Entry 1

Dorhein/1st eve/17434

well ill tell A summery of my first three years

When i was hatched i was terribly ugly, well to me at least. I was all bald and wrinkly which, at the time, was pretty normal but it was soon realized i wasn't quite like the other three of my hatch. For one, I did not crave the same as my flock. I don't wish to reunite with the sky like others cursed flightless, i was even scared of heights. And while death followed my whole clutch, i was the only to survive. This brought on quite the voices, the one that explained deaths close hand. I was necromancer and the voices? past users which push my cravings and teach my mimicry.

Despite the constant chatter i took longer then most to speak. i took two months to talk, and as i said before it was mimicking the noise of leaves giving me my name. when it came time to begin lessons from the elder over language, religion, and morals it began apparent that i wont be normal. I wouldn't go because they nest at the highest point of our home which was much to high. this brought lots of teasing from screech, rain, and clap, my sisters. Eventually my flock left me for my fear after my sisters died.

My sisters died because of a murder in the area we use to live in. My sisters lived climbing trees, always fought to get to the top first, while i enjoyed watching the rabbits and deer of the forest. one day while my sisters were climbing the trees people in the nearby town spotted them and because of the discrimination of kenku especially young ones who cant communicate as well, they were taken and killed. my flock decided to live far from people to stop the rest of us to be harmed for the next dumb crime we don't commit. the issue with leaving though is that i was in much greater danger being unwilling to go high up even at night with travelers nearby and worse when scouting new homes. Eventually they decided i was not worth the work and with my adult feathers, they decided to leave me. My mother, twig, and my father, click, managed to convince them to leave me near a nicer village. they were hoping the people would be kind and id end with a new family.

Well i survived but not living happily. I escaped from the village two months ago and it is officially my third birthday and i want to help other left behind or discriminated against.

~ To be seen, Leaf
