Reprieve from the scorching heat of a ruthless desert is always a relief that one deigns to find, yet the expected can always be subverted by the unexpected. When one finds oneself surrounded by mystical culture that go beyond your understanding, interesting things can occur.
Brushing apart the doorway of the decadent tent allays any suspicion or tension from the summoning in this strange land, a gentle figure awaits your meeting with elegance. Her head lifts in a graceful motion and then bows itself respectfully low in greeting to your presence, curling her claws slightly to beckon you closer thereafter. "Greetings, unknown one. What is thy name? The story of how you ended up here is rather fascinating."
"I see, that's quite the beautiful name. I am Nihanaru, it is a pleasure to meet you. I trust you find our festivities and culture pleasing and welcoming despite the unusual introduction? Or perhaps it might seem uncomfortably foreign to you?" Her smile emits such disarming, charming and motherly energy unconditionally as she listens to your tale with passionate intrigue. It's not long before halfway she has invited you to share a moment of respite and unique fare with her on that soft and smooth rug beneath her visage, sheltered from the grainy sand as you weave your tale freely to her attentive ears.
Once the tale of your strange arrival has been shared with the large and radiant Xalakai, she invites you to lay close to her, back against her chest and belly as that smooth purple wing lowers to drape you in its comforting warmth, velvety texture and protective aura. "Thank you for sharing above and beyond that which I asked. I see your tension, your worry...Would you like me to craft you a poultice, or perhaps sing you a song?" She asks with such calmth and grace, her tone betraying no ill will or means of offense.
"If so, close your eyes...Let it wash away like sand in the tide, hold me as tightly as you wish me to hold you..." Her words turn to silk and her voice soothes aches, pressure and pain. "You are safe here. We will get you home. I promise."
Perhaps...You already are?
I invite you to listen with me.
Allow me to introduce you to Nihanaru, another one of my Xalakai.
She is a shamanic healer that specializes in crafting poultices, remedies and panaceas; as well as being a gifted singer with inherent and powerful ties to the ancient energies of her ancestors, which is thus used as a source of energy and power to fuel her healing capabilities. A motherly touch through and through, she is innocent, pure and wishes to see the good in all and every; as well as allay any suffering she can, even beyond her own race and at great personal cost.
This picture is so utterly beautiful, I thank zionnefitta greatly for bringing this character to life in such a magnificent way.
