The Tale: The eagle rider

  In the ancient kingdom there was a man called Azure who was the bravest and swiftest eagle rider of the kingdom. 

  On his adventure, he encountered the sky bandits who were chasing after a bird; it was an eagle he never saw. He repelled the bandits. The bird fled away, so fast that he could merely catch a sight of its snowy tail. He was fascinated by the eagle and swore to conquer one himself. 

  He visited an old mage and asked about the bird; the mage said it was the legendary eagle of the Dragonhawk, the swiftest bird in the world living on the forbidden peaks; they lived so high that nobody ever found them.

  Obsessed with the eagle, he traded with the warlock and turned himself into an eagle. He was told he could only won loyalty of a hawk by taking its white feather on the tail. 

  He found the Dragonhawks on the peak; they approved of his staying; yet no hawk flew with him——he was just different. He often appreciated the birds alone on the peak. A month later, Dragonhawks had their festival; all hawks flew to the sky and changed their tail feather in the moonshine. He tried to catch up but failed. He was left behind, appreciating the hawks alone.

  The eagle troops of the kingdom appeared. They carried bows and arrows on battle eagles; they shot at the Dragonhawks. One of the arrows hit Azure. He fell down. No troop cared about an ordinary eagle nor did any Dragonhawk. He ended his life in azure sky.
