(Scavenge) Into the Quarry
The sun was high in the sky as the four stryx circled the deserted quarry. The air was light with the smell of flowers in bloom and grass baking in the sun. It was an uncharacteristically hot day in spring. The enormous pit had to be several miles wide and at least a mile deep. Much of the stone was white or off-white, bleached by the harsh rays of the sun. The familiar scent of dust masked many of the signature spring scents.
“It’s kind of pretty, in a way.” Numali turned to face Randall and Bard. The three fliers were scouting out the path ahead for safety. Bard was humming to himself as he coasted along, his rider Achil

Trudging through the Desert
The heat of the desert was unbearable.
The sky above held not a single cloud, offering no protection for the blisteringly hot orb of fire beating down on all of the adventurers. The sand beneath their feet was so heated by the sun that it burned them if they stood still for too long. Blocky orange rock faces towered over them as far as they could see. The sound of chirping and buzzing insects filled an otherwise silent canyon. The desert was pretty much always hot - but in the middle of the day as it was, it was horrifically so. Everything the beams off the midday sun touched felt like it was on fire. They all regretted not moving at

Career Entry 3 - An Unusual Discovery
Facade sat with Heatwave on a stump in the middle of the forest. It was a sunny day, but a cold one. The spring sun was coming but hadn’t quite arrived yet. While the sun beat down on the snow and the trees from its perch in the sky it didn’t have the heat required to actually melt much. It had barely warmed the wood and stone where they now sat, even with sitting out in direct sunlight for the entirety of the day. The bright blue sky was almost entirely cloudless. Only a handful of stringy white clouds littered the space above the forest. Buds on the trees had begun to pop from the branches. The grass was already perking up in t

Daius Trib - A Race to Remember
The sun was mildly hot overhead, poised in the dead center of the bright blue sky. The summer sun was coming. The stryx had all enjoyed the relative coolness of the winter desert, but as the three of them stood in the heat of the midday, they could feel it. Though the winter desert lacked snow or blackened, naked trees, it was much cooler than usual. Their riders carried with them heavier clothing, though they did not carry them now. Night was far colder than the day, dropping to a point where they could be considered cold. In this sun-cracked, vast desert, it was beyond a simple rarity. Not a single cloud sullied the brilliant sunshine. The

Just Your Average Morning Scavenge
The world was coated in a hardy layer of pink and purple paint, the sunlight building in strength as the pale gold sphere was hefted into the heavens. A few stars twinkled defiantly overhead, refusing to be swallowed up by the dawn just yet. Most of them had faded away into the beauty of the atmosphere. A gentle breeze rustled the leaves beneath the stryxes' feet but wasn't quite strong enough to sweep them from the forest floor. The ground was covered in splashes of red, orange, and brown, the leaves long given in to the rest promised by the arrival of autumn. Nulla raised up her head, neck feathers caressed by the soft touch of the wind. Th
