- AKEMI -

akemi had sprouted two days prior, twice the sun setting and rising over the dusty-red horizon. for a while after, they'd treaded through the sheltered canopy. it seemed relatively safe, with plenty of plants for food and not much danger. more than once they'd escaped from aggressive creatures, some they couldn't quite identify. but they'd come out alive every time, with not so much as a scratch.
their feathers were growing out nicely, as were their claws. in fact, akemi felt quite confident that they could take one of the creatures in a fight. that seemed unnecessary, though - they were more than capable of fleeing, the easier and less risky option. even the aching of their face had long subsided, leaving only a faint marking - two streaks of feathers, coloured a pale pink, ran down their cheeks. the otherwise purple feather had gotten used to it, before long, no longer startling at their reflection in the water.
eventually, akemi settled at the edge of the canopy, high on a hill with the frigid tundra sprawling out in front of them. maybe they'd explore the tundra someday, though it didn't look very inviting. with a small huff of disdain, the feather perched on a solid grey rock, claws scrabbling at the grainy surface. there wasn't much to do - finding food and shelter wasn't awfully difficult. there weren't many others around, either, which was somewhat comforting. as much as the podborns interested them, they weren't very bothered by their solitude.
dully, they wondered what they'd do if they encountered another feather, or perhaps a fur. maybe they'd chase it right away; that would serve it right, for disturbing them! or they could simply scar them, just like they'd done to the feather at the tree. a grin settled over akemi's face. that was a pleasing memory. still, it was days ago and long over. they hadn't seen anyone they recognised, much less the feathers from the blooming tree. that was alright. they didn't even want company, after all! what was a dumb feather to them?
so they fluffed their feathers around themself, watching as the sun dipped down for the third time.
