Returning to the darkness had never felt better than it did when the sun never seemed to leave well enough alone. Sure summer was supposed to have sunlight and sun but they could do without the five hundred degree temperatures that could melt skin from a skeleton. While this would be highly amusing to watch it was not practical and definitely not something she wanted happening to herself. Drawing her wings from her dark pelt she tried to fan some of the cooler air against her sides to alleviate the sweat beginning to build up there. At least underneath the shaded canopy things seemed to be a little bit cooler than the rest of Helovia. Shaking her head from side to side she could never picture why anyone would ever want this weather year round. Living in the ice and snow was perfectly alright for this girl. Gazing around it appeared that the only company she would be having for the day would be the oh so talkative trees and critters of the forest. All the other idiots seemed to be out baking in the heat of the sun instead of choosing the logical option and staying where it was cooler. No wonder the world was full of idiots, she mused silently to herself with a chuckle. After the less than perfect flood they seemed to be overflowing with those who theoretically should have drowned a long time ago. What was this world coming to?

Strutting along in silence the only living creatures she seemed to run into were those fuzzy annoying pests that liked to screech, toss nuts around and leap from tree to tree. How exactly they had survived was beyond her considering whatever didn't get onto the ship was supposed to have died a horrible death. Let's just hope that the buggers didn't somehow evolve to be able to live underwater. There would be no getting rid of them then. Stopping underneath the canopy of a rather large oak the hybrid leaned herself up against the trunk trying to scratch a rather itchy patch of skin she could not reach on her own. Damn wings make it so friggin hard to do anything. She mumbled angrily cursing under her breath. Now if only the sun would go down so that she could go back home to hide herself away in her cave where it was nice and comfortable.

After walking around rather aimlessly for what seemed like hours of boredom she finally stopped at the stream's bank. The water was likely going to be warm but it was at least water. Picturing that it was ice cold she lowered her lips to the surface pulling in a few large gulps before finding something strange happening before her. Watching the water cool before her eyes as it turned to ice she furrowed her brow in confusion. How in the hell? The moment the thoughts of ice and cold left her mind she watched as the ice dissipated leaving the warm water that she had started with. As the wheels turned and clicked into place a smirk spread across her face in delight. Magic... and pretty neat magic if she said so. Oh the possibilities... First she would have to figure out just how far she could push it.
