Tara stood in the cafeteria line. She thought to her self...Braltese know nothing of cooking. She walked through the line looking at all the descusting foods of her contemporaries.

Talon stepped up. "Just pick something, Tara. Nearly ten years and you still can't what you want in the cafeteria."

Tara muttered. "Ten years and I still see nothing I like."

Talon smiled. He finally picked up a piece of fruit similar to an apple and placed it on her plate. "Come on. You know you won't eat anything else anyway." He pulled her along to the table where he was sitting. Talon had taken her under his wings ten years ago and he thought of her as a daughter. His own children had been killed during the Attack of Brolin.

Also sitting at the table was Tigro, who was my best friend. We often flew together. I have to admit in the last few years I have become very fond of him. He has orange cat like eyes and navy blue hair. He is very fit and an excellent pilot. He had also been taught by Talon.

Tigros smile and sarcastically spoke. " That all she eating again."

"You know how queer her stomach is." Talon placed his tray down. He sat next to me.

"Careful Tara. You will need energy if you are going to fly by me today." Tigros focused his large orange eyes on me.

"Tigros, I will be fine. Don't worry so much." Just as the words left my mouth, I instantly regretted them. Tigros's oldest enemy was walking by with his other four friends.

"Yes Tigros. Don't worry so much about her. She is afterall just a grinta." Grinta in their language means pest or parasite. I am used to them calling me such things by now, but Tigros can't stand it.

" Talmais, you are the grinta. You and your friends. Stay away from me, or I will end you one day." Tigros did not flinch or move. I know he means everything he just said.

Talon stood. Maybe I failed to mention this before, but Talon is taller than any other Braltese I have ever met. He is the strangest I have met also. His skin tone is the color of onyx black and his eyes are green. His ears are pointed at the top and each ear holds a row of earings. He is very muscular for a Braltese his age.
"Young friend, you must consider moving on."
