18th Katti: [Action]
[Lyn has been trying for over a year now to actually get enough strength from Kipinn to fly. The most she's ever been able to do, however, is hover an inch off the ground.
So today she's trying a new tactic. Her wings spread wide, or as wide as the tiny Filial wings can get, she forces the wind into them directly, giving herself something to push off of as she begins to flap.
With this wind combined with the air pooling around her feet, pushing up against her, she begins to rise... one inch, then two, until at last she's a foot off the ground. She beams widely, ready to celebrate her triumph over gravity...
When the wind abruptly rips a few feathers from her wings. This is incredibly painful, and she gasps in pain before losing control of the wind, which dissipates. She falls to the earth, landing in a heap. A foot isn't that far to fall, but the way she dropped was twisted enough to give her a nasty gouge on one of her arms and a scraped hand and knee.
She lies on the ground for a moment before the shock caused by the pain in her wings wears off, then crawls her way to her feet, wincing.]
Spirits, that hurts... I think I've tried everything now.
... I wonder if there are any healers nearby.
[Grimacing, she starts to make her way back into the village.]

What's that?
[Action]
Wyverns? Great flying lizards, even larger than a pegasus. They're very intimidating.
[Action]
... [gulp] ... what do they eat?
[Action]
... You know, I never asked. Probably livestock.
[Action]
Oh, so they aren't that common then?
[Action]
They're only common in the land of Bern. I rarely saw one until I went there.
Re: [Action]
That's better. They sound real scary!
[Action]
They are, but they can be tamed. And wyvern riders are some of the strongest warriors I know.
[Action]
Really? Wow... that actually sounds rather cool!!
[Action]
[She laughs.] That's a good word for it, I think.
Re: [Action]
Have you ever ridden a wyvern?
