Legends were never born in great cities. They began in quiet places, in Elden Hollow, with people who never expected to be remembered.
Kael was nothing more than an orphan shepherd. Even so, it felt like the sky was watching him. Most days, he wandered the woodlands, leading his sheep to pasture. In his free time, he listened to the elders' tales of gigantic and carnivorous birds called Sky Birds.
They soared through the skies and perched atop the highest branches. A person once woke to a chilling sound in the dead of night. When they listened closely, they heard the distant cry, by dawn, one of their sheep was gone, with not a single trace of the creature left behind.
He often wondered, could a person ever soar on the back of such a creature? To know what flying truly felt like?  He would run across the fields, arms out like wings, letting the wind rush past him. In those moments, he almost thought he could grow wings and fly.
