You sit down abruptly on a nearby boulder as you finally reach the top of the ridge, breathing rapidly. Looking down the steep incline though, you feel a rush of excitement and accomplishment, making the hike well worth it in its own right. Moving your gaze higher, you look around the surrounding landscape, noticing the path through the prairie that you had followed. Farther off are the dim green mists that signaled forests, and beyond that nothing you could make note of. As a breeze comes up the ridge, you close your eyes and lift your head, thoroughly enjoying the cooling sensation. After a few moments though, a strange sound rushes past you, and you open your eyes quickly. You jump back and yelp in surprise as a creature flies close by you before landing behind you. The creature takes his time shuffling his wings to a comfortable position, chuckling darkly to himself; you get the feeling it's directed towards you, and you blush as you try to regain your composure. He finally walks slowly towards the ridge, stopping a few feet away and looking over the expanse instead of at you. You're a bit annoyed with his cocky behavior, but not enough to stop you from introducing yourself; he certainly was intriguing, and you couldn't help but be curious about what and who he was. He tilts his head slightly towards you, a small smile on his face. After a few moments, he looks back out, but says to you, "And I am Rift...a serian, if you didn't know." He stalls for a moment, seeming to imply that he thought you did, and you blush again. He does continue shortly though, "Strange to see a traveler this high; lost are we?" He finally looks at you straight on and smiles perhaps a bit wildly, and you can't quite tell if there was any negative conatation in his question. Fearing there might be though, you tell him you weren't lost....you had meant to come up there after all. He nods once and grins knowingly to himself, and replies, "Well then, I shall leave you to your way. Good day." With that, he leaps off the ridge, soaring once again. He twirls and rushes past you once more, before taking off beyond the higher hills. You shake your head, and look around again, trying to decide where to go...
