Frozen Egg
Name: unnamed
Species: Kaeran
Owner: NellaFantasia
Element: Water
Even when on land, this little egg seems to be constantly wet.
Nothing is as sure a sign of the approaching summer than the arrival of the kaerans. When they fly overhead, those magi who are tired of the long winter rejoice, for warm weather is certain to follow. These creatures possess knowledge about the seasons that magi are envious of. When they deem it time, the kaerans fly away to undertake a long trip that has been traveled for countless generations. In the spring months, the journey is back to The Keep. The kaerans make their way back to the castle from the far south, migrating in a V pattern that everyone knows and recognizes. These companions, like many others, travel great distances to escape the colder months. Because they travel so frequently, kaerans are perfectly suited to travel. When they tire of flying, these birds land in the nearest body of water and to those watching, seem to disappear entirely. In truth, they meld with the water, and become all but impossible to find or capture. Kaerans can flow into any type of water; a river, ocean or stream. Smaller hatchlings can even practice their magic by disappearing into mud puddles. As one can imagine, this skill makes for very fast travel, as these birds are able to follow the current without any physical effort. The other use for this power is obviously protection. Kaerans perform this wondrous magic if ever in danger, and even the youngest hatchling is not easy prey. When one of these companions wishes to reappear in corporeal form, the kaeran's body rises and slowly transforms into its original shape. It is a truly graceful magic, and one more ancient than recorded in the oldest tomes.
