Tiny Bird!Anivia wishes you well from her tiny perch!

It might not be such a huge thing, but I just discovered that Anivia might be missing a joint.

And here is my proof.

If we look at her model and compare that to the wing of a bird, then at first, there might not be such a big difference.

The general shape more or less matches.

But, if I compare hers to the skeletal structure of a bird’s wing, the elbow appears!

Here is another comparison.

The black line represents the body and the red ones form the “arm”.

Basically almost all animals, with the exception of insects, snakes, etc, follow the same build plan considering the joints of the arm: shoulder, elbow and wrist.

It’s just not very visible with birds since the feathers hide it all. The same doesn’t apply to Anivia because she does not have an extra layer covering her whole body. Heck, she doesn’t even have any internal structures, she’s litterally hollow inside!

Here are some more pictures.

I highlighted the joints with the green circles.

So, Anivia is essentially missing her shoulders or possibly her elbows.

...

I don’t know which one is worst, but it’s sort of disturbing.

Interesting. So, his only requirement for being classified as a god is either having the ability to live forever and still be vulnerable to death or simply not being able to die? If she were to follow his reasoning then, yes, she would indeed be considered a “god” (she still felt uneasy thinking about it this way). But, she more or less was immortal, even for the more generalized standards, provided that her egg remained unscathed.

Hmm. But that would make him a god as well. Would that imply that he was to kill himself as well? She couldn’t fathom why anyone, god or no god, would want to destroy themselves for simply being considered a celestial being? Wasn’t that the duty of the one who was responsible for ending lives on this world? It did not make sense to her. Perhaps, she mused, it had something to do with his twisted and corrupted aura?

The only cases where creatures had resisted their fate were some stray beings from her world who hadn’t wanted to end when they had lived their full lifespan. When their time had come, they had struggled against their inevitable fate, sending spikes of hatred and fury towards her. She couldn’t comprehend why they had targeted her. She was only carrying out the duty she had been given with no regards to favoritism. Even she herself wasn’t spared. Maybe it had been less frequent, but she had dutifully refolded herself when she knew her end approached.

But as far as she remembered, she had unfolded herself not too long ago. The next cycle was still far in the future, so why would this being take it upon himself execute her refolding? The confusion was visible in her body language.

“If that is your sole requirement, then I would indeed be considered a, god, as you have put, but, tell me, why would you concern yourself with my lifecycle? As far as I can recall, my last refolding had occurred fairly recently, so there would be no reason for you to be involved in my rebirth.”

A worried gleam reflected off her ruby eyes. This human was clearly hurt and needed help. Why would he-

Suddenly a dark… presence made itself known, seeping through the cracks of his aura. It was difficult to distinguish, but she could sense that it was a separate entity that had somehow managed to attach(?) itself to his essence. It didn’t belong there, but why was it still here? Was he not able to expel it from his person before?

Despite the overwhelming fatigue, her crest and the pointed protrusions framing her face still rose sharply in response to the rising level of danger, but the moment she noticed it, she forced them to lower. However, she wasn’t able to make them lay completely flat again, the compulsion to keep a safe distance was too strong. She reflexively lifted her wings a little from their lowered position, trying to resist the urge to immediately take off.

She had no way of knowing when this…separate being would attack or try to harm her already relatively fragile body, but she wasn’t willing to just leave him alone, like the human had suggested. What would he be able to do on his own when he was this damaged?

Suddenly an idea popped into her head. Perhaps he knew any other humans who might be able to assist him? If so, then hopefully, they would be able to help him further when she couldn’t really do anything for him with her awkward size. Compared to her, he was no bigger than one of her claws, after all.

“Please excuse me, but like I have stated before, I am not willing to leave someone who might have needed my help. But seeing as I am not able aid you anymore directly, I must ask you if you have any acquaintances who might be able to help you in your state.”

If he did, then she could guide them here, or if they weren’t able to get to him, she would be forced to transport him herself, even with his severe wounds and dark entity housing within him.

She held her damaged limb away from her body, trying to will it to heal faster, but  to no avail. The acid-like substance ate faster through the paper than she could generate them, threatening to fully dissolve her wing. In contrast to the dire situation of that appendage, the torn paper along her chest was repairing itself quite quickly, only the middle part of the tear remaining unclosed.

She lowered herself to a sitting position, trying to conserve energy in order to direct it to her wing, just in time to catch his words. Help? She wasn’t sure if a human could directly aid her in this situation. He didn’t even know her and vice versa. She had no way of knowing his intentions, but regarding her current situation, she might be forced to trust him eventually.

“I…” She blanked out. What had happened? The moment she tried to recall anything, nothing surfaced. Only flashes of all-consuming pain rippling through her body and the sharp, unforgiving wind rushing past her, further damaging the paper.

“I… I can’t… remember?” Her core spiked in response to the rush of panic she felt, little tendrils of energy lashing out, uncontained by her damaged chest. How was it possible that she just lost her memories of the past events?! No, she couldn’t afford to lose her grip on her emotions now, not in front of this unfamiliar human. Forcing her magic to calm, she turned to the human to answer his second question.

“Well, I am unsure what you might be able to do in order to assist me," Her body trembled in pain, the quiet sound of soft rustling paper filled the air around her, like opening a book and letting the pages flutter past your fingers while skimming through the text, "However, why do you offer your assistance to something like me?" Despite the burning sensation of the irreversibly damaged wing, she still needed to know why he wished to help her, while seemingly wanting nothing in return.

Her kin mostly communicated through sensations and feelings, emotions, to get their message across, so if this one was going to lie, she would be able to detect it in his aura. If she was going to attempt her seemingly inevitable plan, she had to be absolutely sure of his personality, what kind of person she was facing right now and what he was planning to do with her, should she trust him, even though he had not shown her any hostile behavior from the start.

Jarvan frowned softly as he listened to her speak - while indeed, it was hardly a secret that his people feared displays of magic, things once had been different. Once. In a world where Sylas had not escaped from his prison (which Jarvan felt was entirely understandable - a desire to escape when one had once been held against one’s will). In a world where he had not resorted to such violent means to spread his ideals, perhaps…

It was then that he came across an idea. A compromise, of sorts, and an opportunity for Anivia to see the grand capital of Demacia without causing - well. As much distress as would certainly be elicited if she were to openly walk amongst the people.

“What if you were to fly over the capital, and see for yourself what life in the city is like? I would be more than happy to speak to you of my people, too.” He smiled, heart swelling with pride as he spoke of his people and his kingdom. He loved both wholeheartedly, and felt inspired always to do his best for them, whether it was in preparation for the day he one day would be elected to rule, or in more simpler duties such as now, introducing his people to a being ignorant of the wonders of his nation.

“…I would love to get to know you better, too!”

She slowly brought her head further down while he spoke, trying catch his words. Something else she had noticed upon arriving on this world, was the fact that she was unable to hear the sounds the small beings made from her normal sitting position. So, she had to adjust to their size, lowering her head to roughly their level. It was a risky maneuver. After all, not all of these humans seemed to have a positive attitude when faced with something as large as her and she did not have enough experience to gauge their intentions from solely their facial expressions. Luckily for her, she could gather from this conversation that this one didn’t bear any ill will towards her. In fact, he seemed calm and somewhat… elated(?) in her presence.

“Yes, I was planning to do as you have said, but considering my… size, it might not be such an opportune idea. You humans, regardless of fear of magic or the unknown, seem to always flee at the fleeting sight of my shadow covering the ground you find yourself on.”

She calmly stood up from her lowered position, rising to her full height, mulling about this common factor. Other cities she had visited before, had reacted the exact same way: upon noticing the giant, seemingly living and breathing, creature drifting overhead, the humans either tried to run and hide or they charged at her with their violent bursts of elemental magic and sharp projectiles, all in an effort to reach her and drive her away. But, for reasons unknown to her, most of the animals didn’t behave that decisively. It baffled her that they didn’t express the same level of intelligence as these humans. Perhaps some cataclysmic event had robbed them of their minds? There were so many possibilities in this world where almost everything seemed achievable.

But if this apparently important human, hadn’t opposed her initial idea (he even proposed it), perhaps he could prevent his people from hunting her down and potentially destroying her? She still had her doubts about it. The high risk of this attempt to get a grasp on the culture of these humans was still lingering in her head, but her curiosity eventually took over and she had made her decision.

Crouching, she cautiously moved down, trying to evade the staff-like weapon at his side. She didn’t know a lot about this worlds arms and even the most basic swords seemed to all possess surprisingly powers. Unconsciously, the twin protruding pieces of gleaming gold paper at the side of her face rose halfway from their lowered position together with her crest, the closer she brought her head and neck to him.

“Alright, if you allow it, then I would like to take you up on your offer,” she answered, “but, seeing as your being does not radiate any magical potential, I presume that you do not have any flying capabilities.” She knew she was taking a risky chance, but she trusted that this one was not scheming to harm her, “so, would you like to travel with me to your kingdom?”

Upon hearing his last utterance, she very slightly moved her tail from side to side, mimicking the behavior of organic birds for expressing happiness.

“Likewise.”
