Clouds and Currents - VoK & HW 2021 Event Prompts

   Bora squinted. The feathers he'd been following slowly grew sparser and sparser as evening bled into night, until he no longer could follow their trail. But, this place that they seemed to head towards... Tamaya and Nahia had, together, given enough of a description for him to have a clue of where it was, and the decently-trodden land, marked with paw prints of both cat and lion, and perhaps even others... fox and hyena? Whatever the case, the sheer amount of travel this place had seen in recent days seemed only to prove it. And so, following the direction of the now-left-behind trail, he found it. A little booth, with a sign reading "Edgar's Scavenger Club - Now accepting new members!"
   It was as small as had been described to him, and he was able to clear the counter with only a few awkward steps. The booth's owner was nowhere to be found... but there was something else. An energy, for lack of a better term. He turned back towards the counter to find a chest hidden beneath it.
   Now, Bora knew enough of magic to know that the energy emanating from this chest could be an indicator of a trap. But he was no slouch in that department himself, being a god and all. And while he was not supposed to interfere with the affairs of mortals... Well, he was here now, already interfering with the titan and the sorceress, albeit indirectly. A bit of further investigation would surely cause him no more trouble than the rest of his meddling when he returned to the realm of the gods. And so, he opened the chest to find... more feathers?
   And then still more feathers. Not from the chest, but from a rustling and flapping nearby. The smilodon snapped his head up just in time to find the cat fleeing, startling his raven (Nahia was right, that was rather small for a raven) as he slipped away. Where had that cat been? He'd not spotted him in the booth, and yet...
   And still more importantly, his eyes had changed. They were... glowing. The same way that the deity of rebirth's had when he had granted them the memories of their previous lives, or the way the dragon god's silver-furred apprentice's began to as he took the ones from her mortal life away. Magic.
   Whether it was Edgar's own magic or someone else's, he couldn't tell. But he would find out.
