The life of Sadako.

Her life isn't exactly a happy story, yet not a sad one where somebody goes on a rampage and kills everyone. No, Sadako was a normal kid growing up with the Zenzawas. Then she turned seven. It was that birthday that changed her life.

She walked in the woods, enjoying the lovely day, when a sparrow landed on her shoulder. "Eiji!" She said, smiling at the small speckled bird. "Saydi!" It cried as she had taught it to.
"Lovely day, isn't it?" Sadako said, gazing up at the clear blue sky. The bird on her shoulder trilled a happy song as a answer.

Then the oddest thing happened.

The sky began to fill with birds, all of them heading toward Sadako. Puzzled, she watched them land all about her. There were sea birds, land birds, water fowl.... of every shape and size there was a bird. Then, from the middle of them stepped a woman dressed in feathers.
"Sadako..." She whispered with a voice like a goddess' voice along with chorus of birds swept gracefully over the wind the be carried to the ears of a mere mortal, filling them with awe.
"I am Tori, the BirdWoman." She whispered again, drifting closer while her feet didn't even touch the ground.

"Uh, um..." Sadako stumbled over words, "P- Pleasure to meet you, Tori...." She finally managed with a bow.
"No need to bow, daughter of mine." Tori said with a laugh that further stunned Sadako as she straightened.
"Daughter....?" Sadako inquired
"Yes. You are my daughter."
"What?! I think you must be mistaken, I am Mrs. Zenzawa's daughter..."
Tori laughed again, "With thousands of eyes and ears about me, you think I am mistaken?" Great tawny wings unfolded themselves from her back, shaking slightly with laugher before re-furling themselves.
"Uh, I guess not...." Sadako said quietly, though she still didn't believe this Tori.
"Child, I gave you to the Zenzawas when you were just an infant. You are my child."

Sadako was still in shock, and it took her awhile to process the words. "But.... But..."
"But nothing. Seek me out when you believe it is time for you to learn about who you truely are. You will know when it is time."

And with that Tori was surrounded by feathers, whipped about on an unfelt breeze, leaving Sadako alone with her sparrow.

"Saydi!" It chirped.

UPDATE;

Sadako has been bitten by Evangeline, thereby making her a vampire.


That is all.
