Tranquil 3 [Osaka/Nasale/Sitka]

Once the member of the Caregivers felt satisfied over the three at least attempting the process with the crystals, they would rise to their feet. The pink and tan haedian shaking themselves off. “As I said, it doesn’t come easy to everyone. But I hope this introduction to the process helps you all out in the future! Using these crystals to heal can be quite helpful in a pinch.”

The three vayron would open their eyes once the teachings seemed over. “I’m sure it will come in handy later, thank you.” Sitka would be the one to tell them at first. 

Osaka and Nasale each give a simple nod and “thank you” as well to the Caregiver member.

The pink and tan headian would pause to look at Pyrri before giving a silent response back. The moves were only slightly more familiar to the three vayrons by now. But to them it seemed like they were being talked about in some form. They were only taught the basics of it, so the complex stuff in between was still unknown to them. But it had been a start nontheless. 

When they seemed finished discussing the three vayrons, the pink and tan haedian would wave them on. “Follow me… I’ll take you to witness one of our many ceremonies. Once it begins I’ll ask the three of you to remain silent throughout so as to not disturb the process.” 

This felt like some form of a test to Osaka, teach them the mere basics of a silent communication then immediately take them to see something in which they weren’t allowed to be verbal during. The male would give an understanding nod along with his brother and sister-in-law. Soon following the haedian onwards to another section of the Tranquil territory. 

Their path led them to another larger meditation-like zone. Only this one was decorated with candles and some tapestries among other bits and bobs. Some other Caregivers were already waiting for them within the room. The group would be instructed silently to sit on some pillows, Nasale, Sitka and Osaka would do as directed. 

The moment they did so some caregivers would cover a couple of the crystals with blankets to make the area more dim. They clearly wanted a more mysterious atmosphere for the ceremony. Some of those blankets were croched in a way so that stars of light would appear on the ceiling. 

The Tranquil would seem to do a silent play. Moving and gesturing like they were explorers coming into the caves for the first time. Their silent dance was expressive with their whole bodies, but not a sound uttered. Another member would enter the scene, standing confidently on the far side of their ‘stage’. The three varons could only hazard a guess that this was the Matriarch or some other important figure to them.

A couple headians dressed in dark attire to make themselves barely noticeable, would pull some magic from the crystals. Bending the magic to make it look like their confident figure was creating haedians. Then the haedians would bow to the figure in a sign of respect. 

Surely this scene they were being shown didn't actually happen. It had to be an exaggeration. Maybe just simply their personal beliefs on why they worship the Matriarch. But even despite these doubts on the truthfulness, Osaka, Sitka and Nasale would watch silently. Their eyes followed every movement they made.

Their grand ending was their confident figure being encased in crystal. Maybe to symbolize something they didn't yet know about. Or perhaps this was their way of saying the Matriarch was heavily guarded. In any case the three vayrons knew they'd figure it out eventually.

With the ending through and the performers bowing, the three vayrons would make a gesture as if they were clapping but didn't want to risk making a sound yet. They were after all told to keep silent during the display and weren't exactly told they could speak yet. 

The crystals would have the blankets be removed off of them. This lighting up the area once more and the performers headed out. Only for the pink and tan haedian to return. “So how'd you like it?”

“That was lovely, thank you for sharing that with us.” Nasale would be the one to say.

“Do you do this often?” Osaka would ask softly.

“We do this for special occasions. During our bigger ceremonies sometimes even other clans will participate with their own stories.” Would be the answer he'd receive. 

“Well you do nice work.” Sitka would chime in with. 

Though it wouldn't be long before the haedian was walking them through the territory and telling them the path to the Druids space. Which they clearly shared some forest space with. They would each thank the member for their help before they would be on their way again.
