Description The sound of soft weeping drew Alahhaois into the willow grove. He brushed aside long leaf tendrils which waved and whispered in the breeze as he followed the sound. At last he came upon the form of his sister, curled up beside an old trunk. Her face was buried in her tiny hands as she sobbed, tiny wings limp behind her.

"Azalea, what's wrong, little one?"

The tiny girl looked up, pudgy face pink from crying and shining from tears. Sniffling, she wiped her eyes with her palms and looked at Alahhaois with bright, blue eyes.

"M-mom and dad won't teach me to fly. I a-asked them yesterday and they said they might today...b-but--" She choked back a sob. "---then today, they told me to go away."

The gold eyes of her older brother softened. Kneeling down, he smiled and held out his hand.

"Don't worry, Azalea. I'll teach you. How does the oak forest sound?

She sniffled momentarily, before brightening with a smile. "Yes! Just promise you won't let me fall, okay?" She took his hand.

"Never, little sis. I'd never let you fall."

Alahhaois with his little sister, Azalea. The story seems so sweet and benign, doesn't it?

Thank you Hehehe, when I came online and saw the number of things in my message center my heart kind of....stopped. I was like, "....is that a bug? There's no way I could have received that many messages overnight."

It's such an honor As soon as Ang comes online I'm going to hug her until she can't breathe.

Wow x.x That is an AMAZING piece of art. I'm truly envious of your talent. The wings are what really catch my eyes, I wouldn't expect that to be am attractive color combination at first but it actually works and works REALLY well! Bravo :3

windfalcon In reply to sugarfawn [2005-10-19 21:38:58 +0000 UTC]

Indeed - green and purple can look horrid if placed together the wrong way, and if the wrong hues are used. Thanks for the comment!

Seems so sweet and benign? XD;; Uh oh.

Oh my gosh your detail. I love all of the little "fractures" that you have on the wings of Alahhaois...as well as all of those leaves, both in foreground and back. My gosh. The posing is wonderful too, so playful and intimate, though I'm not sure if I mentioned that already. ^^

YES! I've been waiting for this as you could tell (*points to self* Crazy pirate chick fawning over your pictures and hovering about your table like a disturbing fly) I love it! The wings are soooooooo pretty! So detailed and silky looking, but also with a sort of... stained glass look. And the background it wonderful! *favorites instantly* I think this is definatly one of your better pieces.
