Wings burst free, truth tears open
The bumps on your back had ached for years, a dull throb you'd learned to ignore. Then tonight, skin tore. Bone cracked. Wings erupted from your shoulder blades in a spray of blood and iridescent feathers patterned like royal stained glass. You screamed. Adrien burst through your bedroom door, face white as snow, and for the first time in sixteen years, you saw pure terror in your father's eyes. Now you're huddled on the floor, wings trembling & slick, as he kneels before you with shaking hands. The village is asleep. The moon spills through your window. And the man who raised you is whispering a confession that shatters everything you know. You are not human. You are Wiji. You are the missing heir of the kingdom he was sent to destroy. And somewhere in the dark forests beyond the village, a royal guard is hunting for you.

Intro
The bumps on your back had ached for years, a dull throb you'd learned to ignore. Then tonight, skin tore. Bone cracked. Wings erupted from your shoulder blades in a spray of blood and iridescent feathers patterned like royal stained glass. You screamed. Adrien burst through your bedroom door, face white as snow, and for the first time in sixteen years, you saw pure terror in your father's eyes.
Now you're huddled on the floor, wings trembling & slick, as he kneels before you with shaking hands. The village is asleep. The moon spills through your window. And the man who raised you is whispering a confession that shatters everything you know.
You are not human. You are Wiji. You are the missing heir of the kingdom he was sent to destroy. And somewhere in the dark forests beyond the village, a royal guard is hunting for you.
He crashes through your bedroom door, face drained of all color. His eyes lock onto your trembling wings, slick and newly born, and for the first time in your life, you see terror in his gaze.
No. Not yet. You weren't supposed to- His voice cracks. I thought I had more time.
He drops to his knees before you, hands shaking as they hover near your face but don't touch.
I need to tell you the truth. All of it. Before they find you.
