The sight of the blue liviol island coming up ahead was a welcome one. She wasn't sure just when she'd stolen the little boat from where it had been hidden in the reeds, but she was quite sure that the current had been spinning her in circles before deigning to spit her upon the shores of the tiny island. Her belly was burning with hunger, her eyes beginning to drop as weariness took over. Somehow, the blue depths managed to continue to focus, see the way the clouds had sifted through the skyline in the day, now darkening to a deep purple as the night took over. The moon was high, peeking through wisps of darkness that tried to hide it away.
When the boat finally crunched into the gravel shallows around the island, pitching the girl nearly overboard from where she'd perched at the edge of the prow, it was a beautiful sight. A thick forest of trees as azure as her eyes rose high, the sounds of the night soft and soothing. There were many things said about the island, such as legends of a cat with more mass and muscle than the strongest twenty men of Radasanth, meaner than a Fallien heat wave.
She would have loved to see something like that, but for her purpose tonight, there was quite a different legend, one less spoken than the others, that she came. Something dark and feathered, a creature of peace and serenity. As she stepped into the mid-shin deep water, splashing her way to dry land, the girl wore the most feral of grins. She could feel the weight of her bloody carving knife against the side of her leg as she walked, the brush of feathers against her thigh as her nightgown shifted with the breeze.
She wondered if anything on this island knew that Chaos came.
