| Forest of Tranquility |
| The soft breeze that follows you down the carefully kept trail seems to whisper its own greeting. The feeling of eyes upon you never seems to cease until something taps you on the shoulder. Behind you stands a tall slender Elven man; his black hair is tied back into a pony-tail. "Greetings," his voice is very soft and calming. "I am Macklin, a friend of the woods and all that live here. I saw you walking an had to make sure you weren't lost." Chuckling he moves before you and leads you into a sunny clearing. You can now tell that he is wearing deerskin clothes, and has a few feathers clamped into his hair with small bits of metal and bone. �It is nice to see that you have returned my friend. As you recall how I had told you the tale of that strange egg I found? Well it finally hatched! You must come see her; she is such a beauty and a true being of the night. I was there at the full moon when she hatched, so happy was she to lay her eyes at first upon the moon and then upon me.� He beams with pride as he leads you quickly towards a clearing. His dark hair trails behind him, as do the feathers in his hair, his feet fall on the path with barely any sound. With a sudden halt he grabs your shoulder so you do not go through the bushes. Extending his arm he points to the gleaming silver dragon. Now with a hushed voice he speaks, �She says she is a Luna Dragon. I sat up with her last night talking to her, she says her name is Shiri-Maeve. It means Song Of My Soul Goddess. The little one has a voice as sweet and as smooth as honey. Once she has gotten a bit stronger she will have the option to live here in the Forest of Tranquility or move into the mountains.� His smile grows, �I feel like a proud father, but if you would like to meet her I�m sure she wouldn�t mind you saying hi. She is still young, but knows quite a few words already. When you look into her eyes you know she is thinking about everything. She is a very wise and beautiful Dragoness.� Slowly he leads you closer to the little dragon, which in turn looks up at both of you. A smile forms on her small face her silver scales gleaming as her eyes sparkle with thought. Slowly she opens her mouth and speaks, the words flowing from her like a soft song that calms you to your very soul, �hello.� She smiles as Macklin kneels beside her. �I�m sorry for waking you my little one, but we have a friend here that wishes to give you greetings.� Shiri-Maeve nods and coos softly looking at you, then smiles once more and nods. �Well we shall let you sleep then,� he places a tender kiss on her head and stands leading you off. Once back in the cover of trees he speaks, �Shiri-Maeve is awake most of the night. She lays and looks at the moon, as well as learning her own instincts. I bring her some food each night and talk to her. She may not say much, but when she gets older when she speaks those around her should probably listen to what she has to say. Great things are what we shall see from her. I have a strong feeling in my gut about it.� He leads you back up the path, �Well be well and again thank you for visiting.� With that he disappears back into the woods. |
