Bluebird woke with a little grumble of protest as she was nudged awake. She opened one eye to see Link leaning over her, with a big grin on his face. It was still dark out, and she gave him a tiny little growl before draping her arm over her face. "Link... It's the middle of the night, whaaaaat..." She peeked out at him to see his answer. 'I want to show you something, but we need to leave now to get there in time to see it. Put your Snowquill set on!' Bluebird weakly batted at him as he picked her up. She felt her Snowquill set being pressed into her hands before being set down again. Then Link disappeared out of the bedroom. With that, she got changed and met him outside. She was still rubbing the sleep from her eyes as Link plucked her up out of the snow. He merely chuckled as she reached over and grabbed onto his tunic. 'Alright alright, you can sleep on the way up. You can stop trying to stab me with your eyes now, little birdy~'
Bluebird tucked herself into the front of his tunic, dozing as he climbed up Mount Lanayru. At some despicable hour. For some reason. Eventually, about an hour and a half into the climb, she woke again, on her terms this time. Link must have felt her move because his hand reached in and wrapped around her middle. Bluebird gently grabbed onto his hair as he, for some odd reason, chose to place her on the top of his head. 'Hold onto me! You'll see~' he signed to her. Bluebird grabbed two armfuls of his hair, and watched the world go by as he climbed up. After a while, he began climbing around giant pillars of blue ice. Link let her look at it for a minute before continuing onward. Then the wind picked up, and Link seemed to really speed up at that. What was happening? Finally he reached the summit. And he waited for a few more minutes. Then Bluebird saw something she'd never forget for as long as she lived.

A great, blue and pale gray dragon appeared from the clouds and snow. Blue crystals glowing on its head like a crown, and more running down it's great back. In the early morning light, it glowed brightly. A pulse of blue. She found herself smiling from ear to ear at this. The great dragon drew closer, and Bluebird was taken aback by the sheer size. "Ahhhhhhhhh! Link it's beautiful!"
'She. She is. Her name is Naydra. She's the guardian spirit of the Spring of Wisdom. Which is right behind us.'
Bluebird had to suppress a squeal of joy. Her eyes sparkled as she watched Naydra drift closer. The dragon seemed to look right at them. Naydra drifted ever closer until, if Link had wanted to, he could have stepped forward and touched her as she drifted by. Bluebird was laughing, taking in the magnificent sight. The wind blew her and Link's hair about, snow getting caught in it. But she didn't mind. Any ire she had about being woken up so early was long gone. As she came to realize Link had to have memorized the great dragon's route, down to the time. The pair watched as Naydra continued on her route, slowly vanishing into the snow and clouds once more. Bluebird slid down onto Link's shoulder, grabbing onto his long sideburn and all but hopping in place: "Is she the only one? Are there others like her? Can we see them?" Link was laughing now himself as he tried to slow her down a little. 'Yes, yes! There's three others. Two I know. One is... New. There's Farosh, she's the golden guardian spirit for the Spring of Courage. Red Dinraal, Spring of Power. But then there's what people have been calling the Light Dragon. She appeared recently... She's beautiful. White with a golden mane, and blue antlers. Like a stag.' Bluebird grinned ever wider. Giddy with joy. Link gently grabbed her in one hand, bringing her to his front. 'I'll take you to see them all, don't you worry!' he signed with a big grin.

I LOVED doing the 2nd panel. That look of wonder and awe as she watches Naydra drift into view.
