Name: Micalo
Gender: Male
Personality: Wise yet quiet, doesn't talk much, but talks at the exact right moment.
History: "Momma," a young chick said, putting her small paws on the mother's legs. "Tell me the story of Micalo." The mother Corvus smiled.
"I've told you that story many times, you probably know it by heart now," the mother said. The chick looked up with pleading eyes, and the Corvus sighed. "Alright."
Long ago, there was a young Corvus, a little older than yourself," the mother started, lying down next to her chick. "His name was Micalo. He was brave and quick-witted, but he was also careless and did idiotic things. To impress his murder, he would jump off of high things, able to land on his paws easily. But as the higher the things he jumped off of got, the more dangerous were his jumps."
He decided one day to bring his friends and some other members of his murder to a large waterfall, where he said he'd jump off of. His friends advised him not too, saying there could be sharp rocks or shallow water at the bottom of the towering falls, but he didn't listen. He grinned at the other Corvus, and then leaped into the water, and as he reached the end, he felt the bottom for one split second, pushed off, and jumped down the waterfall."
By doing this, he felt the adrenaline, the thrill of the jump. But he also felt fear, thinking just now of what his friends had said. What if it was shallow water at the bottom and he hit his head? What if sharp rocks cut him into pieces? But it was too late, he had already jumped, and he was flying down at an alarming rate."
He had his nose down first, to gain speed, but now he pulled up and was pushed up by the wind and started to spin. He didn't know what to do, he didn't know if he would live. As he saw the steam and fog coming up from the water get closer, he closed his eyes." The mother Corvus paused.
"What happened next?" The chick asked, though he already knew. The mother smiled, and continued.
"When he finally woke up, he wasn't in the water. He was in the dark, at first he thought he was dead. But then he realized, he felt very cold, and heard the waterfall. His eyes adjusted to the darkness and he looked around. When he hit the water, he had manage to pull himself into a cave behind the waterfall in a daze. He got up, stiff and sore, and stepped out from behind the waterfall and was able to swim from under the waterfall to the riverbank."
He lay there, exhausted, and fell asleep again. His murder thought he was dead, but were surprised to see after a few days, the tired and worn Micalo make his way towards them. They didn't understand how he managed to survive the jump, but he did. Some said he might have flown just before he hit the water, and so they painted the wing markings on him, as well as the tribal markings on his legs."
The chick smiled. "Again, again!" The mother laughed.
"No, my dear, its time for bed," she said. The small Corvus snuggled up to his mother and fell asleep quickly, dreaming about Micalo flying around. The mother thought about Micalo, how it was said today, he resides near the waterfall he jumped off of long ago, in the cave behind the waterfall, where he climbs up to the top every morning and soars down to the bottom. Of course, no one knew if this was true or not. Only Micalo himself knew.
