As she stepped away, she performed more magic that i was unaware of till. and she presented to me something rather intriguing. she let the gem fall at my talons, and with a wobbly limb i scooped it up to better inspect the item. i was truly taken aback, shocked she'd given me something so wonderful. i smiled, looking up at the nonamed creature and had the sudden urge to embrace her. however, i was unsure how to go about such a thing. with the gem still clutched in my baby talons, i hopped over to her limbs, were my proceeded to attempt and snuggle up to one of them. small chirps escaped every once in a while, as i then looked at my present once again.

"pounce? i'd like to meet pounce! what's our magic called? pounce's and i's i mean. "

as i scuttled away again, i looked up at the larger creature of light with genuine curiosity.

"spoken words."

still clutching the rock turned gem, i nodded in agreement. i could carry the little stone in my beak so that i could walk with her, as flight was rather nonexistent for me. i lacked the proper feathers, the proper age. i was but a wee little thing, and so hopping along would be just fine. i wondered where pounce was, and what he was. we had the same magic, but it was different then the noname's. i wnated to ponder this more, but instead i would come along with her and perhaps on our journey, we could find out her name! how exciting. i'd like nothing more.

"okay! i will follow you. i' not even sure where i am. something about the bonebound? azazel let me in with them,"

i didn't mean to babble, rant and run on. it all came flowing out of me. i was still unsure where the bonebound made their homes. azazel had informed me, but sometimes it was hard to remember all the information the bone king offered me.

"spoken words."

Iwatched as the creature of light knelt, coming down closer to my level. cerulean lenses observed her as she spoke, and my head cocked rapidly to the side before i returned speech. it took me several moments, observing the larger critter's anatomy so figure out how to climb atop her. i moved the gem she'd made me from my clutched talon to my beak, then hopped over to her, where i wriggled my way up her back, all the while attempted to not scratch her with neither beak nor talons. soon, i was atop her, perched with my feet tucked comfortably beneath me. i then transitioned my gem from beak to talon once again, and kept it safely clutched away in my foot.

"i think bones are cool, i guess. i just like the meat they give me!"

in a childish manner, i chuckled at my own little jest.

"thanks for giving me a ride on your back, maybe when i'm bigger i can take you for a ride!"

i flapped my temporarily useless wings, little creamed feathers fluttering about as my tiny tail wriggled.

"spoken words."

The ride was fun. being up this high was amazing. azurite lenses expanded as i looked down on both sides of the nonamed creature, but before i could exclaim my excitement for such an adrenaline rush, she found something for me. she picked it up, handed it over, and as she spoke to me how to use it, i outstretched my neck so that it could slide down my nape, where it nestled quite nicely. i moved the appropriate wing so that it could hang on my body without it impairing my movement. i opened the small flap that overlapped the pocket, and put my gem carefully in it. i smiled, looking to my nonamed friend and peeped with jubilation.

"wow, thanks a lot! this will work perfectly."

i accompanied it with an approving nod as she then said we should move on. and i wasn't in disagreement with that notion.

"yes, i'd like to meet pounce."

with a smile still plastered to my beak, i kept perched atop her back as we strode together through canis, toward wherever pounce was.

"spoken words."

As the both of us strolled along, the lovely creature of light began a story. i listened intently, head cocking this way and that in rapid movements as i thought to myself, a fish and a dog? what was a bear, and a bird? these creatures were all foreign to me, but in my head i pictured different colored creatures, of all shapes and sizes. i listened silently, unwilling to interrupt the lovely creature for fear she'd end her story.
