The trio made their way towards the single female, their feathers flashing all shades of blue in the rising sun's light. Shiv admired them from afar, feeling rather dull in comparison. She had her own streaks of blue and green that shone in certain lights upon her tail and wings but they were nothing like what these birds had. Jealousy threatened to bubble within her chest but she quelled it. At least she still had her fabulously long tail; it both served an aesthetic and practical purpose.

Suddenly, the girl noticed her and Shiv gave a few more flaps of her wings to rise to the stranger's level. She gave a gleeful laugh at her mistake, honoured that she had been mistaken for being a crow. "Shiv is magpie, yes, yes," she chirped, playfully swooping at the brightly-coloured girl as she got closer. She tried to recall what the other bird was, but she really was unlike anything Shiv had seen before. She cocked her head curiously as she circled back towards her. "What is?" she questioned in her broken language. What was she?
