~Australia (Rain / Yerk) ~
You're a newborn Grey-headed flying fox (foxwing) named Rain. You have the typical dark colored fur of your kind though the fur around your neck is white instead of reddish brown and your eyes are blue instead of black. You are a seer among your kind, being able to see clues about future events in your dreams.
You awoke to the sounds of the colony stirring in the trees where they had stopped to roost at the night before. You flew with some of the other newborns to a tall tree baring ripe fruit. You loved the feeling of flying the way the wind felt on your face and the feelings of joy and freedom you felt when flying. You angled your wings and went to land in a fruit tree besides another newborn named Yerk. Yerk is your best friend and one of the few bats that treat you like just another member of the colony and not like a seer.
"Hey Yerk, find any good fruit today?"(You)
"Yeah and It's about time you got here Rain, I've been waiting here since sundown."(Yerk)
The night air was cool and humid and the sounds of night animals reached the two of you from the ground with a light wind blowing. You and Yerk settled in the lightly swaying branches of the tree and ate together in companionable silence.
"So Yerk I heard your brother Meech mated this year with Rose." (You)
"Yeah and their expecting there first newborn come next spring."(Yerk)
"They must be excited; I think Meech will be a good father and Rose can always keep him in line if not. Hey Yerk, are you worried? I mean the humans keep cutting down more trees everyday and they keep getting closer to our feeding grounds. What if they cut down all the trees and we can't find anymore food?"(You)
"Calm down Rain if anything bad like that was going to happen anytime soon you would know about it, after all you are a seer. So relax the worlds not going to end because the humans are cutting down a few trees."(Yerk)
"You're right. Thank you for calming me down, I'm glad you're my friend."(You)
"Yeah, me too."(Yerk)
With that you both left the fruit tree and flew side by side back to the trees where the colony was roosting as the first rays of the sun showed over the treetops. The two of you found roosts in the branches of the trees among the rest of your colony. You and Yerk split up so that you could each roost with your mothers. You flew over and hung on the branch next to your mother snuggling into her soft fur. You where calmed by her familiar scent and her calming presence causing you to drift off to sleep as the suns rays stretched over your jungle home.
Dream: You where flying through the jungle with the stars blazing above you and the ground below hidden by thick fog. You heard wing strokes behind you but when you turned your head you saw nothing but fog. You started to notice that there was no sound not even the sound of your own wing strokes reached your ears. Then you found yourself in a large clearing in the jungle with the human's machines laying still on the forest floor and a voice coming from all around you in the thick fog. "A journey must begin. Five will leave their roost, three will return. A forest in flames, a jungle stripped bare. Five bats from far and wide. Fight to save all of bat kind. Hear well and remember these words young seer and trust the strength of your wings and fly far and wide to find the seeker with eyes like the moon. Go now young seer time to start your journey and save our kind."(?) Dream End.
You woke with a start and almost lost your grip on the branch. Breathing heavily you looked around at the familiar faces of your best friend and mother wondering about how you would ever be able to leave them, you where just a newborn not even a year old.
