Ignis trotted along a well worn path winding this way and that through the towering tree trunks, his bright wings folded neatly against his sides. The thick interwoven branches overhead provided a cool shade that was a welcome relief from the blistering rays of the sun. Although he enjoyed the calm quiet and the serene beauty of the forest, he couldn't help feeling claustrophobic. Ignis grumbled crankily as he kicked a stone in his path. He had no real destination, he simply enjoyed experiencing new places, he had passed over this place plenty of times while in flight and today had seemed as good a day as any to explore it.
Nariko was traveling alone, she had become accustomed to the silence that it provided. It gave her time to think, time to train. She had found a new home deep within the forest, it was a tranquil area that had little visitors.
