Frozen Male Hatchling
Name: unnamed
Species: Constella
Birthday: Sunday, March 29, 2015
Owner: zylle
Element: Void 
Appearing tiny at first glance, hatchling constellas have an elusive quality to them that extends as far as changing their own size on occasion; they appear to expand come the gloaming. They give off a faint shimmer of illumination during the night hours, no brighter than starlight, and as the sun comes up, completely eclipsing this illumination, both their light and their size fades back until they appear much as any other, more ordinary bird. While still young, they have the power to briefly become insubstantial to avoid predators, although they lose this ability when they mature.
Sailors had ancient stories of these birds long before they were ever seen at the Keep, brought there by a wandering Magi whose focus of study was on the night sky. He spent most of his time at the far northern regions where long winter nights gave him much scope for his research. It was in the summer, however, that he discovered these elusive companions. Never afterwards able to fully explicate the process, records from the time give only a hint in his phrasing: "The stars sang to me one night, and in the pale blue dawn as the constellation disappeared, the singing remained -and it was coming from my new companion".
