Small, ebony wings worked furiously against the rushing island winds as the one and only Prince Komali soared gracefully in the cerulean skies. Clenched in his beak was a freshly picked, fuchsia flower; it's petals radiating spring beauty. The Prince flapped once again as Dragon Roost Isle came into view. A gentle smile played across his face as he heard the first gentle plucking of Medli's harp. As he neared the island, Medli appeared on the edge of the cliff face; harp in hand, fingers dancing across it's metallic surface. Komali extended his back legs and grasped onto the cliff, his wings folding back into his sides. Medli continued to play, but turned to him and smiled in recognition. Komali sighed as he removed the flower from his beak, nothing but the sweet songs of Medli's harp could render him so calm. As the final pitches faded into the wind, Medli strapped the harp to her back and put her hands on her lithe hips.

"And just where, have you been Prince Komlai?" She said playfully, a smile gracing her small face. Komali grinned and held out the flower to his friend.

"I wanted to thank you... For helping me get my wings." He motioned towards his sun-kissed feathers, some ruffled as he stretched his arms. Medli grinned and took the flower from Komali's extended fingers.

"You shouldn't thank me. It's my job as your attendant. And besides, Link was the real savior." She pulled the petals to her heart and gazed at it lovingly. "The flower is really pretty though. Thank you."

Prince Komali's face fell slightly, but he smiled still. A strong breeze hinted with the salty smell and taste of the ocean fell around them and ruffled the feathers on both pairs of wings. The sun radiated in the mid-afternoon sky and left a warm smile on the ground beneath it. A pair of seagulls soared swiftly across the sky and tousled Medli's hair as they flew past. A giggle escaped her lips and she patted the flower with her small hand.

"I should continue my practice. You... Can stay, and listen if you want." She murmured hesitantly, a nervous note tingeing her vocals. Komali's grin returned and he sat on the cool surface of the cliff.

"I'd be honored." He said gently as Medli pulled out her golden-skinned harp. The suns rays shone on it's surface, and Medli's fingers began to dance. Slowly at first, adjusting to the new tune she played. The sweet notes of the strings surrounded both Rito Tribe members as the song floated up and around the island. Komali hummed lightly to the tune, it's serenity relieving him of any and all stress. Perhaps, even though he was a prince, and Medli was in fact his attendant, they could remain friends until the notes of the harp were long forgotten in the memories of both.
Yeah, one of my best works.
Enjoy?
