[Open] How to Save a Kelvic

[Raylin Sunsetfeather]

With a quick nod to the older woman, Raylin went over to the other side of the young woman. She carefully helped the woman sit up. She then carefully put a arm around her waist and her closest arm on her sholders. She held onto the woman's hand and said, "On three, your going to try to stand up. You can lean on me for support. If it hurts or if you feeling that something is wrong, tell us."

With a small smile Raylin said, "1, 2, 3." She carefully started to stand up.

[Khiara]

Standing on the three, Khiara supported the young woman between herself and Raylin, careful to make sure she was standing before they began to walk. As they moved slowly, the crowd parted and people began to drift their own seperate ways - excitement over for the moment. The vantha kept her swirling eyes on the tents, looking out for Kayiri's own pavilion.

"Do you have a name?" She asked the girl as they walked, trying to make light conversation until they reached their destination. It seemed best to avoid the violent episode for just a moment.

[Tebridiar]

She was being supported by the red haired girl, and the Khiara, who was by now obviously a Vantha… her hair seemed to shimmer strangely in the sun and her eyes were the strangest shade. Tebridiar could walk a little better, her head was beginning to uncloud itself, she could remember.

“My name’s Tebridiar. And I can ever repay you for the help you have given me, I’ll try my best.” She gave a strange grin, which was sort of a semi-grimace. Her jaw hurt, she had probably fallen on it somehow. “I’m well, I’m not a… human. That man was my Master, he got angry when I refused to stay with him.” She didn’t want to out rightly tell Khiara she was a Kelvic, perhaps she would guess?

“And I’m guessing you’re a Vantha?” She croaked. “Your hair and your eyes… they are unnaturally beautiful.”

[Raylin Sunsetfeather]

The young mixed blood simply followed the lead of the other woman. Her suspicions about her being a slave, now ex-slave was confirmed when she said the man was her master. Something conected in Raylin's mind when she said she wasn't exactly human.

"When you were yelling at that man, you said he mistreated you as a person and a horse. Does the part have to do with you not being human?" she asked. She didn't want to intrude, more she wanted to see if the two facts were conected. "You don't have to repay us, were just happy that your safe." she said with a smile.

It wasn't until the other red haired woman had said that Raylin noticed the other woman's beauty. The gold that swirled in her hair and eyes made her think of the gold rims around her own eyes.

[Khiara]

Khiara smiled as they walked, shaking her head a little as Tebridiar spoke of repaying her.

"The whale does not repay the ocean for carrying its weight, you owe me nothing. And yes, I am a vantha, we are touched by Queen Morwen's Lights. I lived in Avanthal and travelled a long way to visit Endrykas. I have married Vanator Denusk, and now, I am of the drykas too." Glancing at Raylin, the young brunette nodded and turned her eyes on the ground in front of them.

"Your a kelvic, aren't you?" She said softly, voice warm. Born into slavery without choice or change. Both Human and Animal, and bonded to their masters. A cruel life...but it could be controlled. Pygmy was free. The thought of the kelvic struck her heart. Goddess, I hope she's safe.

[Tebridiar]

Tebridiar loved how she spoke, it was a bit like a beautiful web being spun before her.

She had come far to get here… but it must be worth it. Endrykas was a truly beautiful place, and perfect for a girl who was, at heart, a horse.

“You became a Drykas?” Tebridiar asked, wondering how that was possible. “That must be amazing. They are truly wonderful people… they have so much respect for nature and animals, and they are so kind.” She smiled, looking around at the hustle and bustle of these people going about their daily business.

“And yes, I am a Kelvic… I can turn into a horse.” She nodded to herself. “So Endrykas is a wonderful place for me. I feel at home here already… they just welcomed me as if I was one of their own. I've not felt so happy, so... good. Not in years. But I haven't lived that long really.”

Compared to most races, she was a barely a child. But she felt older. Much like an animal, it didn't relaly matter what age they were, they just seemed to grow differently. Mature much, much quicker than people. But they had shorter lives so it was needed.

[Raylin Sunsetfeather]

After returning Khiara's nod, Raylin looked at the tents infront of her. "I'm half Inartan. My father is Drykas while my mother is Inarta." she said with a smile. She was proud of her backround. There was something about being a mutt that gave her a sense of uniqueness, something that could be found more on her father's side then her mother's.

"My mother and I felt the same way when we got here." Raylin said with a smile as she look over to the Kelvic. "My mother was so suprised that there was so much hospitality that she almost fell over!" She laughed at this as she remember the day she came to Endrykas.
