There was a goddess, Najy, who lived in the skies. After the last celestial war with the other deities of the sky, she was left with an ear injury. Najy loved music so much, especially those of the human species living just beneath. Now she could not hear far anymore. Each time she strains her ears to hear the songs of the human species she gets infuriated because it reminded her of her ordeal. Her anger leaves the entire sky blood red, blocking daylight as long as it lasted.

Santy was a young girl who loved and admired birds of prey. These noble birds, she felt, couldn’t be blamed for enjoying the taste of meat – after all, humans are also hunters? In the fields, Santy would leave scraps of meat on the ground for her feathered friends. She would also extend arms of help to them when they are in distress.

Najy has gotten angry again and this time it has lingered longer than usual. The only solution was to get a human sing closer to the sky so she could hear with ease and be happy again. No one but Santy was able. With the help of her feathered friends she was able to get lift to the skies, sang in her best of voices and calmed the nerves of the infuriated goddess. The red sky cleared and daylight returned.
