One day the god Propane was mixing acids and bases 
just for kicks when an eagle flew into his laboratory. 
Propane thought it would be really cool to combine his blood
with that of the eagle to see what would happen if he 
dropped the mixture in acid. With one drop there was a huge
explosion, the entire Realms shook. When the smoke cleared,
Propane noticed a small feathery humanoid creature crying in 
the corner. Then before his eyes the creature started to 
transform into a mighty avian with a taste for blood.  
Devouring the remaining blood mixture, the Avian became very 
fertile.  Mating with the human race, the avian gave birth to
many more creatures.  The creatures were born humanoid, but
slowly transformed into war birds.  (please note that NO 
animals were harmed in the making of this story :P)
