Age 10
"Alright children, follow the headmaster. Dont dally now!" The stablemaster Byrn calls out to the small class of children. All of which were only 10 or 11. "Now, now, theres no need to be so strict, it's a very important day for the children." Headmaster Awoll replies, walking at a slow pace so the children can keep up. "Where are we going papa?" A young girl calls out to the headmaster, tugging at this robe. "Were going to go see the baby birds, so that you all make choose one as your companion child." He ends his brief explanation with a loving smile. Distant chirping of young chicks can be heard as they approach the back of the stables. "Now, be choosy with your birds, because they will be choosy with you. The bond between you and these birds are lifelong, unbreakable bonds." The children scatter about the pen of white chicks the size of the kids. The children run and play chasing the chicks and each other. The headmaster simply smiles at the acts of the kids. However someone was very peculiar, the little girl just say there in the middle of the pen, as one of the chicks with a deformed leg, hobbled up to her. Both the headmaster and the stablemaster observes the sight in awe, as the girl simply raised her hand and pet him on the head. The chick rubbing against her hand to return the affection. "Something is different about those two." The stablemaster whispers to Awoll. "This is something we should pay attention too, I will inform the staff. But for now, let's enjoy this special occasion."
