Part I

Once upon a time, there was a bird, and a bear.
They lived lived up north where the cold waters met the rocky beaches. They spent their days hunting and forraging; exploring the vast wilderness that was their home. One fateful day, the bird was roosting in a tall fir overlooking the bay. The clouds had come in over the bay and it was misting slightly. It was late afternoon, and the bird had been hungry all morning, so it set off for the bay, drifting aloft on the warm air currents.

Down on the shore, the young bear made his way across the rocks, taking care to not stumble upon the loose ones. The cub had never been to the waters edge before, and so, he sat down upon the rocks and stared out at the vast world beyond the shore. He could not see the way across, and wondered what might be on the other side. The bear pondered this as small drops of rain silently fell upon the bay, and then upon the rocks around him.

Far above, the bird roamed the skies, searching for schools of fish, which were proving difficult to find. With nothing to show for her efforts, the bird headed back to her perch in the cliffs overlooking the mouth of the bay. In her search for food, the bird hadn't noticed the weather which had been making its way up the coast. The heavy rain was upon her in an instant. Large gusts blew the bird this way and that, as she struggled to make it back to shore. As she neared the treeline, a strong gust blew her against a tall pine, and everything went black.
