(Here we are! I hope this isn't too small of a starting! Let me know if you have any questions! He's currently at one of the coasts near the Great Valley, in the Mysterious Beyond.) @RainbowFaceProtege @ImpracticalDino @SilverWesternDrago

OOC Thread



The earth grew hot and heavy, the sun stretching its long reach across the open, cloudless sky, the sea lapping against the sandy shore like a sloppy wet kiss. There, upon a sun bleached rock, settled a lone flyer. His head lifted to the sky listlessly, eyes screwed tightly shut as he took in the cool, salty breeze. For just a moment, he wondered if he heard his name being called from behind, off toward the forest, but he was far too busy to call back. He had a fish to catch...

Without a moment to waste, the scrawny pterosaur stood on all fours and leered over the edge of his sunbathing rock. He hadn't spotted any movement below the water's edge in some time, and his belly was starting to rumble. Perhaps it was time to stir the pot! With a little chuff, he clacked his beak, fluffed up his feathers, and leapt off into the air, pushing himself into the sky.

Up, up he flew, until suddenly his beak bent down, and he darted toward the ocean below him.

Ker-PLOOSH. He had disappeared beneath the waves.

There, in the murky blue water, he wavered a moment, his wings being used like fins to push him about toward the smaller fish flittering away from him. He wasn't fast, nor was he graceful, but with a few sloppy chomps the flyer had secured a premature arapaima. Without another thought, he rushed toward the surface.

His crest was the first thing to break it, splashing about frantically as he nearly sucked the fish down his throat straight into his lungs. He coughed and sputtered, spitting it out, before catching it again in the air and cackling to himself.

"Ruse caught you~ Now Ruse eats you!" He proceeds to gobble down the fish whole, before carefully paddling toward his rock to dry off.

High above the landscape, a feathered windrider coasted on the breeze further up in the atmosphere. Although she wasn't a "flyer" in the typical sense, her skills in gliding were certainly enough to compete with their kind. Savoring the air rushing through the lime green feathers atop her head, she'd ridden a thermal to such a high altitude that spotting her from the ground would be a challenge for all but the sharpest eyes. The mostly sky blue coloring of her plumage certainly wouldn't help, either.

She gazed at the scenery spread out below her and saw waves licking the sand, ripples of foam rolling in and out with them. The Big Water certainly was awe-inspiring on a day like this. It had been a while since she'd taken a moment to see it up close. On a whim, she decided to take a brief detour from her journey. Yes, it was true that her family was waiting for her at Windrider Valley. Undoubtably, they would spend a lot of time sighing about what took so long, not to mention how they didn't get visits from her enough ever since she left home to settle in the Great Valley with Guido.

But they would just have to forgive her, Zephyr thought. And they would, she added to herself with a knowing smirk. They always did. They knew she was a free spirit, after all.

With a gleam of wanderlust in her eyes, Zephyr began coasting downwards, towards the sunlit sand and sparkling waters below.
