Flight Rising - Clan History
Shale, a young guardian female, was resting in the shadow of the giant sundial among the Sunbeam Ruins. She was resting her wings after a long day flying in her Search looking for a perfect spot to settle down and hopefully start her own clan. The shadows and stones beneath her masks her presence due to her dark, stone-coloring so only the most attentive passer by flyers even notice her there during her nap.
As the sun starts to set, her cover slowly disappears as the shade recedes while a spark of bright wings flash across the sunset, catching her eyes as they blink open. The magenta and cerulean dance across the oranges and reds of the skyline as it chases something unseen. Shale raises her head to the sky, stretching her body and wings before shaking them out as she sits back onto her haunches. It's apparent that the bright-one notices as it shifts direction and continues to fly low towards her over the broken architecture. It doesn't take long for her to identify him as one of the males that she had noticed flying around the Ruins recently.
Landing a few feet from the female, the male stretches his wings in display, using them for balance as he puts his weight onto his back feet, arching his body to his full height and wing span making quite a display for the female.
Shale snorts a breath of smoke from her nose, uncoiling her tail from beside her as she sits up straight, her pose adopting his to show her larger wings and height. Though she was leaner than the male, her display properly chastises the male as he settles back down to sit upon his haunches to regard the female in front of her.
Both Guardians were without a charge to call their own, but a spark was started as they regard each other. Though they didn't have a place to call home, something in each of them called to the other as they stared each other down late into the night. Neither moved nor spoke as the moon arced across the sky.
They didn't know it, but this would be the start of Spera. A doubly protected clan that two guardians will forever protect as their charge. A clan that is open to those of the less fortunate and seeking a place to call home, always evolving and adapting to their clans' needs as they arise.
