The Man with the Head of a Bird / The Bird with the Head of a Man

The man with the head of a bird and the bird with the head of a man came into existence simultaneously in a large nest made of golden sticks. The nest was high at the top of a long dead tree, high at the top of a long extinct volcano. Beside them in the nest was a note on thin parchment which simply read HEAD TO THE SEA, SPEAK TO THE ONE WEARING TUSKS. This seemed like as good a plan as any, so they set off immediately towards the distant sound of the ocean and the promise of an unknown, tusked being.
