Disky
Saja a special place, and one I had planed to live in, but the houses never became rentable, Hint, hint! So it remains a visiting spot, a tourist attraction of a forgotten way of life, of lost dreams and broken hopes, yet once it must have been more, if only in the mind of its There Creator and designer,
For its creator, it was a place for a community alive with dragons and other air creatures of all sorts that people could ride and play with, my design and approach to the challenge came from this vision of between what is, and what could have been, and what may yet be, no one lives in Saja, yet the hope it might still happen live in the signs which states "coming soon" and the houses that may someday be rentable. This is the story behind my creation; my model for this event is Schoolmom.
My Saja outfit is for a young girl who works in the sky city dragon hatchery, training young dragons and their handlers, and tending the eggs, in the finale days somewhere between when the city was a thriving living place and what it is now, I chose style maker top for the glove feature with latte skin and rolled bottoms with pockets I love the look but couldn't test it as I've never made one before and couldn't find a match to test it in world, so to be sure it would be right I switched to raves bottom with pockets which also had the look I wanted, the pocket were very important to the design as she needed them for her work, the crystals had to be functional as well as a add a decorative look to her outfit. The shoes versatile I picked Cuban heels letting her switch from raves to high boots as needed I love to mix and match my outfits, and the top in Latte will be available in all skin tones. Come enter into the Saja of the past as it might have been, and my hope for its future.
You see a young girl with latte skin, her hair braided to keep it from blowing into her face by the wind, she's wearing a summer working outfit in warm Saja colors, mini orange blouse, and brown tooled leather vest with cap sleeves, The blue crystals inlaid through out her outfit are enough to power all her equipment and have power to spare you think with envy, even her boots have a crystal, wondering if she has any spare crystals she could give you, you walk closer, her long leather gloves fumble for the straps to her crystal studded leather rave pants leg, and the two side saddlebag pockets, as you approach she gets them open and you see she is transporting dragon eggs, and one of the one of the dragon eggs has started to hatch, fascinated you step closer, startled she looks up, and you quickly ask if she has a spare crystal she could give you.
" Newbie huh, first day? Sorry cant give you any crystals. You'll have to buy your own, it's just not allowed, I can lend you my spare air boat if you need transportation.”
She points to the Airboat beside her, as you quickly grab it's line, she continues to speak,
"They call me schoolmom cuz I teach the new hatchery workers on my days off, are you staying or passing through? We need new blood, new workers who aren't afraid of a little hard work, and hard times cant last forever, The sky city almost deserted now, most of the oldest houses are vacant, whole families gone away, so you've got your pick of places to crash, where did they go? Searching for the birds and other air creatures I guess, you see, every winter all the birds and other air creatures fly through the star portal into spring time in the else where, only the main portal leading to the pathways was damaged during the winter storms and they cant get back, most of the people have gone to find new paths to the springtime place to rescue them and bring them home, no, not everyone some stayed at first then, well, they got spooked by the silent empty sky. I've heard some even moved to the ground if you can believe the rumors. I don't, not me, I been down there, once fell off a young dragon I was training, strap broke, my fault the new groomer was a newbie. I should have double checked his work, always check your own equipment I say, anyway its all dirt and sand with a few seedling sky pods growing in the dirt and way to young to give enough food and sap for more then a few to survive on, why by the time there big enough to support a family they've broken free and floated up here, so why go down there at all, for water? Oh yeah, there’s a lot of that down there, but it's undrinkable. The dragons like it though, to bathe in. Me I've got the hatchery to take care of, thank god we had the eggs or we'd have lost all the dragons too, as long as there are dragon eggs they'll be dragons again and in a year or so more dragon eggs to tend. I've got to get these to there new home, the little guy will be hungry. It was nice meeting you hope you stay.”
Grabbing the hatched dragonett from it's broken shell and checking the other egg she hurries off to the hatchery.
As you watch her leave, you look around the almost deserted City.( Do you see the possibilities for anyone willing to stay and work? To help being back life here or do you see only a dying city, and keep passing through?) Jumping in the airboat you take off, maybe you'll look around some more, and then decide.
