Margo flinched at the whistle and she flinched again as Pawpaw came bounding out from the thick forest, her hair blowing past her shoulders and her eyes screwed shut. She chanced one eye open and watched Zvi whisper something to the dragon. She was glad she was on Pawpaw's good side as they all climbed aboard and began their departure from Cloud Temple.

But then something strange started happening, the sky brightening as the clouds seemed to part ways for something's arrival. The teen squinted, wondering if she had seen something fly down from the hole in the sky or if she was imagining things--based on Zvi's excited command to the Drampa, perhaps she wasn't the only one. And so they flew to the top of Cloud Temple once more and were met with the back of a majestic-looking bird pokemon. 

It was a brilliant crimson color, its feathers glimmering in the sunlight that shone down upon it like a spotlight--the pokemon looked like it was sitting atop its throne in all its glory. Its tail feathers were a vibrant yellow, fading into an almost blinding white color at the tips. The colors on the bird reminded Margo of a campfire she had sat around with her family at one time or another, feeling herself starting to get choked up by this mythical pokemon. She fumbled around with her backpack as she continued staring at the bird, pulling out her pokedex hurriedly, as if she was going to miss this opportunity. Bringing the red square out and attempting to take a picture to get an entry on the pokemon, she sucked in a breath as the bird suddenly turned around. 

Margo's hands dropped, unable to bring herself to look at the bird with anything other than her eyes. The fierce animosity in the bird's eyes was palpable, feeling as if their eye contact was never going to break. But then, it started to fly away from the kids, Margo feeling an overwhelming sense of panic as it started to leave. For a brief moment, Margo felt like she was floundering, like she couldn't survive if she wasn't going to be around this bird. Thankfully Zvi was more focused on following the bird than she would have first thought, quickly launching himself into action and asking Pawpaw to follow the beast.

Margo wrapped her arms gingerly around Zvi like he requested, immediately tightening her grip once Pawpaw began to gain altitude, chasing after Ho-Oh with much more gusto than she had given him credit for. Despite her fear, the teen left her eyes open, looking up at the beautiful rainbow overhead, that panic from before washing away at the serene colors above them. She felt like she was at peace now.

By the time Ho-Oh had lost the teens, Margo was deep in thought with their sighting of the legendary pokemon. She put her pokedex back in her backpack and with a little help getting down from Indy, she said her goodbyes to Zvi and Pawpaw, not many words coming from her in reference to the legendary pokemon. She felt like she would taint the memory if she talked about it so soon, not sure if she really wanted to share her feelings about it right away; Margo was selfish and wished to think on it a bit more for herself first.

As the pair made their way to Zanna town with Zvi's directions, they spent most of their walk in silence. Margo felt as if the two were just getting to know each other all over again now that Dan was gone, unsure of if she should say something about it or not. It was too fresh of a wound, she supposed, but every once in a while she looked over at Indy curiously, wondering if she could find something to say to him that might make him feel better, or perhaps if she should just distract him with her own musings. It was all up in the air for the time being.

However, after an hour of hiking, the duo made it to Zanna Town with all their limbs attached--although Margo felt as if her legs might fall off. [color=mediumseagreen][b]"Man, I think after I'm done hiking around this region I'm going to be a body builder,"[/b][/color] The teen whined her words but secretly thought that having the legs of a kick boxer might be pretty sweet. She took a look around the new town they'd be staying at and looked at Indy expectantly. [color=mediumseagreen][b]"So where to, first?"[/b][/color]
