1 Chapter 1 : The fall

On a morning that didn't look like one, the air elemental plain had two additional lives breathing on it as air energy condensed and turned into a different form of existence known to man as Aarakocra.

As later named by himself; 'Kleek', was akin to the setting sun. He had a body coloured in orange, and feathers that shone like flames with yellow and red.

'Zkeek' was the complementary -yet, exact opposite- of his kin. His being resembled a cool night breeze; body the colour of the ocean adorned with silver and blue feathers glinting like moonlight.

For they came to be at the same time, the two lived together no different from a pair of twins.

The siblings' peaceful and uneventful life continued for two years. On a similarly quiet day, they went on their daily hunt for food, but little did they know, that this seemingly boring day marked the end of their peaceful life. Because a portal happened to open right under Kleek's feet.

Shocked, astonished and flustered, Kleek could do nothing but fall down, save for the very useless flailing of his hands of course.

The next second all he saw was blue and green switching rapidly; he was spinning in midair while falling. He kept flailing around with his hands and wings, it wasn't until he was a couple of meters above the ground that he finally managed to regain his balance and spread his wings.
