Unbound

I hate waiting.

It wasn’t the waiting, really, so much as the boredom. Pit had already counted all the tiles across the chamber twice, watched the storm out the windows, and stared aimlessly through the swirling Shadowgate. Even the mosaic at the back of the chamber—while beautiful and fascinating—could only hold his attention for so long. He'd already noted how few of the tenku looked like him. Most were different colors or had odd beak shapes and plumage. Only two had the same russet and black coloration as himself, but those were far smaller.

How many Evolutions have the Chimera here undergone? From what A’zek told him, Evolutions were unpredictable and often took time. Two, like me? Three? More?

He was excited to find out.

“Hm.” He tilted his head, studying the mosaic. “Are these other ones a sort of Dragon? I thought they were Lost.”

"I believe they are wyverns," A’zek said, tapping the tiles with one large paw. “Our cousins.”

Huh. The feathered lizards certainly looked nothing like Dragons. While they were sufficiently lizard-like, they had only four limbs, two of which were their wings—and while they had long tails and manes like Yin, both were covered in colorful feathers.

"They look fast," Pit said, eyeing them critically. "Are they fast?"

A'zek lifted his chin. "My father once said they were the fastest amongst all Chimera."
