Kirai, The Messenger of Earth

Adapted and altered from my homeland culture in Minangkabau, there's a superordinary people called Bunian. They are the messenger of nature who has sign of animal on their body and can traveling through time and space. Born as a human changeling, their anchestor will take them at a very young age. So they won't remember their life as a human.
Based on “Tambo Minangkabau” (Folklore of Minangkabau), it has been told that in the past the king has five Bunian daughters in the form of five kind of animals. And they possessed the power to guard the nature, also as the messenger. Unfortunately, this information were passed by only from mouth-to-mouth storytelling from one to another generation. And some information are limited only for several people, carved into some visual codes on their house wood wall (The Rumah Gadang).
