The face is flush with determination, the eyes narrowed to slits and the muzzle quivering with concentration; the colt flares his wings and wobbles them for a moment, remembering everything he's learned. He can do this. He can do this. Aerial domination awaits.

The early evening air is warm against his taut flesh, and a gentle breeze ruffles the bottlebrush tufts of his mane and tail. He does a practice beat of his wings, just to ensure they're both in full working order, then breaks into a gangly-legged gallop. He beats his feathery appendages, throws himself into the air....and he flies. The wind billows against his face as he manages to hold himself airborne for a precious few seconds, before the frantic pumping of his wings exhausts him, and he's forced to drift gently back to earth. But it's a start. It's better than his first attempt, which landed him in the sea by the Dragon's Throat and almost condemned his short life to a salty grave. Improvement will come with age and practice, but for now the colt is satisfied.

On stilt-like limbs, he wobbles towards the shade of a tree and flops beneath it. The day has been hot and humid, and Arakh is very sweaty from his exertions. He spreads each wing in turn and begins to painstakingly groom it, ensuring each feather is perfectly placed and neat. His ears spin around just above the nubs of his bull-horns, searching for any potential threat - Mother has warned him that there's creatures who would try to prey upon little boys like him, and he'd hate to die already. So he stays alert, his sense of hearing not daring to fail him even whilst his sight is occupied with the grooming of his wings.

THE REAVER


@Ampere Hope it's okay I went ahead and made it! :D
