Chapter 1
Husky walked back from the lake with a basket of fish, the sun slowly fell from the top of the sky, just past mid-day. Nana looked out the window and smiled.
"Husky's back!" she called. Senri looked up from peeling potatoes and Harden walked in from his shop.
"Husky," he said with a smile, "How'd fishing go?" Husky's stomach grumbled.
"I'm starving," he moaned. Margaret smiled and started getting some food together. Senri looked around.
"….Corro?" he whispered. Nana looked around too.
"Yea, where is he?" she thought then her eyes widened. "Darn him, I told him to bring your lunch a long time ago." Husky raised a brow.
"I haven't seen Corro since this morning when I left. Where's that kid gone off to now." He groaned. Margaret gave Husky a piece of bread and an apple.
"He'll be back, he'll just get hungry and come back." she said with a smile.
Earlier that same day
"Now Corro, remember, don't eat the food, it's for Husky." Nana instructed. Corro nodded eagerly.
"Yup!" he said with a smile. Nana handed him the basket of food. "Apples!" Corro said excitedly. Nana smacked Corro's hand.
"What did I just say?!" she yelled.
"Ow!" Nana rolled her eyes. Corro walked to the door and spread his wings, taking off. Margaret and Nana watched him fly away.
"Husky's never getting his lunch." Nana groaned turning and walking to the pile of clothes that needed mending.
Corro flew over the trees and stopped, something caught his eye. He stared intently at the trees. Something silver passed by again, shimmering in the sun.
"A +Anima?" Corro whispered. He had sensed the +Anima's present for a few days now, but now he actually saw it. He dove into the trees. The silver flashed again somewhere to the right. Corro flew to it.
The silver went by again. Silver wings? Corro thought as he got a better glimpse.
"Hey!" he called, "Wait!" the silver went by again. A face.
A girl?
"Hey!" Corro called. Suddenly, she stood in front of him. She looked to be his age.
She had short brown hair, dark blue eyes, and clothes similar to his; in fact, she looked a lot like him. However, her wings were silver, and she had no feathers on her arms, and no mark.
Instead, it was on her neck, though he didn't see it. And the feathers went down her neck and back. She cocked her head.
"Who are you?" she said, tilting her head the other way. Corro stared mesmerized at her sparkling blue eyes. They were like a sea at night, a calm sea with the stars reflection in it. He shook his head and rubbed the back of his neck with one hand. He held out his other hand.
"Hehe, sorry, I'm Corro, Crow Anima." He said with a smile. She smiled back and shook his hand.
"Tenshi, Falcon Anima," she said. For some reason the name rang a bell. "You look hungry, how bout you come back to my campsite and I can get you some food?" Corro's eyes lit up.
"Food!" he yelled. Tenshi laughed and flew through the trees.
"Come on, Crow." She called. Corro took off after her, laughing.
