How to Heal Battle Scars

This story involves two boys, a homophobic Head, a peace treaty organization, a best friend, a wolf pup, a mysterious bird, and a dead sister.
It is adorable and sometimes depressing.

I sound like Lemony Snicket right now. I should stop.

Warning: There will be potentially triggering content. There will also be two boys who fall in love. If either of these things bother you, I suggest finding a different story to read.

Knock knock, it's a bird.
