An excerpt from the chapter:

“Hello! I’m Mumbo.”

The tall lanky creature stood before Grian, bug eyes petrifying through him with a sort of kind look to those brown pupils. Mumbo leaned backward to pull the lenses off of his eyes, revealing the normal sized orbs beneath with a slim face and a button nose, almost like Scar’s. Tufts of white and red fur lined the man’s sideburns, blending into the black hair on his head. Antenna waves around curiously, examining the air. Grian thought he’d looked similar to what Alerion described as a vampire, with a white streak running through the man’s strands.

So the silliness ensued.

Grian smiled the moment he shook hands with Mumbo, their conversation flowed so naturally it was rather comical how well they’d bonded.

An excerpt from the chapter:

As the month passed, Grian slowly grew accustomed to his prosthetic.

After crash landing into Bedeyl—more specifically Scar’s house—and barely getting out of the wreckage in one piece, the Lydian assumed that he’d be flightless forever. Avians like him needed at least four wings to fly, and the crash left him with three. Scar was kind enough to let him stay and nurse him back to health, but each day was a constant reminder that he was now bound to the ground beneath him. He would no longer feel the exhilarating sensation of the cool breeze against his face as he dipped in the skies and flew above the clouds.

It was a painful reality to accept, especially for an avian like him, but Grian was ready to take on his new life as a flightless bird.

That was, until Scar walked into the bedroom after a long day of work and a fresh shower—and a protesthic. A new wing. His fourth wing.

Grian would hate to admit it out loud, but he did cry in Scar’s arms. He cried some more after he looked at himself in the mirror, because there he was. No longer a flightless bird. No longer a three-winged avian that was cursed to trek the lands instead of soaring through the air, where he belonged.

Summary: Grian has always dreamed of being a pilot, and one day he ends up meeting his life-time co-pilot from a neighbouring planet—by crashing into his house. After meeting Scar, he is thrown into a life of adventure.

Solar Event is an annual event that Grian needs to win.

An excerpt from the chapter:

Something had gone wrong. Truth be told, he had absolutely no clue what—One minute he had successfully done a hyper space run, jumping from the atmosphere of Lydax into the dusty stratosphere of the planet covered in holes. While it was not the best to fly around inside of, the outside was vast and spacious—Grian just wasn’t aware of the dust storms from the mountains and how harsh they could be. They must’ve clogged his thrusters and piled in the main OMS engine, and as a result, auto-locked on Grian.

“Shoot!” He yelled, the feeling of exasperation catching up to him faster than he was prepared for. He felt it in the middle of his chest first, before the pressure expanded rapidly, and the panic began to muster.

“Okay. Okay okay okay, this is fine. Emergency brake, emergency brake,” He muttered to himself as he forced his body forward. The cloud of dust was there for a mere few seconds before it wasn’t, revealing a very distant object that gleamed in the distance. Grian couldn’t make it out, nor did he have any interest to do so in the moment. He’d probably miss it anyways, with his level of elevation—so he chooses to focus on finding the emergency brake.

The worldbuilding, the characterisation, the interactions, EVERYTHING OMG ITS PURE GOLD

I will never get bored of rereading and rereading it grhwjhahshdhdhdhdhd
