I open my eyes and see darkness. I feel terrified, I start shivering. I try turning my head and I can't, I try to scream but nothing.

My heart races I start to freak out. I start thrashing about I move and I hit a wall then I hear a cracking noise. I see light it's very faint but I see it!

Grasping at what little hope I have I start to thrash around my current surroundings some more and the cracks in the walls split open some more. I peek through and I see branches and dried leaves all over.

"I'm having a lucid dream." I thought to myself.

I finally break through after a few minutes of struggle and what I see is astonishing! The trees are huge! and what looks like twigs and debris all around me.

I start to panic a bit, I look around my surroundings again and take it all in. The trees are huge but they are not only big but slightly purple-brown bark and the canopy is sparking.

My mouth opens at the sight of this huge tree and as I'm about to swear all I hear is a "chirp" come out my mouth.

I'm startled by the sound as I try to speak some more and all I hear is "chirp chirp chirp"

I close my eyes and open them again and I turn my head and look at where my hands are and I see Reddish, hairless, wrinkly, weirdly wet wings, I look down, and where my human feet are supposed to be are now bird 2 bird feet with 3 talons in the front and 1 in the back.

I look around me some more and I find 6 other eggs around me that haven't hatched.

I start to move, I walk around the nest replacing the fear I had I'm filled with wonder.

The leaves are green but have a tinge of purple and spark now and then.

I start to walk to one of the leaves to get a closer look and I suddenly see a shadow in the sky it screeches in the sky *Screech* it sounds a bit like a hawk cry but it also sounds like thunder rumbling.

The giant "hawk" lands on a branch next to the nest I turn my head to look at it and I'm filled with awe and terror.

It's huge It's reddish brown and has purple sparks coming off its plumage, Its beak is sleek it looks more gold-like and very sharp like a blade, its talons are similar to mine in appearance but it's pure purple with white dots and remind me of a sky filled with stars.

As I lift my head and look at this Magnificent bird head I'm filled with respect, love, and awe, It's a feeling that comes from my bones, my soul. Is this my mother? She looks amazing. I thought to myself.

I continue to examine Momma Bird and Its head is similar to a Hawk for sure but It has 5 eyes 2 on the right side,2 on the left, and one in the middle. The one in the middle has a violet-glowing pupil.

It turns to me and a very human expression of slight shock spreads across its face, giving me a shock. It suddenly flies off which leaves me baffled but I hear its shriek of joy at least it sounded like joy and before I can process what has happened she returns.

It suddenly appears before me and its shadows consume me. While it stares me down I start to shudder. Many thoughts like Does it know I have a human soul, Does it know I'm possibly not its child? many different thoughts wander in my head when I start to hear thunder sounds.

Momma bird's head starts to slightly bob up and down its head stretches up and then looks at me and it opens its beak and it regurgitates what I assume might be meat paste and leaves and places it before my feet.

It looks at me expectantly and my stomach growls with impatience. I look up at Momma Bird and see a very human face of expectation. I mentally sigh and look at the paste and I reinforce my determination so I start to peck at the food surprisingly it wasn't disgusting I mean It wasn't great tasting but I was prepared for an acidic taste. It's a bit tingly but more bland than I thought. Is the tingly sensation from the leaves?

I just eat and all of a sudden I hear a chuckle I quickly look up but Momma Bird looks at me with a confused look. I must be imagining things and I go to eat some more but then I hear a female voice speaking to me in my mind " Congratulations user You have activated the @#$%&# system. The only thought in my head was "HUH!?"
