It had been a couple of days since I had last seen Kali, really since I had last seen anyone. I had seen a few others from far away, but had yet to make any attempt at introducing myself. So I was just content to spend time with the two of them now and again, and learn all the bits about Ischia either with them or by myself. Mostly it was by myself, but I kept the day of our tour in my mind and would occasionally go back to venture. Today was one of those days.
I tucked my wings against my side, something a bit newer and that I was still learning on. The winds around the island could be brutal at times and it was tough. However, they were fun, even if I did end up in the water on more than one occasion. Even if when they got wet they took forever to dry.
I sighed softly, nosing around the deeper parts of the jungle today, occasionally seeing one of the rainbow birds that Kali so enjoyed. The thought made me smile some, a faint smile as I thought of her. I slid deeper and deeper until I hit one of the caves and move inside it. This one was one of my favorites. It seemed to go beneath one of the hills…or mountains, whatever you wanted to call it and come out on the other side after some twists and turns.
One of the rainbow birds flew overhead, catching my attention and it’s then that I see the lavender that catches my eyes. I narrow them slightly. Kali? I frown a bit, unused to seeing her so alone and still. Usually she was bouncing and happy and talkative. This Kali, this one was someone different.
I stretch out my wings, glad for the small bit of clearing that I could do so. Somehow, with a tremendous effort, I manage to get out of the jungle and go up and up and up until I can land easily not too far from her. The trail leading back down barely visible behind her. “Hey Little Miss.” I say softly, settling in next to her and looking out over the island with her.
