Part 1
From the perspective of Sparrow
Sparrow was drenched and she couldn't remember why. All she could remember from the past month was the raft that had carried her out to sea, and the aching hunger that always seemed to linger in the pit of her stomach. Sparrow slowly opened her eyes. The bright blue sky was spinning and blurring. She tried to get up, and stumbled, landing on a patch of black fur that grunted at her. It wiggled and Sparrow fell off of it. She stood up again and this time was able to see the island in which she had landed on. It was bigger then any island Sparrow had ever seen! Tree's dotted the area, perfect for gathering from and nesting in. There seemed to be a cliff which rose up from a small patch of savanna.
Suddenly the other nichelings head shot up. He hissed at sparrow. "Um... Hi?" Sparrow said. The creature relaxed. "Oh it's just you." He said. Suddenly, as Sparrow was looking over the other creature, she remembered his name. "Crow! I thought I was the only winged creature that got away!" Sparrow threw her wings around Crow, gleeful that her winged friend was alive. "Do you think the others survived? Kakoo, Chirp, and Finch?" Sparrow asked enthusiastically. Crow flew to the top of a palm tree and tried picked up a shell that was nearby.
"I don't know... maybe they washed up somewhere else on the island?" Crow said hopefully. "Lets go into the grasses and try to find them!" Sparrow exclaimed. She flew down the beach , heading over to a yellow savanna port, where she guessed one of the others might be. Crow pecked half heartedly at the shell one more time and then followed her along the beach. They layed down in the sand and fell asleep in minutes.
When Sparrow awoke the next day, some fish were just under the waves, teasing her. Sparrow wished she could jump down and grab them to get a meal, but if she did she would drown. Sparrow stared at the fish sadly, her stomach screaming at her to just jump into the water and grab them. Crow had woken up well Sparrow was looking at the fish. He spotted them and immediately jumped under the waves to catch them. Sparrow watched in horror. Was Crow trying to drown him self!?
Then a giant red fish came up and started sniffing at Crow. It's sharp teeth were an inch away from his neck, when Sparrow lashed out at it. The fish swam lower in the wave's and continued to sniff Crow. This time, Sparrow couldn't swipe at it again without drowning, so she just fluttered to the other side of him and anxiously watched him, hoping with all her heart he wouldn't drown.
