Straw in the Wind

Aoede managed to make Ulmaria take pause as she thought about her sister’s words. The moon and starred girl looked over her shoulder at her pretty sister when she offered another suggestion. Ao’s brows lifted in interest, perhaps they could explore the world that was at their toe tips and truly decide what the best of all the lands were. "We should,” Aoede agreed easily as the pair continued to move through the dense forests.

Ulmaria suddenly sprinted off as her eyes caught sight of something and she brought her sister’s attention as well. Her voice was full of curiosity and wonder so Ao couldn’t deny her own as dainty paws brought her to the other girl’s side. Dark ears perked up as her golden gaze fell on the prehistoric creature. There were ridges up its hard shell of a back and its head was square and grumpy looking. Its beak was sharp and it wasn’t even waving it at the girls quite yet.

"I don’t know. It looks really old though. Even older than pops I think.” She took a little teasing stab at their great granddad, but it was all in love. "Maybe some kind of swamp monster.” She giggled as she took a closer look, but still kept a little further away in case it could move faster than it looked.
