All the miths had departed for their natural habitats weeks ago and many of the local dragons were away for their annual beach vacation at the Wavecrest Saturnalia. It was a perfect time for Windruffles to settle down to her writing again. [columns][url=https://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=53349577][img]https://imgur.com/3bpjnNK.png[/img][/url][nextcol][size=4] "Windruffles! Windruffles!" And there went her inkwell, spilled on the grass. "Enkidu! I thought you went home last week! What are you still doing here??"[/size][/columns] "Look! I found this!" Ignoring her question, the little Snapper thrust an origami butterfly at her. It's lovely honeydew wing patterns reminded her of something... "Open it! Oooopen it!" Enkidu was vibrating right out of his skin. Curious, Windruffles carefully unfolded the little butterfly.

It is a gift from the Windsinger. Now, about your parents..."[/size][nextcol][img]https://i.imgur.com/9w98aWn.png[/img][/columns] "Oh, they're coming tomorrow! I told them you wanted me to stay through the Saturnalia!" And the Snapper was off and running down the hill. Windruffles retrieved another inkpot and settled beneath her tree. Dipping her quill, she took a moment for thought before setting ink to parchment. Then she began... "The miths came. They came from the Shifting Expanse and they came from the Ashfall Waste, sailing over the Sea of a Thousand Currents. From the Sunbeam Ruins, from the Viridian Labyrinth, and from deep in the Tangled Woods they came..."
