The toiling came to an end as a man fell asleep for the last time. His last thoughts were a sadness that he couldn't read just one more word. The book that he'd been reading toppled to the ground as his arms went limp. His room was dimly lit by a lamp, but slowly, the light in his window flickers out just as his life did a few hours before. With it, the final spark of his last moments came to a close.

It awakens.

The air above the bay was not the ideal location to come into existence. Yet to be clothed, it quickly found itself toppling into the cold, dark waters below. It knew nothing, felt nothing, it simply existed. It was hungry.

? ? ?

The joyous singing ended abruptly as a flash of blue light engulfed the group. They each took a single step forward, vanishing into nothing. With the morning came the end of their quest, for now.

It awakens.

Knowing nothing of itself or its location, it could not even feel anything as the ground beneath it melted away in the sudden, raging inferno of plasma that burst into existence around it. It instinctively knew that the flames would instantly erase it from a very brief existence if it did not do something. It is already falling, its nonexistent body still prey to certain metaphysical laws. The forested world in the sky above was lit by the light of the flames, by not engulfed by them. If it wanted to survive when it came into existence again, it would have to get there.

? ? ?

Overwhelmed by loss, the flames engulfed him. None had stopped him, he hadn't let them. His pain was too overwhelming.

It awakens.

Within the blaze, it found itself in comfort. This was what sparked it, the perfect environment for it. But staying there wasn't an option. It was hungry, it needed to eat.

? ? ?

Impressed by the thief's display, the lord offered him every luxury as thanks, but he refused. The only thanks he required were her words of gratitude, declaring that he had proved himself a noble and trustworthy soul. She understood, and thanked him from the bottom of her heart.

It awakens.

The world was cold and barren, utterly devoid of life. It was cold, and its Stomach empty. It would not last long against the elements unless it found a way to fill itself. In the distance, a mountain smoked violently, warning that it would soon rush forth and decimate everything nearby. Several other mountains could be seen nearby, but none shook and sputtered in the same way. Aside from the mountains, there were no other landmarks that it could use to navigate towards something worth eating.

[Glass]

? ? ?

It's too hot here. And there isn't any food. That's not right. Why shouldn't they be there? There looks nice.
They stretch a hand out to grab onto one of the tree branches and pull themselves closer. That's much nicer.

Is there any food nearby?

[Chevaleresse]

? ? ?

Mountains. Cold. Hungry. Warm mountain? No, that would destroy food. Other mountains? Perhaps. The barren waste held nothing it could see.

It turned toward the nearest peak, took three running steps, and hurled itself through the air at it.

[Sutoratosu Akira]

? ? ?
Unable to ignore its instincts, the creature stalked forward through the flames on all fours. It stopped only briefly as it encountered the lone burning carcass within the inferno, as if sensing it is somehow of significance beyond food. Regardless if it is true, it still required sustenance. Gently, it cradled the corpse in its flaming locks, quickly devouring it whole. With the deed done it broke into a sprint, its hellish eyes scanning for prey as it emerged from its fiery realm.

[Knightwing64]

? ? ?

Alive? Fact. Hungry? Fact. Dark? Fact. It moves, swimming through the water, looking for a large ocean predator to control and make it catch me some food. Try to find land.

[Takosher]

? ? ?

As it moved through the water, it noticed itself growing increasingly sluggish. The cold and wet resisted it, and it's body struggled to move. A few fish swam near, but quickly fled in terror at the sight of a large, moving thing.

? ? ?

Though incapable of touching the branch in its incorporeal state, it still found itself pulled closer. Or, more accurately, the branch and it were no longer far apart.

? ? ?

Screams and shouts met its ears as it emerged from the billowing flames. It did not understand them yet. The small, hair-covered creatures that watched the inferno that created it with awe quickly turned to fear as they realized that a monster had appeared before them. It heard two phrases repeated over and over. "Fwuyo met vlat!" and "Fa fwu!" they cried out over and over as they fled. It instinctively knew that those phrases were meant for it. Those were the words that prry used to refer to it.

? ? ?

It smashed into the peak with such violent force that a large spray of dirt, rock, and ice was blown free. It tumbled downward into a large cave exposed by its collision and found itself landing roughly at the bottom. The air was warm, hot even, it began to sweat. It did not see anything to put in its Stomach.

[Glass]

? ? ?

It falls face-first onto the ground below the tree it was reaching toward.
Ow.
It recollects itself, head once more above the rest of its form, and looks around.

Food? Is there any around? It wants some food.

[Sutoratosu Akira]

? ? ?
It gazed upon the creatures in what appeared to be curiosity. In truth though, it was gauging which of the fleeing forms was the slowest. With an almost eerie silence it took off after the unlucky winner of that lottery, letting their brethren escape with their lives... for now. As it drew closer its hair again unfurled into a billowing maelstrom of fire, ever eager to consume more material.

[Knightwing64]

? ? ?

Adjustment. Living in water has proven to be unsustainable. Switching plans. Use variable power and attempt to use it to find land

[Chevaleresse]

? ? ?

Pain. Do not smash into rock that hard. Too warm and no food. The cold mountain was not cold, but it still held no food. Try the other mountain?

The blue creature hurled itself in the direction it had come, attempting to moderate itself so it did not fall again. Then, it turned toward the brighter peak, and began moving toward it in a series of smaller leaps, so that there would not be another painful, rock-filled landing. Maybe.

[Takosher]

? ? ?

Its power activated, imbuing its aura with extreme heat to counteract the cold.

The water around it almost immediately started boiling.

? ? ?

It was getting very hungry, and realized that its body was starting to deteriorate. There wasn't any meaningful food around, but it did spy some small hopping things and other small things moving through the air and between trees. It could put those in its Stomach.

Fa Fwu

The prey screams as Fa Fwu's hair engulfs her. It doesn't fully understand the words yet, but it is learning quickly. The prey does not want to be eaten.

? ? ?

The hot mountain vibrated the ground and air as it grumbles angrily. This did not deter the blue creature any more than the glowing white barriers it kept smashing through. However, the sudden appearance of a small, winged creature floating in the air in front of it did give it pause. This was due to how delicious the winged thing smelled. And on top of that, it was carrying something that smelled even more delicious. The winged thing yelled something at the blue creature, but words were not known to it. The winged thing realized quickly and let a puff of air out that seemed to indicate anger of some kind. It then held up the little brown sack it was carrying. The blue creature knew that the sack would sate its hunger even more than the winged thing. And the winged thing knew it too. Its wings glowed white like the barriers and then it suddenly took off at high speed away from the hot, shaking mountain.

[Sutoratosu Akira]

Fa Fwu

The sentiment proved incomprehensible to the beast. Why would prey so lament its purpose? If they did not want to be eaten, why had the first so readily offered itself to it's cradle? Why had they all stood there, watching its birth, instead of run well before it found them? In its brief confusion, the beast paid little notice to how it had completely lose track of the rest. Unfortunate, for it needed to see if other prey reacted the same.

No matter. It would simply find more. And thus it started off again, hair extinguishing as it stalked from shadow to shadow, aiming to catch the next one by surprise without immediately devouring it.

[Knightwing64]

? ? ?

Find land, eat some fish as a snack while I search.

[Glass]

? ? ?

It pounced on the hopping thing and consumed it, before snatching the things in the air out of it and eating them too.
Then it looked up, tried to see into the distance. Space bends as the distant horizons draw much nearer. Maybe one of them has a better promise of food? Or a promise of better food? Something to eat!

Eating is good. Probably.
At the very least they very feel like they should eat, and they know that not eating is bad, because it's making them feel bad.

[Knightwing64]

? ? ?

Upon further inspection, there appears to be some sort of landmass nearby with organic life forms. I check it out and hope to find some help and information
