In a world,

Long before any one could remember there was a world that only had one species at the top of the food chain but then there came another and shared the planet with them.

One of the species were giants but were a mix of an animal like a female with cat ears and a tail while her sister would have a Dog's ears and a tail and so on every one of them had a different animal others had the same but acted completely different from one another, they were called zoohumagoloziansly but called damials for short.

The other species were small only about 4 or 5 inches tall compared to the animal people, they had their own special uniqueness they could heal abnormally quickly and could grow back missing limbs if needed they were called heaumaoogisous but nicknamed healers for short.

Centuries passed and war was close theses two species refused to live together and neither could remember who was first.

After much war two decided to make peace between them so they made a compromise.

Half of the Earth belong to one species the other half to the other species as it was split with a giant wall all around the world

...

And years would go by they hardly spoke to one another few did and that was only for business or small talk until

...

one of them from both sides became friends and eventually became something more.

The wall

The young boy didn't remember why he came to to the wall in the first place. But then again...

this is the wall that is separating two different species. The wall was older then he could have guessed and taller too around 6 feet he guessed, it was covered with long, green vines that covered some of the cracks in the wall. The light-green vines now, just beginning to sprout new purple and pink flower buds showing it was the beginning of spring.

He sighed and turned away, it's not like he's just going to leave from just staying here one minute. His house was a while away and doesn't get to come he often, the last time he was here it was about 4 years ago when he was around 8. He stopped coming because he knew he wouldn't get a chance to view past the wall until he was older and even now he can't view over it. Since there were rules forbidding him from going any closer to the wall.

The young boy looked for a way to kill time his grandmother wasn't expecting him to come home any time soon anyway. The young boy saw a large, towering tree that grew only a few feet away from the wall. The branches that were supposed to hang over the wall were cleanly cut while the others on the other side grew without care as the green leaves provided much shade. The blue eyed kid decided to climb it, he always liked being up high he was part bird anyway. Yes, he was a daminal having dark wings of a bird and his end tips of his hair near his neck slowly transitioning in to black feathers, matching his hair color.

Once he climbed and was on top of a high branch he dazed out into the world. The Danimal could have just flown on to a high branch but he knew as soon as he flaps his wings he's not going to stop. The blue eyed boy opened his wings a little letting the soft breeze move every single black feather, as it went through every feathering moving it just a little bit as he felt lighter and lighter with every passing second as his eyes drifted shut only focusing on the feeling, it was like a drug to him. Yet, he couldn't take flight just yet, he didn't want to waste his energy and he still needs to fly home and thats a while away. His eyes opened and viewed downward he was about 15 feet high, viewing from his left to right the entire horizon from as far as the eye could see. He viewed one side and could just make out a few small buildings in the distance from where he lives. The other side filled with trees, a small forest. Turning around he viewed from the Healers side little buildings but couldn't see any Healers themselves. He never seen one face to face before, only pictures in his history books at school.

'I wish I could see one up close' he thought.

It was the early afternoon and a soft breeze came by, the sun was blocked by the foliage of the leaves and branches, but just breaking though as rays dance on the branches and on the Daminal. The rays of sunlight breaking though and shinning on him made him feel warmer, his dark gray long sleeve shirt absorbing the light along with his faded midnight blue pants.

The young boy leaned against the tree trunk slouching, folding his wings so he could lean against the trunk more comfortable, softly drifting to sleep he wasn't scared of falling he slept in trees much higher before when he was younger and still occasionally does. As his eyes drifted shut and his mind slowly drifting he heard a cracking of a few branches from above him.

'Must be a bird or squirrel or something.' He thought instantly and drifted back asleep.

Until he heard a few more branches breaking and a fearful scream from a child as if falling. The dark haired boy then felt something hard hit and land on his face. His blue eyes burst open meeting a pair of small red eyes. He tried to jolt back but was already leaning against the tree trunk and ended up bumping his head against the trunk..

-?-

He was now sitting straight up, fully awake, his hands griping the branch he was sitting on with a new found fear of falling if he let go. while his heart was beating rapidly and mind raced to comprehend what was happening. After a few moments he remembered he had to breath he forgot how to for a moment then he realized he's been staring at the pair of bright red eyes on his face without blinking. The dark haired boy slowly relaxed a bit as he took in deep, calming breathes and blinked at the pair of eyes which now screamed fear and a bit of confusion.

A few more moments and neither did nothing but only stare, after what felt like an eternity the red eyed one squeaked "Uh..." He gulped, "..Hi." It came out as forced and his voice cracked slightly.

The other said nothing at first still trying to understand what happened and opened his mouth to speak only to realize the person on his face was sprawled out his arms spread over his nose, legs on top of his mouth and his head on the bump of his nose.

The Daminal pried one of his hands of the tree and slowly not to startle him reached a hand and picked up the person by grabbing him by the back of his shirt. The other immediately flinched, shut his eyes, and prepared himself for the worst only to be surprised as he was gently set back down on the same branch the daminal was sitting on. He peeked just one eye opened to only see the hand that picked him up was retreating back and onto the lap of the much taller boy in front of him.

"Hi. '' The black haired boy said at last sounding calm.

He finally saw what the other looked like he had short, red hair almost resembling the color of a plum, a pale face, thin, and he already knew what color his eyes were from staring at them so long, he appeared the same age as him. (He wore a red t-shirt and blue jeans.)

He ultimately realized the other was a healer. 'He was-' the boys thoughts were interrupted by the other.

"Uh...I-I'm R-Rin." The red head replied trying hard to keep it steady but obviously failing.

"...I'm Haru. "

-?-

More silence.

Haru looked up where the boy came from and wondered how he even made it that far up into the tree considering his hight and how he even got over the wall which separated their kind. Rin noticed the daminal's actions and connected the dots.

"I climbed up. " the red eyed boy answered the unasked question.

"But how did you get so high up?"

"I really like climbing." That was when Haru looked back down at him and noticed he was smiling. A genuine smile.

Again they said nothing for a moment.

"You're a Daminal aren't you?" Rin said stating it more then questioning it.

As Haru nodded the red head's smile only grew. "Cool! So what kind of animal are you mixed with? Is it a snake, or a wolf, or how bout a shark!" He never stopped smiling.

Haru slowly smiled at the other's enthusiasm and simply answered "With a hawk."

This was when Rin's smile disappeared and left a fearful look on his face. "L-Like...you eat things smaller than you?" His voice was now shaky and he took a few steps back but continued "like mice, and small birds, and Healers?" His voice cracking on the last part.

"N-NO." Haru said a little too forcefully, "I-We don't eat t-that stuff; we only eat fish. I'm mixed with a Osprey, we don't eat that stuff, only fish. " his voice sounding a little desperate as he tried to explain.

He had a chance to make a new friend and didn't want to mess it up 'Well we don't usually eat that stuff just not healers' he thought but quickly stopped the voice in his head.

Of course it was true they do only eat fish but when there is none they will settle for hares, smaller birds and such but almost no Daminals have ever wanted or have ate healers before many found it to be cannabalistic but, then those fearful made up rumors which was one of the reasons Healers and Daminals don't talk often. Haru was so caught up trying to explain he didn't realize he was leaning more and more forward toward the small Healer. Making him take a few more steps back and slowly put his hands up innocently.

The Danimal quickly leaned back ashamed of what he did "S-Sorry."

He quickly looked away avoiding the others gaze.

"I-it's ok."

More silence

"Sooo what's it like to fly?" Rin spoke trying to break the silence again.

And with that Haru could only smile at that question.
