Gabriel looked around this place he'd not been here in a long time but he was here going to see what had brought him, he'd come here only a couple times before. He was here to gain a new friend or companion or something he'd been told that this was something here to call to him, he was going to do things here at last and he started looking around trying to figure out what had called him here.
Using 15 of my BP to buy a Meridian Familiar for Gabe!
The what would reveal itself soon enough, though at first it might not be what Gabriel expected. A gathering of glittering lights would make itself seen, entering from another opening into the heart of the Veiled Shrine.
It drifted around the ever-present pool, moving towards Gabriel in a casual manner. It paused, as if studying him, then apparently made a decision and passed through the angel's body before emerging on the other side, landing on the ground as a cream-and-white wombat.
I believe I've been waiting for you, archangel.
Bond! A Balance in the Scales Female Meridian Familiar to Gabriel!

A Balance in the Scales Female Meridian Familiar
Mindspeech: Bolt Italics #47bd84
Life, thankfully, isn't always as one-sided as it may seem to appear. Yes, train must fall and sometimes it hurls down as a violent, long storm never to end. But end it must and the sun emerge once more. Sorrow and joy, pain and comfort, all sides taking their turn upon the grand stage before bowing out for another. In a sense Gabriel played to this rhythm in how he would use humor to counter the pains of war and negate anger around him. And it is that facet that Balance found appealing and why she came to the angel in the Shrine - though Gabe is considerably more prone to extremes than she ever will be. Balance encourages those around her, especially her Bonded - to live a life of balance and moderation and teaches that everything, good or bad, has it's time and place and will eventually fade away one after the other, so is get there really a point in getting all worked up? She's naturally very difficult to fluster or get excitable and is unknown to panic in an emergency. This could prove useful to Gabriel on this days when the IF decides to have a field day or Wild Dragons attack.
At first glance one might think Balance simply an oddly-colored wombat and certainly in shape the description is apt. Covered in fur that is patterned in cream and white wavy, wide bands, her body is the typical wombat shape with a round body, four somewhat stumpy legs ending in powerful digging claws, small ears and a slightly large noise on a blunt muzzle. But it's in the intelligence in her silver eyes that the truth is revealed.
