Spirit Animal

The lovely music of his screeching call could be heard a few miles before he gracefully landed over my extended arms that was ready to greet him. "What news have you brought for me, my sweet?" I asked, a fond smile forming over my red lips that matched the color of my chosen attire for the day. He flapped his wings in reply, nipping my ears lovingly and whispering a high monotone of tweets while he was at it. 

There is plenty he shares through his eyes, that he shares only with me, for we are each others missing piece that links the gap between the mortal realm and the spirit realm. Not many are lucky to find their rightful Spirit Animal, not many as focused and determined to prevail all the trials and hardships. It took me years of my young adulthood and plenty of sacrifices before I reached the eligibility to be given the chance at seeking my companion. 

I watch him fondly grooming himself before my gaze travels over the land below, the land that is my home and the land that I am soon to govern in the coming days. Am I fit to be a ruler? Would I be able to guide my people just as my father had guided them and his father before him? My little companion pecked my nose to destroy all my thoughts, bringing me back to reality from my doubts. I smiled towards him as he tilted his head, letting out a small caw as if he was telling me not to worry. His big eyes were full of knowledge and understanding.

To be chosen was a treasure and to be able to live my legacy, I must remain headstrong.

Note:

This picture was actually taken awhile back but I wanted to give it a justified story before I posted it. I really love Jian's falcons and I could not resist basing my picture around them. Somehow, I managed to find the right outfit only because I wanted to wear something red, since it was the Christmas season and you see so many reds everywhere, I felt inspired to be part of the flock. But, I did not want to do a typical Christmas picture, just something different. Addams had this lovely short dress that always fascinated me but I had no excuse to get it or wear it until this picture idea came about. I paired the Love Rush Dress with Aii's lovely Red Thorny Succubus Skirt, Aii is amazing with creativity and that skirt is one accessory that I manage to pair with many of my outfits and it always ends up giving that striking feeling or magical feeling. One more day to 2018, hope everyone has a great one and as for the story, who knows if it will continue. ;)
