The Birdie Man
Chapter One
Leaving home
Prince Komali couldn't help but feel sick as he packed his bag. He couldn't believe he was already leaving, he didn't even know how to fly yet! But everything had already been planned, and he didn't want to upset his dad.
Komali was just tying up his bag when his dad, the Rito chieftain, walked in. Komali stood up and bowed, and his dad bowed back.
"are you ready?" he asked. Komali looked down.
"Yes dad" He nodded to his bag. His dad pointed to something on the bed.
"You won't want to forget that!" he said. Prince Komali's eyes widened as he ran over to grab it.
It was Din's pearl, given to him by his grandmother who had just recently passed away. Komali never let it out of his sight, it was the last reminder he had of her! He couldn't believe he had almost forgotten it.
His dad kneeled down beside him as he hugged the giant pearl. "Are you scared?" he asked. Komali nodded. "Well, don't worry about it, I'm sure that the people of Windfall won't mind you being a Rito. They don't seem to mind Quill, and he flies there everyday to deliver mail."
"But why can't I just stay home? I don't need to go to school!" Komali whined. The Rito tribe was going to send him to Windfall Island to go to school, but he just wanted to stay home.
"It's only for a few months, and Quill will drop by to see you once in awhile. Don't worry, you'll be fine!
He led Prince Komali outside to the beach, where Quill was waiting to take him away I a boat since he couldn't fly yet. The rest of the tribe was waiting to see him off. Komali put his stuff in the boat, and turned to his dad.
"Bye…" he said quietly. His dad smiled.
"Goodbye, my son." He said as he lifted the young Rito into the boat.
Two Ritos helped push the boat off shore, and Quill undid the sail. As they sailed off into the ocean headed towards Windfall, Komali looked back to see the Ritos all waving and shouting good bye and good luck, and he wondered if he would ever fit in with humans.
The day long trip was quiet; Komali and Quill didn't say much to each other. Not much happened except for Quill having to outmaneuver an attacking shark. Komali sat with Din's pearl in his lap, trying to think of life at Windfall. No matter how much he tried to think of something good, bad thoughts filled his mind; people laughing at him, being avoided, some kids stealing Din's Pearl… And as they reached Windfall in the evening, his head was so full of bad thoughts that he couldn't get out of the boat.
Quill lifted him out, and they started walking around the island. Windfall was pretty small, and most of it was covered in shops and houses. There were wild pigs running around being chased by little kids, and people running errands filled the streets. A big lighthouse towered above their heads, making Komali feel very small.
As the two Ritos walked through the streets, Komali could feel all eyes on him. People weren't used to having two bird people walking around their town. Or at least not him, Quill was there everyday.
Quill led him into a large house that was filled with lots of pictures and photos. There was a rather large man standing behind a desk, fiddling with a camera, one of many that surrounded the desk. As Quill neared the desk, the man looked up.
"Oh, hello Quill, what can I do for you?" the man asked. Quill let go of Komali's hand, and Komali hid behind him.
"Lenzo, I brought the prince, you volunteered to have him for a few months, remember?" The man scratched his beard.
"Ahh, yes, I did. Well," he looked around. "Uh… where is he?" Quill ushered Komali out from behind him. Komali looked up at Lenzo. Lenzo put down the camera, and looked down at Komali.
"Hello there." He said, giving an extremely big smile that creeped him out. Quill put his hand on Komali's shoulder.
"Say hi," he mumbled. Komali stayed silent. Lenzo cleared his throat.
"Well, you don't have to worry quill, I'll take good care of him." He said. Quill nodded.
"I'm sure you will. Now, he has to go to school tomorrow I presume?"
"Yes, there's school tomorrow." Lenzo said. Quill nodded.
"Make sure he doesn't get into trouble…" He let go of Komali's shoulder. "I have to get back to Dragon Roost now, the mail won't deliver itself!"
"Bye!" Lenzo said, smiling. Quill waved at Komali, and left. The room was silent for a few seconds, and then Lenzo cleared his throat again.
"So, Prince Komali, I guess you're gonna be here awhile, so lets go find you somewhere to sleep!" He walked up the stairs. Komali waited a few seconds, wishing he was back at home, and then ran up after him.
The upstairs was a lot cleaner then the downstairs, there were still pictures on the walls, but they were in frames. There were some boxes in the corner, but other then that there wasn't much else in the room. Lenzo walked over to the boxes, and opened one.
"Hmm… where can I find some blankets…?" He closed the box and opened another. Komali looked at some of the pictures while he was waiting. There were pics of all over the place, Windfall, The Forbidden Fortress, and even of Dragon Roost! There were others of monsters and people, but Komali didn't know who they were.
"Ah! Here we go…" Lenzo said as he pulled out a box from the pile and emptied it onto the floor. There were two or three blankets, a little worn but still good, and a few pillows. Lenzo looked to Komali.
"You know how you like your bed, so I'll let you do it, and you can sleep anywhere up here…" He looked around. "I barely come up here, so I guess you can call it your room… and yeah… Goodnight…" His voice trailed off as he went back downstairs. Komali looked at the pile, and then went to a corner of the room and put his bag on the floor.
Komali managed to make some sort of bed in the corner in a few minutes, and used the boxes to make small walls around him. He rested Din's Pearl on a blanket to keep it from rolling away. He blew out the lantern, and curled up in the blankets, trying to fall asleep in this strange new place…
