Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rosetta swept through the little stalks of young grass, warm beams of sun making them glow with the essence of spring. She was on her way home to the little cottage nestled at the edge of the golden forest that rings the lake Tyulafel. She made the trek to the lake to gather more inspiration from its clear, tranquil depths, and was on her way back when she heard a, inhuman sound coming from a small glade she had passed through to get to the lake. Cautiously, Rosetta peeked around a thick tree trunk and couldn't believe what she saw.

The most elegant creature in the land splayed across the small glade, bright blood seeping from jagged wounds. The drakien appeared to be in immense pain, judging by the awkward position she was lying in and the strangled noises coming from its mouth.

Rosetta slowly stepped from behind the tree, remembering some of the notes from her fathers studies. She drifted into the drakien's feild of vision with her fingers twined together infront of her stomach. "Oh my..." she mumbled, her hands slipping over one another. Rose's manners suddenly returned to her, and realizing that she was in the presence of an all-knowing being, bent her legs and bowed her head in a deep curtsey. "Please, forgive me..." she tittered, "but are you alright? "

?

Rosetta looks down at her hands, embarrassed for asking such a magnificent being such a stupid question. Of course she wasn't alright! The creature couldn't even stand, let alone fly back to her cave to heal. Rosetta silently reprimanded herself for acting such a fool in front of the Drakein.

Rosetta brought her gaze back up to meet the drakein's, her look of surprise fading into a small smile. "Well, you see..." she mumbled, fiddling with her fingers again. "...I'm a healer..." her gaze softened at the edges. "...I'm still learning though, but I think I can help." she finished, pulling a small clay bottle decorated with simple markings on the outside. She twisted off the cork with a bit of difficulty and held the base of the bottle with both hands.

"This is water from the lake near by, and it is rumored to have healing properties..." she explained, leaving the cork in her bag and slowly taking a step toward the wounded Drakein. "...the rumors are true, though. I figured out how to heal with it, quite by accident, but if I practice enough, I think I will be able to heal without it." she took another step closer.

She poured a small amount of liquid from the bottle into her palm and let it run down her fingers and drip off the tips. She returned her golden gaze to the magnificent she-Drakein, smiling shyly.

Rosetta glanced at the jug of healing water and bit her lip. The Drakien was right, her healing powers were meager at best, and the water wouldn't nearly be enough to heal the deep wounds she had suffered. "I'm sorry..." she mumbled, cursing her insolence. Then she realized what part of the forest they were in and a small smile returned to her lips.

"My cottage is not far from here..." she piped up, glancing in the direction of home. "You could stay there while you heal, and i would do my best to keep others that would further injure you away." she blinked innocently at the orange Drakien. "And maybe i could practice a little with your smaller scratches..." she added hopefully.

Rosetta realized with happiness that the small clearing around her cottage was the perfect size to keep her safe and snug. She shook her head mintely and cursed her insolence again. How could she be so rude as to forget to introduce herself to the all-knowing beast? "M-my name is Rosetta." she squeaked, curtseying once again.

Startled by the loud snort the orange Drakein emitted, Rosetta stumbled back a few steps. "I'm so-" she caught herself apologizing for apologizing so much, bit her lip, and nodded. She cowered under Grrel's immense gaze, the large drakein towering over her.

She breathed a small sigh of relief when the dragon accepted her offer, letting go the thought of the beast squishing her with one blow. She was even excited that she would allow her to try and heal the smaller wounds that she had.

She blinked several times before realizing that Grrel told her to lead the way. She turned and picked up her stuff, glancing back at the dragon. "Follow me." she chirped, and glided out of the small clearing toward her cottage. Grrel is a nice name for a dragon~ Rosetta thought to herself as she brushed past the green bushes and shrubs.

A few moments later, Rosetta broke through the denser forest that ringed tthe clearing that her cottage was nestled in. "I'll see what I have for you to eat." she said, and motioned to the clearing. "Go ahead and make yourself comfortable." A small smile sit up her features as she swooped back into the house, grabbed her wand from her bag and returned it to its hook, then stopped tho think about what a dragon would eat. She twisted her wand between her fingers, and moved over to her pantry realizing that they probably had a mostly carnivorous diet.

She unhooked a slab of salted meat from the back and made her pay outside, moving much slower with the heavy, bulky piece of meat on her back. She plopped it down in front of the magnificent beast and beamed up at her, proud that she managed to heave the meat as far as she did. "I hope this'll do..." she added, dusting her hands off on her skirt and picking up her wand. She wanted to take a closer look at Grrel's smaller wounds, but decided to wait until the dragon had finished her meal.

Rosetta set out one more giant piece of meat for the dragon to consume. She had enjoyed the time she spent with the dragon, working on her healing abilities and bringing the magnificent beast sustenance. She admitted that she would be sad to see her go, but knew she made a friend of an all-knowing presence. "I hope your trip home is... nice." she stuttered, bowing one final time to the orange-scaled dragon. She smiled up at her, golden eyes beaming with admiration and accomplishment.
