Frozen Egg
Name: unnamed
Species: Coral Araxie
Owner: zylle
Element: Fire/Earth
This little egg has fine aqua stripes and what appear to be dark leaves sprouting from its shell.
In the farthest depths of the oceans, where even powerful narwhals dare not go, live the araxies. They have remained hidden for countless centuries, unnoticed by the world above as the years passed slowly by. Very little is known of their history, save for a few ancient legends. Despite their mysterious nature and extreme isolation, coral araxies are not cruel creatures and seldom act violently towards others. No creature dares to strike an araxie, and it is not known if one has ever lost a battle or even engaged in one. This may be in part to the fact that they are hard to see, as their beautiful markings serve as camouflage. There is also the matter of their extreme shyness. Coral araxies hardly ever leave the safety of the ocean floor to emerge from the water. A young one may be adventurous enough to do so once or twice, which accounts for the few sightings of these creatures. Throughout history, a few sailors would tell tales of strange beasts seen while traveling, but these stories were never believed. Not until recently, when araxies became companions of the magi. It was a coincidence that uncovered this race; a lone narwhal companion was wandering through deep waters, became lost, and stumbled upon several eggs. The narwhal carefully brought the eggs to the surface, and it was then that this ancient race was discovered.
