Silvia looked up as she heard a loud sound coming from where the horse was tied, followed by the sound of hooves. She jumped up and looked to see her horse fleeing, dragging the rope and stake behind it. She didn't bother chasing after it, but realizing the significance of the rope and stake still being intact, ran to the spot where it had been tied.
She stopped short as she saw the eagle, but although she was awed by the size of it, she knew better than to show it.
Silvia had come across sentient, talking animals before, and logic told her that this was most likely one of them. If not, why would it have pulled out the stake, and why wouldn't it have chased after the horse for food?
Her rifle was too far to get now, so she pulled the pistol out of the holster and aimed it at the eagle.
Silvia:"Hold it right there!"
If it was intelligent, it would most likely know what a gun was for, so she might be able to find out just what it was doing...
