Darwin&&Antaa

Got so much to lose, got so much to prove

God, don’t let me lose my mind.

Antaa was extremely excited at the idea of having friends – especially ones just like herself. And so far, the lonely trek that Darwin had found himself on was beginning to bother the fiery Zephyr. So she jumped at any chance she could get for the idea of someone to share her experience with. She offered Edgar another beaky smile, her feathers ruffling at the idea of being able to hunt with him. Though, fish was going to be a difficult thing for the bird at first. Water – especially that large amount of it – would prove difficult for Antaa to be able to dive right in and out of it without her flames vanishing. Though, for Elsa and Edgar, she’d try it. And as Elsa spoke, Edgar began to chirp angrily before looking to Antaa and taking off. Immediately, Antaa flew off with him.

Darwin’s gaze watched the companions with a small chuckle before they flew off with one another. Fire and ice, working together to accomplish a common goal. The thought was intriguing to him – polar opposites, yet the same. And as his river stone gaze landed on Elsa and she began to speak, he offered her a soft grin and a small chuckle. “I didn’t think I had a choice.” He winked with another chuckle. Then, as she began to speak of making the bowl – his eyes didn’t leave hers. Magic was something that fascinated him, and as the Icebound began to form the icy bowl, he seemed to stare in awe.

Then, she began to speak again he nodded offering her a genuine smile. “Of course Elsa. I’m sure Edgar would love the opportunity to wrangle Antaa’s emotions when he wakes her up.” He chuckled again. Though, while the Pegasus was curious why Elsa herself wouldn’t venture to the Falls, he stayed silent. Instead, he just watched as Elsa worked with the bowl and waited patiently as Antaa and Edgar worked on catching their fish.

The event went just about as well as Antaa could’ve expected. She hovered above the waves as Edgar dove beneath them and captured the fish. Though, Antaa was worried of doing such a thing. She watched in admiration and awe as Edgar captured his prey, and cooed to him in an almost excited lovingly tone. His chest puffed out after he had killed the creature and Antaa offered him another beaky smile. Then, it was her part and she found her orange gaze landing on the shadows beneath the waves. Nerves piqued in the phoenix and before she got cold feet, she spotted something and dove in. She captured a medium sized fish, gripping it with her sharp talons and as she went to pull herself up she began to struggle as her flames became engulfed. She had swam before, but never dove down completely, so this was new for her. And as she came to the surface with the fish still in her clutches, she used her now flameless wings to pull herself up onto Edgar’s boardwalk. As she pulled herself up onto it, she placed the fish on it and killed it as well, her chest puffing in and out heavily as she cooed a desperate thanks to him before shaking out the water in her feathers – doing her best to get her fire back.
