Feng

At the break of dawn, when the sky burnt red like fire, the child of Fei and Fang was born. She was named Feng, after the mythical fire bird that soars through the skies, becoming the sun that brings forth the light of day. Like her mother, Feng was wild, fierce, and independent. There was no telling what mischief she would get herself into the moment her parents took their eyes off her. Once, she was dragged back home by the village authorities for beating up a group of boys who teased her a little too much. Despite her temperament, Feng also had a much softer side. She would spend hours alone playing in the forest. Even as a child, Feng already had a connection with nature other humans could only dream to have. Animals seem to gather around the child as if she was a part of them, and the plants around her seemed to glow, as if calling out to her. There are times when Fei and Fang would find their daughter silently staring into the horizon. They knew that their baby girl would one day grow up and leave to find her own path.
