Premise

[edit]

Ever since Ravena's breakaway from Avian, Mulawin and Ravena have been at war, fighting against each other over humans. Both have had histories of love affairs with humans, which resulted to half-blood offspring. The dilution of their race has made Mulawins and Ravenas mortal like humans. The desire for immortality leads to the next chapter of the Mulawin-Ravena war.[3]
