Third Person's POV:
Jimmy and Grian were both a form of bird hybrid. A species of hybrid known to be endangered and on the brink of extinction. Jimmy was a Canary hybrid, with golden wings, a soothing voice, and a calming aura. Grian was a parrot hybrid, with lush green, blue and yellow wings, and the ability to confuse anyone with different sounds. They grew up together in a small town where the last few bird hybrids lived.
The two were inseparable, doing almost everything together as if they were deeply bonded siblings. Going for a fly, eating some bread, exploring the forest. Nothing could stop them from completing the goals they set their minds to. They had peaceful lives, growing up in each other's company.
That peace came to an end though. Arrows came flying and wooden huts along with the trees were set ablaze. The two kids had to watch in horror as Hybrid hunters made their way through their home, destroying and killing everything and everyone in their path. Grian knew it was time to leave, seeing as the hunters weren't leaving anything untouched.
The parrot hybrid dragged his smaller friend away from the flames, the two of them running as fast as their little legs could take them. For days they survived on their own, their only food source the seeds from the grass they picked. Their hope was starting to fade, that was until they saw light up ahead in the darkness.
With the last bit of sunlight from the day lighting their path, they stumbled forward, finding a small village up ahead. The board read "Life Village," and next to it stood the words "All hybrids welcome." Grian had a weird sense of trust in this place, so he led Jimmy into the small village with him.
Upon arriving they were met by a man with angel-like wings and a halo. An angel hybrid. The man flew over to the two boys to help them. "Are you two okay?! You guys seem exhausted!" The man questioned the two boys. Jimmy was already passed out, all of that walking on minimum food taking a toll on the small boy's body. Grian also looked as if he could fall asleep at any moment.
The man called for someone, but the words he said didn't register in Grian's mind. Instead the small boy decided to join his best friend in sleeping, passing out on the man's lap. His mind told him not to trust them, but his heart told him they were kind. So the kid passed out, finally letting exhaustion hit him into deep slumber.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Third Person POV (Skizz):
Skizz was doing his daily walk around the village, checking in with his neighbors "Gem and the Scotts" before going to pick up Bdubs and Scar from Cleo and Etho. The two young boys came over to the Heart Foundation, playing around with the cherry petals that fell onto the island floor. Eventually, Tango also came up to play, starting to chase Scar and Bdubs around as Bdubs rode his imaginary horse away from "danger."
The whole village was surrounded by a barrier of trees, isolating it from the outside world. Inside was a form of refuge for Hybrids who didn't want to be found or seen. A sanctuary made up of different factions. Skizz kept a watchful eye over the few youngsters. Usually, BigB, his fex buddy would look after Tango, but he was out doing some form of a task at the Mounders. Something about wanting to talk to Mumbo.
A sudden rustling sound came from some trees off of the small island near some growing sugarcane, catching Skizz's attention. He flew over with his large pure white angel wings, going to check out the potential danger. What he didn't expect to find were two small children with... WINGS?! Bird hybrids?!
The two small bird hybrids looked exhausted and dirty. The one with golden wings passed out against his older companion, falling asleep. The one with parrot-like wings also looked like he was going to pass out. "Are you two okay?! You guys seem exhausted!" Skizz asked, not getting an answer from the younglings.
The small boy with the red sweater soon also fell asleep, falling into Skizz's lap. The angel hybrid saw BigB on the island talking to Scar, and he called him over, needing assistance with the two boys. BigB, upon seeing his friend hunched over, fought Skizz was injured and rushed over to help his friend.
He too was in shock when he saw the two small children, crouching down to get a better look. "They just seemed to wander in through the border. They seem to be in bad shape, and they looked exhausted." Skizz explained, picking up the small boy who was sleeping in his lap and cradling him in his arms. BigB did the same with the smaller bird hybrid, making sure not to accidentally hurt him.
The two men decided to take the small children up to the Cherry hills where Gem and the Scotts lived. They were allies to Skizz and BigB, and Scott and Gem had a past of taking care of kids. Plus, the only other group they would have entrusted kids to would be Cleo and Etho, since they already have two of their own.
Scott and Gem happily took the two kids in, Scott using his powers to teleport both of them onto his bed under the covers for warmth.
(Scott is going to have the same powers and semi-appearance as that of his first origin in New Life!)
Impulse soon after also joined the party on the hill, the five grown-ups discussing the two kids. As much as Gem, Impulse and Scott wanted to take care of them, they couldn't take care of them for long, so they decided they would talk to Etho, the Village's leader, about holding a server-wide meeting to discuss the kid's fate.
~Time Skip to the next day!~
Both Jimmy and Grian woke up in a strange bed, a man with cyane hair and small floating portals standing in the doorway of the small cottage. He was dressed as if he was a part of a band, and he looked nice. Grian however, still having some trust issues, kept Jimmy close to him. He semi-hid Jimmy behind one of his small wings, Jimmy's eyes peaking above the multi-colored wings.
Scott turned around and was met with two soulless-looking black eyes staring back up at him. "Hello kid. My name is Scott, you are inside my cottage at the moment." He gave off a calm and confident aura, and he had a gentle smile on his face. Grian relaxed a bit, his wings folding back behind him.
"We are going to meet up with some of my friends in a minute to decide where you are going to live. Sadly you can't live with me, our group has a bit of a target on our back, especially me with Joel..." The cyanate let out a small, nervous chuckle, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly. Jimmy nodded aggressively, excitement flowing through his tiny body. Grian was more hesitant but decided it was probably not going to be that bad.
All of them stood in a circle next to this big rock with a symbol on it. Etho, the supposed leader of the Village stood in the middle, examining the kids, and then the people around him. He was busy choosing the best place for the two kiddos to stay based on their caretaker's personality and experience.
Etho Finally made his decision, his words shocking the people around him, Including the person he chose. "Martyn," Etho began, staring at the dog hybrid who looked completely dumbfounded. "He will take care of the children. He has had a lot of experience with kids before and I believe the kids would like his way of thinking and living."
"But Etho, Martyn is a dangerous person! He is part of the red lives with Lizzy and Mumbo! I don't think this is a good idea..." Pearl decided to speak up, saying the words the rest of the crowd was to scared to say. Etho only hummed, looking back towards Jimmy and Grian. Jimmy had a red streak in his hair, and Etho made up his mind about his decision.
"Jimmy, the one with golden wings is also a part of the red livers. Because of this, I know Martyn won't do anything."
"And what about Grian? He looks to be a Green live!" Ethos companion Cleo talked up. Cleo always knew what was right and what was wrong in every situation. That's why Bdubs lived with the Mounders. Scar however lived with her and Etho.
A sigh could be heard from behind the mask as Etho examined Grian one last time, seeing the streak of Green in the child's hair. "I will take him in with Cleo. And this is the final decision." Some of the server members where satisfied with the answer, others not so much as it meant the two boys had to get separated. But their leader has spoken, and soon Etho left with Grian hand in hand, and Martyn took Jimmy up to the Big Dog Shack with him in his arms.
Grian and Jimmy didn't like the idea of being apart, but they knew it was for the best to not upset their new caretakers. They did not want to get kicked out of their new safe home. What really sealed the deal was when Skizz told them that he would come pick them up every second day to go and play with the other kids on the Heart Foundation island.
Jimmy settled in pretty quickly with Martyn, even trying to learn to bark and howl like the dog hybrid. Grian was a bit more hesitant but grew to like Cleo and Etho's son Scar a lot as he played with him all day.
Peace was restored to the little ones' lives, but peace never lasts...
