As the first rays of dawn broke over the horizon, their golden glow fell upon a peculiar scene on the ground: two sims standing above the carcass of a large dragon.

Huddled together, father and daughter were gazing down on the beast lying lifeless at their feet. The sword in the girl's hand, still dripping with blood, gleamed in the morning light. Miraculously, Annika and Gabriel Blackbird had survived their encounter with the Great feral wyvern. Both were alive, albeit not entirely unscathed.

Annika looked up at her dad and tears began to well in her eyes. Gabriel had taken the brunt of the fight, keeping a protection spell around the two of them for the whole duration of it; he might have forgotten to account for himself at one point.

They stood like that for a few more moments. When Annika finally broke the silence, her voice was barely more than a shaky whisper: "Dad... Let's go home."

Two years ago I saw this blackbird with leucism and last year the bird was nowhere to be seen, but this year he is back. And since he was very busy foraging for food I think he has chicks to feed. I have no clue where the nest is, but I would really like to see the fledglings this year to find out whether they have leucism as well.

This baby wants you to root for them. And also that you leave them alone.

The first sighting of a blackbird means that spring is surely close.
