It's nightime. Rain is falling, with that constant noise that caracterize heavy rain. There are big, dense clouds in the sky. No thunder. Yet.

Arianwyn is in her room, looking at her fireplace. She's wearing her pajamas and is getting ready to sleep. Suddenly, she feels something. She looks out the window.

"What a weird bird..." Says Arianwyn to herself.

The bird isn't there anymore. Arianwyn, surprised, blinks her eyes, before hearing a tapping sound.

Thunder crashes. Arianwyn can't move.

The bird flies to her and perches on her shoulder...
