| Skyeels are common near most coastal cities we pass. I had read of them often, and was excited to see them. Most are between 4 and 5 feet long, though I spotted one monster that must have been 9 feet from snout to tail.<br />
They are so graceful and fluid in the air, often accompanied by dozens of tiny spren, flying around them in a swarm as if riding their wakes. The sailors call them "luckspren"--I doubt it is their true name.<br />
How does the creature stay in the air? I noticed some sort of pouch under each wing that deflates as it dives.<br />
They seek fish just below the water's surface, or crabs and rats on the docks, and aren't nearly as graceful on land.
