I am stalling. Oh, but what glorious stalling it is! The sky has called out its chorus of stars from wherever they practice during the daytime and they now twinkle in rhythm to a song our ears will never hear. Sometimes I wish that I could fly high enough to join them. But at least for this moment I feel content. I am up to my chest in a hot spring I found tucked away in a secluded spot on the Riptide Isles. It is a paradise! The isles are what I wish the Dragon's Throat was. If they were more alike I would have no complaints about returning.

The Riptide Isles are surrounded by water and dotted with it. It is as though they wish to blend into the sea and remain unnoticed. Before night slipped across the isles I spent the day frolicking from one source of water to another. Even the rain puddles here seem more interesting! I have the feathers of a bird but I believe my heart is more akin to that of a scaly fish.

The plants here are so different from any others that I have tasted and my stomach is filled with them. A few of my favorites rest within reach of where I stand in the steamy water. Reaching out to where a golden berry has rolled I lip it up and allow its bittersweet flavor to distance my thoughts of the Throat. Thankfully the night has hidden the isles and the herd land from each other making it all that much easier to forget.

Notes: It will get better from here!
