Hisiereil
  Ranga grabs her necklace- which, you note, has a strange rune on the stone- and mutters something. The world suddenly spins wildly around you, eveythhing a blur of green... When it all settles, you are standing near the edge of the forest. Ranga, who is beside you, motions for you to follow her and walks along the forest edge. A few yards away, the ground drops away suddenly into huge, grey cliffs. As you look, trying not to get dizzy, you notice a small path cut into the side of the cliff. You shudder, and jog after Ranga. That doesn't look very safe..
    After a few minutes walking, Ranga stops at the side of the cliff. She sits down, swings her legs over- and jumps off! You yell in suprise, running over to the edge of the cliff. Just as you reach it, Ranga's head pops up. "What?" She says, th     t innocent of looks on her face. After a few moments of staring at her, you walk to the edge of the cliff and look down. A few feet down, Ranga is standing on the path cut into the cliff. Why, that little... Ranga grins at you mischeviously, then hops back down. "This is the only way to get toHisiereil's den, you know, so I suggest you follow. Unless you can fly." You scowl, then jump down after her.
   After a few more minutes- which seem like hours- the path widens, just befor opening to a cave. Without heasitation, Ranga ducks inside. You stop for a moment. The cave is lit well, but very misty... looking over your shoulder, you discover the path has dissapeared. or is it just covered in the cloud of mist that has just mysteriously appeared? left with no way back, you shrug before entering the cave.
   Ranga is sitting crosslegged on the floor a few yards inside. Beside her is a large, silver-blue Ehcora.
Hello, traveler. I am Hisiereil. Welcome to my den! The Ehcora lashes her tail, and looks at you expectantly. You politely introduce yourself, and Ranga smiles at you. "Hisiereil was my very first Ehcora! Her name is Quenya, it means 'Maiden wreathed in mist'. Her powers, of course, are all mist and storm related." Hisiereil nods in agreement, as Ranga finger-combs her mane. I like to be here, near the ocean. And the den suits my mate, Sulime, as well for it is in the air- and that is his element. Ranga speaks again: "Guess what? She's just had kits now! Her very first litter, too!" Both glow with pride. "They're playing in the nursery right now, untill they can be situated in their new homes. You should visit them, soon! Unfortunately, there are no kits right now to apply for, but there are two pairs that should bebred in a few weeks." She smiles. "We have to find good homes for them before they're born, so people register a week or so ahead of time. I don't suppose you'd be interested inadopting an Ehcora, would you?" You think about this for a moment, and Ranga smiles again. "Well, if you decide you'd like to apply for a kit, you certainly may! I can take you to the center and show you the rules! Or would you like to go back home, and look at the other Ehcora?"
