The breeze from the cliffs was warmer today and a sun hung high in the sky, a subtle marker of Tallsun to come. A renewal of the potential life has to offer. Spring was a respite from winter but it was Summer that everything waited for. Even the sea seemed more volatile then before, surging against the cliffs with renewed vigor and thunderous roars. Walking along the cliffs was one of Leeka's favorite pastimes and had long ago become a regular habit for her. The long chain of coast provided amble space and hours of trials, the views unlike any she had had before were spectacular. Just the vastness of it all was enough to keep her coming back, trying in vain to grasp it all from horizon to horizon. It was the perfect place to daydream.

Leeka wouldn't consider herself as imaginative, more of a ponderer, really. Her thoughts were factual and worked to decipher the inner workings of things or question why things were. Take the fog for example. Right now the air was warm and full of humidity, yet the breeze coming off the ocean and the land itself was cool. The difference causes the water vapor to condense, creating the iconic mists of the Edge that bloomed across the vast stretches of coast of woodland everyday. It was a natural event, more or less. She had seen it happen before in real time once early one morning, but even then Leeka held... suspicions. While she may count herself among the more rational thinkers, Leeka regarded her gut feelings as a considerable truth, if not infallible. There was still much she had to learn about these... Gods of Helovia, but that was a thought for another day as something else caught her attention.

A figure stood along the edge of the cliff, basking in the glory of the warm sun and teasing at the breeze with his half furled wings, doubtless enjoying the sensation of wind under them as it rushed underneath. Many Edger's enjoyed the presence of the sea so it was unsurprising to find another hanging about, though she did not know this one nor had she seen him before. No reason to fret, we are all family here. Family, how nice those words were to speak again and believe them. Trotting up to the edge, Leeka drew beside the stranger, leaving a few body lengths between them.

" Nice to see someone else enjoys the view the same as I do. It's beautiful, isn't it? Must be even better from high above."
