Eve loved to explore.

She found herself in a new place, Tunnel J. She had first stared at the entrance to Orion, where she had come from, simply observing the carvings. She soon turned around and hopped down the tunnel - either too lazy or too tired to use her wings. At some point, as the little crow hobbled down the tunnel, she decided to practice magic.

Which is a thing one should often do, she strictly believed. There were many things to make magic here, many strange things she hadn't seen before. Things that perhaps Aquarian would like to have, espeically if she made them magic. However, the crow decided to start simple as she hopped on top of a pebble, holding it between both talons.

As the moonstone talon began to glow a brilliant silvery-blue, the crow found herself delighted at what she had turned the rock into. It looked delicate now, as if it were made of glass, and it glowed a soft yellow colour. Eve climbed off the pebble and observed it with a kindly gaze, as if she were looking at her own children.

She was content with her efforts, and the crow began to hobble on to look at the piles and piles of metalliac trash.

That encounter with the small white one had been interesting. Her magic appeared to counteract ours, we didn't appreciate that but we supposed there were many others who possessed such magic. Whether we were different for only being able to suck the light out of previously happy places we weren't quite sure. This had been the tunnel that we had stared down, so the logical choice had been to fly down it towards the other end.

There were broken pieces of things we didn't quite understand. Flying down to investigate, there appeared to be a smaller feathered one pecking among the rubble of a civilization. Swooping in, our shadow cast over her briefly before we landed beside her, a little too close for comfort. Rather than address her, our attention was immediately grabbed by the shiny pebble at her feet. It glowed, it was beautiful. We reached out to take it from where she had left it, as she moved on. Tossing it between our talons, we were confused as to how light had managed to become embedded in it. Light magic, it just had to be. Just as the fawn had had.

"You. You managed to make it glow?" It fascinated us, but we were also put off by the idea that one would cast magic to create light. Rather than erasing it wherever they went.

The crow looked up, blinking. She had no use for the glowing pebble now, she had one already in her nest and Aquarian had one, too. She even gave two to Dark, one for him and one for his friend - so she made no effort to defend the rock. "I did," she squawked, chest puffing up. She was tiny but confident. "It's magic. I know only two people who can do that, including myself!"

The confidence had perhaps turned to arrogance as the crow preened in her own success of making the pebble glow, a thing she done many times. Peering over the eagle she tilted her head, concern abruptly washing over her. "... Why do you ask?"

Actually not that interested in the crow, we twirled the pebble over in our claws multiple times before letting it drop back to the ground. In contrast with the rest of them, it just glowed gently, causing the other rocks to cast shadows which we most enjoyed. From a previously cocky tone, her feathers became ruffled and we weren't quite sure why. Was it something we had said? We hadn't even said anything other than asking her if it was she who had done this.

"Curiosity." Flicking it away, we looked over her again, confused as to how she had managed to so specifically place her magic. "Born with it too," it was more a statement than anything as we hopped around the rubble trying to find something else she could use her magic on. A bent and out of shape metal lamp, it was easy enough to bend back into shape with our claws and we got it looking half decent before awkwardly hopping/flying back. Placing it at her feet, we pointed, "Make the bulb place glow?" Not entirely sure if that would work as it was missing the one thing that would indeed make it glow, gas and fire, we'd prefer it to be lit by something that wasn't such a hazard. This glow was harmless, the light burned, but it would be good to see the way in places where it was impossible.
