[PQ+] feathers and fractures

So much time on the other side
Waiting for you to wake up

Soh had never flown below the grotto before, and she was surprised by how twisted and dark it seemed. As she floated along on the breeze, she was struck by a certain unease that wouldn't go away, no matter how hard she tried to dismiss it from her thoughts. There was no rhyme or reason to it, no visible threat - it was simply a feeling emanating from the gnarled roots.

There were a surprising amount of things to explore, things that Soh would not have expected to find down here. A chest caught her eye, hidden behind some foliage; braided roots hanging down towards the sea; some nests, some of which looked distinctly not bird-like; and a small crashed skyboat. Soh considered their options thoughtfully. A hidden chest was always something interesting, but how would they open it in bird form? The nests looked interesting, but what if they belonged to something bigger and more dangerous than their three birds? The braided roots were interesting to look at, sure, but, like a true explorer, Soh was drawn to the dingy. We could explore that skyboat, she suggested, a keen golden eye peering at it.

Maybe I'll see you in another life
If this one wasn't enough
