After the meet with Ma'Ten the Schrykes were told to wait outside the village while the village guard would go get their most renowned artist.
The Med'Ja artist was a shy and small, but very curious and had bright eyes.
His name was Chi'Co and he jumped waringly on the back of Gamay-u as they prepared for takeoff. They would split of 3 for the Vault and 7 for the Trades that were to be made with the Holnareem.
She felt his grasp tightening. He was pulling her feathers so hard it hurt. She commanded him to calm down, but her harsh schriek made the grasp even firmer. Landing at the Vault Chi'Co eagerly rocketed to the ground and layed there for a while while the Schryke were setting up his equipment.
"This place gives me such a rush!" Chi'Co cried out, rolling over the ground in joy.
The Schrykes were getting annoyed for it was improper conduct to not immediatly start a task.
Gamay-u told Chi'Co to start.
He stood up on a rock, with his pencil in front to gauge distance and proportions He started sketching, often demanding that the Schryke took him up high to inspect the close detail of the surface of the vaultdoor.Continuously flying Chi'Co up and down until the sun had set and they made camp for the night. The moons were bright, the schryke were silent or on guard and Chi'Co was singing a Med'Ja folk song.
Chi'Co had had a rush of a day, he had been very scared on top of the rude birds yet here, in this desolate forgotten place, at the edge of the sphere of influence from the relic, he had felt clearer than ever. His art was less artistic and more precise. He could spot more details and draw them as he perceived them. He looked up at the magnificent Vault door. He almost knew the patterns, he had been drawing them all day, he got even confident enough to start drawing fragments while high up in the sky. He noticed the Blue of the First Moon of Gaea gave certain shine and shadow to the door he hadn't seen before. He set up a second pane and paper to draw the Blue moon Version of the door.
The Schrykes had noticed the vigor of the little Med'Ja, and they appreciated his continued effort to fulfill his command. When hovering over the lost city they too spotted the changes this night brought.
3 sunrises passed before Chi'Co was sufficiantly pleased with both of his drawings and the Schrykes brought him back home where he could tell of what he had seen to his friends in the taverns.
Pomar-E and Rill-a looked eagerly over the sketches. They had become a little round for they were pregnant. They told Gamay-u that the Indominable would take these drawings to the Stone of Knowledge to try and unravel it's mysteries.
