Madeira Overlooking An Amber Sky

Share

This is a character environment drawing of Madeira. In this scene, Madeira and Soulron are talking to each other about where to find the next Starlight and Zodiac Spirit. This is after they obtained the Ghost and Rabbit Spirits. In this moment, they do not have any clues or leads to go on. Madeira then sees above them ships rising to the edge of space.


"It's the annual Space Edge Festival! I've always dreamed of going to it." Madeira saids in delight, as the dark purple nebula tones of the ships pierce the amber late afternoon.


"I been up in the sky with those ships when I was a kid years ago." Soulron said, as he saw Madeira being suprised by Soulron revealing a part of his past she never knew until now.


"When I was being trained by Zeus, he took me to a grand formation of thunderstorm clouds where the wind was directing them towards those ships in the sky, as they began to take off from the ground. My test was to absorb or blow away the storm and that was the day I could allow the storm and winds to flow within me." Soulron explained, his tone expressing a cherised memory.


"What was it like, when you struggled to be able to live up to fighting like a dragon?" Madeira asks, as the both of them see that this time and place has brought forth the opportunity to recharge from how they are both feeling worried about not knowing what to do next.


"When I was a kid, before I was trained by Zeus, Asase Yaa and Xiuhtecuhtli, I often felt like I lived on an island with no bridges. Almost everyone I knew who wasn't a dragon were scared of me. I remember once being hurt by a kid telling me "Your lack of legs are wierd", as he and his group of bullies smacked me with sticks. I never fought back no matter how much they hit me, because I wanted to respect how Futs Lung told me that those who bullied me wanted an oppertunity to frame me as a monster if I fought back." Soulton tells Madeira, as the melancholy in his voice caused Madeira to reach out her tail to him, the gesture puzzling Soulron.


"If I could, I would give you a hug. I know how awful it is to get picked on by people because they think you can't stand up for yourself. All I got for a handshake or hug is my tail." Madeira said to Soulron, as her face forms a grin from being fully aware of her unorthodox gesture.


Madeira sits down near Soulron, as she giggles seeing Soulron's hands shaking her tail. "I learned how to stand up for myself when Taanusiya helped me train my tail to a prehensile level. It helped me because before Taanusiya entered my life, I felt like someone who could not be depended on. I was never beaten up by bullies, but a lot of girls would go out of their way to get under my skin and make me feel bad for being born without arms. When I was first able to grab onto a handle with my tail, it blew my mind with joy. It was something that I was ecstatic about because it felt to me like the first time I could prove to those who wanted to make me feel awful about what I was born with wrong." Madeira told Soulron, as her tail moved away from Soulron's hands.


"And ever since that day where I felt I was able to prove those who looked down on me wrong, I promised to myself that I would always aspire to be someone people can depend on." Madeira saids, as she and Soulron's gazes look towards the ships in the sky on their way to the domain of the Space Edge Festival.


Madeira stands up to look upon the open amber skies. "Seeing that we got no clues on where we can find the next spirits, how about we go to the festival in the sky? I should be able to enter the life support force field they have around their ship before they get too high in the sky. Your luckly to be able to breathe for twelve hours on the edge of the Ozone layer Soulron." Madeira asks him.


"Wouldn't hurt to take a chance to be at something so unique. I'm curious to see what this festival is like, seeing that I had to protect it from a storm the last time I went to it." Soulron answers, as Madeira summons her wings gifted to her by Futs Lung.


Soulron opens his wings and both him and Madeira take off to the skies, ascending to the Space Edge Festival that gradually rose to the edge of space
