Description
The falcon was sitting on the on the cold rusty ledge for sometime. Having the group safe, at least for the night, let him wander more freely.
Usually, at this given opportunity, Zeph would go alone further, but something weighed on him to stay. A rare occasion of prayer to the Great Avian;
"The winter here is cold, and sky-less. The rain drops from above, that's true.. But these tubes, these industries...It's everywhere!
I wasn't born to this, so I know I fight for these children to see the blue sky... It hasn't always been this way.."
Zeph's words were merely whispers, angry, and exhausted, deprived of the security to speak any louder. He stopped, for a moment, to listen to the echo of thousands of raindrops hitting the endless industrial maze below and above him.
"-But they do not know such color."
Only when he was alone, he let his face express such emotion - sadness.
"How could they possibly follow someone whose motivation they can't possibly understand..
It has become more dangerous now, we are moving closer and closer to the labs. It's been insanely tough to get the group through the ruins again. They have questions,
but why, why do they always have the questions I can't have an answer for! I don't know..I don't know..."
His hands rose closer to grab his head, yet a drop falling through and down his talons brought him back. He closed his eyes and with a sigh, almost defeated, let go of his hurting emotion.
Stretching his arm forward, flexing each finger of his hand, he concentrated - a small wave of heat gathered in his wrist. As the heat increased enough, he released it to break through and run through his palm and fingers to the tips of his talons - and flare up.
"..Tonight, bring us dreams of warmth"
He spoke through the fire, sending his words to the hidden night sky.

~----------------◘ Land of Quargan. Part one: "WHO BROKE THE PLANET?! Oh, we did"
Technology used to be increasing in an unbelievable speed before the war broke off, AI, Quantum Mechanics, Robotics, Astronomy, Medicine, Media-- So much youth has joined facilities to study and learn the newest of science. And then, one day, things changed. The first war began with an artificial earthquake and elimination of the satellites over an entire continent - All wireless connections were shut down. The earthquake was targeted at coasts, which were most of the time used for secret military bases far underneath the beach sands. You see, Quargan was known for its futuristic, high-tech and peaceful ways for centuries, even the civilians themselves were not aware of existence of military force - expect, of course, the military people themselves. Since all wireless connection was disabled due the attack on the satellites, the news were required to be spread physically, shouting, papers. But They did not have a lot of time for that. Quargan was invaded, and a war that no one has even imagined broke through. Or perhaps, someone did imagine that
is what about to happen? Yes. And not just imagine - plan. It was not truly a war, rather a plan between the nations to cover up their true intentions: Create fear, terror, make up a war for an excuse to recruit intelligent youth to develop your technology, seeking a new goal that was never revealed: Asteroid mining and inter-galactic trading. The leaders of the lands of this planet had discovered of inter and outer-galactic civilizations whose technology was far more developed then they could have guessed. The cultural obsession embodied in their being craved for interaction. Their plan was to mine the asteroids they have calculated to pass close to the planet, and use them for first-time meeting with the friendly, kind aliens in order to offer trade.
The technological youth has been developing for decades, and meanwhile the survivors of so shortly described 'war' were forced through either power or propaganda to labor - building factories over their own houses, over ruins, over everything. The factories were full of machines that did all the production work - but the ones above figured, they couldn't just eliminate all of their man-power. So they used them to construct the walls and roads between the machine's domain.
After several years of developed paranoia, the high leaders suspicions of potential violence or aggression from the creatures beyond their skies grew, and caused them to lose two members of the highest of roles and respects. Fear was chocking the power-men. Despite the fact that they did, indeed, train their computer-minds for offense and defense, it was too easy realizing that much greater than that must be required to compete with alien technology and abilities. The labs were built. Experiments began.
Experiment - Earth to body, or, more commonly known as "Metamorphosix" was one of them. The scientists collected volunteers and children in order to attempt recreation of the tale-told energy-bending.
A power once possessed by spirituals of the ancient times. The research was inspired and based on ancient findings about the Great Avians. Six magnificant roc birds, each with the role to protect an element and seek balance in order for all other life to co-exist under their wings. (The roc birds are based on colors of the sky - Dawn, Sunrise, Morning, Day, Sunset, Evening, Midnight". Each of the birds - possessed an elemental ability - Plasma, Gas, Rock, Water, Wood, and Dream) The experiments were - following runes and scripts, perform alchemy on the young healthy bodies in order to grant them the powers of the elements.
But oh, how wrong that went.....

Whoa, your sense of perspective in this one is so cool. I love that you've given the background such depth, while still keeping your eye completely focused on the character. The striking colors of both the fire, his beak, and limbs really just help pull your eye right to him and pop him off of the background. ;v; And the story just drives it all home. This is such an interesting, and obviously well thought out story! I would love to see more.

Kiire, you keep swaying my heart to the rooftops!
I just can't find a way to thank you enough for your words.. You are just like a natural spring of flatters and beauty!
I really appreciate the attention you put into this piece, I worked very hard on it and at some point I felt a little hopeless
of making it work with the colors I initially had in mind, and only after long evening of failed attempts I finally was semi-satisfied.
Your words warm my heart so much.. I feel complete with this artwork now! :'D Thank you, so so much! /hugs
And.. the truth is, I never even expect anyone to read my story pieces.. They are undeveloped yet, but very wild and alive in my mind and heart!
It's a story I've been thinking about from since years ago, but never had the chance to complete..
Such comments as yours feel like absolute gems that bright and color my motivation to grow it so much!
