Chapter 1
It's the morning. Callum and Rayla are sleeping beside each other next to the fireplace. Ezran wakes up and makes his way outside and runs into Opeli.
"Morning, King Ezran."
"Good Morning, Opeli."
"Any word from-" Callum approaches from behind and interrupts. Yawning, he says, "Morning, Ez."
"Morning, Callum."
"Are Soren and Corvus back yet?"
"I was just going to ask Opeli."
"Oh... Well? Are they back yet, Opeli?"
"No, Prince Callum. No word from them yet. But we need patience. Finding... one single bird in the far stretches of Xadia is going take time..." She replies.
"We understand", Ezran says.
-----
"Do you really think it's possible to find one bird in this never-ending place?" asks Soren, being the curious person he is.
"We'll have to try. It's very important to Ezran and Callum and the whole kingdom that we find him", answers Corvus. "Besides we have an animal expert with us. Right, Terry?"
"That's right! I'll help you!" answers Terry, joyfully.
Corvus looks at the picture of Pip well, the bird that King Harrow is in and asks "So, do you know where these type of birds live?"
"I might have an idea. Let me take a look again." He puts on his glasses on and says, "It's a Xadian Songbird. I believe these birds live very close to the mountains."
"So...?"
"We'll have to go there! Just a bit more further. But with the help of our dragon friend here, it should be easy, right?
"Yeah, I guess. Let's go."

"They're very cute." says Janai.
Miyana smiles and says "If only Karim-"
"Don't even say his name. He suffered his fate, the fate he deserves."
"Yes." Miyana takes the babies back.
Amaya puts her hand on Janai's shoulder to comfort her and Janai smiles in response.
-----
"I have to say, you will never fail to amuse me with your baking. These tarts are absolutely delicious!" Rayla says with joy.
"Oh well, thank you." Barius replies.
Callum smiles at her and says, "Well, I guess humans will always love elves' desserts and-"
"And elves will always love humans' desserts. Got it." Rayla says, a smirk in her face.
