She wondered if she was imagining things as she looked at the bird, but the more she looked at it, the more she was certain.
It was the bird she had drawn.
"Do you like it? It's called Cal." Abaddon was amused by her awe of the bird.
"Cal?" She turned her eyes from the bird.
"It is a Caladrius, so you can call it Cal. It is a bird that lives in the sun." He laughed.
"I am not a child." Aisling looked at him flatly.
"I am not kidding. It is a legendary bird that was said to live in the sun. It disappears into the sky and comes down when summoned. Of course, I assume it resides in some other dimension that is accessed somewhere in the sky."
Aisling took in the information before she turned away and stepped closer to the bird. Her curiosity regarding her painting and this real bird made her want to know more. She was certain that her painting had a deeper meaning.
Abaddon did not stop her from approaching the bird.
