Telling a Magical Story Through Clay: The Blooming Rite

In a magical realm, life begins not with a cry, but with a bloom.
Animals are born from flowers, their eggs cradled in the glowing stamens of sacred buds. Each birth comes at a cost: the mother offers her life, and the Queen Flower absorbs her spirit, passing her final energy into the newborn. This sacred cycle, known as The Blooming Rite, has continued for generations.
Until one day, a silver bird was born unlike any before. The earth trembled as he emerged, a strange spirit clinging to his back. The cycle was broken, and destiny had shifted.
This is the beginning of a new myth...
