Solstizio Condor.....

Description

Solstizio Condor once lived in a land where humans and animals mixed freely, creating some of the most beautiful beings the blue planet has ever known. Born with an inability to die, Solstizio has roamed the earth on his own for many thousands of years while those of his kind slowly faded away; you see, humans created a world within a world where the rivers ran dark with impurity and the skies were filled with smoke. The planet soon became a graveyard, littered with the bones of those who died with tar on their wings and soot in their lungs. Solstizio Condor's kind were beautiful but they were also very fragile.

Every year under the midway point of the sun in the summer sky, Solstizio gathers bones of those who passed during the winter and lifts them up to Mother Earth, invoking her kindness and asking her to be patient while humans learn to respect her again. Mother Earth then blesses the bones that Solstizio offers up to her and fills them with a colorful magic; a special place is indicated for each one so that it may then grow into a place of wonder and be a reminder to humans how beautiful the earth is.
