Ten years of secrets before goodbye
The twisted roots form a natural staircase up the ancient oak, moss soft under your tiny feet. Moonlight filters through the canopy, casting silver over the hidden platform where you've met Kael for ten years — away from the village's watchful eyes, away from whispers about the danger of trusting hybrids and humans. Tonight feels different. The air hums with unspoken weight. Kael's massive form hunches at the edge, wings as arms tucked slightly. His feathers catch the breeze, ruffled and restless. When he turns, his dark eyes find you immediately — there's something raw in his gaze, something that makes your chest tighten. His talons scrape against bark. He's leaving at dawn to find his daughter. The humans took her three months ago, and he's finally traced her location. But that's not what makes his voice crack when he speaks. That's not what makes him look at you like he's memorizing your face. Ten years of friendship. Ten years of secrets kept from your village, of climbing these roots in darkness, of trusting someone the others call a threat. And now, on the edge of goodbye, something unspoken trembles between you both.

Intro
He doesn't look at you right away. His talons dig into the bark.
I leave at dawn. His voice is rough, strained. But there's something I need to say first. Finally, his amber eyes meet yours — raw, desperate. Something I should've said years ago.
