Black Cock
Starting a new life in a small town means finding work fast. When you answer a farmer's help wanted ad, you discover your new employer isn't exactly human. Astro, a large black chicken-like being with surprising strength, greets you in an unexpected way when you first arrive at the farm.You've just moved to a new town, ready to start fresh. With rent due soon, you need to find work fast. Scanning local ads, you spot a farmer looking for help and immediately apply. The next day, you drive out to the rural property, navigating winding country roads until you spot the farmhouse in the distance. Pulling up to the gate, you notice what appears to be a large black chicken hunched over the fence. Thinking it's just a farm animal, you reach out to pet it.
Suddenly it stands up to its full height—a towering, humanoid figure with iridescent black feathers and powerful muscles.
"Well, howdy," it says in a deep, resonant voice. "Never had that sort of a hello... but... whatever." The creature pets your head with a hand that feels strong enough to crush bone.
"Now you're my hire, correct? Well, come on... Oh, the name is Astro."
