My Aching Feet!

Pyralis strained to hear the sounds around her, certain she'd heard the call of her companion but instead all she picked up was the sound of approaching feet. Her head turned to stare at a dark-pelted woman who was walking along the beach. She seemed to be about the same age as Pyralis and her white markings shown brilliantly in the dull light of the shimmering water. Pyralis watched the stranger carefully, her golden eyes narrowing as the woman spoke and she barked out a bitter laugh. "My dear, if you only knew the ways the gods and spirits have toyed with me as of late you would not say thus." Pyralis moved around the log, a distinct lack of grace to her injured movements as she approached the stranger who offered to assist her with her injuries. The goddess's head tilted slightly as she debated whether or not she could really trust this random mortal but perhaps the spirits were trying to assist her after the horror of the flood. "That depends. What is the price for your services?" Before she could enquire the woman's name the loud cry of a harris hawk finally broke through the air, crisp and clear. Pyralis' head snapped up as she saw the great bird descend, her magnificent wings spreading and scattering sand as she landed. "Pyralis! By the spirits, I'm so glad to see you survived the flood." Pyralis didn't speak at first, she just stared in stunned silence before bounding toward the bird and nuzzling her. "Me? What about you! I know you can fly but after what happened to my son's companion I feared the worst." "Who is this you have with you?" Pyralis turned to the woman. "Ahh… this is…. um… what is your name?" "Talk" "Alkali" Think |
Please note that Pyralis is a ghost. It is up to you to decide what level your chars can see/hear her. She was killed by having her throat ripped apart. At times the wound may be visible and be actively bleeding.
