Marielle closed her eyes as she took a deep breath. The weather of Dravania was perfect today. Fluffy white clouds and weather warm enough for a nap. She extended her arms as she tipped her head back. Enjoying the feel of the open air all around her as she stood at the edge of the plateau.

Sky, her chocobo, stood nearby. It wasn’t the same as having wings of your own. Yet her feathered friend worked pretty well for moments like this. Flying her up here to a nice open space. A space perfect for a nap. Just like when she was a child.

Marielle laid down and stared up at the sky above. Just watching the clouds float by in their lazy slow motion. Sky taking a hint to curl up and nap. Blue squawked at the two of them before giving up. The baby raptor hopped up onto Sky to curl up as well.

Oh how Marielle missed soaring the skies. Laying on the plateau with the breeze flowing by just wasn’t the same. Yet it still helped to ease the ache of the thing she missed the most.
