The bright sun had greeted my closed eyes with a burning sensation. The bright flash burned them without mercy as I fell from my spot on the tree, branch to branch. I was on the wrong side of the tree again this morning, I had realized when my sight was regained at the forest floor. The cyote cubs had greeted me with happy yelps as their mother watched closely. It was another beautiful day. heart I had been left in the forest, to be raised by my own instincts with the help of forest and it's many inhabitants. There weren't any animals like me, but it was okay. I enjoyed being diferent, and they didn't have anything against my lack of fur either. I stretched the red wings on my forearms out, and smiled at the canopy, and at the small rays of light it let in. The cyote had already eaten breakfast, by the looks of the mangled deer nearby the drinking pond. It didn't matter much to me. Sometimes, to keep your own life, you need to sacrifice the life of another. The cubs were kind enough to leave me a bit of meat on the ribs. I wasn't much of a fan of deer meat, but I politely accepted. I washed the meat off in the pond the way the raccoons did their food, before consuming it, then I bathed in the water of the pond. The water spirit greeted me. The shape of a fox, but pure water. The spirit loved to play, which is why I learned that trying to breathe while in water is rather uncomfortable. She was what made the water so pure. If it weren't for her, it would be almost impossible for the animals to survive of of the continuous contamination. The water on her body glowed as it jumped about on the surface, dripping peices of itself, but quickly regenerating. I stayed at a safe distance as she dance. Suddenly, she stopped and sunk into the water. My ears picked up a strange noise that became louder and louder. I didn't move, but the animals retreated to their homes. I turned my head to see a giant heavy bird fall into the forest, toppling over several trees. My large ears twitched as I unfolded my wings, and jumped from tree branch to tree branc, each one catapulting me to the next. The bird was broken, but it had a large hole inside it. A creature jumped out from inside the bird. No... Two! They had hardly any fur, and couched repetitively as rising dust poured from the hole in the bird. One of them had a piece of the sun jumping on his jacket. The red, orange, yellow light must have been painful, because he was screaming quite loudly. He removed some of his skin, and stomped on it in the dirt. The piece of sun lowly withered and died, and the piece of skin was just black dirt now. I curiously watched them as I tilted my head. I moved in for a closer look. The one with black fur on his head heard me, as the one with removable skin and yellow hair returned to the inside of the bird. I watched the black hair from the bushes as my ears twitched, and he spotted me. He spoke in an odd way unlike the growls and whines I've heard.
"Can you tell us where we can find supplies?" He said.
"Mya." I said as I got up and looked at him curiously. His face changed to a reddish color. Was he some sort of lizard----(not finished)
