Sing-Song Knife, Night and Void (Shard)

Having hopped up onto a raised surface in open land to sing songs to all those who would listen, you're feeling pretty good about life.
That is, until the songs are sung back. A winged shadow passes overhead.
You look up, the Void-Eagle looks down.
What do you do?
Alright Do or die then.
[X] Akali: Showing no fear for himself Akali makes way for the children so he can sing more to the bird drawing as much of its attention as possible, his Sun Striker art is brought to the fore as he shines making certain the beasts knows that he is the most precious prey.
He then waits for he had heard the tale of Kare who was struck from behind, his Frenzy would tell him of its trajectory and if it vanished into thin air or approached he'd not give it a moment to react before grappling it and trying to crush its neck under the weight of his martial arts.
Sing-Song Knife, Night and VoidThe bird disappears in a puff of icy smoke, Akali's Frenzy working overtime to track its movements. Though his Frenzy had led him wrong in its intended course of action--or, at least, the method it would go about it--his intelligence more than makes up the gap in ability.
Whirling about on the spot, he leaps off the raised platform just as the Void-Eagle reappears behind him, beak primed to snatch up one of the now-fleeing children. But it was not to be, for Akali's arms wrap about its neck as he squeezes with all his sun-strengthened might. Bones pop as the bird squawks, but death does not find it this day.
Thrashing its head around, the bird manages to break Akali's grip and fling him to the ground. He scrambles to his feet, Frenzy screaming at him, but he's not fast enough. The bird's talon rips strips of flesh from his legs, robbing him of motive force.
The bird looms in the sky, its head blocking out the sun. Lifting a victorious leg, it prepares to deliver the final blow.
A screaming warcry splits the air as a knife sinks home. Plunged deep into the leg upon which the Void-Eagle stands is a child's little belt-knife, one belonging to none other than Bo Eriksson, the five-year-old son of Erik and Agnes Olsen. He stands there, shaking, as the bird turns its gaze on him; but even with the hate-filled eyes of death on him, Bo meets it with what little determination his young heart can muster.
And that's all the distraction Akali needs to soak up as much sun as he can. Hauling himself to his feet, the crown of the sun burning on his brow, Akali darts forward with his fist raised. Infused with all the strength of the sun, the fist flies with force unmatched as it sinks deep into the chest of the beast.
The Void-Eagle stumbles back, shock and surprise playing out across its face--both at the feat and the fact that it still lives.
Twisting on the spot, it hurls itself into the sky with a puff of icy smoke.

I got a bit inspired, what can I say?
Sight the singer of night, [1]
Song long returned he turns.[2]
Beak-snatcher to catch child,
Beat by grasping eat-meet. [3]
Wears and tears flesh in flash,
Winged of ice swings for win,
But Bo cuts Snow-Wing's legs,
Buys life with stabbing knife.

[2] Void Birb showing up
[3] Akali grabbing Void Birb's neck - eat-meet is a kenning for the neck... it's a bit tortured I know..
