I think the reason Kale was getting executed was because he assaulted one of the hawk guards after breaking the medallion. I think he did this on purpose in order to get them to take him out and have him executed so he actually had a chance at escaping and freeing the other falcons. Is that how it went? I don't really remember...
There was a scene where Tyrin and Rinka went in the dungeons, I think it was to free Crow. That's where they found Aella, who was a little roughed up and hiding the fact she was traumatized after having witnessed her juvenile daughter murdered right in front of her, hours before. K'Nova didn't do it himself, but he ordered guards to do it for him. I think his reasoning behind that was to break Aella into submission... Besides the point.
Aella, Tyrin and Rinka then come across a group of good falcon soldiers, who were rescuing a badly beaten Kerija. He was unconscious, had chipped/broken beak, his left wing had been broken at least the day previous and was not healing correctly, and he had infected cuts. I think I decided at the time that he would stay alive, but would never be able to fly again, or at least fly the way he used to. The two groups interacted briefly before going their separate ways.
Aella, Tyrin and Rinka made it out of the dungeons, back into the palace where everything was chaotic, because if I remember correctly, Kurosa (masked Syrune), Kurai and Kale freed the Peregrine Falcons and Finnican. Falcons were battling against hawks and hawk allies. Aella's group met up with Kale's group and Finnican. Aella and Finnican definitely headed for K'Nova's study.
(well, it was actually Kerija's, but K'Nova was using it) (Oh, that's right! When Tyrin and the others first met K'Nova, he told them Kerija had died in his sleep and that's why he was in charge now. He also said something about becoming allies with hawks, which you know already
).
They headed there to get Fayru, and I think everyone except Tyrin and Rinka went with them. At the study, they saw K'Nova with Fayru, trying to escape with her. Fin, Aella and the others dispatched the guards that were there before surrounding K'Nova. They cut the chain from Fayru's shackle and used it to bind him. Then while they waited for Tyrin and Rinka, Aella attacked and struck K'Nova for what he'd done, revealing to everyone that he'd ordered the death of his niece. One of her blows destroyed his left eye.
While all that happen, Tyrin and Rinka turned into Phoenix, figured out the mental connection thing, sent the hawks to The Council and the falcons outside of the palace together. Everyone met up in the study, Finnican was sent with Fayru to retrieve the Key and gather anything else that seemed useful in The Vault (and that's where they found the TARDIS!) And they did end up finding the Key piece, before everything happened.
Soon everyone gathered in front of The Vault with K'Nova in tow, where they shoved him in and closed it on him. The key word to open The Vault only worked from the outside, so there was no way K'Nova could escape using that. No way he could escape at all. And since Aella was there to witness K'Nova's imprisonment, she knew that The Vault could not be opened to let him out, so she would tell Kerija next she saw him. The secret room leading to The Vault would be closed and locked so no one could happen to stumble in on The Vault door.
The group went outside, Tyrin revived the falcon roost, Aella was reunited with her mate and daughter (much to poor Kale's disappointment... Sorry Kale)(Not that I'm saying he's disappointed that they're alive, he just seemed disappointed that Aella wasn't single), Kale and Fin had an awkward goodbye, Kurai and Kurosa joined Tyrin's party and the group headed back to the wolf pack. During the journey, Rinka gathered moss with Kurai, Finnican acted as bait for a snake he and Tyrin were hunting, Fayru learned about Kurosa's true identity, Rinka and Tyrin talked about their future, Finnican talked to Kurosa, the fake mute, and basically confessed his feelings for Syrune, right in front of disguised Syrune, yadda yadda yadda... Then they arrived at the wolves' camp only to learn that Rose had been kidnapped by T'Sone, and Najmah and Drellan were tracking her down. You probably remember everything from there.
Alright, I think that's everything! You might've already known some of what I typed above, but I typed it all anyway just in case. I hope I'm not missing anything... Anyway, I'm signing off now. To anyone who's still around, good night and sweet dreams!
