Salvador,
Knight of Ignis Empire
Played by Rico

The air was permeated with moisture and the forest was louder than any he had ever ventured through before, but Salvador moved beneath the broad canopy with fascination glittering in his silver-blue eyes as his gaze swept over the flora to fauna of the area. This tropical world was unlike anything the gaunt feline had visited before, and the strangeness of it all was a welcome distraction from the shadows that lurked in the back of his mind which had come calling in his dreams the night before. Dry eyes and heavy limbs were evidence of the fatigue that lingered in him from his restless night, but Salvador was fortunate enough to have a pervasive appetite for both food and exploration to distract him.

The cry of a bird somewhere above his head inspired the lion to pause his advance, and he turned to glance up at where the creature had called. His silver-blue gaze flitted sharply to a nest that rested in the lowest branches of the tree, and immediately his interest was piqued. As he had discovered recently: eggs were yummy and nutritious. He pivoted with a grace that belied the weariness he felt, and, balancing on his haunches, he reached upwards to rest his paws on the branch just a foot away from the nest. He made to peer into it, to see what treasures it might offer, but the mama bird would not relinquish her home so easily. Making good use of what defensive techniques evolution gave her, Salvador was deterred by the sharp stabs of her beak and wild, frenzied flaps of her broad wings.

“Ow, ow, okay!” He sputtered amid her noisy, unhappy protests as she landed several jabs against his snout, and with pointed ears drawn back against his skull he jerked away and returned all four paws to the soft loam of the rainforest floor. He drew a paw to his abused, bleeding snout before turning away with a grunt, a frown wrinkling his expression as he made to continue his exploration of the forest.
