Open RP for Shayiss, Nikkisha, and Zarae (and whatever other characters eventually enter).
1) Your character must be completely original. Your own species, your own design, your own story, etc. If they aren't, I won't reply.
2) You must reblog this post to reply.
Their foraging hadn't proved very fruitful today, Shayiss thought glumly. The girls had set to it with a will - but they still were inexperienced wilderness adventurers. He was no adventurer either, but he at least was a creature of magic. They were soft little things, not made for shucking it out in the forests. But they had wanted to explore the world - and it was his duty to protect them, as the line's guardian. He was created to protect them, after all. Sure, he wasn't exactly what the Mages had in mind when they had set about making a guardian for the line, but he had proven useful when the girls had decided to run away. He wasn't about to let them rough it out alone. The king and queen would have stripped his hide! They still would, for letting the girls convince him to go, but that was besides the point.
He sighed wistfully as he longed for the juicy dragonfruits of the orchards in the magic floating kingdom of Shay - the kingdom he was named after. Dragonfruits and meat were his favorite. Both of which were severely lacking as of late, as he was a poor hunter, lugging around two elven princesses the majority of the time. His senses were keen enough - but he lacked the time to practice due to the girls. Not that he blamed them, of course. But he desperately longed for something more flavorful than bread, and whatever vegetables and other fruits they managed to gather. He was an omnivore, but he was more carnivorous than frugivorous or herbivorous, pardoning the odd Dragonfruit.
He currently lay next to the small fire they had going - it wasn't quite night yet, just on the cusp of dusk, but a chill had already fallen and the girls were probably grateful for the warmth of the flames. He was a bit more warm blooded thanks to the fact he was a creature of magic, but that didn't help his charges. He mantled his wings, then stretched then upwards, the bones creaking from lack of use. They mainly walked. He didn't get to fly very often anymore. Technically he could retract his wings completely thanks to his magic, thus eliminating the aching feeling, but he was fond of the weight they had on his shoulders, so he kept them out most of the time.
Nikki and Zarae - those were the girls' names. Nikki being the younger by several decades. Nikki was short for Nikkisha, but she hated the long form for some reason. 'Nikki' sounded dreadfully human, but Shayiss grudgingly obliged to call her that because she would give him this awful puppy eyed look if he didn't. Zarae was much more reasonable, if he had to pick between the two of them.
Currently, both girls were busy cutting some vegetables to throw into a stew for a very late dinner. Vegetable stew was growing very dull in his mind. But food was food. He had his own task at the moment - using his rather dextrous paw he was scribbling away at a scroll. He was very intent at this task, as it was very important to him. He didn't write very often, so tonight was special. He was writing down a spell he had thought of earlier that day, that he needed to tweak before it would be functional.
With a final flourish of the quill, he nodded in satisfaction and blew on the ink so it would dry. It dried quickly enough, and he rolled the scroll up and tied it up with a bit of string, tucking it away in one of the girls' packs.
Now there was nothing to do but wait for the stew.
