Stretching out before them was a deep canyon, and across from it stood sheer, dangerous cliffs. Countless eagles soared through the air, their calls echoing through the chasm. The scene was breathtaking, like something out of a movie.


    "This is one of the eagles'' main habitats," Dane exined. "Look over there, a mother eagle is teaching her fledgling to fly. And over there, a young one is learning to hunt."


    Lowell turned to look at Dane, finally understanding why he had brought him here. Evan loved eagles. Dane had gone to all this trouble just for the video call. It was thoughtful.


    "Evan will love this. I''ll call him right now."


    Lowell dialed the number on Evan''s watch phone. It rang for a moment before Evan answered, breathless and covered in sweat. "Mr. Lowell!"


    Lowell smiled warmly. "Still training?"


    "Yeah. Did you see the prettydy and Jove?"


    Lowell''s mouth twitched. "I''m with the *Dane* right now. Look."


    Lowell switched the camera and slowly panned the phone around to show Evan the view.


    "Whoa- Whoa-"


    A smile touched Dane''s lips at Evan''s exmations of wonder. Suddenly, the


    camera focused on him. Dane froze as he heard Evan shout, "Prettydy!"


    Dane''s smile froze on his face, and for a moment, he didn''t know how to respond.


    Lowell stepped in. "Evan, don''t be rude. This is a man, an older guy."


    Evan pursed his lips and corrected himself. "Hello, Dane. Are all these your eagles?"


    Dane recovered. "No, only Jove is mine. The others are wild eagles from the mountains."


    "It''s spectacr! Where''s Jove?"


    Dane looked up at the sky and called out, "Jove!"


    An eagle, soaring high above, heard the call and immediately screeched as it dove


    down. It slowed as it neared Dane,nding steadily on his shoulder.


    Evan immediately yelled, "That''s so cool! Jove, you''re awesome!"


    Jove screeched back at Evan.


    "Hold on, I''ll show you something right now," Evan said. He handed his watch phone to the scarred man next to him and asked him to film. Then, he scrambled up a huge tree and leaped down from the top branch! He even showed off his karate moves for Jove, snapping a thick branch with a swift kick and breaking a small wooden board with a punch.


    Dane was astonished. "!"


    Jove spread its wings and cried out!


    "See my strength?" Evan asked. "Am I worthy of being your friend?"


    Jove screeched, and Evan giggled. "Let me show you my White."


    White was currently coiled around Evan''s wrist, asleep. Evan tapped its head. "Wake up, White. Say hello to the Dane and Jove."


    White''s tiny eyes opened a crack, its forked tongue flicking out toward the camera. Jove let out a panicked cry and flew a good distance away.


    Dane: "?!"


    Evanughed. "Don''t be scared! You''re my friend, so you''re White''s friend. Even if you met in person, White wouldn''t hurt you."


    Jove took a defensive stance, screeching from a distance.


    "White and I can''t fly," Evan said. "Jove, you can fly really, really high, can''t you?"


    At that, Jove gathered its strength and shot up into the clouds. Lowell quickly raised his phone to follow its flight. After sparing into the sky,


    canyon, then reversed direction just before hitting the ground and shot


    Jove plunged headfirst into th 1. ne


    back up again.


    Evan watched, ecstatic, pping his hands. "Go, Jove!"


    After showing off for a while, Jove suddenly spotted something. It dove down and snatched arge bird, returning to Dante''s side li ced the bird on the ground, pinning its head with its sharp talons, looking majestic.


    Evan apuded enthusiastically. "Jove, you''re amazing! So amazing!"
