"I'd like to see Maika, please." You direct this towards Ranga, who smiles. "Great! She's one of the younger ehcora, and lots of fun. Hang on a sec..." She digs into her bag, pulling her hand out after a moment with a stone on a leather thong. This she hangs around her neck. Without explaining, she grabs the stone and mutters a strange word. Then, the elf quickly glances at you, and says, "Shut your eyes!" Suprised, you do so. Suddenly, you get the unplesent sensation of freefalling... But it only lasts a split second. When you open your eyes, you are standing back on the beach.
The tide is now in, and the seagulls are all napping on the sands. Rnga looks arund, then walks knee-deep into the water. Throwing a glance across the waves once more, she howls. The sound carries over the noise of the waves, and echoes around the beach... Suddenly, a large being- apparently made of water- rises from the waves. It approaches Ranga and you slowly, and you watch unbeleiving. How can an animal be MADE of water?
Ranga blinks. "Very funny, Maika. TRUE color, please- we have a guest!" Blink. That s an ehcora?? Okaaay... Suddenly, a ripple of laughter sounds in your mind- miscevious laughter. You spoil my fun.The creature walks onto the beach, shedding all its watery looks and becoming a cloudy, gray-green color. Hi, traveller! Did I fool you? You nod at the ehcora, trying not to stare at the huge, sharp blades all over her body. |

Ranga wades out of the surf, and stands next to the ehcora. "Don't mind her. She's our resident prankster. Her power is color-changing, or camoflauge, and she's very good at it." Shesmiles, and you look back at the Ehcora. "So.. Are those blades sharp?" You ask, not really wanting to know the answer. Without speaking, Ranga stoops and picks up a large stone, which she tosses to Maika. CLANG! OYou hear the ring of rock on steel, and the stone falls to the ground in two peices. Yes, they are sharp. VERY sharp! Anyways, what is your name, Traveller? Mine is Maika.It is "Sharp" in Elven. Not easy to see how she got that name... You introduce yourself, and look at Ranga. "She's Drake's mate, you know. Have you met him yet? You should. Miaka loves to swim, her blades double as fins for the .most part. She brings back lots of fish for us and the other Ehcora And guess what- She's expecting her first litter of kits soon!."
Ranga continues, as Miaka dives back into the surf. She instantly dissapears. "Let's go back, now. If you haven't met Drake, I'd reccomend it. In contrast to his mate, he's VERY mature. Or, you can check out the kit application center, if you'd like one of Maika's kits!" |
