Jay screeched in alarm and struggled to defend himself against the evil Pure Ones.

Back at the tree hollow: Tylisia's eyes shot open and her heart pace quickened. Jay! She thought frantically, hearing her mate's call of distress. She flew out of her hollow and soared as fast as she could to where she had heard the screech from Jay. She knew he was in immediate danger and needed to find him as quickly as she could.
Jay latched onto one of the Pure One's wings with his talon and bit another one's leg as they all surrounded and attacked him. He screeched again, and Tylisia flew faster. Finally she saw what was happening; she was several feet above the battle, unnoticed, and with as much power force as she could muster, she dove straight down and slammed into PO#1. With her talons, she latched her sharp claws into his neck and killed him immediately. The two other Pure Ones, temporarily distracted by the intrusion of Tylisia, were caught off guard when Jay suddenly made his move and grabbed PO#2's wing. He screeched in surprised and flopped in the air frantically, but Jay had a strong grip on him and he wouldn't let go. While Jay distracted PO#2, Tylisia shot upwards and dug her claws into his back. He screeched and let go of Jay's wing. Jay let go of PO#2's wing and PO#2 dropped out of sight. Tylisia and Jay both turned on PO#3, but in a second he darted away, with his leg injured from Jay biting it with his beak. He knew better than to stay and try to fight both of them when he was injured.
Once Tylisia saw that PO#3 had disappeared from her view, she turned to Jay. He was still able to fly, but barely. His wing was gashed and he was exhausted. Tylisia flew over to him and said, with worry clearly in her voice, "Hurry, we need to get you back to the kingdom. I think I can carry you there..." She wrapped her claws around him to try and carry him, but he was larger than her and much heavier, and her claws were too small. Nevertheless, she tried. Her wings beat frantically as she attempted to stay in the air and carry Jay."I can't, I'm just too small!" She said finally.
"Call for help." Jay cooed, struggling to fly. Tylisia nodded and screeched the emergency call as loud as she could. It echoed as far as the kingdom and a few owls that were the most nearby heard it. They screeched back in return and notified other owls, whom notified even more owls. Two of them, two large warrior owls, flew out to find where the emergency screech had come from. When they finally did, one of them said, "What happened?" As he quickly observed Jay.
"He was attacked by three Pure Ones." Tylisia hissed. The two warrior owls gave each other a dark look, and then they both flew to each side of Jay to hold him up. One of them screeched and notified the other owls that they had the situation under control as they flew back to the kingdom, with Tylisia following close behind them.
