The Spirit of the Leviathan smashed down into a stretch of The Whispering Valley, a deep ravine that cuts through the Wastes in a sprawling, branching pattern. In some places, it runs wide and shallow, and in others, narrow and deep. Folks joke parts of it are bottomless, but in a way that everyone knows they aren’t really joking. In this case, the Spirit of the Leviathan landed askew, part of it on a shallow northern ledge, and another part crumpled and dangled down a steeper edge into a dark, narrow ravine. Only the expert construction of the ship held the pieces together- for now. Parts threaten to plummet into the valley’s depths.
From the ground, one would need to get right up to the edge to really see the wreckage, however, as most of the wreck rests below the valley edge it remains relatively hidden.
From the sky, however, would be a different question.
Those on the crystal ship, if there are people on that ship, with a good spyglass, could see the wreckage. The sickly trees of the valley must have given it enough cover. The evening light winks from its diamond-like surfaces just as it slips away toward Giacinto and out of view.
And that is when Oril sees the thing in the trees.
Perched on a thick branch, talons wrapped around the wood, hunches a mystical creature. With falcon eyes, a long snout like a wolf, and a body covered in a chaos of purple and blue feathers and claws, with two tails, thin like a rat’s, it scans the area.
The creature is about six feet long, at most. But the wing span, if it has wings in all those feathers, would be much wider.
What does Oril Do?

If you’d like, no pressure, tell us: Why do they call it The Whispering Valley?

What does Oril Do?
OOC:
The intelligent, mystical creature has excellent vision and will spot Oril if he does nothing. 
Oril had just swung back down to the grimy rock from the ruined deck of the Spirit of Leviathan after his exploration into the depths of the wreckage when he notices the mystical beast perched in the nearby tree.
