the winged fly ~~ tag Alice

Hearing about snakes moving without legs made Alice chuckle a little. "I grew up in a part of the world where alligators sometimes freely wander round golf courses and towns. If you're near a body of water don't be surprised to see them" she replied before she took off carefully. She was small in body but her wings were powerful enough to lift most people. She used her arms to hold him more securely so they had a double insurance policy during this flight.

"Snakes don't have feet but humans and oddities come from the same species. We do have to share a planet but other humans are much more of a threat to them" she mused and flew up to where she seen the carvings. Then turned slightly so he could see them with her flashlight.

"The only difference is our powers which can be used for good, evil or indifference. Someday we'll have to co-exist rather than humans acting like pitchfork bearing villagers in a Frankenstein movie all the time" she sighed and waited for his reply about what she'd found. She still believed humanity had a chance even with all she'd been through. They just needed to realise they'd be better of together. The dream of a unified humanity seemed to have died with the classic Star Trek series.

Damon might not have seen her return smile as she kept shifting and beating her wings to keep in that safe position away from the grounded serpents. "I don't think snakes play well with anybody" she mused and then added "not a problem Damon. I can keep us here as long as you need". At least with a phone he'd still have light to work with.

So they now had a puzzle piece to think about later on. So what else could it lead to? She'd taken quite a chance on that dangerous floor but had enjoyed it all the same. This night was fun so far.

Now Alice got a chance to muse as the evidence was being recorded. "So lets go over what we have. Your map which led to an ancient structure for starters. There might well be more to find. We also have pirates being here, evidence of water, a viable eco-system, these carved stones and still more mysteries. We still don't have evidence of previous habitation prior to the pirates and a theory about something big going on here in the distant past.

So can I suggest we try and figure out if people lived here before we get too deep in? There could have been a previous civilisation here and that can be enough for now. Then you can figure out your other ideas."

They could always get back here later on once Damon had done his book work and figured more things out. This didn't have to completed in one night. It wasn't like it was Indiana Jones being chased by a Nazi archeology team. She could also help sift the evidence and theories and then they could return.
