August Flight
"In the waning days of summer, a heaviness settles upon the Cormorant’s heart. It feels the subtle shift in the wind’s embrace, a whisper that speaks of distant lands and impending farewells. The once familiar shores, painted with memories of fleeting companionship and sunlit flights, now evoke an ache as they stand on the threshold of abandonment. Once ablaze with vitality, the Cormorant’s feathers mirror the fading hues of the setting sun as if echoing the sadness that courses through its veins, and as it gazes upon the horizon, a sense of inevitability weighs upon its wings, an ancient rhythm that runs through its being, reminding it that the time for departure draws near. The journey towards distant realms must soon commence." – RDA
