Shaman Toki STAGE: Feral Drakein BREED: Kiandri PATH: Civilian A note for all of you: Toki does not roll nor do you include him in your EXP calculations! He merely rp's helping out and gets orbs.
Erionda sighed as she stepped off the boat onto the docs of Taliuma. Shifting the weight of her oddly silent daughter, Erionda was pleased Casseth didn't seem require as much shifting as her wiggly daughter. Checking to make sure Lilith's hood protectively covered her daughters features and glancing back to Uassae and Lanzecki as they pulled up beside her. It had been a very long time since she was forced to step onto the burning sands of Eowyn. The need to hunt dragons was pressing firmly on her, and while she had managed to keep from hunting for a while. She could no longer just sit around, not now that she had children to look after. Thankfully she was now able to hunt with Kilian again and they were now able to go together as a family. Her body warmed at the thought. This was a dream come true for her, a family of her own.
Walking away from the ships Erionda winced at the hot dry wind that welcomed her. Grateful for the thin blue cloak hanging around her shoulders. At least that would offer her some protection against the sun. She didn't dare use her magic to keep herself cool. Not when Lilith and Casseth were still young and fragile. She couldn't risk causing her children harm.
Lanzecki took to the sky with ease as he surveyed the land. I can still locate it with ease. Shouldn't be too far away.
With a slight nod Erionda's attention turned to Amadai and Kilian. Blushing as she caught her mates figure not far away. Walking towards her mates bonded she gave a nod. "I'm putting him here." Dropping to her knees she lowered the sleepy girl to the sandy ground before checking to make sure her son was awake enough to hold onto Amadia.
Once sure that Casseth was sitting properly Erionda then turned to her pouting daughter. Pulling the hood back now that they were safely away from prying eyes. Her lips turned up with a smile as her mismatched eyes settled on her child's pouting and sleepy face. Brushing a lock of hair way from Liliths cheeks. There was something dangerously subtle about the small girl and the way she could manipulate just about anyone however she wanted.
Lilith blinked slowly and rubbed her eyes with an exaggerated yawn. Her feet scuffing in the sand as she stumbled forward a little. Her hands outstretched as her fingers moved into fists and out again. Moving her way towards Kilian with deep determination. "Papa. UP." She demanded stumbling into the sand with her unsteady feet.
Erionda found herself skyward as Lanzecki's shadow passed over head. She always felt a little jealous the way Lilith always wanted her father. But she had to relent to the child's wishes, even if she herself wanted Kilian to notice her. Quickly taking the given opportunity of her now empty arms, Erionda let her magic spread over her skin. Giving her a welcome relief from the heat, if nothing else. She could always just strip down her clothing, right?
As always Lanzecki was caring her sword and shield for emergency purposes, lately though, Erionda had grown to rely more on her magic than on her weapon. Even Aeduan dragons had a hard time against her when in an angry mood. Behind her Uassae pranced along, unable to take to the air because he had insisted he be allowed to guide the new Aiskalan Hastar through the caves. There was a thick lead rope tied around his neck that was connected to the pale colored youngling trotting away behind him.

Kilian watched as Erionda moved with the twins, watched how she held each of them close - protectively. He smiled as he turned back to Amadia and quickly made sure all the bags and such were strapped on her well. He turned as Erionda approached, his smile broadening as he watched his children and mate.
Casseth wiggled his feet as his mom sat him down onto Amadia’s back and giggled when the drakein bounced slightly. He leaned forward, patting her on the neck and then wrapping his arms around her and giving her a hug before sitting back up. “Go,” Casseth managed to garble out as he sat back up and gripped hold of the straps that held the bags to Amadia’s side.
Kilian’s attention turned to his daughter as she stumbled her way over to him, grabbing at the air to let him know she wanted him to pick her up. He chuckled quietly as he bent and scooped her up, catching Erionda’s gaze as he straightened back up. He held his daughter on his hip, placing a quick kiss to her cheek before turning to his mate. His arm snaked around her shoulders and he felt the cool sensation ripple over her skin from her magic. Kilian leaned in, placing a kiss to her lips and getting a giggled response from out of Casseth.
He pulled back away from her, arm still draped over Erionda’s shoulder. Kilian shook his head and chuckled himself. He bounced Lil lightly as he looked up to the sky at Uassae. “So, the dragon caves, right?” he asked as his attention moved back to Erionda. “Can you find your way back? I’m not sure I remember how to get there.” His nose wrinkled up as he tried to remember the exact location. It had been so long since they had gone through and Kilian had never been able to find it again after that one time through.

Toki was returning to Eowyn after his wandering trip to Soudul and Serenia. He'd had no luck finding someone who had shaman potential, but it wasn't a completely wasted trip. As he rode the thermals above the coast lines, his two fairy dragon friends lying upon his back taking a snooze, he sensed another Drakein below him, one with the odd lack of magic that marked a bonded. Curious as to what this one was doing, he flew down to talk. He gave a rumbled greeting to let the other know he was coming down towards him. "Good day to you, young one."
Posted: Wed Jan 08, 2014 1:15 pm
Eowyn wasn't the most hospitable place for a Ysali but it was a place that Junjie found himself quite often. This most recent trip being because he needed a bit, open place for his youngest Drakein to practice with his magic. After an extended time in Aisko they had finally headed back to Ayr, to talk with the sage, to get Arjan some pointers, and now the little one was just in need of practice to figure out the extent of what he could do. Since he and Abellio were bonded they would never be as strong as a feral Drakein but he could at least help them to get as stronger as the bond would allow. There was always hand to hand as well as Toki had proposed.
Junjie was drawn out of his thoughts when he heard a yelp from Abellio, looking over him, then to Arjan, and gave a sigh, "I thought I said no more shocking Abellio." He said, lifting an eyebrow before he gave a flap of his wings which were currently exposed to the sun. Lifting a hand he rested it on his hip before pointing at Arjan, "We didn't teach you magic so that you could tease Abellio." He told him, not wanting to scold the younger Drakein so much but it seemed that he ended up doing so often since he so enjoyed teasing the feathered Keinova so much.
"Fine, fine." Arjan said, giving a flap of his wings, shifting in the sand, gathering more power to him. He'd just have to find someone or something else to zap! He was hopping along through the sands, seeking out something else to give a good shock to, when he caught a familiar scent on the air. He jerked up onto his back legs, looking around, then groaned. No, damn it, them again? While he really had nothing against that particular family he really was a bit grumpy over the fact that they always seemed to pop up during training time! No, no, no! They couldn't be bothered with chatting, not when they were supposed to be... damn... they noticed.
Abellio and Junjie were both looking at the grumbling Arjan, Abellio sniffing at the air before he turned to look at Junjie, "He smells Rio and her family." He explained, knowing it would annoy Arjan for Junjie to know since he would seek them out. He turned to look at the Kiandri, sticking his tongue out at him. That would teach him to shock him for no reason!
"Come on, let's go and see if we can't find them." Junjie said, giving Abellio a pat on the head. He thought about doing the same for Arjan but given he was carrying a charge it might not be a good idea. As he walked along he found himself wondering what it was that Rio and her group were doing in Eowyn, maybe picking up stuff from her old place that she might have left behind? Other then that he couldn't he couldn't think of what might bring them here. Since they were all here he might as well say hello.

Lilith's smile brightened as Kilian scooped her up from the ground. Turning to glance at Casseth before sticking out her tongue in an 'I win' manner. Instantly retracting it as soon as a strange and new companion joined the group. Feeling instantly shy Lilith tried to hide herself in her fathers arms. Unsure of just how to react with something familiar and yet not.
Erionda smiled up at Kilian, reaching out to fluff up Liliths hair. Pulling back to check the strap on Uasse's neck to make sure the Hastar was till firmly attached. Her ears catching the approach of something unfamiliar. The bristle of magic surged along her shoulders. She had no idea where the strange voice had come from and it wasn't near her children.
Lanzecki startled at Toki's approach. Spinning so he could get a better look at the older Feral. "Hello, hi, you're new. HI." He could feel the soft probe from Erionda in search of the creature in the vicinity. "Friend or foe? Do you mean us trouble. She wont take kindly to her babies being threatened."
Before Erionda could attempt to contact Lanzecki a second time Uassae was interrupting her. "Junjie's back again. Everyones with him. Even Arjan!" Uassae seemed to grow exited as he spoke. He loved collecting that Drakein's various emotions. He had so many that were tasty and vivid when he was interacting. Almost like Lanzecki.
Erionda felt herself split in several directions. Lanzecki had found something further ahead but Junjie was in the opposite way. "Then I guess we wait here for him to catch up. Do you think he will want to join us through the cave?" Erionda asked Uassae. Reaching out mentally to Lanzecki. What was taking that one so long to respond.

Casseth's nose wrinkled up as his sister stuck her tongue out at him. He mimicked the gesture, scrunching up his eyes until they were almost shut. He patted Amadia's neck and turned away from his sister, choosing to ignore that she had the attention of their dad at the moment. As Cas sat patting her neck, Amadia's nose twitched. A familiar scent drifted on the air, from the direction that Lanzecki had flown off into. Her head tilted as it finally dawned on her who the scent belonged to. "That's Toki with Lanzecki." She blinked when she received a look for Kilian. "He...helped me with my magic," she said shyly as she looked back to Erionda. "He's harml...well, he's blind and kind. Though I wouldn't say harmless."
Kilian shook his head and looked back to Erionda. "Waiting is fine. It has been a while since we've seen Junjie anyway and I'm sure he'll want to join us." A smile curled up the corners of Kilian's mouth as he held his daughter close and kissed the top of her head. He moved over to Amadia and his son, ruffling his hair and grinned when he got what looked to be a pout and glare combined. Kilian couldn't ask for more. A mate he loved dearly and two beautiful, healthy children. Along with some rowdy khehora he wouldn't trade for the world.

Toki smiled, "Friend, I certainly don't mean harm to you nor any child. Just came to talk. Plus it's not every day I run into bondeds." Toki was sure that she this one refereed to was his bonded. The female has children? How interesting, now I want to go see them. He smelled the air and caught several familiar scents. "Oh my, I seem to have found quite a few of you! Would you like to return to your group? I smell several acquaintance of mine down there." With out waiting for a reply, Toki chuckled and flipped his wings, cruising on down to the ground, making sure to come in slowly and far enough away to not scare the group below. Though he was certain that they would know he was coming. Wonder how Amadia, Arjan and Abellio are coming along on their training? It's been quite a while since I've seen them. They should be mostly grown by now....

Abellio pushed up into the air, grinning down at Arjan who hadn't quite mastered flying yet, before flapping up into the air so that he could get a better look around. After a moment he looked down at where Junjie was standing, "I see them, Jun!" He called down to his bonded, looking quite excited, able to see where the others were from here. His feathered wings flapped before he circled down, joining the two of them once more, "It's not only them, I see Toki as well, Junjie! It's been so long since we've seen him!" Not for some time now, when he and Arjan were younger, so seeing the older guy again was an exciting prospect.
"Really? Then we should probably hurry and join them, hm?" It was an interesting thought, to think that Toki was here as well, what a lucky day for them all. It meant that they would be able to visit with the kindly Drakein as well as Rio and her family. Motioning to the other two he said, "Lead the way, Abellio, you saw where they are exactly. Best that we get to where they are quickly so that we don't lose them."
Giving a nod the Ysali hurried forward, leading the way to where the others were gathering. It didn't take too long before Junjie, Abellio, and Arjan were able to figure out where the others were at. Once close enough Junjie lifted his free hand up, pushing back his hood, before he waved, "Good afternoon everyone!" He called out to them in a friendly manner, his wings giving a little flutter under his cloak before folding them against his back as flat as they could go, "How are you all doing?" He asked, looking between each and everyone of them, giving Lilith and Casseth each a wave as well. "Hello little ones, going on an adventure today, hm?"
Looking over at Rio and Kilian he then said, "I am glad our luck was up and allowed for this meeting, it's been a while." He then turned to Toki and said, "It's good to see you again as well, it's really been too long."

Lanzecki nodded and moved to guide Toki towards the group. "I warn you, the female is protective of her brood. Take it slow and you should be fine. Last time we came across one of you we had problems."
"Juni!" Lilith wiggled free of her fathers arms happy to see Junjie again. Independently wanting to make her own way through the sand towards him. The sudden stop of her mother scooping her up sent her squealing. Why was she being stopped? She pressed her hands firmly against her mother pushing her head as far away from her body as she could.
Erionda's eyes were on the approaching Khehora. As much as she liked the strange species she was more careful around feral's. The last one she had met nearly tried to kill her. She wasn't going to take that chance with this one, not when she had children she needed to protect. Despite Lilith's constant protests, and the slight pain in her heart at the thoughts they wanted nothing to do with her Erionda reached mentally towards the tendrils of her magic. This wasn't a time to be joking about.
"Enough Lilith, this isn't home you need to be careful out here." She scolded her daughter before plopping her down on the back of the young Aisko Hastar. The sturdy mount Junjie had helped her acquire when she was pregnant with Lilith and Casseth. She chuckled at the memory, she had tried to sneak out and he had been smart enough to catch her in the act.
Turning to greet Junjie she waited until he greeted the new feral Khehora. So this one wasn't going to harm her children. Not that she lacked the ability to protect them in such cases she was a strong opponent even for Khehorian's. One their greeting had subsided Erionda folded her arms across her chest. "We're heading to the cave of dragons. I'm burning for a good fight, and they seem the only ones capable of such a feat. If even that..." Erionda left the words hanging as she regarded the Feral Khehora.

Kilian chuckled as he sat his daughter down and watched Erionda scoop her up. The girl was a feisty one, that was for sure. He waved a greeting as Junjie joined them, smiling at the arrival of friends. It was good to see the hybrid again. He had been invaluable to them both during Erionda's pregnancy.
Casseth watched carefully as all the new people joined them. Waving his chubby fingers in return when Junjie waved at him. He squealed when Amadia moved, leaning down and wrapping his arms around the khehora's neck. Ama nudged gently against Erionda's side, peeking around her to see Toki approaching. "He won't hurt them," she said as Kilian stepped up beside her, one of his hands resting protectively against Casseth's back. "He's blind and old...and friendly." Just the same, Ama stayed by her family.
