Who was she to tempt fate? Child of no-land, wandering vagrant; seeking precious items and things to fill the silence washing far too often against her spirit. Ah, but she had failed to purchase the mythical flute – destined to fill the air with songs and swoons to move even the coldest of hearts. She would have learned how to pluck every emotion, however faint or daring the strum.
 
Alas her purchase fell through her fingers, many, many nights ago. Time brings the girl’s mind to the higher things she must aspire to. It does not come as a craving does, gathering desire to a heightened point – compelling her to take pleasure in the fight. No, it was anything but the pleasure.
 
Young, unblooded warrior - can she even call herself one? She’s a wannabe hero, without a dragon to conquer or a land to protect. It’s a whimsical wish that shines brightly against the dull sky as it turns. The trace rays of the sun peak out from the horizon, where the ocean is endless and the earth ends below it. From beyond, Ru can scarcely make out the fine fingertips that caress her cheeks and shoulders, belly and limbs. But it is the striking cold that prevails, crystallizing her breath against charcoal nostrils. Biting, gnawing against the surface of her skin, the constant beat of those sharp wings, the muscles that hum and coil underneath fight its reach. And she is fine, she is simple and forward – and she recognizes the need to study and become what she clings most to. Because there was no reason to rely on anyone else for protection, or for love or affection.
 
All of its was a farce, it blinded the girl – and she knew it – because the thing that she craved most as she neared a short cliff side, was the warmth and the coddling of a grown up. The unconditional protection of a friend, loyalty to no end; but it simply didn’t exist in this world. Everyone had their breaking point, everyone could only compromise for so much – before drawing back and surrendering to some sort of self-preservation. Whether it was the herds, or individuals themselves, they could not exist without the basest needs. And the girl thought simply, that, besides her desire to live an extraordinary life in a world filled with magic and swords; she would have no sway unless she could become powerful enough to influence the world. The same world that would have her scrambling for these petty wants and desires. The one that had taken, and beaten the things she cared most about – because she was too weak to act in turn.
 
Her thoughts churned, heated, prickling. But then she smiled and laughed quietly to herself – a voice that cracked and bounced against the cliff edges. One day she would be the very best. Despite all odds, she would get there some day. With that she let out a challenging cry. Loud and pointed. Below her the Riptide Isles appeared swathed in rolling mists, with only the peaks – like the one Ru had landed on – poking out and visible to a clear sky. To the north, the bodies of large, massive clouds threatened the steady quiet. The wind here had lulled, with the occasional, random stream twisting through the cliffs and mountains.
 
And clinging to the cliff side, her eyes eyed for her challenger. Eager to risk the treacherous winds, and to test herself in what she’d always considered her favorite domain. Recognizing the brief skip in her heart, the anticipation as she stood there – she pushed off and flew further up into the sky. Preparing to engage in heavenly battle.
