Chapter 1: The Chase A long time ago, Aeroon used to be a peaceful world, with clusters of floating islands, and no big problems whatsoever. Until the birds came… and chased all of the humans underground. Now, the birds have picked them off one by one, and June was the only human left. Sounds kinda horrible, right? You’d be correct. With only an inexperienced kid to take care of the Hollows, things were not going well. Besides the killer birds, the mushroom farms were dying, the place was a mess, and not to mention she was the only one left? Anyway, since she was running out of food, she was forced to scavenge above ground. She snuck along the forest floor, careful not to call attention to herself. Sticking her head out from behind a tree, she found what she was looking for- some berries, and a dead rabbit that made her squeamish. Nevertheless, simply the thought of those berries made her drool. Her stomach suddenly growled, and she heard caws. *Oh gosh, I’m gonna be bird food if I don’t run!* The closest hollow entrance was pretty far away, but it was possible to reach. She ran as fast as her legs could carry her, hearing wings flap behind her. They were gaining on her, but she was almost there. She weaved through the trees, trying to shake them off. *I'm going to make it!* Until she felt it. A talon, tearing through the skin of her left shoulder. She fell to the ground in tears, the pain and agony seemingly spreading through her body. She didn’t even see the bird leave; her sight blurred from tears and pain. *This is it, I’m gonna die,* she thought. Her screams turned into screeches, and her eyes became heavy. *I’m not blacking out now. I don’t think I’d wake back up.* She shuddered at the thought, but when she did, she didn’t feel almost any pain. *Well, that’s weird. I don’t think pain just disappears like that,* she thought. She tried to wipe her tears, but instead of an arm, she saw a wing. *Oh no no no no no no. Please say this isn’t happening.* She looked into the puddle of tears, and a bald eagle stared back at her. She thought, *Oh [SCREE], I’m a bird, aren’t I?* Then, realization hit. *WAIT WHA-*
