Birdland has just left Hobbiton.
Sting

She had never felt this way before. Oh sure, there had been others. You don‘t work for an outfit like Moredough without meeting your share of fell beasts on the make, (and she would never forget her first time at the sack of Ozfestiath). But all those others meant nothing now. For the first time in her long career of rampaging and terrorizing, Grrruff the Nazgrrl was in love.

“I never knew such perfection could exist”, she thought. He had the pear-shaped body and short forelegs of a dancer, and the sun shining through his wing membranes outlined every vein and tendon. And he belched flame! Grrruff thought of all the ichor-dripping clods who had tongued her in the past, and then wondered what it would feel like to have her neck tickled with gentle blasts from that internal inferno. Suddenly she felt a glorious tingle in her scaly nethers, and softly cooed his name to herself, rolling it off her forked, spotted tongue: “Chrrrrrysssssophphphphphylaxxxxxxxxxx…”

A high-pitched shriek brought Grrruff back to the present, and she glanced down to see the log she had been carrying had slipped from her distracted claws, and was pin wheeling towards earth. It plummeted towards the heads of the strange band of frozen questers below, all the time screaming “falling….falling….I’M FALLIIIIIING!!!

Rolling her eyes and heaving a sigh, she languidly swooped down to snatch the worthless log in midair, wondering why her partner, Grrralph, (a goblin had once referred to Grrralph as her “pet”. Once.) wanted to lug this particular piece of firewood along. She gave it an irritated shake in order to stop its whimpering, and flapped her wings to catch up with Chrysophylax, who was by now far ahead.

The great section of Entish body part gave a heart-rending groan, squeezed shut its knothole eyes, and blew chips - right on the heads of the straggling Petship.
