Parrot was a child, a boy with hair the color of walnut's shell and wings of a parot, form wich his parents name him after. Boy lived in Zam's kingdom. His father worked as a guard in the palace, man was build like a brick, had a slight beard, boy's mother was a smart and kindhearted woman, wich learnd Parrot a lot of things. They were lovely people who wanted the best for the boy, and most inportant of all, they loved him, they loved him more than anything in the world. Boy also had two good friedns, Wifes and Theo, only if his wings werent... broken in a sens. They didnt develop as they should, at the speed they should, Parrot coudnt realy fly with them, glide at best, his parents use to tell him that he was just developing slower, that they will grow strong enoght for him to be able to fly... but Parrot was ten, other kids could fly way before the age of seven and boy was still stuck on the ground.It bother him very much, it would propadly more if he didnt have Wifes at his side, boy coundnt fly too, but
It was warm summer evenying when it all went downhill, there were no sight... all started from no were, only weard thing in the morning was the unnatural amount of crows aroud the city. Now there were chaos everywere, somone attacked the kingdom, guards screamed, two people, one a clown, another a piglin, who broke into the castle and were buring down the city. It felt unreal, today morning Parrot was runned around the lanes trying to get to his house as fast as posible... but no, fire got there first. To be fair, boy he didn't have much chance of getting there before fire anyway, the part of the city where brown hair lived was the first one to cach fire.
Parrot runned into his home withod hesatation, desperatly serching for his parents, for his mother, she had to be somwere here right? right..? Boy covered his mouth with his scarf and runned deaper into the house. Finaly after what felt like a forever boy found his mother traped under fallen debris.
Brown haired froze for a second, his eyes widen, then, he run up to his mom trying to pick up desks that fallen from the celing, but he wasnt strong enought. Then his mother coughted lightly and shifted her's head to look at the boy.
-Parrot dear, what are you doing here? - her voice was as sweat as always when she was talking to her only child.
-i will take you out of here... promise - Parrot continue to push the debris
-oh dear... - she turned his head towards her, cubbing boy's cheek - its dangerouse here, you need to run away
-I'll get you out of here first - he grabed his mom hand with intend to pull it away but she held his cheek too tightly for that
-Parrot, run for your father, he is in the castle... - she started couthing
-Mom i wont leave you here
woman's hand fell from boy's cheek
-mom?
but the woman didnt respond
Parrot at first stared at the body, his hands frozen on her sholders not knowing what to do. Then he felt somting... cold on his cheeks, it took him a good while to realise that he was crying. After that he realise that he coudnt stay here, not if he wanted to meet the same fate as his mom. His hand lower to woman's wing, he traced it with his fingers for a moment then he riped one of the flight feathers, it was a beautyfull long blue feather. He was going to keep it, as somting to remind him of his mother. After that his body was moving on auto pilot, he runned out of his house on his way out grabing some photo of his familly on his way out.
He went to the palace, his father worked there, he needed to know if he was still alive. Boy was hoping for the best. He arived there after ten minutes, normaly it would take him around twenty minutes to get there. Weardly enough there were no guards by the entrence. Wich was even more weard looking at that that right now ruling king was always very paranoid about anyone going into the palace and assasinating him. Wich was understandable looking at the fact that last king was asasinated,to be honest Parrot never liked the king. Boy thought that man was selfish and was doing stupid decitions. When he entered the palace and looked around boy understood why there werent any guards by the door.. on the ground were laying bodes of at least five guards. All of them were laying by ther's wepons, they were slayed by that clown and piglin guy.
On the corridors' floors were laying bodes of guards, wich made Parrot feel weard sence of uneasyness. But hey! at least none of them looked like his father. Althought that didnt realy make Parrot feel better, he could be laying somewere else right? Boy pick up his gaze form the blood stain foor, focusing on the slit open door in the front of him from, from behind wich were coming out screams, just like three people were aruging there, none of them sounded like his dad but boy was too curious to ignore that. He stick his head throught the gap in the door.
What he saw inside stuned him. There was pink haired piglin and black clown and the king. King looked eather paniked or desperate or angry, somting betwen thouse three, or mabe all of them at the same time? Wich was a complite oposide to two... assasins? Intruders? Parrot didnt know how to call those two.
-Zam, its the end, give up - said the pinkhaired, tilting a sword in his hand
-give up? ha ha... ha ha ha! - blond haired monarh started laugthing uncontrolably - i am not as week as my father to die from hands of two assasins!
-man, we killed all of your guards, there is no one to help you - said clown - we could just slid your neck
King was brething hardly as he picked up his gaze and looked at two intruders
-my allay wont let this slight!
and then Parrot acidentali pushed the door wich made a loud squicking soud bringing atention of everone in the room. Fuck, that wasnt good, they were going to kill him too now. Boy saw the clown turning to him and fixing his grip on the sword. Parrot fell to the ground and started runing away almost imidialy. He silently hoped that miraculesly he would be able to get away, that no one from that room started chasing him. He was runing like that until he wasnt under the city gate, then he went onto some cart, it definitly wasnt from Zam's kingdom but Parrot didnt care. He curl into a ball on its back and hoped that wont fall off.
He looked at the city one last time, hoping that his firends were safe. Boy knew that he isnt coming back here in near future if at all.
