| Small is Beautiful! |
 |
| "Greetings and welcome to the "small animals" section of the caves, where anyone less than a foot or so long can take refuge from our larger companions... no more dodging underfoot... In case you've never met any of my kind before, I, for future reference, am a Fennec; my name is Dovner, and my parents were Cyntali and Mavabo. We originate from DragonMoon, where we usually live in underground burrows. As a Cloud (that's grey to the uninitiate), my role to the species is to be the learned, serious one (thank all the powers this place has a library!)but at a push a Cloud can call up a pretty nasty thunderstrike, so beware... "I hope I'm not going to be alone in this place for long... I'll be mated soon, when I'm of age!" |

| The Great Hall looks out of place, so far below the ground. It is a huge, tiled chamber with a smooth domed ceiling.Once it may have been a dining hall, but this is obviously no longer the case; the tapestries which adorn the walls are covered in dust, something has been chewing on the chandelier and the huge table which stretches the length of the place is heaped high with books, bottles, boxes and suchlike paraphernalia. You jump as a rustle issues from under a pile of scrolls, followed by a grey furry head. A little vulpine of indeterminate species eases itself out, shakes itself and fixes you with a piercing blue eye. Your surprise can only increase as the creature begins to speak to you. |

| Turning to the soft sound of paws behind you, you see a beautiful brown tabby cat just about to rub her fur on your leg. She has the classic Tabby markings, four white socks, and a pair of chocolate brown wings sprouting from her back. She speaks too, but her voice is heard without the need for sound, on the inside of your mind. *I'm here to keep the mice out of the books... (suggestion of a grin)... I'm Scylla, and I'm a Moon Cat. What manner of being are you?" |
 |
| A second Moon Cat, this one jet black all over except for his green eyes, follows Scylla at a distance. He appears to be rather shy, but realising you don't pose any danger, he comes close enough to be introduced and patted. "I am Nicodemus, son of Tib and Shrai, recently arrived from DragonMoon," he says softly, then adds in an aside, "I think I was meant to be a mate for Scylla... she seems to think she's my mum!" |
