Age: Way too old for any shenanigans.
Physical Description: In her natural form, Va'nei is a dragon. A very very large dragon. She stands 90' tall at the shoulder, and her wingspan is 480'; her body is long and slender, for a dragon, at 230' long. Her tail is longer than that of the average dragon, longer even than the rest of her body at a total 270', and dwindles to a long, thin, prehensile point capable of great dexterity and precision. She is ancient and colossal, an earth dragon of great wisdom, and appears to be covered in leaves, moss, and vines. Her eyes are a vibrant shining gold in both forms. In her human shape, she is humorously small compared to her dragon form. An average 5'6" and slender, she has long green hair and lightly-tanned skin; her skin retains a faint iridescent scale pattern, seen in certain angles of light.
------------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: When in her dragon shape, Va'nei carries no equipment. As a human, she wears layered green robes and a pair of thigh-high green heeled boots. She also wears a headband with a small feathered adornment just above her left ear, and a necklace comprised of carved crystal beads.

Nestled deep within a range of towering mountains is a veritable utopia of a garden, guarded by great stone dragon heads that seem to be grown from the very mountainsides, and dominated by a large but calmly-flowing river. Accessible only by flight, magic, or The Deep Crystal Caves, this serene valley full of waterfalls, greenery, and gentle wildlife is the sanctuary of the Earthwarden, Va'nei Dha'zhi, Earthwarden. It is here that she has a tendency to retreat when not out tending to the cycle of nature. All are welcome as long as they bear no destructive or evil intent to the valley, its creatures, or Va'nei herself, the valley protected by powerful earth magic that keeps out hostile forces or malicious intruders.

The serenity of the valley was abruptly disturbed by an unholy ruckus heard coming from the surrounding mountains, awakening the valley's main occupant from her afternoon nap, and Va'nei's long neck stretched as she swiveled her head around toward the source of the sound. Odd, but she didn't see anything. Then, abruptly, from behind a loose screening of vines, two Stone Orcs came tumbling out of the mountain, rolling to a stop in the thickness of some tall grass. The herd of deer that had been lurking nearby abruptly fled, their peace disturbed by the intrusion.
Puzzled but amused, Va'nei chuckled, not even waiting for the two Orcs to gain their bearings before she spoke. Her voice was soft, amazingly so for a creature her size, and her golden eyes glowed as she peered down at the two. "What is this? Two Orcs, tumbling into my valley? Whatever were you doing in the crystal deeps, my adventurous little friends?" The tip of her tail twitched outward, pushing aside some of the tall grass to make it easier for them to stand.

Physical Description: At 6'3", Zar'Dura is somewhat small, even for a female Orc, and she is not as muscular as most. Her skin is a greenish-brownish-grey color that is common to her race, and her features, while not what humans would consider beautiful, are delicate for her kind, with full lips and two small tusks protruding upward from behind her lower lip. Her eyes are a startling amber-gold color, and her hair is black, worn in tightly-bound ropes often adorned with charms and rings carved of wood and stone.

After being in the semi-dark for so long, the sudden sunlight was nearly blinding, and that combined with the repeated rolling of her body - until it was stopped by the soft barrier of tall grass - meant that Zar'Dura just.. laid there. Her eyes closed and arm flung over her face, she waited for the dizziness and nausea of her sudden descent and stop to cease, as well as for her eyes to begin to adjust to the light. Of course, a sudden voice put an end to that.. especially given she realized now that the voices had stopped whispering.
Sitting bolt upright, Dura turned to see who had spoken (What could it possibly be, in a voice so large yet gentle?), and found herself gazing at.. a very large, green dragon. Her eyes rounded comically, and her jaw dropped as she reached blindly to her side, gently nudging Theev'Nok to get him to look at the unbelievable sight. It took her several long moments to finally find her voice as she stared into those golden eyes, much like her own, but ancient and wise. "Are.. are you the Earthwarden, O Great Green Dragon?"

Kicking the free grass and dirt from their fall towards where they fell in anger, he was suddenly nudged. And the voice that spoke, surely gave him even further a reason to jolt around. Eyes widening, he launched himself to the ground, knee dug into the dirt as his arm supported the other half of his body. "Earthwarden...?" He stated it unsurely, but still confident. Such a beast had to be it, even though it was a dragon. Though common as they were, he knew this one.. this one was like Rag'Novok, if he lived as long as he could've.
"We've traveled many days to find you, Earth-Kin Thuri." He decided to throw both of those titles together, not knowing which one she'd respect more. "Zar'Dura, my companion and who I swore to be guardian of, has been guided by the earth to find you.." He waited for a response, soon closing his mouth as he found himself no longer in position to speak.

Earthwarden? The female knew her title. That was both highly amusing, and very intriguing. Curving her sinuous neck around yet more, she brought her head closer to the pair of orcs, sniffing curiously at them. What surprised her was to hear that the female could apparently hear the Earth. Very interesting, indeed. "I see. So the Earth has whispered in your ear, little orc? Zar'Dura, is it? It has been many years since I encountered an Earth-Whisperer." Her gaze turned briefly to Theev'Nok, before she drew back, her wings rustling slightly.
"I am indeed the Earthwarden, Va'nei Dha'zhi, Keeper of the Cycle and Bringer of Life." Her tail withdrew from their area, and instead curled back around her body, before she spoke again. "But, my little Orcen friends, I feel I must ask the question, why did you seek me out? What great task drives you to seek out the Earthwarden?" She seemed to pause, as though listening to something, and then a low rumble shook the ground, seemingly coming from her. Was she.. growling? "..Is this because of Rag'Novok?"

Now that she knew who this dragon was, and that she wasn't going to eat them, Zar'Dura was calm. Well, outwardly. Inwardly, she was elated. She had succeeded! Nodding at the dragon's question, she replied. "I also hear the wind, and I have begun to hear the voices of spirits. My people call me 'the Listener'." Really, she was hoping that maybe Va'nei could enlighten her somewhat on this subject. Was she unique? Had their been others like her in the past?
When the giant green dragon asked after their purpose, she opened her mouth to respond, but before she could, there came a rumbling. It made her tense, wondering if they had angered her. Then the answer came, and Dura nodded solemnly. "The earth gave me visions of his attack on the mountains. Then I spoke to him in the Stone Plains. He said he is going to kill many people, cull us like an overpopulated nuisance.. including the Stone Orcs at Falkreath." Her head lowered. That, she felt responsible for. "The earth told me that you could help. So I sought you out." She looked up again, expression hopeful. "Can you help us?"

Theev'Nok remained silent, knee into the ground as he hunched over, waiting for the conversation to end. He wanted to speak up, he wanted to add more, but he wasn't in the position to speak to the Warden. However, he did make his analogy between her and Rag'Novok... and he didn't like it. She seemed angry at Rag'Novok, but yet, seemed angry because she couldn't do anything about his rampages. He kept silent, but thoughts of effortless tasks made swam through his head, and how chances were slim against him if this were true.

Va'nei seemed slightly surprised by the list of what, aside from the earth, Zar'Dura could hear. It was very interesting, indeed. "Ahh, young orc, you truly are a Listener, then. Or what was once spoken of as a Spirit Caller, for you can hear the spirits. I think in time you may come to hear the spirits of water and fire, as well, but water is reticent and fire is temperamental, so it may be many years before this comes to pass."
To hear that the earth forewarned Zar'Dura of Rag'Novok's destruction and his intent did nothing to soothe her annoyance, inspired at the mere thought of that dragon. She snorted, a great gust of wind that stirred the grass and trees for a good distance, then sighed. "Unfortunately, that is his task. Just as I was given my gifts to preserve the natural cycle of the earth - to create life where there is none, to defend life where it exists - as was Rag'Novok. His place in the cycle is to thin the ranks of intelligent species when they become too numerous."
The look she gave them then was painted with sadness, her ancient golden eyes filled with remorse. "My only quarrel with him is the destruction he wreaks upon the earth itself. I could perhaps defend your people, since they are not numerous enough to truly warrant a reaping, but that is all I may do. If he attacks the earth once more, I will confront him, but not on behalf of the peoples of this world. That is not my place."

Zar'Dura seemed stunned by this revelation. There had been others like her in the past? With greater gifts? Gifts that she may one day come to possess? It was mind-boggling. But her elation at the insight into her potential was immediately crushed beneath an overwhelming mixture of disbelief, terror, and.. emptiness. It took her several moments to properly process what she had just been told. Rag'Novok had spoken truly? It was his place in the cycle to exterminate them for the good of the earth? Silent and openly bereft, Zar'Dura struggled to find her voice.
"..So.. we are doomed..? But.. but why? Do we not also have a right to live? Why would the earth warn me if we are meant to be destroyed?" She just.. didn't understand. It was hard to accept that she had this knowledge, but could do literally nothing with it.

"Zar'Dura." Theev'Nok hurredly exclaimed, flinching a bit as he expected to be reprimanded by the dragon for speaking without acknowledgment. But contrary was soon realized, and he continued. "The dragon's law will not allow him to slay us. He only gave an oath to let them grow long, somehow. I remember his tongue speaking something of temptation of land, or along those lines. If he truly wishes to raze us, we have much time before such a thing happens."
He pondered in his head why she actually was led to Rag'Novok with the gift. Could there be some twisted turn later on? Would there actually be something far darker than Rag'Novok himself? He didn't know, nor did he wish to find out. Looking back up to Va'Nei, he gave himself the courage to speak once more. "There must be something you know of, Mighty Earthwarden, that will stop this beast." He pleaded out with that statement.

Va'nei didn't seem at all insulted by what Zar'Dura said, but rather seemed sad for the orc and what she was struggling through. Nothing was said, however, to any of her questions, for the Earthwarden had no answers. The Earth was mysterious, and spoke to whom it chose for its own reasons. If it had wanted to guide her here, Va'nei didn't know why. However when Theev'Nok spoke of a way to stop Rag'Novok, a memory tickled at the back of Va'nei's mind. She acknowledged it, curiously, allowing the imagery to filter into her conscious mind. Then she remembered.
"There is a spell that can subdue Rag'Novok, but it is not an easy one to learn. It was used by your own Mathladeem, back in the dawn of ages." She tilted her head, seemingly considering something as the tip of her tail twitched and swished. "If I recall correctly, your people are guided by a Shaman King, yes? I believe this individual may know of the spell, and how to acquire it." Shifting her form about, she rustled her wings and looked back down to the two. "I can tell you are weary. Eat and drink of whatever you may find within this valley, but do not harm the animals; there are fish within the river, if you need meat. Once you have rested and eaten, I will fly you to a safe place, that you may return to your home."

Zar'Dura's jaw nearly dropped. The famed Mathladeem had managed to subdue this Rag'Novok? And she had been alive to see it? How old was this dragon? More importantly, if Shorbolg knew of this spell, why hadn't he used it? Was it simply because he didn't know that Rag'Novok had returned? And then there was the big question; why would he teach her the spell at all if he could do it himself? She was just a child in the eyes of the tribe, and Kold'Ron was his son, a far more logical choice to bear such an honor.
Lost in thought, Dura barely heard the dragon tell them to eat and drink their fill. Bowing at the waist and inclining her head in a nod of respect, she then slowly clambered to her feet and went off in search of food. She had much to think on.

Theev'Nok regained his strength and energy, as well an open mind. "Earthwarden..." His words came out in awe once more, simply just stating the holy title as if it would help him understand the magnitude such a name presented, let alone the being in front of them. Staring to her in awe, he eventually marched towards her. Dropping to both of his knees, he placed a fist upon his center chest. "Earthwarden... I am healthy and awake now, and I thank you greatly for blessing our travel with your presence."
He looked back to Zar'Dura, then back to Va'Nei. "I do believe, now, that it is time for us to depart. We must hurry, to stop Rag'Novok, if this is indeed possible." He asked her kindly with a statement, shy eyes looking up, his soul brave to try and meet her own.

Va'nei lay napping as the orcs went about eating and drinking to their satisfaction, only stirring when Theev'Nok approached. Raising her head, she turned it to look at him with those wise golden eyes, and at his companion who stood near him. When she saw Zar'Dura nod in agreement, the dragon curled her tail up at her side, turning it into a gradual incline that they could use to access her back. "Then climb onto my back, orc friends, and settle near my shoulders."
Even as she spoke, a cluster of vines was sprouting up from her back near her shoulders, for them to hold onto as she flew. Once Theev and Dura both were settled, she spread her wings, and after flapping them a few times, launched herself skyward. After circling a few times, she tilted her body and wings and aimed toward the Stone Plains.

<Weeks later>
Landing with her burden, still out cold, Va'nei set the wolf-being down upon a thick bed of grass near the river, and set about trying to restore the poor creature to life. This meant catching some fish from the river and cooking them over a small fire, which was easy enough to do in her mortal form. She figured the scent of roasting food would awaken the wolf-being easily enough. So once they were crackling merrily over a small blaze, she returned to her dragon form, curling the wolf-being into her side gently with her tail, a large wing draped over her. And then, she waited.

Moonflower Làidir
Main Character
Roleplay posts: 537
Age: 25
Physical Description: Moonflower is tall and willowy, standing at 5'11"; for all her slimness, she definitely has a woman's figure, with subtle curves that she does her best to hide beneath clothing slightly too large for her. Her hair is white, and falls to her waist, framing a face with a delicate bone structure and fair skin, set with a pair of silver-blue eyes that have a tendency to change intensity of hue to reflect her emotions. She has a few scars scattered all over her body, but the only real visible marks are the scars and callouses on her hands, a product of her work. For all her slight build, she is somewhat strong, likely due to her lupine-shifter nature, and she is flexible, swift, and dexterous.. when she's not dropping things due to being clumsy and awkward.
------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: Her usual clothing consists of any mixture of one of her white linen shirts, a vest with two small pockets (one dark blue, one light blue, one light grey); a pair of breeches (one black, one dark grey, one dark blue), and her black knee-high boots. Always around her left wrist is a pewter Dwarven bracelet, and around her right a bear-claw bracelet; on the fourth finger of her left hand, she wears a silver engagement ring with a single oval-shaped moonstone framed by a pair of triquetra. Tools of her trade include whittling knives, and glass- and metal-etching tools.

Moon dreamed of flying.
Which was strange, because she'd certainly never flown before, so how could she know what it felt like? Still, she stirred slowly to wakefulness - amazed to find herself waking at all, in truth - with the scent of cooking fish in her nose. She found herself surrounded by green, something living, but she didn't care; her body shifted back to her human form, and she reached out weakly, grabbing one of the fish and dragging it over to gobble down the flaky mass. She didn't want to live, but the hunger gnawing at her belly was too strong to ignore any longer.
Not even thinking of who might have saved her, or how, or why, she ate three of the five fish that were roasting, before finally collapsing into the soft grass that cushioned her. That was when she looked up and found a pair of giant golden eyes gazing kindly at her. Moon froze, her eyes roving across the rest of the creature's face. It was.. a dragon? Why wasn't it trying to roast her, or eat her, or both? "..Um.. hello... Where.. where am I?" Her voice was hoarse from exhaustion and lack of water, but she was too tired to move to the nearby river and drink.

Roleplay posts: 323
Age: Way too old for any shenanigans.
Physical Description: In her natural form, Va'nei is a dragon. A very very large dragon. She stands 90' tall at the shoulder, and her wingspan is 480'; her body is long and slender, for a dragon, at 230' long. Her tail is longer than that of the average dragon, longer even than the rest of her body at a total 270', and dwindles to a long, thin, prehensile point capable of great dexterity and precision. She is ancient and colossal, an earth dragon of great wisdom, and appears to be covered in leaves, moss, and vines. Her eyes are a vibrant shining gold in both forms. In her human shape, she is humorously small compared to her dragon form. An average 5'6" and slender, she has long green hair and lightly-tanned skin; her skin retains a faint iridescent scale pattern, seen in certain angles of light.
------------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: When in her dragon shape, Va'nei carries no equipment. As a human, she wears layered green robes and a pair of thigh-high green heeled boots. She also wears a headband with a small feathered adornment just above her left ear, and a necklace comprised of carved crystal beads.

Va'nei watched with mild amusement as the creature stirred, and understood when it shifted into the shape of a white-haired human female. So, she was some sort of wolf-being, after all. Interesting. Not a sound was made as the female gorged herself, and only when she spoke did the Earthwarden chuckle, and respond quietly. "You are in my Sanctuary. I am Va'nei, the Earthwarden. Who might you be, little wolf, and what happened to make you run yourself to the brink of death?" She tilted her head, eyeing the wolf-being curiously.

Moonflower Làidir
Main Character
Roleplay posts: 537
Age: 25
Physical Description: Moonflower is tall and willowy, standing at 5'11"; for all her slimness, she definitely has a woman's figure, with subtle curves that she does her best to hide beneath clothing slightly too large for her. Her hair is white, and falls to her waist, framing a face with a delicate bone structure and fair skin, set with a pair of silver-blue eyes that have a tendency to change intensity of hue to reflect her emotions. She has a few scars scattered all over her body, but the only real visible marks are the scars and callouses on her hands, a product of her work. For all her slight build, she is somewhat strong, likely due to her lupine-shifter nature, and she is flexible, swift, and dexterous.. when she's not dropping things due to being clumsy and awkward.
------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: Her usual clothing consists of any mixture of one of her white linen shirts, a vest with two small pockets (one dark blue, one light blue, one light grey); a pair of breeches (one black, one dark grey, one dark blue), and her black knee-high boots. Always around her left wrist is a pewter Dwarven bracelet, and around her right a bear-claw bracelet; on the fourth finger of her left hand, she wears a silver engagement ring with a single oval-shaped moonstone framed by a pair of triquetra. Tools of her trade include whittling knives, and glass- and metal-etching tools.

"My.. my name is Moonflower." Moon grimaced. But tears welled in her eyes. She was so tired of keeping everything bottled up.. of struggling with these fears, these sorrows, these heartbreaks, by herself. And so she spilled. She told Va'nei everything. The circumstances of her birth. The death of her parents. Her exile from the tribe. Meeting Cass. Her feelings for him - or what she'd thought they were, anyway. How he'd abandoned her, again and again. Her discovery of him with the other woman. How broken she'd felt. How she'd fled, and ended up in Isra. Meeting Alden. Meeting Kematian. Claiming Alden as her pack-brother. Her feelings for Kematian, which made her feelings for Cass seem like nothing. How she'd left Isra, and been taken by the Orcs.. then thinking she'd finally found a pack, a place to be herself. Only to be dismissed, rejected, and sent away. Again. How she'd run and run until the strength left her body.
The sun had passed from mid-morning to evening by the time she finally stopped speaking, and looked up at the dragon. She was huge. That had to mean she was old and wise, right? Moon sniffled, wiping away tears as she rasped up at the Earthwarden. "..So that's my story. I don't know what to do. I don't want to die, I don't think.. but I'm just so tired of being alone, of being abandoned, of feeling like I don't fit in... What do you think I should do?" This was what she needed. Someone to tell her where to go from here. She needed direction.

In contemplative silence, Va'nei listened to Moonflower's story. For such a young soul, the wolf-being had led a very sorrowful life. It touched her heart, and she felt sad for her. When the youngster finally fell silent, ending her tale with a question, the Earthwarden considered this for a few moments, before responding. "It sounds to me as though you need some time to reflect, and admit to yourself several things. The first being that you are in love with this Kematian; if your animal soul wishes him as a mate, then that should be proof enough of your feelings, should it not? You should return to him, and confess your feelings. He deserves to know. If he does not feel the same, then you have your answer. But pack and mate, even a mate who has not accepted the bond yet, cannot be so easily cast aside, especially in fear."
Lowering her head, she gently nudged Moonflower with her snout, offering comfort to the distraught wolf-being. "You may stay here for as long as you like, and think things over. Should you come to a decision, I will fly you back to your city, and you can make your choices there. Take what you will of this valley. It is your home for as long as you want it." Raising her bulk from the ground, she turned and moseyed off elsewhere, leaving Moonflower alone to think.

Moon blinked owlishly up at the Earthwarden. She was in love with Kematian? But that couldn't be. But she was so old and wise.. didn't that mean... Her head hurt. But she nodded absently as Va'nei made her offer and stood, before curling into herself. The dragon was right. She needed to think about this. Decide what she felt, and what she wanted to do. With her chin on her knees and her eyes glazed over in thought, she tried to think.
This was going to take a while.
