Of course. World doesn't matter. She lives here, and she lives in my world. And, she lives in all the worlds of people who have came here, even people who have not. In every world, there is open space between the stars and the clouds. And she, Garuda, claims all of it as her own. But Garuda endured hardship...

[When his head is hugged, he sort of smiles, and then raises a hand to lightly support the others back while she's on his shoulder. He knows she won't fall. Yet still, he's cautious.]

... In ages past, in a tiny country facing the Behheru bay, there was a young prince who dearly loved all kinds of birds. With a rather frail constitution, he was unable to venture outside for extended periods of time. Thus, he took pleasure in placing several birdhouses within the castle walls and coming to see some of the several birds that often took temporary residence within them.

In one of these birdhouses in particular was a tiny female bird whose feathers were the hue of glittering jade. The prince had taken it upon himself to raise this bird from when it was a a jade egg, naming it Garuda. Having had taken well to him, she was always found in his presence, either perching on his shoulders or flying by his side and sung to him which calmed his heart greatly.

One day, the young prince left the castle to go bird watching by himself. Like always, Garuda was resting her wings on his shoulders. It was in that moment when a viper lunged towards the two in a sudden, soundless attack.

The prince, who had barely noticed the attack, nudged off the viper with his arm, thus ensuring Garuda's safety; however, the young prince was bitten by the snake in Garuda's stead.

That night, the prince was nursed by the royal physicians within his chambers. It was the small bird Garuda who flew to the castle earlier that afternoon and alerted the vassals to where the prince's feeble and unconscious body laid.
