The falcon and his friends
Carvallo
At one moment, he is a falcon, the next he is a prince. But no matter what, he is always brave and gallant. He is searching for the world, where his people belong.
Monika
She likes to know everything about others. The things she can’t get out of them, she tries to guess.
Sigurd
He likes to know all sorts of things. What he does not know already, he finds online or at the library.
Sandra
Sandra is Sigurd’s baby sister. She wants to be part of everything. But she is better at interfering than at thinking before she acts.
“Popcorn!” Monika said. “Popcorn turned in butter. That can always make me happy if I’m sad. I’ll make you some.”
“It’s nice of you,” Carvallo said. “But…”
He spoke to the empty air. Monika was already on her way to the kitchen.
Carvallo sat on the covered porch in front of Monika’s house. Sigurd and Sandra were there, too.
A violent shower had chased them inside.
Now the rain poured down on the garden and drummed on the ceiling.
Carvallo sighed deeply.
“I should just give up,” he said. “I’ll
Never find Xintra anyway. I have visited one world after the other, both alone and together with you. I have been to so many places I don’t keep count anymore. But none of them turned out to be Xintra.”
Sandra looked at him with worry.
“Does that mean you’ll never go back to your own world?” she asked. “And be with the other Wanderers?”
“It doesn’t look like it,” Carvallo said with another sigh. “I thought it would be so easy. As I’ve told you, us Wanderers had to flee from Xintra when the dragons conquered our world. It was before I was born. Some years later, we decided to fight the dragons. A group of brave warriors flew through space towards Xintra. I was too young to join them. But I ran off on my own to follow them. Unfortunately, I was lost. Since then I have travelled around and tried to find Xintra. But it seems to be impossible. I might as well give up.
“Nothing is impossible,” Sigurd said. “Think of it as a scratch cards. Maybe you’ll win the next time.”
“Yes, I once got a scratch card from my mom,” Sandra said to Carvallo. “And you know what? I won 4 pounds!”
Monika came back with a large bowl of hot popcorn that she had turned in butter.
“Here you go, Carvallo,” she said and put in on the table.
He looked astounded on the glinting yellow things in the bowl.
“Shouldn’t I get a plate?” he asked.
“And a spoon?”
Sandra giggled.
Sigurd looked sternly at her and whispered:
“Carvallo has probably never had popcorn before.”
Monika’s face turned red.
“You just do like this,” Sigurd said to
Carvallo. He took a handful of popcorn and put them in his mouth.
“Hey, hey! They are for Carvallo,” Monika said.
