Worlde Arcane: Aerie: Mountains Ethereal

The Mountains Ethereal are home to the Aeros. Here is where one may find their rulers and the center of their small civilization.

Among the many caves in the mountains can also be found the Jade Oracle.

Aerin rises from her weyr and makes her way to the nearest opening, her eyes drinking in the worlde around her as if for the first time. She had not meant to oversleep, but the rest had done wonders for her weary mind and she could now face the day with fresh concentration.

From her pack, she draws a roll of parchment and lays it open across a nearby stump, studying the lines carefully. Placing a large rock on the map so that the wind could not claim it as a prize, she flutters upward and lights in an open tree branch, gazing down into the forest, town, and surrounding areas.

"New growth...", she whispers to herself before gliding back down to her sketch. Patiently, she carefully adds a few notes and minute sketches where buildings have cropped up in her absence.

She replaces the map in with its sisters and glances back at the town below with a raised eyebrow before smirking and ascending into the clouds.

Aerin lands with a soft patter in the wild grass which dots the slope, her left knee dipping to the earth as it always does, her wings fluttering forward as far as they can stretch before gliding back to their resting place tight against her back. She rises and sniffs the air, breathing in the suble fragrance of the coming renewal of flowers and life as she slips her cloak over her petite shoulders and affixes the toggles below the wing-slits in the back.

'I am famished...', she silently sighs, donning a pair of hide slips to protect her feet against the stone below her feet. She cocks her head to one side and makes note of a berry-laden bush a bit furthur down the nearly non-existant path. With a warm smile, she makes her way down the slope toward it.

Having taken her fill of berries along with a few sips of water from a tiny mountain stream, Aerin consults her maps again, a small twig dangling from the corner of her mouth in playful dance as she gnaws lightly on the end of it in thought.

'It is a bittersweet kindness to be back in my childhood home...', she ponders listlessly while her finger traces a few lines on the parchment. 'But still, it would be nice to carve my own niche, so to speak. I love my parents dearly, but being under their wings every waking moment is...' a small shudder ripples through her body, ending in her wing tips as she squints redundantly at the map. '...disturbing, to say the least. It's comforting, but at the same time, I feel so...', she thinks as she looks up at the main entrance to the caves.

"Trapped...", she finishes aloud, rolling her maps back up and gazing listlessly back out into the low sky above the water.

Seeking solice from her troubled thoughts in the cool morning air after losing all track of time, Aerin flies up to a sturdy branch in a large tree instead of forcing her tired mind to play tricks on her in the confines of the weyr and falls into a gentle slumber.

Aerin, having awakened a few hours earlier and spent time adding details from the fortnight's excursions on her map, took to wandering amicably down the winding path toward the base of the mountain, occasionally taking to the air to pass otherwise unpassable blockades.

Her cloak was neatly folded back into her bag and her leggings now offered less protection against thorns and brambles than the cloak did, but gained the benefit of not tangling her up as the loose cloth did. She could have flown down, sure, but the walk helped to clear her mind, so she wasn't about to give up her relaxation so easily.

Aerin and Lexine fly a playful erratic pattern up the mountain toward the caves.

Aerin and Lexine fly one of theirusual flight patterns down the mountains to the foothills, with Lexine flying high lookout while Aerin skirts the rock mere feet from the speeding surface, using the danger thrill to quell her nervousness about their current quest.
