Theme: this nonsense is for the birds!
Username: aerisonus
Dragon's Name: Noel
Entrant:
ever since he could remember, noel had always been very proud of his vibrant pink plumage. he'd always thought that against his blue coat, his wings looked like fresh spring blossoms against a clear blue sky. cherry blossoms in particular were his favorite, and he often found himself leisurely walking the woodland path, which is where he'd first seen it.
a sakura owl, with eyes wizened and discerning, swooping along overhead. as one of the creature's feathers fluttered down in front of him, noel scooped it up and held it against his own wings, smiling in affection. that had been the start of a long and determined endeavour: noel would not give up until he had befriended the avian whose plumage epitomized what he loved about his place in the world.
the increased time spent in the woodland path tracking down the sakura owl found noel collecting the many sakura blossoms that spring coaxed into bloom as well. he enjoyed twining them into different adornments and sitting underneath the trees' shade. it was during one such afternoon that he was suddenly showered with a flowerfall of the blossoms, and the presence of the long sought sakura owl fell over him. the owl challenged him, and when noel won, the bird conceded to stick around.
and now, on the evening of the greenskeeper gathering masquerade, noel heaped sakura blossoms around his neck and tied them around his wrist in tribute to his avian friend and the connection they shared. with a teasing smile, he waved his new tropical birdskull headdress in front of his new friend. "look at what i got, just for the occasion! we were always a matching pair, but tonight we'll really look it!"
the owl seemed to raise a patronizing eyebrow, but noel merely grinned deviously. "well, are you coming along, or not? this night is for the birds, after all." with a muttering hoot, the owl stiffly spread its wings to perch on noel's prehensile tail, showering the pair of them with another flowerfall of sakura blossoms.
the two set out to the ball, feathers shining the same shade and white beaks prodding forth, both the picture of a flourish of cherry blossoms. but anyone who looked upon them had to wonder whether noel was really supporting his friend's time in the spotlight, or whether the old owl himself was an accessory to noel's costume.
