His first trip to the Kuali'i Isles had been interesting, to say the least. His second had been more fascinating as he'd ridden the winds high above them, watching the slow, stately drift of the islands over the course of a few hours as they merged and broke apart and migrated across the blue waters below.
Isuma had napped in the hollow between his shoulder blades and wing joints, content to keep him company in his study of the new region until the midday sun had grown warm enough even in Leafchange to turn them back towards the shore. It was chance that brought them winging over a stretch of coast with a familiar horned-and-hooved shape below, and the gryphlet had peeped excitedly as she dove over the side of the dragon's shoulder to flutter around Zuriel with happy greetings for the stately unicorn.
Where the companion was, the human wouldn't be far behind. Jigano cast about until he saw a dark-bunned head break the surface, and then he dipped his wings to skim over the waves, his shadow racing ahead of him as he crooned a greeting.
