Description: A kite whos life was in mortal war with other birds, felt sick reduced to his last bit of life. So, he calls a Hen for help and explains his issue, and how he wants to pray to the gods for his health back. However the Hen refuses, saying she would rather pray for a good death, as her fury and that of her chicks depend on it entirely.
