My Aching Feet!

Pyralis chuckled and nodded lightly. It was a good idea to stay clear of gods and spirits and yet was the mortal woman aware she was talking to a living goddess? Pyr did not bother to mention her heritage. She still felt stung over the unfortunate fate of the Eclipse Empire and she bore bitterness toward the Fallen God in her heart. Pyr watched the woman as she named the price. The older woman contemplated it for a moment. A shared meal certainly would be doable but then the stranger asked for one of Alkali's feathers. She cocked her head as she turned to glance at her companion. The bird shrugged. "It's alright I don't mind, one feather won't break me and it should grow back before my next molt." The hawk bent her head and unfolded her left wing. She eyed it carefully for a moment then selected one of her secondaries, a particular strikingly striped feather. Wincing she plucked out the feather in its entirety then hopped over to deposit it at the woman's feet. When the bird returned to stand next to her Pyralis reached out to gently lick the birds head. "I owe you. Next meal i get the liver is yours." She turned back to the woman. "A pleasure Shaye, I am Pyralis Abraxas. My companion is Alkali. Do as you intend and I'll tell you what I can about the flood." Pyralis settled herself down so the other could work. While Shaye went about her business Pyralis unfolded her story. "A great storm hit the canyon suddenly. The winds were horrendous and the rain fell swift and heavy. It caused the river to rise and flood and then to make matters worse…" she shrugged. "I can't say for sure what happened. I believe a series of massive mudslides shredded part of the canyon wall and the sudden influx of rock and muddle caused the river to swell further and a massive wave to crash down on our den site. I was swept away clear out here. Though I journeyed to the shore myself for reflection but my injuries caught up with me." Pyralis ears flicked up as she heard familiar screeching cries echo up into the air. A coyote pack was nearby… not good. She hoped Shaye would get the worst of her cleaned up before they had an unwelcome welcome party. "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.
