[mm hold on okay going over to a chair and sitting down. this could be a long explanation.]
So every few hundred years, Ho-oh dies and leaves an egg behind. That's its new incarnation. The Ho-oh that lived in Ecruteak before me - he's older than the city, so when he was "born" there wasn't anyone around to see. All the monks had to go on when he died were some things he'd told them, and none of them were very helpful. So I came out of the egg - human - and nobody knows if that's a bad thing or if it's supposed to happen or what.
The Ho-oh before me - my previous incarnation - sort of...stuck around? I can talk to him when I'm asleep or meditating, and I think it's supposed to be so I can learn how to do...Ho-oh things from him, but he's not easy to get along with. From some things I managed to wrestle out of him, I am almost completely certain that I will turn into an actual bird Ho-oh at some point in my life for some reason.
