Cecélia saw the guards approaching and were quite well aware of those particular looks and gestures - making a career in the military while being a woman would teach you what this kind of "man-guage" meant. Cecélia looked at the guy twirling his mustache for a second and squinted.
"Yes that is exactly what I had hoped I would find." she said and reached back on her horse and into a saddle bag and pulled up a dead duck which she threw at the guards' feet. "We hunted a duck on the way but I think you should have it seeing how hungry you all look." she said with a wry smile. "Make use of it in whatever way you like..." she said and passed the guards as her accompanying Rondí soldiers couldn't help but chuckle slightly exchange Rondí words and and smirks.

Physical Description: A mystic sphinx seemingly birthed from the stars. The creature stands on all fours, seemingly built as a lithe, feline-esque creature with spindly legs and a curvy torso - though most of the main body is adorn in fine, silky-soft fur and feathers in a soft starry glow white or stark night sky black.
The dark feathers make up most of the twin pair wings folded along the back.
The thin, long legs are tipped in delicate cat-like paws - though the little toes seem to unfurl a bit and give almost completely open palms despite the slightly offset thumbs. These limbs are warm in white fur.
The tail flexes and flicks much like a feline's tail, though it begins in fur and changes in a very subtle shift to feathers that grow in size to the rather large ones that make a soft, rounded end to the limb - all a soft white and light snow grey mix.
The slightly elongated neck bears a rather mysterious head, which has no real face or features. Instead, it seems a slightly rounded mask sets in place of the face - white with some smooth accents in grey around the seemingly empty eye sockets. Just above the "masked" face protrude a pair of horns at the placement of the temples, but they seem to be more ethereal than solid or bone - and seem to shift and wave almost like smoke to constantly change shape.

A quiet, starry evening found a shimmer in the infinite abyss of twinkling lights far above - almost a ripple in the dark. Suddenly one of the larger stars settled in the sky seemed to grow in size, and begin a very slow crawl across the canvas. As it continued to grow, the motion steadily accelerated. But then the star began to warp in shape and erect a tail in it's wake. The star now quickly began to grow as it seemed to rocket down from the skies towards the ground! It would plummet down to the earth and a streak of roaring light, coming relatively close to a sturdy, guarding tower as it finally crashed down to completely demolish it's momentum as it partially embedded the ground in a long, burnt trail that bared soil of the soft grasses once there.
The cause of the damages to nature sat in an almost submerged crater, in a rather awkward ball of limbs and fur and feathers and wings rolled over onto it's back and upside down with the rump settled against a wall of soil.

Physical Description: Gwyneth stands at a modest height of 5'8". She is very slim and slender- to the point that people may worry of breaking her by bumping into her. Runes adorn most every part of her body, trailing down her arms, on the palms of her hands, and down her long limbs. Her gray hair is typically half braided back but allowed to flow freely.
Clothes and Equipment: She is typically seen wearing her worn and weathered hooded cape and a long dress that trails along the ground. She wears a thick leather belt that had various powders, liquids, and odd talismans hanging from it. She also carries a large gnarled staff with her with a glowing golden stone within it that hums with power.

Gwyneth was lounging against a mossy rock, completely at ease as she cataloged her recent find. The flowers of the moon drop tree were elusive but she'd just managed to find quite a few this evening, following the whisper of the wood. It seemed like just enough for her to brew new sleeping draught that would let even the most turbulent of sleepers rest easy. A small smile graced her face as she finished scrawling out the label in the flickering light of the crystal of her staff. She always enjoyed when things quietly came together without a huge fu-
Before Gwyneth could even finish her thought she was jolted both physically and mentally as a ominous crash resounded through the once peaceful wood. The half fae startled, nearly spilling her collection jars as she was inundated with cries from the forest that something had devastated an entire grove and several elder trees with it. Though she hardly needed the cries. She could have surmised that much herself with the mighty tremor that shook the earth.
She grit her teeth as she took up her staff and quickly finished packing up. She could already feel the forest crying and urging her investigate what had wreaked such havoc. It wasn't as if she would be able to fight well if it was truly a threat, but she'd be able to at the very least communicate better than a stump of tree.
Properly packed she looked around waiting for the forest to open for her, and when she saw the trees and grasses part for her towards presumably the site of the disturbance, she took off as fast as her feet could carry her, moss and grasses softening her steps so whatever it was, would not be able to hear her approach.
She came upon the site soon enough, her eyes widening as she saw the lip of the massive crater embedded into the earth. Treading more cautiously now she crept forward, her grip on her staff tight with a shield charm on her lips as she ventured to the lip and chanced a glance inside to see what lie there, her lips parting in surprise at the mass of feathers and fur. She frowned and pursed her lips eyeing the creature? before she slowly stepped nearer. Was it hurt? What was... it? Was it even alive?

The balled creature seemed unmoving for several moments, and then something of a soft but deep rumbling sound from the heart of the being - akin to a dozen purring cats. It began to wiggle, the head flopping back on the odd long neck to reveal a stark, smooth, white bowl like a mask but with no slots for a mouth or eyes. It shifted side to side, much like a cat trying to roll off it's spine to find it's paws - which were almost exactly what it had for hands or feet.
Soon it flopped over in a heavy huff onto it's side, rolling atop two wings and stretching out the other pair high - one set massive by comparison of the much smaller pair that settled below the former pair, thus showing off one of each as it stretched. The tail flopped about as it tried to untangle itself. Four legs, quivering slightly and unorthodox in coordination, struggled to push itself upright whilst trying to get off the wings. Just a few more moments cued it's frustration as the limbs scrambled and the four wings and single tail flopped about almost madly - casting soft white fur and jet black feathers around itself - as the purring faded.

Gwyneth couldn't help herself. As the creature stirred and shifted, suddenly getting up to its feet she let out an undignified yelp and found herself plopping down onto her rear end- having tripped on an errant rock as she had jumped. The odd purring had almost lulled her into a sense of calm as she had crept forward. Not daring to look towards the beast she scrambled over- as quick as she could manage to grab her staff.
In her state of disarray, she even forgot she could merely summon it back to her hand.

By the time that the creature found it's feet free of each other and the feathery limbs, it was already in a shower of feathers and light, sparkling dust - before flopping forward one more time and landing flat on the broken ground once more. It heaved a heavy sigh, seeming to exhale through a nonexistent orifice in the mask - making a dust cloud poof up before it's face.
Then two slits formed over the smooth face, positioned perfectly for a pair of closed eyes, that changed in a blink to a pair of open sockets. There were no eyes within the sockets of the mask - only emptiness. But the openings shifted and blinked like they were the eyes. The head lifted up a little on the llama-length neck and turned about before pointing at the female creature that was scrambling after her stick.

As her fingers wrapped back around the weathered wood of her staff, she let out an audible sigh of relief, yanking her staff back up and across her lap in a defensive position as her head flopped back. She really needed to get better at controlling her reactions when surprised. Growing up amongst the trees though where nothing ever really changed or surprised you, it would make anyone complacent.
She closed her eyes for a second, calming the thudding of her heart in her rib cage before she became aware of eyes watching her. She blinked and opened her eyes only to meet that of the strange creatures' and she blinked again before letting out a yelp hurriedly scrambling back up to her feet. She held her staff in both hands for a moment before trying for a hesitant smile, her hood long having fallen off her head, the tips of her ears pointing out from her blonde hair and her runes glinting slightly in starlight. "H-H-Hello there. Y-You're not from around h-here are you?" She asked once she caught her breath again, frozen in place. She was fully aware of the fact she'd likely not get a response from the creature but it typically helped when she did attempt to communicate. Both her and the animal in question. "...Are you hurt? You s-seem to have made quite the landing if you can call it that."

The hollow eyes blinked as Gwyneth spoke, and the head tipped a little to the side. Then the head came straight up and bobbed on the neck as the eyes narrowed to a pair of twin arches on the mask. From there it actually stood up with care this time, the four legs wobbling just a bit before it was steady. From there it leaned back and streeeeetched the forelegs hard, flexing the wiry paws that almost resembled hands and raising the entire tail in a gentle wave that seemed to fly several feet high until the tip flicked and it came back down like a fluttering flag. Then it leaned forward entirely and streeeeetched the hind legs just the same while the neck reached straight up, as well.
After a very fluffy shake that poofed the fur and feathers following the stretching, the head swiveled and it watched over the wings as the larger lifted to allow the smaller pair to fold neatly - and then folding the first pair down over them. A much smaller wiggle seemed to smooth everything back out, and the creature took it's first tentative steps forward while lowering it's head to a less threatening height for it's size - still looking at Gwyneth as it slowly meandered up the roughly made ramp in the dirt from the crash.

Gwyneth's eyes widened as the creature slowly made its way towards her looking at her with what seemed to be unseeing eyes. She swallowed thickly as she shakily released the grip on her staff with one hand. Something was a bit... unsettling about the creature. Especially considering she couldn't seem to communicate with it effectively. She couldn't speak with animals- that would just be ridiculous as animals didn't speak a human tongue- but she typically could detect and decipher a mixture of their feelings, rudimentary thoughts and body language. All she could decipher from this creature so far was it's body language which set off a touch of unease within her. It was typically only the most feral she could not commune with and though the creature didn't look as if it meant harm- that was still in the realm of possibility.
She reflexively lowered her head and body lower to the ground, pointing the crystal of her staff that hummed with energy away from the creature to show she also meant no harm. "Y-You seem to be walking alright though. Flying however, maybe not the best considering how we find ourselves here." She took slow steps back up the ramp of the crater, not quite trusting the creature to get to close. "I've not encountered something quite like you though so I wouldn't know I suppose... Where have you come from?"

As Gwyneth stepped away, the creature stopped dead in it's tracks and watched her with those hollow eyes. Then they began to shift with a slight slant upon the outside of either one rather than an angry cut on the inside of the eyes. Then the head tipped up and looked directly to the dark sky above after the female spoke. After staring up at the stars for a few seconds it lowered the head again to stared at her once again - not taking another step towards her.

That singular motion actually made Gwyneth still in her retreat. Especially as she processed the facial expression that looked almost... concerned? Distraught? Saddened? By her slow retreat. "You can... You can understand me... can't you?" She asked slowly before glancing up quickly at the sky where the creature had gestured. "You are... from the sky then? Were you... flying over and got separated from your family?" She asked cautiously again worrying a bit if the creature had been hurt. If a hunter had seen the creature, they might've shot an arrow at it and taken it down. "Are you sure you are not hurt? I am a healer. I can help you." She offered subconsciously taking a step towards the beast, her own need to heal greater than her self preservation.

The head bobbed a few times when the first question was posed and the slant on the eyes filled right back in.
However, when the inquiry was posed about being injured the winged beast sat back on it's haunches and proceeded to examine itself all over. It peered under one paw and then another, placed them down and stretched out a hind leg to look it over, retrieved the leg and twisted it's head around to look along it's back... which then turned into a momentary chase after it's fluttery tail despite the length of the limb.
It seemed well enough and sat back down while facing Gwyneth, the eyes squinting to those twin arches again for a short while. When the eyes filled out once more it lowered itself down to the ground and began to scoot towards her with it's belly in the dirt, keeping the head low and hovering just above the ground.

Gwyn couldn't help the little giggle that passed her lips as she watched the creature attempt to chase its own tail like a puppy. She covered her mouth as she collected herself. "W-Well you seem to be feeling just fine." She said letting out a small giggle again as she watched as the creature crept towards her. This time she didn't retreat when the creature got close, actually crouching down and slowly sitting in the dirt, one knee tucked under herself and the other bent in front of her. Was she being too careless? Probably. But the creature didn't seem to mean her any harm. She extended her hand out, her palm up, and her fingers curved slightly in so the creature could get a sniff if they wanted. "Please don't bite my fingers if you are going to bite me. I need them to make medicine."

The creature continued to wiggle and shuffle closer until it's smooth face was almost touching her fingers via the fully extended neck. It inched forward just enough so that Gwyneth would make a very gentle contact. She would find the mask-like face was, indeed, smooth but just as warm as a living body - and surprisingly just as soft as flesh.
The biggest surprise, however, was the slight pulse of energy that she might feel through her hand - followed swiftly by a thought popping up in her mind, and perhaps she might here a faint, feminine voice in her ears that accompanied that singular thought: "Hello."

Gwyneth smiled as her hand slid over the creature's face, her brows raising a bit when instead of feeling a cool outer carapace her fingers encountered the warmth. Her fingers skated over the masklike face in gentle movements until she felt the pulse and she paused blinking rapidly before turning around to see if there was someone else. It was instinctive because surely this creature couldn't...
When she saw no one else she turned back to the creature, her hand still lightly resting on their face. "Was that... Was that you?" She asked slowly her hand resuming it's gentle stroking, almost in a reflex.

After Gwyneth spoke in turn, the creature pushed a little more into her hand and crept closer - remaining low to the ground but seeming more at east in it's movements instead of craning to touch at a distance. Again, the voice hummed in her ears softly and the words would cross her mind. "Yes! Yes, it was! You can hear me!"
The purring resumed from the center of the creature's body, growing louder until it was a considerable hum once again.

Physical Description: Gwyneth stands at a modest height of 5'8". She is very slim and slender- to the point that people may worry of breaking her by bumping into her. Runes adorn most every part of her body, trailing down her arms, on the palms of her hands, and down her long limbs. Her gray hair is typically half braided back but allowed to flow freely.
Clothes and Equipment: She is typically seen wearing her worn and weathered hooded cape and a long dress that trails along the ground. She wears a thick leather belt that had various powders, liquids, and odd talismans hanging from it. She also carries a large gnarled staff with her with a glowing golden stone within it that hums with power.

Gwyneth blinked rapidly as she dropped her knee and leaned forward intrigued. Her hand still lightly rubbed over the mask-like appendage. Flora was her strong suit, but fauna still intrigued her, especially when she encountered something wholly new. "I can... I can understand... most creatures. I thought it was strange I couldn't hear your voice... What are you? What is your name? I've never come across anything like you before. And I am more well-traveled than most could say." She continued gently as she sat with her legs crossed under her. She seemed to be completely in awe of the being before her.

Physical Description: A mystic sphinx seemingly birthed from the stars. The creature stands on all fours, seemingly built as a lithe, feline-esque creature with spindly legs and a curvy torso - though most of the main body is adorn in fine, silky-soft fur and feathers in a soft starry glow white or stark night sky black.
The dark feathers make up most of the twin pair wings folded along the back.
The thin, long legs are tipped in delicate cat-like paws - though the little toes seem to unfurl a bit and give almost completely open palms despite the slightly offset thumbs. These limbs are warm in white fur.
The tail flexes and flicks much like a feline's tail, though it begins in fur and changes in a very subtle shift to feathers that grow in size to the rather large ones that make a soft, rounded end to the limb - all a soft white and light snow grey mix.
The slightly elongated neck bears a rather mysterious head, which has no real face or features. Instead, it seems a slightly rounded mask sets in place of the face - white with some smooth accents in grey around the seemingly empty eye sockets. Just above the "masked" face protrude a pair of horns at the placement of the temples, but they seem to be more ethereal than solid or bone - and seem to shift and wave almost like smoke to constantly change shape.

The wide eyes once again shifted to the happy arches as Gwyneth continued to pet the beast. "I am Nereida. I'm a..." The arches became whole again. "A Nereida? I dunno - that was all I heard when I fell. So I am Nereida!" she chirped through Gwyneth's head. A fine mist, almost unseen, began to swirl and shape into a pair of thin antlers with few points upon her head, though the shape was never quite definite and seemed to shift like wisps of smoke. When the new, ghostly appendages came into view, Nereida lifted a paw up and swiped at them a bit - where they broke like smoke and shifted in design again - before looking at her paw. "Huh. I felt those."

Gwyneth blinked in awe, her lips parting slightly. "Fascinating... You heard your name... When you fell... Fell from the... Sky? I know you had said you were from the sky... but where? One can't just come from the sky...Could they?" She finished with a question, her brow furrowing. No, no it would be impossible for her to just... come from the sky. That made no sense.
But then, stranger things had happened. She was raised by the trees. "....But why are you here then? Why aren't you still... in the sky?"

Nereida continued to stare at her cat-like paws for a short while longer, flexing the toes and watching the pink pads wiggle. Her head would come off Gwyneth's hand for just a moment as she examined them, remaining in silence all the while. When she finally looked back up to the woman, she just stared in continued silence for a while longer.
Then the eyes got a bit wider, and she dipped her head to settle her face against Gwyneth's hand again. "Oops! You didn't hear me, did you?"
