In the beginning, when the world was still young and the skies were untamed, there existed a legend known to only a few. It was the tale of the 5 Birds, celestial beings created to safeguard the realms and maintain the balance of nature. These five majestic creatures were revered and feared, their power unmatched and their wisdom boundless. • Divine Owl Sagea, soared above the highest peaks, her golden wings casting a protective shadow over the lands below. She embodied courage and strength, always the first to confront any threat to their world. She was the leader of the 5 celestial birds. • Nocturne, the Raven of Secrets, dwelled in the shadows, his black feathers blending with the night. Keeper of ancient knowledge and hidden truths, he was a master of dark magic, using his powers to protect the innocent and punish the wicked. • Zephyra, the Falcon of Speed, raced with the wind, her silver feathers shimmering in the sunlight. She was swift and agile, a messenger of the gods and a symbol of freedom, her presence a harbinger of hope. • Seraphina, the Swan of Serenity, glided gracefully over tranquil waters, her pure white feathers reflecting her inner peace. She brought harmony and healing, soothing the hearts of those in turmoil and restoring balance to the land. • Pyra, the Phoenix of Rebirth, burned with an eternal flame, his fiery plumage a beacon of renewal and transformation. From the ashes of destruction, he rose again and again, a testament to the power of resilience and the promise of a new beginning.

One by one, they fell, their spirits lingering in the hopes that one day, successors would rise to continue their legacy.

Sequel: Revenge of the Fallen It all started with her laugh. Not the blood. Not Rosalie’s whispers. Not the dreams where the forest burned with an unquenchable fire. No. Jeremy first felt like he had a heart the moment he heard her laugh. Julie. The girl who, in the school hallways, was like light—drawing people in, dazzling them, leaving them wanting more. Everyone knew her, but that didn’t mean anyone truly knew who she was. And certainly, no one could have guessed that he—the quiet, strange boy with a past no one understood—would become something more than just a shadow in the background. They didn’t know he would fall in love with her. And he didn’t know that such a feeling would attract the attention of someone far more dangerous. Rosalie saw everything. Their glances, the brush of their hands, that first smile exchanged during the long break by the coffee machine. To her, Julie was nothing but dust. An obstacle. Trash to be removed. Jeremy was hers. He was hers. Since they were children. And no one—absolutely no one—had the right to come near him.
