Second Feather ✪ [Video]
Greetings, Union!
[ It's Gwendolyn! With a burbling Firesong the Fletchling on her left shoulder, and a shivering pile of Cherrim leaves poking over the right. She's smiling, trying her best to look as much the diplomat as possible, but it's clear that she's excited in spite of herself.
Dressed as formally as ever for the Valkyrie, there is one key difference in her appearance today - three feathers are attached to the left side of her hairband, a bright contrast to her silver hair: two yellow feathers flanking a longer blue one. ]
Some of you may have noticed some excitement amongst the Valkyrie and others from Citadel in the past few days. Well, that is because this coming week marks the start of the Citadel Games! These are an annual tradition throughout the months of Spring, where athletes show off their athletic prowess in a number of activities, and the preliminaries will be held at the Great Tree all next week!
You have everything from relay racing to Caldera rules rugby to wrestling to gymnastics, as well as an exhibition match of the Dragonite Races! Both humans and pokémon have their own events, in addition to traditional doubles and partnership matches, along with sports from both Caldera and Union being on display. And this year will also feature the debut of Griftorb as an official pokémon-only sport!
[her hands clap together before her, eyes shining with excitement] Rumour also has it that the annual endurance race, which is always held prior to the start of Summer, will be ending in Caldera proper this year. And the victor will be crowned on the Day of Fire! So that should prove exciting, if true.
Anyway, number of us are planning to travel there tomorrow to attend for the week. Should anyone else wish to go, you and your bond mates are welcome to travel with us!

Thank you. [there's the slightest bob - a curtsey, with both wings stretching out a bit to show off those colours] I can manage short distances with them! It's, different, to just riding the air currents, and I have a lot of work to do to build up the muscles needed for longer flights. [but it's clear she's determined to put in the time necessary]
no subject
I know you'll pick it up quickly. You strike me as the kind of person who will give whatever they try their all no matter what. I have zero doubts about that.
Just make sure to eat plenty of protein after a workout. Should build the muscles faster. Worked for me doing farm work, anyway.
no subject
[her head tilts slightly] A farm, truly?
no subject
Besides, now my younger brother is old enough to help out around the farm, which is why I got permission to go out and help Union... and explore, really. I'll probably need to go back home for awhile later in the year to help with harvest, but other than that, I was given pretty much free reign to come and go.
It's a good chance to grow stronger too. Think Mom had that in mind too when she told me to go. She probably knew something I didn't. Which she always did, being Psychic and all.
no subject
She likely did. I have not known many psychic types outside of the priesthood, as most of my family is made up of flying types. [Save for her father..] Which is fitting, really, being Wind blessed. But Union has its ways of attracting strong Enlightened to it, I am sure you'll have plenty of opportunities to grow stronger.
no subject
But you're right about Union. I've seen more powerful Enlightened here than I even imagined it would. It's truly exciting.
no subject
Exciting is certainly one word for it. [worrying, too, if Ever Grande's interest was anything to go by, or that of the Gods]
no subject
[But he can't hide a tinge of curiosity in his voice.]
no subject
[ She hasn't bonded with one, but it could potentially be useful in the future.. ]
