Dirty Dirty Birds
I love this headline. "Falcons coach Petrino won't say who will start at quarterback Sunday."
It's not like they're trying to sneak up on people with some last minute change. The Atlanta Falcons have become the witness protection program of the NFL. They may not even put names on the jerseys. After Michael Vick was suspended, the NFL shop's top selling personalized Falcons jersey was "Sample."

Darian is the black sheep of the village, blamed for every misdemeanour of the village children. His dead parents were trappers who caused the villagers, who feared to go into the woods they were surrounded by, fear they would bring death to them in the form of a monster formed by the Mage Storms. When his parents died they barely held back from saying good riddance, they then apprentice Darian with the village hedge wizard - Justyn. However, this makes Darian unhappy and the villages feel he is ungrateful causing them to be hostile.
The mage tries his best, not very good with children as he is, but Darian just doesn't want to learn to use the magical ability inside him. Then one day the village is unexpected attacked by barbarians from the north - the Bear Clan - who take over the village. In the fight Justyn is killed and Darian flees. During his flight Darian is almost caught by two of the barbarians chasing him when he is unexpectedly rescued by a Hawkbrother scout called Snowfire, who has some magic of his own.
Snowfire takes Darian back to the temporary camp where they set out to find out what happened, However, Darian is very upset with the realisation that Justyn only ever tried to help him – even when Darian was outrageously rude. Mixed with suppressed feelings for his parents who he believes are not dead and distaste for the villagers, Snowfire, along with the mages Starfall & Nightwind and the gryphon Kel, they gradually help him come to terms with his Justyn’s death and the attack on the village.
Darian is adopted by the Hawkbrothers and becomes Snowfire’s little brother. However, he cannot leave to villagers to their fate as slaves—even if they have treated him wrongly in the past. He helps the Hawkbrothers infiltrate the village and attack and drive out the Bear Clan. In the process Darian almost gets killed by their Shaman but kills him instead.
In the end Darian is faced with either staying with the villagers as their mage or going off with the Hawkbrothers. In the end he compromises—he will travel with the Hawkbrothers for a few years to learn magic and then return as the village mage. Pleased with Darian maturity Snowfire gives Darian his bond bird, a fledgling owl.
