The Kalil family palace was bustling with people donned in their finest silks and jewelry as they flooded into the halls to attend the birthday of the oldest son of the family. The palace was a bold statement of the family's wealth and love for luxury; truly sight to behold with its cream white stone, with turquoise and gold rooftops; elaborate windows engraved with filigree lattice and open terraces with flowing satin curtains. From the patterned floors designe...

Xayah's new, potentially temporary role in the Druids clan was established. Each day, she was guided to the Oracle to tend to the ancient tree and the area around it, the vayron finding a routine of her own to stick to so the time didn't drag by too terribly. Not that it truly drug on at all, if she were honest. The gravity and honor behind being able to tend to the Oracle was not lost on her at all. It was a vital part of the Druids and their culture, where only specific members of the clan ...

"Xayah, when you finish what you are doing, come with me." Cailu instructed, having come up beside the vayron while she was lost in her task of pruning and tending the plant under her scrutiny. Something that effectively startled Xayah and made her jump in surprise, nearly dropping what was in her paws. "Nothing bad, don't worry. The Druids have simply taken note and appreciation of you tending to their plants." Xayah blinked at Cailu, kind of... surprised, really. Simply working on so...

Xayah felt no form of comfort as the expedition group followed Cailu from the Tranquil's territory. There was nothing blatantly obvious on why she should feel so uneasy, but perhaps the aid she received from Pyrri was wearing off already. Though, it wasn't over a specific person or group this time from what she could tell, but simply the act of leaving. Her gifted crystal was nestled safely in her bag, a comfort of sorts that she hadn't expected to have. Hadn't expected to need....

Xayah was feeling rather content and happy when she finished painting. Proud of her work, and greatly enjoying the way she'd been painted by the others too and the creativity they displayed on her hide. There was very little on her that didn't have paint in some way, the runner basically a beacon of bright, glowing colors. Cislunar wasn't quite as covered, his deep blue serving as a much needed pop of dark color against the pale and warm ones used.  As vayrons and haedians a...

Their display and distraction to keep the focus off of Xayah as she ran around only worked for so long. Eventually, the round ended and the remaining contestants got themselves situated for the next round. It would likely be harder to do the same trick again on these ones, so Xayah hung back with Cislunar to make sure their pile was situated and not spread out and easy to grab. "These will be tougher opponents than before," Cislunar warned as he helped move the gold, his focus scanning...

"Paints?" Xayah asked, looking at Ornaax with open curiosity. Her time learning with the Watchers had been wonderful, so she was rather interested in another painting experience with the glowing paints. There may even be a history or cultural lesson for her to absorb, to learn and keep close so she could have a greater understanding of what made this clan tick. Of how the clans all fit together. "Yes! Our clan is renowned for its beauty and brightness, and our paints are just as radian...

Xayah wasn’t too keen on what she was continuing to see in regards of these clans. First the Forgotten, and now the Brutes. They were hardy, but rough around the edges and not as keen on outsiders entering their clan. A common theme they were to face, if Xayah had to guess. “Did Cailu say anything else before he disappeared? Where exactly did he go?” One of the others asked, looking around for their guide. “He is speaking with the clan leader, Zarod. Apparently there may...

It seemed they were going to be in another clan of bioluminescence, if the continued glowing plants was anything to go off of. Nothing Xayah would complain about, of course. She was still feeling very content and happy after her time with the Watchers, her hide still bearing some of the glowing paints that Eleanor brushed onto her. So seeing a territory that was predominantly glowing plants and crystals? Well, she enjoyed it quite a bit already. "I wonder what kind of clan awaits us he...

Xayah hadn't been able to rest. Whatever sleep she'd gotten was filled with dark shadows, the smell of acrid metal filling her lungs. Haedians clad in dark iron with black and red robes haunted her dreams. Made a sense of danger consume her, even as she rested. The vayron was exhausted come morning, to say the least. Exhausted and confused. The only interaction she'd had with someone who bore those clothes was Ke'lal, and he hadn't uttered a single word to her. Though... the way he looked at ...

"You study magic, yes?" Xayah's attention shifted from the paste she was working on mixing, instead focusing on a soft looking haedian of pinks and lilacs who had his head tilted in obvious curiosity with his question. "I do. Whether or not I'm successful at it is another matter entirely, though. Why?" Xayah asked in response, setting her bowl of sorts down so she could turn to face the clan member. Her tail wound neatly around her paws, gold clinking as she tilted her head in t...

The Caregivers immediately rushed to both Xayah and Cislunar's pools once they closed the visions. Spared the pair the pain of reliving any further past trauma. Already, they'd both feel mentally and emotionally raw. Would be mentally drained in ways neither had likely experienced before. Gentle care and comfort would be needed in excess after this. Xayah emerged from the water with a splash, all but clawing her way out of the liquid in a frantic scramble to get away. From wh...

After a while of entertaining the pups and their never ending curiosity, the couple was approached by Khaldor once more. Koru let his magic wane and fade, earning some unhappy ‘aww’s from the youth. Smiling to himself, Koru brouht his attention to the Haedian.  “The young seem positively enamored by your show of the surface. And I admit us older generations have been keeping a keen ear on your presentation as w...

"We're lucky they agreed to a compromise." Xayah mused aloud as she helped repair fishing nets. A tedious, mind numbing job and one that was incredibly time consuming. Apparently these were ripped when the group had come to steal the night before, so it only made sense that they also had to fix them. Not far from her and the others was Cislunar, the guard helping with the processing and quartering of various kills. It was a messy task but he, like the others, was not about to complain ...

Koru smiled as Xayah explained along. Her gestures and expressions, so passionate and excited to teach the Haedians. When it came to Koru's turn to speak, he used his magic to display visions to the minds present in the discussion. Visages of the temples, libraries, even caves that he'd found in his travels. Each brimming with knowledge of their own. Records, teachings, journals, everything.  "On the topside, there a...

"They are indeed! Would you like to go see the murals?" Eleanor asked, her head tilting with her curiosity and eagerness to continue to show Xayah around. "I can explain some of the history and significance behind many of the pieces, if you'd like. Though, I admit, some are simply for fun and the enjoyment of depicting the cosmos above us." Xayah returned the eager smile, always a sucker for anything and everything kn...

"You're rather… bright, but I'm sure we can make the clothes and silver work on you. It'll make you pop in all the right ways, I'm sure." The haedian who'd escorted Xayah to their den said, eyes sparkling as they gave her a toothy grin while looking her over and measuring some spots of her body. "You're smaller than me too by a little bit, but that's nothing some well placed p...

"I defended my charge. I did not go looking for a fight, but I retaliated as needed. The attacker will likely only have scars, and his life is under no risk." Cislunar explained, shrugging his bags off as he looked at the Forgotten member who was less than pleased.  And why should they be? Yeah, self defense, but that would be a weak excuse when the hit clan came calling for answers and action. Explanations would need to be given, some way to smooth over the inevitable ruffled feather...
