skywalker
I want my life to be art."
-Carrie Fisher
She lets the autumn currents dictate her flight path today, for she has no real destination in mind. In truth, she doesn’t actually know where to go. She has not strayed too far from the Gates (and thus has met precious few others) since her surprise landing just a couple of years ago. Though still young and reckless, she is still somewhat mindful of the directions she follows... she does not want to lose her way again, not so soon after returning to the Gates.
Though she prefers to fly much higher, to walk among the clouds as her name suggests, the air has too much of a bite, so she keeps to the lower altitudes. It’s really not a terrible thing, she decides, for she can see the details of the land and its inhabitants far more clearly. She sweeps over the terrain, admiring the way that the cheery colors of summer have given way to the vibrant yet earthy browns, reds, oranges, and yellows of the changing foliage.
But there is something else that doesn’t quite fit into the fall scenery beneath her.
All at once, a light winks into existence. Its center shimmers and dances in a delicate but hypnotic manner, erasing all other thoughts from her mind as its glow strengthens. Ever the curious child, she circles back and begins to descend from her lofty position. She touches down a fair distance from the light, cautious but enthusiastic at uncovering a potentially magical piece of Beqanna.
Now that she is closer, she finds that she cannot see anything within the brightness, and upon further inspection, she can easily walk around it. If that weren’t enough to capture her attention, she can feel the tendrils of magic that stretch towards her from the pulsating light. She had told Myrna that she had been looking for some unknown thing while she’d been away from the Gates, but that she had come up empty-handed; maybe this will somehow help satiate the hunger that has been causing her to wander.
Wariness cast aside by a rushing swell of excitement, she gives in to the pull of magic and steps forward, allowing the swirling, glittering vortex of light to wash over the entirety of her dark body…
