I don't want to set the world on fire,</style>


The day begins to grow hot.

A pale form lolls beneath the shade of a lone palm tree, idly watching whales breaking the horizon. Wings itch with the urge to meet these gigantic creatures, to stroke their mighty heads. Their distant song reaches the shore with strange melodies, echoing through the barren beach with a tone as brassy and majestic as the creatures that sing them. The sand proves to be a worthy cushion to deal with such a divine weight, soft and cool, pleasing to recline upon. Israfel nibbles on a rather sad stalk of beach-grass, vermilion eyes intent on the antics of the aquatic mammals. It is brittle and briny on her tongue, but she likes the fishy taste of it, how she has to chew for the longest time before it disintegrates. It lasts long enough in her mouth, so she does not have to keep grasping for more. Anyways, she never really liked the dry cliff-grasses of the Edge; they are too soft and too bitter - she much prefers mother's milk, but those days are long gone. Childhood is swiftly leaving the young demigoddess, and the only fitting way to begin a new era would be to crown herself with a quest from her father, new magic. Amulet, zephyr feather, ruby from the Deep Forest. Absently, pink lips stroke a cool red facet nestled between two alabaster limbs, its color reflecting on her colorless hairs in bloody light. Where would she find the zephyr, or the amulet? They are rare things, mother said when Israfel asked her. Moodily, she slaps her (already) long tail on the sand, sending the tiny grains in a salty spray.

Israfel won't go actively looking for anything today, though; the growing demigoddess is busy watching whales. She needs whatever peace she can find - who knows what the future holds for her.

"Talk talk talk."
