Crucis
As the night sky blankets the world, Crucis, the majestic creature of the night, takes to the air, soaring gracefully through The Dale's pointed stones that glisten under the moonlight and the stars. Her body blends seamlessly into the dark sky adorned with countless constellations as she skillfully maneuvers through treacherous terrain.
With each beat of her wings, she propels herself forward, moving in a rhythmic motion, folding and extending them in perfect sync to avoid the sharp spikes of rock that protrude menacingly toward the heavens. The wind rushes by her as she glides around the spikes and over the lake, spinning and twirling in an elegant dance, relishing the freedom of her nightly flight. The silver in her mane, tail, and body glimmers and sparkles, adding to her ethereal glow.
Despite her exhaustion, she continues to push herself, navigating through the Lands with unwavering focus, determined not to get impaled by any spike that might suddenly appear in her path. Finally, she lands softly on the other side of the lake, bordering The Chamber, finding refuge under the shelter of the tall pines that blanket the land.
With a gentle flutter of her wings, she folds them neatly to her sides and raises her head to the Moon, paying homage before lowering her head to drink from the lake's cool waters. The moment's tranquility is only broken by the sound of the water trickling between her lips as she refreshes herself, the coolness of the water soothing her parched throat.
