Welcome to Gaia! ::

As Teiluj listened to the girl speaking she tired to imagine the Obans. All she could picture were shadow-like earthlings with glowing red eyes. She shivered at the idea. Obans already sounded scary just from the way they were described. To her they sounded like the kind that would invaide dreams and turn people's hopes into nightmares. Maybe this was why her mamma had never told her about them? As Mirin spoke of war Teiluj's antenna dropped closer to her head in a growing fear. Her eyes grew wide. They were so bad they had wars? Whatever war was... Teiluj had never heard this word before. But from the context of what was said the youngling could only guess at the meaning.

"A dead one?" Teiluj looked horrified. This girl was telling a very scary story. And while she wanted to tell her to stop, she couldn't help but want to know more.

"I'm glad they were able to get away. But Radaku are loyal! If they caught older ones that couldn't be tamed they really do sound horrible." She shivered at the idea and cleared her throat. Looking up towards the sky Teiluj sighed. "They sound aweful I hope I never run into one."

Teiluj looked down at starline and placed her on the ground. Flopping down just as Mirin had. They rolling forward onto her belly. Reaching into the bag at her hip to produce a few nuts. Pulling a face at them she held them out to Starline.

"Actually I have never been to Tale. I didn't know there was a Tale... My mamma gave me the egg. She told me she got it from some person who she had to fight. And when she won that fight she got all sorts of things. The egg was one of them. Mamma said I had to hatch it on my own. But she was always there if I had questions. She said she had a friend that knew something about them and she said it was a good lesson in responsibility." Teiluj stuck out her tongue. "Stupid lessons."

She looked at Mirin as Starline started taking the shell off the nut. "I love Starline don't get me wrong. What makes you want a Kinfa? They are so loud!"

Teiluj looked dumbfounded. "I know Jauhar obviously and Chibale isle. And Sauti. I know there is a land between here and Sauti but I don't know it's name. I'll bet there are more than those out there. I just don't know about them. And I want to know all about them one day."

A call in the distance had the youngling jumping to her feet. Her eyes darting about frantically. "Mamma's calling. If I don't hurry her and Pacju will come looking for me. I have to go."

She bent over and scooped Starline up into her arms. "It was nice to meet you... uhm... Shifter girl." The call happened again and Teiluj looked back quickly in the direction of the sound. "bye." With that Teiluj was darting through the forest and out of site.
