She raced the dawn, or perhaps brought the dawn, was the dawn - none could know and she certainly wouldn't say. The new day drifted in the lilt of her luxurious tail feathers, stretched gradually across the realm of Helovia. Its brightening edge was like a sword that cleaved through the darkness, and her tail was its hilt. Each plume reached so long it seemed to extend into eternity; impossibly golden, rich in red, and so vibrantly orange she gleamed as she flew. She burned too, her tail and wing tips like streamers engulfed in fire and flame that burned, but never fell into the gray ruin of ash and charcoal.

She was fire.

A beady red eye tilted in the defined curved of her small head - she'd caught her reflection in the expanse of the Flats, the thin layer of salt and water returning the breathless image of her flight in such a way that even she was stunned. Her beak clicked in an avian smile of pleasure, while her chest expanded with pride and confidence that drew her flames into a flaring wave of exaltation. Gracefully she swooped around, spinning from the sky in a tightening circle, and it seemed as if a tornado of fire had descended upon the Flats.

The dawn continued on, but it was not any clearer if she was its carrier or not - perhaps she was one of many.

Settling on a small, round stone near the southwestern edge of the Sun's newest realm, the phoenix sat and set about preening herself. In the wake of her landing her tail fell around her in a wreath of fire, unhindered by the layer of moisture that covered the cracked terrain.
