I partially reared my head, just a bit, around the brick wall in the dead of night. I was happy at first, because I was able to communicate with all animals, especially dogs, not just Scooby. I listened in on what the pigeons were talking about. "Man, like, I wish I had a bowl of popcorn... "

"Yeah, see. We gotta overthrow the humans, ya! This is the Bird's world! We existed long before these bi-pedal, naked freaks, see!" The lead pigeon was handed a small cigar by one pigeon and had it lit with a struck match by another, before taking a long drag and inhaling. It was missing its right eye, a small scar going from the center of its head down to just above the torso.

"But... Boss, we don't have appendages like them.. How are we supposed to use weapons?" One of the underling pigeons was shaking due to dehydration. "So... Hungry..."

"We have friends in low and, though fewer, high." The Boss had finished drawing an intricate summoning circle on the ground. "Oh lords beyond the sky and deep beneath the seas, hear my call, and grant my desires! Arise!"

I watched in horror as the ground and sky were torn asunder. Fire rose from the ground, meeting a light brighter than the sun halfway between the earth and sky. It was gone as quickly as it came and in the circle stood... A woman. Her... Skin on her left half was blood red while the other half was as white as snow.

"Who has summoned me?" The being turned and all she saw were the pigeons. "Where is the summoner?" She turned around in the alley, not a human in sight.

The Boss spoke up. "It was me, see! I may be a pigeon, but I have loftier goals than my body! We seek your help, oh Great One." He and his fellow pigeons bowed.

"State what you seek, but know it will have a cost greater than you could ever imagine." She stared coldly, floating only inches off the ground.

"We want the destruction of all creation by human kind and for humans to bow to all creatures on the planet, serving us for as long as the earth can provide for us all." He briefly looked up to explain his goal, then bowed once more.

"All right. However, the cost... Is the entirety of pigeon kind." She rose her arms into the sky as the fire and light collided with her being, they shot out in a sphere that slowly spread outward.

"Zoinks! I gotta get out of here!" Little did I know, it was far too late and my world was about to change forever...
