Giant manta raised from the depths off Africa by ships anchor. Crew members unknowingly snared a manta ray in the anchor lines from their vessel and hoisted it up. The manta ray had a wing span of 30 feet!
It is this type of ray that I envision Sabin to be riding. The Meridians are Ray Riders and Sabin's Grammy, Lady Em, was one of the best of them!
The Meridians often paint their rays with alizarin war paint, creating intricate patterns. Such as the silver diamond back or green waves arching across mighty wings. The painted rays were inspired by Indian war horses.
