In the early days of Man, or perhaps even before them, Mother Songbird descended from the Glory with the Old Wyrm, her male counterpart and lover. Their couplings brought forth new gods for the fledgling mankind and Mother Songbird cared for them with all her love, even those that would come to be scorned by others. Even those that would refuse her care. Even those that would do her harm.
The Crime of the Sky is a fundamental fact of the universe, much like the existence of a Glory and the existence of a Nowhere. But Mother Songbird could resist found a way around it. With every child she bore unto the affects of itworld her body would die in the process. But from her own body, she would rise again, having been crafted by the Glory rebirthed anew to mimic aspects of it. She is birdlike. She is of Grailcare for her child. But despite thiseach time, every child weakened hershe was weaker.
Father Wyrm was subject the hunger inflicted upon immortals, but he resisted it. Mother Songbird hid the child away, and Father Wyrm gnawed his own tail for years at a time, until he had finally grown accustomed to the hunger. Enough to ignore it. This routine happened whenever they had a child.
