AAARGH... 's impossible to decide!
luring the eagle to his hand? hmmmmmm.... As a last resort... of course... not a bad idea!
BUT... I think my final vote is going towards the hiding in his stomach... would be the most interesting to read the results!

| I went with asking cthe eagle to carry you away and then killing him. But its morally degrading and just justifies what the EMperor reagent has said about the Makers.

She's high up in the mountains and only been given a day by the King of Eagles to set him free. I don't think she could physically leave, and if she did then the King would be against her.
A quick thought for freeing Prometheus - the eagle's talons, beak could be used. Assuming we've killed it, suddenly we have some very sharp implements we could use to cut his hands off.
I've voted for trying to lure the eagle to Prometheus' hand - any strength he has we need to take advantage of.
Happy Writing

We still have the problem that she basically cannot travel easily in the mountains, and remember just how good eagle eyesight is, so if she goes for help, she will almost certainly be spotted and recaptured.
Also, this would take her well outside the king's one-day deadline for not interfering with her attempt to free Prometheus.

Going with Rav, and hiding in the stomach.

voted! went for hiding in the stomache because even if she couldn't kill it, her dirty little feet might at least put sufficient dirt onto the liver to infect the eagle. wish there was a fire option though

The liver is gone though. The eagle already made a meal of it I belive. So Pilla is standing in the hole where it should be.

Indeed...I wondered about hiding in the stomach...do you intend to crawl in and be healed up inside, ready to spring when the eagle tears him back open?

| I couldn't decide. Eventually I decided on not deciding, after which the decision became more difficult to decide on, seeing as the decision was inherently meant to be decided on. As it is, I am leaving the decision and not deciding, at the present moment.

That's sorta what I was thinking... yes... perhaps she should have some sort of straw for a breathing hole or something. And she certainly shouldn't be situated where the eagle's likely to bite first!

Yeah it does. But at the present moment, I don't think it has regrown yet. Pilla has already watched the eagle eat the liver, so I think Prometheus would still have a hole in his abdomen. And yes, by time the eagle appears again to feed the liver would have regrown. But I think Pilla will still have enough room to stand, and make herself noticeable.

Didn'y Key say the OPEN wound? I don't think it has time for the flesh to heal, just the liver. Not sure on this point.

Another thought just occurred...
Could she possibly pick the locks on the chains, or at least the one binding one of his hands? Lure the eagle towards that hand and the bird will be even more surprised if that hand is freer to move. I imagine Prometheus will ultimately have to break free off all his bindings, but perhaps Pilla could loosen up enough for his hand to be of more use.

I didn't say the flesh was reforming just the organ. I think there should still be enough room to stand once the liver grows back. Of course what would make Pilla even more noticeable would be if she stood on the liver itself once the eagle reappears.

Poll's closed. Hiding in the stomach won.
Look for the next chapter in two days.

don't worry Raven, I was talking to Rav and Fauna. You wouldn't need a breathing hole.
And Key... looking forward to it!

Okay... Good thing I don't have only a hole to allow me to breathe.
