 『A long time ago, there lived a man with a blood of gold.

His blood had the power to protect the lives of this land. 

He lived by the blue Vishen River and died in the Vishen River.
Yes, the Vishen River flowing in front of the town.

Legends say, the blood of gold still remains in the water, the Vishen River still producing gold. 』

When Zelle woke up, she was above a perch. 

 

She just woke up yet she was starving. 

It was a strange hunger.
It was a hunger that was stronger and more animalistic than normal hunger.
And that feeling was very unpleasant. 

Zelle raised her brows. 

‘How long have I been asleep? No, how long have I lost consciousness?’

Her last memories were when she was dragged somewhere and thrown to the floor, blindfolded. 

But the situation seemingly got better. 

She was in a place where green fields unfolded in front of her eyes and fresh air flowed beside her…. 

Am I in prison?!

Zelle widened her eyes. 

She was trapped behind iron bars. 

No wonder.
Where would a princess captured by the enemy stay? She would be imprisoned if not killed.

But a prison in the outdoors seemed way too strange.  

To find out where she was, she glared outside the bars. 

She had no idea where it was.
But it seemed like a forest. 

‘Which forest is this?’

Forests were everywhere so she couldn’t tell exactly where and which one she was in. 

‘Ah, please.
Don’t be somewhere outside our border.
It will be difficult for the allies to rescue me then.’

Anyway, guessing by how clear her eyesight was, her eyesight must have gotten better while she lost her consciousness. 

She could even see every single leaf swaying far, far away. 

Wow. 

Just as she was mesmerized, her legs wavered. 

Huh?

When she finally got her balance back, she realized where she was sleeping on. 

Her feet were huddled on a thin stick-like thing. 

Eh?

She was so surprised at the fact that she fell asleep on this thing and started rubbing her eyes. 

No, she tried to rub her eyes. 

But she had no hands to rub.

‘Eh…..?’

There was a…..wing instead of a hand. 

‘…….!!!!’

Surprised was not enough to describe how she felt. 

Zelle was so frightened that she fell off the perch. 

She instinctively tried to regain her balance but only flappings could be heard. 

Plat. 

She fell on the floor.
She couldn’t do anything even after she fell. 

No.
This is a dream.
It’s a dream right? It would make more sense if I was dead.

What….are these wings…..?

Zelle tried to wake from the dream. 

She tried to slap herself but it was impossible with these wings,

So she decided to bite the wings. 

‘Ahhhh!!!’

It was very painful.

Zelle teared up and felt her mouth. 

Unbelievable.
Instead of teeth…

There was a beak. 

Heeeeeeck!!

Zelle was surprised again and started fluttering.
Two feathers fell and floated around in the bird cage. 

‘No.’

Zelle struggled inside the small bird cage. 

‘A bird.
Am I dead?’

If she was dead, it was already depressing enough that she did not have a peaceful death but becoming a bird was even more depressing. 

Wait. 

A bird? Then this prison…

Zelle looked around slowly from the floor to the ceiling.

The iron bars she believed was a prison were….

A bird cage. 

Zelle screamed.

“Gweeckckckk–!!!!”

A strange scream echoed from her throat. 

What is this? What is this beastly noise?

Zelle tried to speak the language of the people. 

“Gwechhhk–”

Argh!!!!!

Zelle screamed again .

“Gguwackekk–!!!!”

and lost her consciousness. 

 

II.
The Bird and the Human

Zelle woke up because she was thirsty. 

As soon as she woke up she rushed towards the water in the dirty container. 

She tried gulping the water but none of the water entered her mouth. 

Only her hard beak tapped on the bottom of the container. 

She was already in the worst mood she could be in because of the hunger but now she was about to die because of the burning thirst.
And she was about to go crazy because now that she didn’t even know how to drink water. 

She had no time to sulk about her being a bird anymore. 

Zelle made every effort to remember how birds drank water. 

I have to live.
I have to live. 

….Dang.
Did my brain become a bird’s too now that I became a bird?

She couldn’t remember. 

Zelle took her chances and opened her beak and used the bottom part of the beak to scoop up the water.
Then she set her head upright. 

Was this how they did it? 

She tried to imitate it.
She shook her head up and down to send the water down her throat. 

Ooh, it’s working.

Her mind got
