-The rise of the birds - Chapters 1 and 2 - Iamwacko - - chapter one - Setting : Alfreidoe forest Angelfeather woke up from her nest. She flapped her wings and blinked a couple of times to make sleep disappear from the corners of her eyes. "Angel! " Mama called. " The Great Elder is making an announcement today!! " " Huh! " Angelfeather yawned. " Get up. Your brother is already awake and i'm sure we don't want to be la- ate! " Mama said in a sing-song voice. Angelfeather snorted. Her brother? Ahead of her? Not happening! Angelfeather went down and splashed her talons in a nearby rain puddle, and saw her family at a pond waiting impatiently. " Sorry, we had to get started, " Mama said. "It's OK. I know how to fly. " Angelfeather said sarcastically. " Let's let's go! " Said her brother, Clumsy. By the time they reached the meeting tree, heated murmurs were going throughout their whole community. " Did you hear! This meeting has something to do with the prophecy! " One bird said. " Those knaves are always up to something!" Another bird retorted. The Great Elder came out of the tree along with his fully grown daughter, Hazelnut. The crowd grew silent. " As you all know, this announcement is about the prophecy my mother saw before her passing." The Great Elder said. Everyone bowed their heads to the ground. The Great Elder nodded at Hazelnut . " It is time." Hazelnut looked up . " The stars have aligned, and the time of the prophecy has come. I shall announce the four chosen ones. " She said. Angelfeather found her chanting the words, " please don't be me " over and over again in her mind. Hazelnut studied the crowd. " The chosen ones are, Diamonde, Husk, Clumsy, and Angelfeather." Wait WHAT!! Freeze. Angelfeather was one of the chosen four???? Why her!?!? Why can't the prophecy take place at another time where everyone is brave, and cool, and has laser guns!! All the birds near her had their eyes on Angelfeather and Clumsy. Angelfeather stiffened up. She didn't want to look weak. Diamonde squealed. "Kindly meet me and my father after everyone leaves." Hazelnut said. - chapter two - Angelfeather was tensed, but she was working very hard to hide it. She looked at the group. Sure, they had been close playmates when they were fledglings, but as they got older, they slowly grew apart. Looking at them now gave her a rush back to when she was a child. " Angel!! O.M.G it's been so long!!! " " Hi, Diamonde. " Angelfeather said. " Diamonde is waay to formal, You can call me Dy! " Dy said. "Thought it was your name," Husk murmured. The Great Elder walked to them. " Children, " The Great Elder said, " us birds used to live together in harmony. it was paradise here in Alfreidoe forest. But then the knaves came.The knaves are selfish, brutal, and ABSOLUTE IDIOTS!! " He seethed. Husk flinched. "They want something from us, and they don't even know what it is! But we need more allies. Lucky for us, we have a prophecy. " Clumsy fidgeted with his talons, trying to pay attention. " Seems like i'm not the only one who's a little tense. " Angelfeather thought. " You must go , " Hazelnut said, " but not like this. All of our so-called allies have turned into humans because of a curse that was placed on them. You guessed it! Knaves! Your job is to get as many allies as you can, and if you want to communicate with them, you need to become them." The four shuddered. They knew the transformation was going to be disturbing. " I have a friend in the city named Rik. He can help you get started." The Great Elder said. " Tomorrow will be the day you people depart. I look forward to seeing you at the crack of dawn. " The Great Elder concluded. The group looked at each other. " Welp, tomorrow's gonna be a long day. " Angelfeather thought. That night, she had a dream about a war.
