Noah rode the rising thermals instead of fighting them, great griffin wings spread wide as the Climb opened beneath him. Heat shoved upward in invisible pillars, tugging at his feathers, and he let it carry him. The air tasted of sulfur and smoke long before the pyre came into view. When it did, the griffin's chest rumbled with awe. It was huge. Flames roared high enough to be seen from leagues away, twisting aand bright and alive.
Once close enough to the offering pyre, he flared, hovering in a stall above the pyre’s edge with powerful downstrokes. Glacier eyes swept over the immense flames and he lifted his chin towards the heavens to send a prayer across the attuned bond, hoping the seasonal deity would hear it. For balance, Tanau.
From his talons the offerings came loose as he flicked what would be a wrist. Dried peppers scattered first, flashing red before vanishing into flame. The whiskey flask followed, bursting with a muffled pop that sent a brief spiral of blue fire upward. Resin and wood dropped last, feeding the blaze with thick, fragrant smoke.
Angling his wings, Noah started on a wide descent arc towards the rest of the festival proper, growling at gore crows as he passed them.
Noah gave an offering of dried hot peppers, whiskey, resin, and wood bits.
