MUZE;
She tugged her makeshift skins jacket around her as the cool breeze pulled it away from her. It pulled her hair too, curly and unruly – Muze gave up trying to tuck it behind her ears and let the few crazier pieces whip in front of her face. Her eyes were fixed on the oceanic horizon where the half of the sun was sinking behind. The shadows became long and everything within the light’s touch, including Muze’s dark brown gaze that watched it.
Her muscles ached from the long day of work. She took a deep breath in closing her eyes momentarily as she tried to numb her brain from the mindless work of chopping, de-scaling, and preparing the slimy fish for trade. While she had mostly done the chopping part of the assembly line today (one of her least favorite tasks) and even though she had traded off arms through the day, both ached terribly. “Oh, someone come and take me away from this place.” She muttered, as if she could wish upon the light on the horizon that was slipping away from view. There was a popping noise and soon after a familiar scaly weight landed on her shoulder as gently as the fire lizard could.
Coyli, while coy around all other people, was not to shy with Muze. She had been at first, even after she had impressed with the little green fire lizard, but now the lizard sought Muze at every moment she could find her alone. Muze even suspected the green lizard watched her through her workdays, and her suspicions were confirmed one day when she showed her images of herself doing tasks that day. Now though, she sent her images of flight; what their home looked like from above.
“Thank you Coyli.” She whispered, opening her eyes and looked over from the corner of her eyes to see the narrow and silhouetted face of her lizard looking back at her inquisitively. She seemed to understand when she was unhappy about being ‘here’ but didn’t quite understand ‘where’ exactly Muze wanted to be. So, the sensitive green would show her places around the island (or, she assumed they were the island) to try and make her happy. The aerial images were her favorite. They almost gave her a sensation like she was falling; her hands and tips of her fingers would get numb and prickly.
She hugged herself tighter, stretching her arms to relieve the tension in them. Of course, she wasn’t unhappy, it was just after long boring days that she often dreamed of other places and dragons. Coyli settled closer around her neck, nuzzling her face with her whirling faceted eyes reflecting the last bit of orange light in the sky.
“Well… I should probably get back before it gets too dark, what do you think?” She said in a quiet tone, eying her lizard from the corner of her eye again. Coyli made a few noises; none that made Muze think that she agreed with her. She chuckled. “Fine, a little longer then, but I need to sit.” Crusty ocean rocks littered the beach, she quickly found one that seemed the most flat and sat down, using her hands to hold her lizard in place as she sat. The last thing she needed was the fire lizard to think she was losing her balance and dig her talons into her in fright.
