It was always the same dream for the past three years. I was falling, the wind harshly whipped at me as I fell, the sky was a dark gray signalling a harsh storm. My dark haired flew everywhere, my vision blurred. I vaguely felt a wetness near my abdomen and a figure falling above me, reaching for me. I cannot see enough detail to what that person wore or what their face looked like. All I see we're hints of gold and red on a dark color. I see the person reaching for me in...desperation? Yes, it was. I cannot fathom as of why though. I hardly know the person and vice versa.

~*~*~*~*~*~

As that person grew closer and closer a white light entered my vision. And I woke up.

The first thing I saw was the red high ceiling of my room. Blinking a few times I slowly sat up and rubbed my eyes.

Exhaling I slipped out of my bed and proceeded to do my morning routines.

After that I walked in to my kitchen and grabbed an apple. I'm not yet hungry for breakfast quite yet.

Everything was serene and quiet with exception on the sounds of animal and plant life. Living in a temple in the mountains of Hong Kong was expected. But I was not far away from civilization either.

After eating and discarding the apple core I returned to my room. I tied my waist length ebony hair loosely and wore my hooded coat. But before I pulled the hood up I noticed my eyes on the mirrors surface. There were a unique color, being mostly yellow with hints of purple and blue. My Iris and pupil we're slits.

Pushing away thoughts that were pushing to the forefront of my mind I placed my hood up before returning to the kitchen and grabbing my bag, slinging it over my shoulder.

I have a lot to do today and I need to get the herbs I needed to do so. Guan asked of me to make him a batch ointments and medicine for wounds.

So with that in mind I left my home and and gave a sharp whistle. It took about a few minutes until a large shadow loomed over be but I was not afraid in the least.

Soon enough my companion landed, her large talons dug into the earth. Feng was a large bird with majestic plumage that glows brightly emitting red, orange and yellow light, like a bonfire that is just past the turbulent flame.

Her eyes looked down on me before she cooed and rubbed her head on my person as I hugged her back.

"Hello Feng. Will you accompany me in my search for the herbs I need?" I asked her kindly and was rewarded by a coo as a reply before Feng bent her head low enough for me to get on her back.

We were in the air in no time and flew above the cloud s from having prying see us. It will be no surprise in an airplane and it's passenger saw us.

Relaxing on Feng's soft feathers I laid down, it was still a while until we reach our destination. Until then I was left in peaceful bliss.
