Hot Surprise [1 Oix 4260]

The winds an hour before dawn were cool autumn winds, scented with wet leaves and distant rain. At dawntime the winds howled hot, at the same that cley was refreshed. Within an hour the city smelled of hot moss, summertime grass, garbage just started to get toasted.

Everyone else groaned. Hot Surprise is a heavy weight on full mammals, and almost as bad for Herethroy. They rushed into the yard-thick walls of our apartment, and demanded I follow them to cast Sustenoc Airador Pyrador to keep it as cool for as long as possible.

Then I went out skydancing, flying around the city, breathing flame in solidarity with whatever obnoxious air elementals are in charge of knocking the wide straw hats off heat-avoiding Herethroy on their way to the fields with carts of octagonals seed to grow those few, odd crops which only sprout during hot Surprise. My feathers are at home in a bonfire; a bit of hot wind is just a comfort to Me

I don't mind a hot Oix myself...
It beats a cold one, and I just love having an excuse to walk around with next to nothing on ;)
It also gives me a great chance to practice my environmental control and water spells.
And hey, I'm Orren, so there's nothing like a hot surprise to give an orren yet another excuse to swim ;)

Be well, and enjoy the heat Sythyry :)

Trust an Orren to find the wettest, most fun way to deal with any trouble there may be!

Well I can think of a couple things that are just as wet and more fun, but I don't mention them for the sake of common decency ;)

Feathers

I assume the feathers are in the fire just as decoration, as Zi Ri resist flame, do they not?

[Sythyry has feathers! Look at the cool portrait that
Lady Melicanthe ky Hybrasil

did of zir, a section of which is shown above.
Zi Ri can in general have feathers; see p.42 of the World Tree book, under "Variations".
You are right, Sythyry's feathers are fireproof because they're part of a Zi Ri.

You are much too chipper about hot Oix.
