Description

EDIT// Changed it to a night scene ^^

The Phoenix, A beautiful bird born from the flame's of Arcea's sun and molded by the god Ketha's with the clouds Saharil gave to the land of Edda. A legend tells that every one-hundred years, two of these great birds’s rise up from the ashes of the earth, destined to find each other within their brief life, for one goal, to lay a single egg. As a child I was told of a story by my father, years ago, he had came across a lead, one of which told of an ancient war axe buried in the side of a mountain. This war axe was said to hold the power of the gods, fire so hot it could melt flesh off bone in one swing. He had dug in this location for many years, never finding more than rocks. However, on the day of the summer solstice many, many years ago he found something... Not an axe, but a bird! Two phoenix's dancing together though the mountain air only a few feet away from the mountain side he was digging at. What a sight it was to see these rare birds fly though the air around one another in a mating dance. I remember being so inspired by that story, but in all my years I had thought it was only that, a story. Today, the day of the Solstice, 100 years after the event my father had witnessed, I had found his charts and maps, leading to this exact spot he had been digging at in his youth when he witnessed these birds of fire. I was digging at the site, also only finding dirt and rocks when I heard two strange bird calls that I had never heard before in all my years of travel. Curious, I went to investigate this said sound, and what a surprise it was to find exactly what my father had 100 years before me. Two phoenixes’, dancing on air, twirled about each other. I had remembered that the Empire had put up a bounty for these bird, at first I thought about capturing at least one of these animals but as I continued to watch these birds dance in pure awe I decided against it. I will let these animals have their day... After all it's not every day they get to do these things.. It’s every 100 years.
