Hello, dear readers!
Have you enjoyed the Trickmurk Circus? We definitely hope so! The windies among us will probably have enjoyed the extra gathering turns, too.
The normally silent Tangled Woods were filled with awesome activities last week, including various contests, games and riddles (well, that’s what Shadow is known for, right?) and giveaways. Let’s not forget their amazing raffle! In fact, the clans serving the Shadowbinder have done such a marvelous job at creating events that it’s hard to list them all. Instead, you can relive the memories in the festival gathering spot.
here. Don’t forget to check out the tents of the contests especially, the results may be out soon!
...but that’s not all. Gathering pinecones to swap with Joxar for cool festival items has become a little easier this year thanks to a venue that doesn’t look very welcoming at first, but proves to be very rewarding for those who dare to explore the long forsaken ruins. There are many items to be found, but be sure to watch your back at all times… it’s said the place is haunted, and there might be exposed skulls and swirling spirits hiding in the shadows!

Squall Stories
Welcome to Squall Stories, the literature and poetry of the Wind Flight. If you're interested in being featured, why not check out the Weekly Windy Writing Prompt, over in the Wind Forum? Or if you don't feel that's the best for you, send a PM to Ingeniousspark, and we'll work something out.
This issue’s story comes from the clan of @Vengrahdiin, where dragons and familiars are settling in and meeting new denmates...
Munihele and his Peryton familiar are both new to the clan and are therefore making it a priority to meet all of the clan members. A daunting task since his new clan is more of a small village by its sheer size.
Having been warmly greeted and accepted by the clan leaders he’s working his way to the other clan mates and has now found himself at the doorway to Aridanu’s room. Knocking gently, he hears a rather unearthly howl emanating from the other side of the door immediately followed by the booming voice of Aridanu, “Just a minute!” The howls resolved into intermittent ghostly barks as the door swung open, revealing the large Imperial and her excited Wraith Hound familiar.
Munihele and his Peryton took an involuntary step backward, both reeling at the sight of the hound and the carrion smell wafting toward them. The wraith hound levitated a foot or so in the air and made slobbering gestures of affection toward Munihele and his familiar. Munihele stifled a gag but reached out to pet the hound.
Aridanu, unaware of Munihele’s discomfort, cheerfully exclaimed, “Isn’t he just wonderful?” She handed the hound a treat composed of some unrecognizable substance. The hound levitated a bit lower to the ground and began to chew.
In horror, Munihele watched the treat make its way through the hound’s slightly transparent body. He wondered how it would be digested and unsuccessfully tried to imagine the end product.
Munihele managed to speak finally and stammered, “I-I’m pleased to m-meet you and your, uh…familiar! It’s been lovely but we have lots of others to meet and I hope to see you both again soon.”
Aridanu waved them on, saying, “Let’s get together for lunch sometime!” Munihele gagged again, waved back at Aridanu and her floating hound and, with his Peryton at his side, returned to his room for a nice long and very hot bath.

Glitz ‘n’ Glam
Welcome back to our fashion segment! Today we're covering this cycle’s festival apparel, in celebration of the Trickmurk Circus and eager, eager anticipation of the Mistral Jamboree next month! A quick refresher for anyone a little shaky on this cycle's festival apparel:
I polled the Wind Forum, and it seems the most popular item thus far was Fire’s Will o’ the Ember! Creating little wisps of flame that float adorably around the wearer, our model for this cute and charming apparel is Intermezzo, who shows us that this apparel can also be incredibly regal! Paired with a Searing Crown and a Firebreather Cape, as well as that beautiful accent, Scroll of Pells, he’s definitely decked out fit for a king! Just look at those colors!
Coming up a very close second was Shadow’s Gloomwillow Guide! A couple of my own denmates have these little cuties, and wow are they precious! Lumen here I'd our model, and I think you'll agree that the spooky and still cute thing is totally a go! Lumen’s also here to tell you that sometimes less is more! Paired with a Shady Emblem and the new Bramble Juggler accent, this is really understatedly delightful!
Neck and neck for third place was Ice and Plague! They actually tied, and I love talking to you all about this, so I chose to do both! Plague’s big apparel was the Skeletal Chimes, and showcasing them for us is Shiitala! She’ paired them perfectly with the equally macabre Bone crown, and in a fit of Plague-inspired aesthetic, threw in the delightfully radioactive-looking Mossy Maze colony. With her coloring and the Veteran’s Eye Scar thrown in for good measure she definitely fits the Plague theme!
Last but not least, we take a look at the frozen South in the form of Ice’s Chillspike Crown. Frostmyth here takes the frozen finery and makes it more approachable by utilizing some Gossamer Silks, and a pretty little Aqua Neck Bow. A chilly gust of Winter Wind sets it off beautifully, and the Frigid Emblem leaves there no doubt where her aesthetic hails from.
Honorable mention goes to Arcane and Light, who got one mention each, and my heart goes out to Lightning at Earth, whose apparel apparently isn't so popular. Maybe next year, right? That's all for this issue! Happy shopping!

Comic
Opinion Column
Last time, we asked you how quickly you liked to collect familiars, and good news for the critters: nobody dislikes befriending them! However, there were still some differences between clans. Among the clans who voted, there were two who were really devoted familiar collectors who would give almost anything to collect familiars as quickly as possible, but the majority (a little over 60%) would prefer to wait until they are a little easier to obtain, and go for it then.
“I love familiars a lot! They may even be my favorite part of flight rising. However, I'm not keen on losing large amounts of money to fill my collection. Patience is key!” ~ anonymous.
The rest of the voters, a third of you, voted they didn’t bother too much. They like to receive them, but don’t mind not getting them.
Next time, to go a bit deeper into this subject (and thanks to a reader suggestion!) we’d like to ask you what you collect here on Flight Rising. Anything goes! If there’s something specific you’re collecting, feel free to add it in the comments! (And maybe add your clan’s name too, it might be nice to show the list next issue, so you can perhaps help each other’s collections a little.
