Tarn
Melodious Nocturne
(Melody)
Tarn, being among the largest creatures in the known world, cast a great shadow over the trees below. Massive wings pumped occasionally to provide lift, but for the most part, he was able to ride air currents whenever they were available thanks to a specific organ that produced and stored large amounts of helium.
Glowing eyes stole a stare at the Hydrokuhna that insisted on joining him on this outing. He never spent much time with the kuhnas, and he was beginning to regret it if they were all so interesting as this one, for he had never seen one so capable in the skies-able to turn on a pinhead, and one so..exhuberant. It was as though she were constantly love-striken, though without the devotion and obsession, and as though her spirit were as free and wild as she was with her almost irradic flying.
Melody, as the others came to call her, hummed gleefully to herself as she turned a loop-de-loop around the Garagnir's trailing tail, smiling and laughing to herself as she alighted gently on the appendage and crept up to roost on his head, between all of the spikes. Tarn crossed his eyes and looked up to her, shining dim beams of light in her direction.
"Good day, miss Melody. You seem to be in quite the good mood." He looked back to where he was flying, curiosity building at a precarious clearing in the dense forest.
"Wonderful! Today's such a beautiful day..the clouds are smiling and giving us their hellos, and the birds are singing, like they were welcoming us!" She rolled onto her side, staring at one of the sturdy horns jutting from either temple carefully. "Wouldn't it be something if the phoenix bird lived here? Maybe it would let us help it raise the sun tomorrow..you know, they say that the Phoenix bird's song is the most beautiful, and it haralds the rising sun.~"
Tarn chuckled and tilted to one side, dipping towards the ground to work in wide circles to the ground. "I am sure the Phoenix would be glad to have someone so jubilous as you sing with it. If what you say is true, though, then we would have to travel to the far east, where the sun rises first."
