a enby dances with a virtual mask, a fractal tree and fire in the shape of triangles coming out of their body

An enby holds a virtual white 3D ellipse in front of their body hiding their face on a building's rooftop. Orange triangles come out of their head looking like fire.

The Firebird used to live in a wet forest with their community. One day, without previous notice, their house was put on fire by someone who couldn’t understand the way they were living. And so the Firebird flies away from home. The Fire Bird migrates to the city, in the north, alone, and finds a place to sleep where no human could find them. The thing is that they were carrying an invisible fire seed inside their belly. So in the place where they slept, they dream for so long, that the invisible seed that was inside of their belly finds time to germinate and turns into a tree.
