The moon was just past full now. It hung large and fat on the horizon. The sky was also fairly clear. Tiny wisps of clouds. She had been avoiding taking to the air during the daylight. She was afraid of seeing the land below her look so dead. It wasn't so bad at night. The shadows hid the feeling of everything being dead. So she had taken to flying at night. So far it only made her sleep through breakfast. Ivory didn't mind that so much. She needed to save her coin anyways. She had no idea how she was going to solve this problem with her sight.

Ivory had been going further and further every night. Now she wasn't sure what lay below her. It seemed to be a more tangible mist. One that didn't part to reveal only death and waist land. It was a curious thing. So carefully she dropped lower.

Shadeen walked beneath the moonlight, stretching out her arms above her head and letting out a sigh of contentment. The moon hung in the sky, a brilliant golden orb that gave the only light to see by. It was enough but she still walked carefully not wanting to trip on a hidden rock or crevice in the earth. Her booted feet created a light sound as they came into contact with the earth. Her jade eyes searched for something for her to rest on, a rock or outcropping of sorts, just enough for her to take a break.

She thought she heard a sound above her like wings in the night. She turned her head to search the sky but couldn’t find anything out of the ordinary. She never had good night vision, the average for a human. She thought she caught movement but the clouds could have easily explained it.

Her leg caught and she almost fell onto the rock her walked into. It was about 4 feet high and flat on the surface. What luck. She pulled herself up onto the rock, although she couldn’t seem to shake the fact that she had indeed heard wings. Hoping to catch an owl or hawk hunting she watched the sky above her, swinging her legs as she relaxed on the rock.
