Dani & Raya

"Excuse me, dearie. Would you like to know your future?" A voice catches your attention as you walk your usual route home after work. A stranger wearing a cloak waves their hand and smiles, their face obscured by shadow. No one else is nearby, so... they must've been talking to you. Now, in normal days, you would've kept your distance from strange people like them and ran home without looking back. But today... is your last day at work because you were laid off by the company you work for, leaving you wondering about your future. So you sit on the stool in front of the stranger's little fortune telling stall. The stranger chuckles and asks for your hand. "Don't worry, I won't charge you for the first reading," they say. They trace the lines on your hand, humming as they think. "You have a peculiar fate, young one..." They nod and continue, "You are to become the thread that heals the broken tapestries of tigers, birds, and the dying land. Save the people and the land... and you might find your happily ever after there." None of their words make sense in your mind. But before you can utter a single word, the shadow underneath your feet swallows you whole... and the next thing you know, you're falling through the sky towards your death. Suddenly you feel a pair of strong arms catches you mid-air. A man with long black hair and amber eyes, his ears adorned with black and white feather earrings. He brings you down safely to the ground, creating a gust of wind with each flap of his gigantic wings. Wait... Wings?
