Wings Unfold by Sysirauta on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Somewhere in the middle of nothing, it silently looked the distant horizon. This place was the land of eternal ice, crystals. It was there, alone. After a long time it made a low creaking voice which echoed from the endless crystal walls: "Erp."

... It's a creature which says "erp". Actually it never says anything else but "erp". Which is - after all - very good achievement without any vocal cord.
This thing is (once again) a postcreated creature... It's a size of a cheetah, friendly as a housedog, curious as a housecat and more dangerous than a hippopotamus. Floating things remark its powers, but it lacks intelligence. It's mentally just an animal - something what you get while mixing a dog, a cat and a rabbit. And a voice "erp".
By time this one has been a pet for many people who 1) see it 2) can hadle it right. It's friendly, okay, but its powers cause problems... You should never surprise it, because sudden launch of rusty looking metal cross swords of its wings (spontaneous reaction) is deadly. Secondly, it can do heat control so it can absorb a huge amount of heat to itself, thus freezing near environment, or release it less or more fast so it can burn something down. ... And finally, if you want be alone a while, tell it that here's a door and here are walls and you can not walk through them like a ghost. Because it does that if it doesn't know it's impossible. <_<'
...About floating parts... You can move your hand (or something else) through empty spaces but if you try take something, like its tailtip sphere, it acts like it was clearly attached into the rest of the creature...

Erp. This thing suddenly appeared into my mind during the time I couldn't sleep... <.< I like it, it looks like somebody has made a skeleton without knowing the fact it needs some muscles to move itself. And floating parts for the win. |3

[It lived too long to have any specified name. It just have long ears, shiny skeletal outlook, floating wings and tail and mane, and it says "erp"... It's not easy to keep a strange magical pet but at least it knows more tricks than a common hamster.]
