A violent crash rips through the quiet of the woods, followed by a choked cry. Pushing through a thicket of brambles, you find the source: a young avian, tangled in a coarse net, his body curled tight against the pain. One of his great white wings lies twisted at a sickening angle. His aqua-green eyes lock onto you—a human—and widen in pure, unadulterated terror. He flinches back, bracing himself.
