The skies were clear, the sun was shining, it was quite a juxtaposition to the kind of craziness Katherine had to endure getting to the relatively remote island. The young adult sat next to her aircraft, landed in a meadow, resting against the warm aluminum body enjoying the calm weather. Any other day Katherine would have taken this opportunity to practice some maneuvers she had been toying around with in her head, but after such a long and tiring journey, a day or two of rest was all she wanted for now.
Only a day or so earlier had the arrived at the rural community of Krukow. Her arrival in the makeshift, homegrown machine she called a plane was a slightly eventful one, as the island's small community wasn't exactly used to strange looking aircraft suddenly landing in their cleared fields. Though with Katherine's trademark genuine open friendliness, the farmer whose field she had landed in didn't mind her presence. He hadn't planted anything in that particular field nor was planning on doing so any time soon. Katherine had learned a bit about the island, but not a whole lot. The girl had only just flew out of a storm just to get to the place for some rest.
Her pet Kulca, Ava, nudged at her arm, eventually pushing it aside so it could stretch itself across her lap. "Hey, shouldn't you be flying about and enjoying this weather?" Katherine inquired to her pet, now lazily sunbathing on her lap. Ava only gave a shrug of her wings in response before continuing its nap. Katherine simply sighed, muttering about how her lazy pet had simply slept through the whole storm anyway.
Suddenly, a low rumble permeated through the air. Katherine opened her eyes and quickly stood up, causing poor Ava to roll off her into the grass with a surprised squeak. "Whoa...." A large freighter airship glided overhead on what looked like a one way ticket to the ground. "Wow, that's a older design with..... no way... it couldn't be! Come on Ava, we gotta go see where that landed!" she said quickly dashing off in the direction the airship went with Ava flying in annoyed pursuit.
