Physical Description: Kauri has a complexion so pale that she seems to mimic the glow of the moon. Atop her head stands two long, thin coppery horns that seem unnervingly sharp at their tips.
Her eyes are similar to a cat's with a bright yellow iris and a slit pupil. The fingers on her right hand seem shorter and are fixed with long, sturdy claws most useful for climbing.
---------------------------------------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: -----------------------------------------------------------
Kauri's clothes seem somewhat colorful, sometimes scarce and sometimes superfluous depending on the ever-changing weather of her home. They're always slightly decorative, but sewn and forged with purpose.
She wears small amounts of armor, such as braces, breastplates, and greaves, but they're usually very small and are built more for movement than they are for protection.
She is skilled with a bow and sword, both of which she carries with her consistently. None of her weapons are terribly special, but they're sturdy and well made.

With a silent yip, Poala watched as Rawr Rawr swiped at the fairy and knocked it into the brush. Her mouth fell open as she watched the spot until she couldn't see the creature anymore, then looked up at her companion, who had struck so fast she had barely been able to catch it. Her gaping mouth turned up into a bright smile. Though she made no sound, her chimes of laughter were palpable.
Once the moment melted away, Poala looked down once more at the swiftly disappearing ground beneath them. Her little hands shook as she thought about letting go for even a moment and falling to her death. She rose questioning eyes to meet Rawr Rawr's, wondering where they were going and what the dragon's plans were. After all, if anyone should know, it was going to be him!

Age: 30
Physical Description: Alden is 6 even, with shoulder length messy black hair, and several days worth of beard stubble. He is handsome, with a powerful jaw, mid set cheek bones, and a perpetual grin that makes him seem younger than he really is. His bright green eyes, constantly sparkle with barely contained mirth. He has the lithe well muscled body of a swordsmen, and he moves with considerable grace and dexterity.
If one where to take more thorough examination of Alden's eyes they may notice a further detail. Around the outside edge of his iris's there's an intricate series of minuscule grey runes.
Alden rarely removes his shirt, but should someone see him with it off, they would find his body to be covered in scar tissue. Starting from just below his neckline, there is very little space that does not sport some relic of a past injury. A particularly observant person may also note that among these scars, some are a bright scarlet. These scarlet scars form an intricate series of runes hiding among the others.
Those of a more magical bent may be able to decipher the runes in his eyes and on his skin. Identifying them as sigils more commonly found on magical items. The most obvious effect of the runes on his body, are increased speed, strength, and durability.
The runes on his eyes give him the ability to detect magical auras and residue, as well as allowing him to see through low level illusions and glamours. They also maintain his vision regardless of the current light level, and even if there is a sudden shift. His eyes are also capable of dropping into the infrared spectrum in complete darkness.
The rune work on his body enhances his natural strength, speed, endurance, durability, and reflexes to almost super human levels. The effects make him a formidable opponent for most magical creatures though only because they are supplemented by exceptional skill.
This means that all though he is almost super human in a straight contest of strength or speed he would most likely loose to most other magically enhanced humanoids such as vampires or were wolves.
Alden's runes also greatly increase his healing rate allowing him to recover from injuries that would normally take a few months for a person to recover from in a few short weeks. Not only do Alden's runes accelerate healing they also enhance it. A normal persons body will repair itself until it is functioning again then stop, thanks to the runes Alden's body will continues to fix itself until it is in near perfect condition. His healing abilities enhance his already prodigious stamina as it repairs muscle damage and lactic build up and it also increases longevity as he does not accumulate long term damage as most people do.
Finally his body runes provide protection from people attempts to find him magically. Detection spells will be obfuscated their readings on his location being off by about 20 meters. Long distance scrying and tracking spells are only able to narrow down his area to somewhere within a mile radius. It should be noted that these protections can be overcome by someone with sufficient power or ingenuity.
His runes cannot be removed unless they are cut off of his body using an appropriate ritual knife and magic. If the runes are disrupted in any other way they will simply grow back in a few weeks time.
The final thing that only someone versed in rune craft and enchanting would be able to tell is this: The process of these runes being carved into his bodies would have been unbelievably painful. A normal person would have been driven insane or to suicide if they had this happen to them. During the carving process un-directed magical energies would begin to take hold and tear apart your soul. The pain this would not cease until the rune pattern was completed. This means the pain caused would be on a spiritual and physical level of incredible magnitude.

Rawr Rawr looked just as frightened and confused as she did. This may have been his Dwagon but he certainly wasn't at the helm of it. The massive creature seemed to be making its own decisions on where they were going and what they were doing. It starts to beat its wings and they go hurtling over a forest that was far, far bigger than the one they should have been in. The Grave's Estate was nowhere to be seen as they soar through the sky.
However, the dwagon seemed to know where it was going for it suddenly veers downward and a burst of flame erupts from its mouth scorching away the trees and for a moment it seems like they are going to crash. But the dwagon veers up just before they hit the ground barreling through the smoking remains of trees and suddenly there is a sound like shattering glass and they burst out of the woods next to the Grave's Estate.

Poala felt her body thrashed from side to side, the journey threatening to break her grip on the beast with every wingbeat. It was hard to believe that this thing had previously been a stuffed toy, as she could feel the movement of its bones and muscles beneath its scales, swore she could hear its heartbeat between breaths and felt the warmth of the fire as it spewed from its belly. The child did not scream anymore- such things were futile anyway- but her eyes were saucers and a shudder of awe swept through her tiny body.
Before she knew it, the dragon burst through the foliage, and there it was! The old estate laid out before them. She felt her heart lift higher than it had been a moment before. One of her hands lifted to clap onto Rawr Rawr as her grandparents came sprinting through the field to stare open-mouthed at the behemoth before them.
And there they saw it... both Rawr Rawr and Poala, sat upon its back!
"Are we telling Kauri and Alden about this?" asked Marcus.
"Of course we are. Do you think for one moment that the children aren't going to chat about this?" replied Elaine, rolling her eyes.

The dwagon comes to a bit of a skidding halt almost smashing into the house before it can dig its claws in to halt its momentum. Once it is still it lowers itself to the ground and the children are forced to get off as it begins to shrink. In just the blink of an eye the dwagon is back to its plush self and little Rawr Rawr picks it up hugging it tight.
His siblings come rushing in to ask Poala and him what happened and he takes her hand squeezing it tightly at the sudden noise. Then there is a flash of light and Alden comes sprinting out of the portal in full battle gear. He spots Rawr Rawr and the dwagon and his shoulders relax incrementally. "I am pleased to see that it worked."

Poala kept close to Rawr Rawr, her only solace his company in confusion as everyone began to swarm them. Her head swam to try and put together everything that just happened, to make sense of it all, but it was a lot for a four-year-old to take in.
When Alden swept through the portal, Kauri was right behind him, her chest heaving. She was just as confused as her niece... and her parents. She looked up to Alden as he spoke, brow pinching.
"Good to know what worked, Alden?"

His brothers and sisters quickly swarm the two, loudly demanding to know what had happened. Right until little Naoki told them all to quiet and then she reaches out and hugs her brother and soon Paolo and the rest are dragged into a group hug. The little girl was smart and could tell that Rawr Rawr was quite stressed out but family fixed most problems.
"I had his dragon enchanted to turn real if he got too distressed." Alden says as though a father giving his child a giant murder lizard was the most logical and obvious thing in the world. Then he is joining the group hug scooping up all of the children in his arms.

Kauri's expression was something between incredulous and nettled. For a few moments, she tried to work it through her head how he failed to let her know, finally decided that "It's Alden; of course he wouldn't think to tell me," and gave up her frustrations with a sigh. She knelt to scoop up the children in a hug and felt her shoulders relax knowing that they were safe now- whatever happened.
Poala would try to tell her with as many hand signals as she could manage later, but for now, she needed the assurance of safety and care of her arms. The large hug pile calmed her shakes a bit, even cleared some of the tears that wet her cheeks. She kept hold of Rawr-Rawr throughout, feeling her worries melt away.

The little family hugged it out for a while before they finally broke away. Settling as a group, with Rawr Rawr curled up in Alden's lap, the young boy slowly tells those gathered what happened. The litter seems to be excited, Caleb, Kae, and Moon Moon seem ready to spring off into the woods to find their own fairy adventure only being stopped by a stern word from their father.
"I may have to do something about that forest." It was clear that the graves estate was very close to a way into the fairy realms and if the children were going to paly here he really would have to ensure that they not fall into it and die.

Kauri quickly put a hand on Alden's chest, eyes wide. She didn't know what he would have done with it, but she saw how the man dealt with a lot of his problems, and that was to absolutely desecrate it. "I'll... speak to Grandma about a solution," she said quickly, trying to soothe him with a smile. "She has great knowledge on these topics and she asked me to come to her if I needed something. This seems like one of those somethings I can go to her for."
There was a twinge of nervousness in her gut about going to Isra's most powerful women about something so trivial, but it seemed more appropriate than allowing Alden to raze the place bare.
"How about some dinner. There's soup and hot chocolate! How does that sound?"
