Editing Running Sheet Birdie of the Tower (section)

=='''Companions'''==
*Pets of Castle Amber.
*Great Mastifs Rex & Odin.  Once Oberon's personal wardogs.  Now Birdie's protectors. 
**These extremely dangerous creatures were fixtures of Oberon's presence for a thousand years.  Nearly always around him.  When Clarissa and Oberon separated he retired the dogs, since they were showing signs of age and being sickly and near death.  They went to Birdie's rooms.  When the king's bed was put in Birdie's room they took their place on it, leaving ample room for her and other pets.   They appear elderly, but are still extraordinarily dangerous. In fact the dogs are slowly growing young in Birdie's presence as she pets them and wraps her arms around them at night.  They are enjoying their life more with Birdie, hense growing younger.

To some degree they protect the animals Birdie protects.
**In need, suits of scale armor appear on them for battle.  The armor is very magical in their own right.
**They often follow Birdie as she goes on her rounds.  If Birdie was for any reason threatened they would instantly appear.
