"Hello, hello!" booms a large Ridgeback lady. She walks with a self-confident swagger, towering over many of the others at the festival. In her hand is a bow, which she holds with the ease of long practice. "I'm Zephyr, and today I'm going to show you all some archery, the likes of which you have never seen before! I can guarantee you will be amazed."
She whips out an arrow, nocks it, and aims at a large target set up nearby. With a whistle and a thunk, she makes a perfect bullseye. She smirks a little, backs up ten paces, and looses another arrow. It, too, finds its mark. Zephyr backs up once more, the gathering crowd scurrying out of her way. A third arrow hits the bullseye, and the crowd claps.
"Easy," she smirks. "Perhaps something a bit more interesting?" An assistant pulls the arrows out of the target, and tacks a playing card onto the bullseye. The ace of spades. Zephyr steps forward a few paces and takes a confident stance. "Some dragons like to say they have an ace in the hole, but how about a hole in the ace?" With apparent ease, she puts a hole dead center in the ace, and bows.
"All very well, but now it's time for a REAL challenge." Zephyr produces an apple and holds it up. "Any volunteers?" The crowd titters nervously, and she laughs. "I'm joking, of course! No volunteers will be necessary." She sweeps her hat off and sets the apple on her own forehead. There are a few gasps as she nocks her next arrow and turns to a stone wall. Will she really attempt such a risky shot? How can she be sure which way it will ricochet? Perhaps she will use Wind magic to alter the course of the arrow.
With a soft
thwack, they all have their answer. Zephyr grins in triumph as the apple tumbles off her head, arrow dead center through it. The crowd applauds wildly, and she bows several times.
"Well, that's one way to make applesauce! I've got a few more for mementos, but do remember not to try this at home." Zephyr begins to hand out some apples and other prizes. She's got a pretty good arm too, and lobs some to dragons standing further away.

Dil "Ah, what a nice outfit! Perhaps some of these will complenent it?" Ichigo might get tempted to use those feathers on her kite...
@
7diamonds The raft is stacked with a little more by the time they get there! The ridgeback smiles to herself in satisfaction at her aim.
@
RubieKanary Kite ingredients may be coming Rubie's way sooner than she thinks!
@
VelveteenVixen The clank of helmets bouncing off the ground and rolling towards them breaks up the moment somewhat, but are hopefully a pleasant surprise overall!
@
SilverQuark Zephyr appreciates Feratherien's appreciation, and tosses a few things her way in return
@
Zytorian Zunde can truly make friends with anyone, including this weird new friend that slithers over and listens eagerly to her stories.
@
Welgan "You seem a bit lost," Zephyr observes to Orion. "How about a nice friend?" Careful though, it's point!
@
Watercolour Thanks to Zephyr's wicked aim, Mandioca may end up with pants instead of poetry.
@
AshuriiAkemi Zephyr can't help but laugh when she catches sight of the spiral. "Getting a little caught up in the party, are we?" She helps untangle poor Rana from the kite and gives her something to cheer her up.
@
GuardianDragonak A mysterious gust of wind disturbs Takumi's peace momentarily. What a lovely shade of green the draft is, and it brings some nice prizes along with it!
@
HSoup Sometimes, a few things pick themselves up! Especially when they're being delivered by somebody with such a strong arm as Zephyr.
@
Biuret Hopefully those better terms include "marksmanship" and "amazing" and "dear God is she throwing a whale at us, DUCK"
@
KoopTroup Usually, if you wait around long enough things will start coming to you! Especially when Zephyr is winging them at anyone she can find.
@
Lundlaeva Perhaps with this friend to help them search, they'll be able to find everything... unless it eats your potted violets first, of course...
@
Sylphiette That confetti seems to include some very shiny stones! Nice.
@
LadyOfTheSkies She might get Ambushed by several new friends!
@
Asphoxia Never mind where the music is coming from, where are all these scrolls coming from?!
@
TrashHoe Zephyr is not going to do Peony's composure any favors, with all this cool stuff!
@
Canisa Evenfall will quickly find an exciting new friend of her own!
@
jamesfitz3 She might not win a kite, but something from a little closer to home will find Chaw!
@
VolcanicThunder Something gauzy falls over Zephyr's eyes. Not helpful for finding the nocturne, but perhaps a nice find nonetheless!
@
MoxieDaydream Maybe Esrare will be more excited when she sees how much delicious food is here! Seriously, there's so much. Like, an unholy amount.
