"Shh, shh, you're okay. You're okay." Ralael bounced Kaelrin in her arms, pacing. She'd been told about the shrine, about what it could do. The things it could summon. She needed help. She was absolutely certain of this. Ralael had no friends here outside of Kath, and she wasn't certain she should count her dragon because Kath was... well, Kath was as much a part of her as Kaelrin was.
Kaelrin, who was crying and clinging to her tunic. Every sob made Ralael's heart squeeze. He'd been inconsolable for the last two days, and she was doing what she could but she was tired and she was scared too. Before she'd always had her Weyr at her back, and Haven Weyr was not her Weyr. Maybe one day it could be, but right now it wasn't.
All that to say she was here at this shrine for help. "I need a friend for Kaelrin. I need someone to help me keep him safe," she said to the pool of water. This felt crazy but she'd seen crazier at this point. She ran her hand over his back, humming quietly to soothe him. "You're okay sweetheart, you're okay."

OOC: Using 1 of Ralael's stars to claim a Vuota Volan! I have a great need for a giant dog bat taking this tiny human under their wing and going "this is mine now." A mutation would be fun but I'll leave it to the writer's discretion <3
The words had a pair of ears listening as soon as she heard hte crying of the baby, she was aware of the need but waited. She knew the Shrine would let her know when was the right time to approach but she listened with the calm intensity of someone aware of what was going on here. She wanted to go now and comfort the baby who clearly needed comforting, he was crying so loudly.
As soon as the woman spoke the Volantil walked forward, her claws clipping on the stone ground. She was aware she was big and scary to some but she hoped that her fluffier than average fur and gentler nature helped. She went to her and then chirped at the little one and nuzzled him first then looked at Ralael. Help? She asked as she then opened her mind to a bond with her.
She then licked the child in her arms gently, playing with the little one clearly showing how deeply she cared for the child. She was going to do all she could to help the one that needed her most of all. Her odd wings stood out in the sense they were covered in feathers instead of the normal leather and fur.
As they were doing that a small bowl of meat was visible and as soon as that happend the cracking of egg was audible. The little creature that tumbled from the egg was a golden pureblood firelizard, she looked up and chirped then tried to go for the bowl on her own but tripped and fell on her face.
Motherhood Calls to Mothers Vuota Volantil Mindspeech: Italics #fd5bff This girl stands at an impressive nine feet tall and she is very fluffy in appearance, she's a gorgeous one with her fur being an almost even blending of browns, reds and grays she looks like some kind of strange almost German Shepherd in terms of her patterning. She's a very heavily built girl for more of a gentle cuddler than a fighter, but don't get her wrong she will fight and defend children. She also has feathery wings instead of leathery ones.
This girl is a mother, she desires above all else to help with little ones of all species, she will seek them out and comfor them. She has a special connection with Kelrin and will do all she can to keep him safe from any and all harm. This girl is a stubborn and hard headed one if she decides that something is too dangerous for Kelrin she will absolutely lose her shit even on her bonded. She is fully willing to fight and defend her bonded but the baby first, bonded oddly second at least in her mind. She knew why she was called and it was to help keep Kelrin safe not to help Ralael but stills he will do what she can to help.
Her maternal instincts are incredibly strong and she will try to bring Ralael to any and all babies who may be bonding. She wants to have a hand in raising them since her own young will only be one at a time. She's very good at focus raising offspring and wants to try things beyond that, she wants to have a large Pack to fly with.
Not All That Glitters is Gold But I do! Female Gold Pureblood Firelizard This girl is a gorgeous pure golden almost a shining yellow gold, she's very well built and sits at a full forty inches nose to tail. She's an impressive figure and she has no changes in her color or patterning, she's very even colored and it shows.
This girl is a sweetheart, she wants to help others and treat them with kindness. She will absolutely be there for her bonded and she wants to do all she can to keep her safe and the little one, though her priority is her bonded. She's a sweet little thing and she does her best to care for the Fair that she's in, she is a leader and she will keep order and discipline if needed. She wants to be the best she can for the bond she has, she's the kind of flit that would give some with already established fair's a headache.
She enforces her will and choices beyond even being safe for other flits she's absolutely a good companion to have and wants to help everyone. Her nature also allows her to be a cuddle monster she loves to cuddle everyone that is in her Fair and she wants to have a good time with them.
(Using my 5 Stars from Description Exchange to gift the flitter)
Ralael stiffened at the sound of claws on stone and she pulled Kaelrin closer to herself. She stared at the being that came out of the shadows, fear sliding up her spine before fading all at once. The volan was a frightening being, she'd heard of them in the short time she'd been here, but this one wasn't... didn't scare her. Not really. The sudden appearance had more than anything.
Ralael blinked as the volan nuzzled at Kaelrin, and he calmed so quickly. He giggled and wiped his eyes with one chubby hand before reaching for her. "Hi!" he chirped back.
Ralael relaxed and smiled, shifting Kaelrin in her arms so that he could see the volun better. "Thank you," she said, accepting the bond with ease. "May I call you Yllara?" she asked.
The vuota chirred and shifted her wings to take Kaelrin in her hold, nuzzling at him. Yes.
Ralael relaxed further as Kaelrin continued to giggle and pat at Yllara with his hands. Her attention then was stolen by the cracking of an egg. "Oh!" She looked back at Yllara and Kaelrin. "Is he--?"
Yllara blinked at her and tipped her head to the fumbling firelizard, and Ralael rushed over. "Easy there little one," she soothed, helping her back up onto her paws. Ralael then carefully brought the food dish closer and fed her the meat scraps.
With Yllara keeping Kaelrin entertained, it was just a matter of time until the young gold was fed and sleeping on Ralael's shoulder, her tail curled protectively around her neck. "Okay," Ralael breathed. "Let's go home then."
