His name is Tyco. Tyco is a barn owl who unlike other Tytos, a docile owl. He has an owner who takes care of him. The owner''s name is Tane Avis. Tane Avis loves her owl, she always play with Tyco whenever she got bored and Tyco loved her too. She also brought Tyco outside for a walk. That day, Noira comes to Tane''s house and asked her to take a walk around the park together. "Hey Tane, do you want to take a walk with me around the park?" Noira asked. "Sure, Noira, just a minute," Tane said and she came out with Tyco on her shoulder. Tane was walking around the street park along with Tyco on her left shoulder and Noira, her friend. "Ahh....Nice breeze of wind," Tyco hooted. "What is it, Tyco?" Tane asked. Tyco screeches softly. "Nothing, I''m just enjoying the wind," Tyco screechied. "Tyco seems enjoying the air around here," Noira said. "How do you know what he said, Noira?" Tane asked. "I don''t know, I''m just guessing..." Noira said. "Hmm? Hey, who''s that?" Tyco noticed a gray skinned woman wearing a black outfit and black pointed hat. Tane looks at what Tyco looking at and wonders,"Who''s that, Noira? She looks like a witch". "I have never seen her before either, let''s approach her," Noira suggested. "Are you crazy? I''m not going to approach a witch, no," Tane refused. "Then let''s approach her together," Noira said. Tane and Noira slowly approach the woman and ask,"Excuse me---" when a girl wearing purple robe and pointy hat who was searching for someone notices Tane and Noira and yells at them,"Hey you two! Don''t get close to her! She''s a dangerous witch!". The woman turns around to her and yells,"Damn! She found me". The woman rides her broom and flies away. "You won''t get away from me!" the girl said chasing after her. As the girl run, she takes Tane along. "You''re coming with me," she said. "Hey wait, stop!" Tane stops her. "Hey, don''t leave me alone!" Noira said. Noira tried to chase them but failed because they already gone far from her. Meanwhile, the woman flies away to the house in front of them. "Damn! She went to that place again," the girl said. "Hey, hold on, who are you?" Tane asked, pulling her hand from the girl''s grip. "My name is Merlinamy or Merlin for short. I am known as the traveling wizard. I travel from one place to another even to other world. That witch just now, she is known as Anima. She has been capturing all animals in every world she visited. I need your help to save the entire creatures in this world," Merlinamy explained. "But how? I''m not a wizard like you," Tane said. "Don''t worry. Here, I will give you this," Merlinamy gave Tane a silenced rifle. "A rifle? What kind of a wizard are you carrying a weapon like this?" Tane asked. "The modern type. Let me show you how to hold it in your hand," Merlinamy said. Tane followed her movement. "Now, go to the small hill near you and don''t shoot until I give the sign to you," Merlinamy said. "Oh and by the way...Wear these before you use the rifle. That rifle''s shooting sound could make you deaf," Merlinamy gives Tane two earmuffs. Merlinamy leaves her and enters the house. Tane climbs up the hill and readies her rifle. As she waits, she covers her ears with earmuffs.


    Meanwhile...Merlinamy sees many animals trapped in cages. "(That Anima...she already captures several animals from other world)" Merlinamy thought when a knife thrown on her and hit her ear''s end. Merlinamy touches her bleeding ear''s edge. Anima approaches her from behind with glowing red eyes. "Anima...!" Merlinamy turns around and throws her fire chakrams on Anima who appeared behind her. Anima vanishes and appears behind Merlinamy, her knife ready to slit Merlinamy''s throat. "Don''t move...Unless you want to die," Anima threatened her. Merlinamy gives wry smile and disappears. "Heh! There''s no way that I will die from you, Anima!" Merlinamy spoke in the dark. "What--How dare you hide from me!!" Anima yelled while looking around. Merlinamy suddenly appears behind her and chokes her throat. "Haven''t I told you that I can teleport to anywhere I want like you?" Merlinamy said. "No...," Anima said. "Sorry, but it''s time for you to return to the Occulus world. After all...Hence the name, you''re an Anima. Anima, one of the ghosts race who haunts people from Occulus the mirror realm," Merlinamy said. Merlinamy sends a signal to Tane while she moves her head to the side. "There''s the signal!" Tyco hooted. Tane shoots Anima''s head. "Argh! Forgive me, Magus...," Anima said before she vanished into the mirror. Merlinamy breaks the mirror and remember Anima mentioned Magus. "Magus...? That sounds familiar...Could it be that she works for Magus the wizard? I thought he has been imprisoned in the Void for his crime of impersonating the God using his magics to command demons," Merlinamy opened the cage and creates a portal to their own world. All animals return to their world except her. Tane comes to her with Tyco on her shoulder. "Is it over?" Tane asked her. "Yeah...Thanks to you and Tyco," Merlinamy said. "Here, I have a gift for you as thanks. It''s about your owl...," Merlinamy casted a magic. "Tyco, you''re now a human boy," Merlinamy turned Tyco into a boy. Tyco looks at himself and jumps around. "Whoa! I''m a human!" Tyco said. Tyco is now a Human. He has brown hair, orange eyes, brownish skin and he wears simple clothing such as white robe with owl''s feather spot design and beige pants. He walks barefoot but he still retain his owl''s talons as his toenails. Tyco looks at his back. He still have his brown owl wings. "I still have my wings?!" Tyco said. "I turned you into an Owlman. I didn''t get rid of your wings, Tyco. They are your lifesavers. Without them, you''re dead when you fall from great height," Merlinamy said. "Thank you, Merlin," Tyco said. "I''m glad you''re happy. Well, it''s time for me to go. See you later," Merlinamy flew with her broom. Tane and Tyco goes back home. "Tane, you''re back. Wait, who are you?" Tane''s mom said. "It''s me Tyco, Tane''s owl," Tyco said, his wings are spread. "We helped a wizard capture an evil witch and she turned Tyco into an owlboy," Tane said. And so...Tane and Tyco enjoy their new life together as brother and sister forever.If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
