Ankyra Sound and do the aqua-boogie, win lots of goodies maybe

@Kharybdis - clear night time!

a cold wind followed valravn down the steep cliffs, dying in a quiet whisper as it trawled through the tall sequoias. val had slipped from sapphique after being woken from a dream:

a pair of yellow eyes staring up from a black tunnel

unmistakable

even now that vision haunted him as he quietly threaded between massive boughs. the snow underfoot was soft, and the sky above brilliantly studded by a thousand twinkling stars.

something about the sound drew valravn, but it wasn't the eerie glitter of blue that rimmed the coast, or even the waters. it was the ancient melancholy that settled around this place, transporting it from the reality into a magical realm of mystery and wonder. everything here was different -- the stars seemed more brilliant, the trees massive, the forest sleepy --

it settled the boy's racing heart. aimless, val continued along the tree line with his gaze trained on the skies above.
