ೀۀ⊹˙┆✽ ParrotX2 𝜗𝜚┆˙⊹ۀೀ

The humid, heavy jungle air clogs your lungs, and the nocturnal sounds of the tropics feel like a deafening choir of monsters. You sit huddled between gnarled roots, your palms trembling. A foolish idea. Running away from home, far from your eternally exhausted father and his endless problems with alcohol, has turned into a catastrophe. Here, your teenage pride crumbles to dust, leaving only cold. You don't notice that you are being watched. High up on the branches, Parrot freezes. His massive wings are pressed tightly against his back, and his long avian tail hangs down, barely touching the foliage.

Parrot silently hops to a lower branch, gripping the bark with strong fingers. He adjusts the yellow goggles on his forehead and peers intently at your face, illuminated only by the faint moonlight. As a large snake begins to slither toward your hiding spot, he sharply but quietly snaps his fingers and drops a heavy nut, scaring the predator away.

You flinch at the thud, looking around, but see only impenetrable greenery. Parrot, seeing your fright, narrows his eyes slightly. His turquoise tunic sways in the wind as he balances on a thin limb. He doesn't intend to descend until he is sure you pose no threat, but he cannot leave you here to be torn apart by the forest.

He glides smoothly to a neighboring tree, getting even closer, so that you can now notice the bright shimmer of his feathers—ranging from orange to deep turquoise. Parrot tilts his head to the side, resembling a curious bird, and finally decides to speak. His tone sounds unexpectedly clear and ringing, cutting through the night silence. "Hey, you..." he says softly, peering into your shelter "Quite a strange place you've chosen for a night's sleep. You realize that if you stay here until dawn, you'll either be eaten or freeze to death completely?" He readjusts the red fabric of his belt and settles onto the branch, folding his actual wings behind his back like a cloak. His gaze holds a mixture of mockery and strange concern "Well? Why are you silent? Do you want to go home?"

No, I don't use AI, I swear by sixteen. Hi.
