"I'm a feather in the Storm, watch how I soar..."

And here is (finally) my entry for the 2017, 3rd round. For this third round, we were supposed to draw our contestant's dream... The image I came up with requires a bit of context, so let's get started ^^

Plot
Teodora hails from the (non canon) world of Arashi, the realm of Eternal Storms. Teo grew up, as her mother Nerezza did before her, on stories of Arashi's ancient times, and by far her favorite ones were about the majestic Storm Birds, hawk-like giant birds able to control the Eternal Storms. Ever since she was a little child, Teo loved the stories of the Storm Birds and dreamed of one day seeing and even riding one. One day she asked her mother where the Storm Birds were since she always strained her eyes to try to see them in the storms but she never caught a glimpse of them. Nerezza had to tell her daughter that the Storm Birds had disappeared almost a thousand years before and no one knew what happened to them or why they had gone. With nothing to tame the storms, the people of Arashi developed storm related powers (power of lightning, wind, rain, clouds and even storms) and with the aid of the Storm Stones, round bluish or grey stones with yellow freckles, they were able to manage the Eternal Storms and keep them away from their settlements.

Teo was devastated... for about five minutes till she decided to make it her life long mission to find out what happened to the Storm Birds of olden times. From that moment on, whenever her cousin Sabina and their best friend DeShaun, came to visit, she would set them on a discovery adventure in search of the Storm Birds, even as they rarely made it farther than the woods surrounding her house.

Teodora's childhood dream was to find the Storm Birds. Now, it wasn't just so she could ride one through the Eternal Storms,... though of course she wanted that... But, she wanted to return the entire species to the Arashi Skies and if maybe, just maybe, they would let her and her friends ride on their backs... well, she wouldn't say no.... XD

Now I know this entry may stray slightly from the norm (what's so good about the norm anyways?!), since it's a Childhood Dream and all, but... here's the thing about childhood dreams: One may grow out of them, but they will always occupy a special corner of our hearts, bringing a smile on our faces when we happen to think about them or brighten up our days if we happened to dream upon it one night. Now, I don't know if Teodora will ever realise her Childhood Dream........... but that's not really the point of Childhood Dreams, is it...?

All art above belongs to me
