    Enta was not an ordinary child. As a boy, he had an unparalleled love for birds, a fascination sparked by an extraordinary childhood event. Saved by a flock of birds from a poisoned apple, he felt divinely protected, much like Adam and Eve in the biblical narrative.

    As Enta matured, his neural fascinations morphed into a visceral passion for flight. He craved the freedom of the skies and couldn't help but daydream about exploring the limitless universe. He invested countless hours into crafting model spaceships, depicting his boundless aspiration.

    Despite multiple failed trials, Enta's fervor to sail through the air never waned. In fact, his determination only intensified. In his latest venture, however, disaster struck. Misfortune led him to being trapped underwater, with his shouts for help drowned in the ocean's depths.

    A shadowy figure dubbed "Little Guns" observed the trapped Enta from a distance. The man's black mask and peculiar shotgun marked his presence. Yet, he was deeply captivated by the boy's audacious ambition to defy gravity and escape the terrestrial confines.

    Without any hesitation, Little Guns pointed his shotgun at the boy and pulled the trigger. As he did so, the boy and his machinery fused together. Enta's transformation was like magic—his eyes turned into a glowing shade of purple, closely resembling nearby mechanical albatross.

    After the transformation, Enta discovered a new ability. He could now convert birds into mechanical aids with a mere touch. Their plumage transformed into shiny metal, their eyes glowed purple, and they enlisted as faithful allies in his grand quest.

    Little Guns bequeathed Enta with an intriguing power, "Curved Air." This magic could ensnare any adversary within his mind, establishing Enta's control over his destiny. Armed with newfound power and a loyal army, his journey was set to take off.

    At a bus station, Enta's touch sparked another transformation. Public buses morphed into bird-bus hybrids, their metallic bodies sprouting wings and engines pulsating like living hearts. These hybrids became an integral part of Enta's growing air fleet.

    Enta, henceforth known as the "Air Traffic Controller," steered his fleet with mastery. His ambition of flying was realized, and as he soared, he aspired even higher— he wished to leave Earth. Thus began an interstellar odyssey.

    On another planet far away, Enta, alongside his followers—now known as "The Sky Children"— settled down. The alien world became a new chapter in human history. He named their new abode "Enta Strid," marking a new era.

    "Once a boy yearning to fly, now a leader of an interstellar colony, my journey has been extraordinary," mused Enta. His transformation, in his eyes, was an evolution— he had become stronger, more adaptable, just like his mechanical birds.

    Enta proclaimed to his followers, "We'll adapt and flourish on this new planet. We'll chart the course for the generations to follow. This infinite sky will witness our continued evolution." His eyes, glowing purple, reflected their pioneering spirit.

    As dusk approached, Enta found an apple. Nostalgia swept over him, reminding him of his earthly roots. Embracing the echoes of his past, he bit into the apple. It was a symbol, not of the past, but of their promising start in the new cosmos.
