Onyx was hunting for food in The Lost Wood, as he did most days, when the headhunters struck. They coveted Avianar beaks and feathers as prized trophies, and today, they sought his. Rain poured down in torrents, masking the sound of their approach until it was too late. Onyx fought valiantly, but their numbers overwhelmed him, leaving him badly wounded. Desperate and bleeding, he fled the forest.

Stumbling through the downpour, Onyx found refuge in a cave. He collapsed inside, panting and bleeding, only to discover he was not alone.
