Sira Talon | Ceramic Petrol Harpy Eagle Art
Sira Talon watched the weather above the Ceramic Reach from a tower built for patient observation. The harpy eagle could spot a torn cloud edge long before the town's instruments registered a change. Her layered white mantle and petrol suit belonged to public duties, but she trusted a clear notebook more than an impressive uniform.

The story of Sira Talon
A fictional story inspired by the artwork.
One afternoon, a cloud stopped moving directly above the western orchard. Its shadow remained fixed even after sunset. Sira recorded the wind from several heights and found that the surrounding air was behaving normally. Something inside the cloud, rather than the weather around it, was holding it still.
From the tower, she saw a small roof enclosed in vapor. It resembled an old lookout station destroyed by a storm, complete with a flag that had never been lowered. The cloud was preserving the last watch of a keeper whose final report had not reached the town.
Sira retrieved the surviving report from a flooded archive and read it aloud beneath the orchard. It described the storm plainly, including the places the keeper had been unable to protect. The townspeople listened without asking the account to become a story of perfect courage.
The flag lowered as dawn touched the trees. The cloud thinned into ordinary rain, and the orchard's shadow began moving again. Sira entered the report into the tower's current records, where its limits remained visible beside its achievements. Her next watch began with an open window and a fresh page.
