Lust half flew, half hopped towards the tunnel that connected Orion to Monoceros. Over time the basics of flying had been learned. Flying while trying to carry something seemed to be another matter. While the golden stone wasn’t particularly large, it had a bit of weight to it that the bird wasn’t use to carrying. The gem had rested safely in their hidden treasure trove for safe keeping; a small part of the heroic eagle that had once saved them.

Yes … It had been quite a few cycles since Lust had travelled this way. They still hadn’t quit gathered the courage to go into Monoceros itself. The tunnel connecting the two caverns was much more terrifying. While there had been no word of rock creatures since that time, Lust couldn’t help but be hyper alert to their possible presence. The instinctual puffing of feathers did not help matters when it came to trying to fly.

Lust travelled as far as they dare before landing. A nice sized boulder was off to one side of the smooth pathway. This would make for a good pillar for the stone. It was be easy for Glory to find it, but also to keep from loosing it as well. The idea of the sunstone going missing was devastating to Lust. The very thought of it made them want to cry. And with the disaster that was their conversation with Envy ….

The pigeon shook their head, looking around for a place to rest for a bit while waiting. Glory had said they could sense the stone’s presence and would check every day for it. That was a number of cycles ago and there was no way of telling when he’d be by again. The area seemed relatively safe, at least for the moment, so they curled up for a light rest by the boulder to wait.
