How did Blue Jay Wally and Raven Wally meet?
This is just part one, I will write more if you guys like it.
‘abc’ whisper, soft voice
Sunlight streamed through as the gentle breeze made the treetops sway. The rustling leaves echoed like nature’s own music.
Raven Wally walked leisurely along the grassy path. On his shoulder, a tiny bird named Berry tilted its head, chirping cheerfully.
Raven smiled, lifting his face to the sky.
//Hmm… The sky is beautiful today, isn’t it, Berry? I think we should go a bit farther—who knows, we might find something intere—//
But before he could finish, a swirling portal suddenly appeared. Raven startled, stepping back, but before he could react, a powerful pull dragged both him and Berry inside.
His scream was swallowed by the portal.
Raven hit the hard ground. A sharp pain ran up his spine, forcing out a groan. Berry quickly flew in circles above him, chirping anxiously.
He pushed himself up, holding his head. //Ugh… that hurts. Berry…? Thank goodness, you’re still here.//
He glanced around. An unfamiliar landscape stretched before him, unlike any place he had seen.
//Wait… where is this!? Where am I!?//
Berry responded with hurried chirps, as if warning him to be cautious.
Just as Raven was about to step forward, a low, cold voice rang out behind him.
//Don’t move. Hands up. Not a step further.//
His body froze. A chill ran down his spine as he felt cold steel at his neck.
//Who are you to trespass on this land? State your purpose.//
Raven swallowed hard, his heart pounding wildly. He raised both hands in surrender.
//W-wait! Calm down! I-I mean no harm, I swear!//
The sharp gaze flickered, the voice still firm and wary.
//How can I believe you?//
At that tense moment, Berry darted forward, chirping furiously. The little bird swooped at the swordsman, pecking with its tiny beak.
//Chirp! Chirp chirp chirp!!!//
//Ouch! Damn bird, where did you come from!?// He grimaced, stepping back, trying to swat Berry away.
//Wait! Don’t hurt him!!//
Raven’s eyes widened in panic as he shouted, quickly shielding Berry with his body.
//It’s okay, Berry. I’m here to protect you.//
The man paused, staring at Raven for a long moment. He frowned, then slowly lowered his blade, his voice less hostile.
//…That bird belongs to you?//
Raven nodded slightly //Yes… he’s my friend. His name is Berry.//
The man fell silent for a few seconds, then sheathed his sword. Sunlight broke through the leaves, letting Raven see his face more clearly.
Out of nowhere, another bird similar to Berry appeared, landing neatly on the man’s shoulder. It tilted its head, bright eyes curiously watching Raven and Berry.
Berry froze mid-air, then cautiously flew closer. The new bird responded with a small flap.
Berry: Chirp chirp chirp!
??: Chirp chirp? Chirp chirp!
The two birds circled each other before landing on the ground, tilting their heads. Suddenly, the new bird tapped its wing gently against Berry’s.
Berry flinched slightly, but soon chirped back, as if agreeing to be friends.
//Oh, look at that. Seems Berry just made a new friend. Aren’t they getting along well?// He watched the two birds closely.
The man glanced over, his gaze softening.
//…My Cookie seems to like your Berry quite a lot.//
He stepped forward, still watchful but less tense. //What’s your name?//
//Huh!? Ah, I’m Wally Darling, also called Raven Wally—but you can call me Raven.//
The man froze for a moment, eyes widening in surprise.
//Raven… Wally?// He tilted his head slightly.
//Uh… is something wrong?//
//I am also Wally. Blue Jay Wally.//
//What!? So you’re another version of Wally too!?//
Blue Jay said nothing at first, studying him carefully before speaking.
//Perhaps… You do look similar to me. Just with a few differences and—// He looked Raven up and down.
//You’re some kind of raven, aren’t you?//
//Where did you come from?//
//Well… I remember just being in my world, then suddenly a portal appeared and pulled me and my friend here.// He pointed at Berry.
//And now I don’t know how to get back…//
Blue Jay remained silent. His eyes showed less suspicion now, replaced by curiosity.
//Alright. You don’t seem like a bad person. And… it’s rather interesting to meet someone who looks so much like me.//
Raven let out a small sigh of relief, the earlier tension easing away. Berry perched back on his shoulder, nuzzling him comfortingly. Cookie returned to Blue Jay’s side but kept its gaze fixed on Berry with fascination.
Turning away //Follow me. Since you’ve just arrived, this place isn’t safe for wanderers like you.//
//For now, you and that little bird can stay with me.//
Blinking in surprise //R-really? Won’t I be bothering you?//
//It’s fine. I live alone anyway. Having company isn’t so bad.//
“Wait… he lives alone? He must be lonely…”
//Hurry up. It’ll be dark soon.//
//Ha… You’re too slow.// He chuckled softly.
