A Fictional Story on a Fictional Character

Once upon a time, in a world that is just like ours, and yet very different than our own. In the midst of world war, a brave family of pigeons decided to send their only child in a raft, into the sea, towards safety from the war. The child was found and taken in by a family of owls in a southern part of land that we refer to as "India". 
Multiple years following, the pigeon slowly became new family to the owls. They had their fair share of stories that mentored the citizens of what they called "Owslovia". Books were published by their findings and their lessons to be learned but for some unfortunate reason the pigeon slowly became more and more dissatisfied with the situation. The pigeon had started reading scrolls from the Grand Owslovian Library about magical places far away that promised fortune and happiness in wealth. The pigeon researched scrolls and learned what he could from the nomads passing through. His final decision was to travel East for three days until he reached the sea. Then from there he would construct a wooden vessel to sail southwards for a happy land called "Indonesia". But on the day of the pigeons departure from the village, came an event he would never forget.
An excerpt from Pigeon's Diary;

"Dear Diary, 

Today is a day, neither I or Jerangᴔ shall ever forget! Just as the teacher, Mr. Gonzly suspected, the hammer gang came into town this morning to collect unseen bank dues. They were outraged with the village's insignificant amount of Dollaras. They had set the village downtown into flames while taking owls young and old to the forest, where they'd either be murdered, or tied up and left to die. I snook out the village's sanctuary and that's where my friend Jerangᴔ had stopped me. He had asked for where I was going, and I lied to him....I told him that I was going towards the Temples......"

The Pigeon had prepared a vessel of transportation prior to current events solely for the lone possibility he would need it in an emergency. The small guy was able to rig the vessel all by himself. The pigeon had set sail into the stormy sea....
