Chapter Two: "THE GLOWING BEAUTY OF GHIBLI"

Ora lay on her back, her shining pink belly illuminated in the soft, warm light of the new-arisen sun. The Ghibli lay on a ledge sticking out of the Loopy Sea, the sea spray misting her pleasantly and the sun warming her beak to talon.

Wrapped around her in a coil, was Kaisa. The Hikorshi’s mother had found young Ora while out hunting, and, according to the strict Hikorshi honorable code, when finding hurt young, one must take it in. The two had been best friends ever since.

“Pretty watching the sunrise, isn’t it? The pink sky bleeding out as the stars melt away…the golden sun rays beaming out…its all so….so…” Ora smirked. “Exquisite, superb, scenic, stunning…” Kaisa growled and stuck her tongue out at Ora. “You and your big words…no one cares if it sounds fancy! Too fancy, at least for me, I mean.”

Cara stuck his head out of the cave, the waterfall pooling down on him, disguising him as sunlight-reflecting mist. He waited until…STRIKE!

The shock from the electricity zapped through the two’s bodies, and Electric flew over to him. “I still don’t know why I helped you, but your welcome?” Cara bowed his head, “Your time is appreciated. It is to help us with the prophecy. You may now leave, if you wish.” The Vaumora cocked her head oddly, and flew off.

Kaisa yelped as Ora sprang up, barely catching Kaisa before she was dumped into the ocean. “Aww! Our morning is ruined!” Kaisa roared and kicked her legs at invisible air figures as Ora carried her in her back talons to their home, a small cave in a large platform on Central Grounds. That meaning no one army owned the area.

Cara flew over on silent wings to the ledge, picking up one of the feather-scale mixtures, almost turning to wing-webbing. The pink and blue fade brightened the day, for Cara now had the second piece to glory.

He tucked in the scale, it clashing it a nice way with Zela’s feather. He looked around, squinted, then vanished into the bright new day.

As Ora slept, the Hikoshi climbed up the rock, being trained by Ora to do so. She carried the meat of a dead Traiboros, and made a soft screechy churring noise to wake up Ora. They both paid their respects on how this creature died to feed them, a noble purpose, and began to eat. Ora fell back asleep, not even wiping off the blood on her beak. Kaisa purred and went under her wing, and shortly fell asleep.

The two yapped awake and turned around quickly, listening to the sound. A weird Aereis with pastel rainbow feathers and black and white fur was sitting on their carpet. It made a high-pitched whining noise, its tail moving in a strange way. It bowed down, flashing its eye whites and baring its large, rounded teeth. Ora cowered and Kaisa roared and kneeled, showing

They were not hostile. The Aereis got out of submission position, and sat down on the fluffy pile of down collected from a Jotunhel’s breast made for visitors. “My name is Zela, I have come with intriguing news.” Ora and Kaisa looked at eachother, and then began to listen. Zela explained all she new of the prophecy, the Golden Barbarians, their fate and a little on her friend Kochi.

Kaisa was extremely excited for Ora but sad for two reasons- one, she could not come and she was always with Ora, and two, she felt left out just sitting at home, hearing about Ora’s heroism. But she decided she must support Ora and wait till she came back. Ora and Zela immediately decided to go, say their farwells and be off to find the Ura.
