Frozen Female Hatchling
Name: unnamed
Species: Crystal Rykeir
Birthday: Monday, August 5, 2013
Owner: zylle
Element: Air 
Newly hatched crystal rykeirs can barely be seen. They appear as nothing more than a darting purple shape, and rarely remai in one place for long. These rykeirs form strong bonds with their magi, and know where they are at all times. Once a connection has been established with their magi, the rykeir immediately disappears. No one is sure what these little ones do o their journeys, but most believe they are finding people in danger and protecting them. A young rykeir can be gone for just a few short hours, or even a full year. No one has ever witnessed a rykeir growing into their adult forms, but it is believed once they have matured, they quickly return to their magi.
This companions have the amazing ability of always being able to find their magi. It doesn't matter if the person in question has traveled to the farthest ends of the world, or deep into the bowels of the earth. Rykeirs become incredibly focused when searching for someone, and never give up. A fully grown rykeir companion is able to find their magi within a few days, traveling at great speeds. These creatures feel responsible for their magi's safety, and are always on the lookout for them. Rykeirs will protect other friendly humans as well, particularly children. They are truly selfless creatures, putting themselves at risk in order to save lives. Most magi enjoy having their rykeirs near them, as these creatures radiate a relaxing aura. Should a rykeir not travel for a while, though, this aura begins to fade and the companion grows weak. In order to replenish it, they leave for long trips, on the lookout for people to protect. It's not uncommon for crystal rykeirs to follow alongside lone travelers, guiding them through wild areas and ensuring no harm comes to them.
