Celi carefully cradle the piece in her hands distributing the weight so that it was perfectly balance, but also holding where the light would be able to illuminate the colors and details. To any other this would had been a curiosity, perhaps an artist's mistake or maybe a piece that was sold on accident when it was meant for the creator's own home. But Celi didn't think it was strange. For some reason the little piece felt comforting.

A soft murmur told that her parents were waking up and Celi returned the wyvern to her bag after carefully rewrapping it. It didn't take long for Oliza and Nicias to be fully awake and both of her parents took a moment to stretch before they shifted form. Celi watched as her parents took flight before she shifted form and flew after them, her bag clutched in her talons.

The sun was fully up when they arrived at Wyvern's Court and landed. Celi carefully folded her wings then dismissed them as she gazed around in awe, her first glimpse of the land where her parents had been born, the land where she was meant to be born but it had not happened. Their arrival had obviously not gone unnoticed as three birds suddenly dropped out of the sky and shifted human as they landed. One bird was not like the others, she was tall and slim with golden sun-kissed skin that made her golden hair and eyes glow brighter.

Celi watched the stranger hug her mother before Oliza seemed to remember about her and her mother turned with the woman. "This is our daughter...Celi." her mother said, her eyes glowing with something that Celi had not seen before. Did her mother really miss her old home this much? So why did she leave? "Celi, this is your grandmother, the Tuuli Thea-" "Former," Danica interrupted. Her eyes still calm and collect, Celi wondered how she did it. But then she remember one of the old things that her parents had told her about. Avian reserve.

Oliza's eyes widened as did Nicias' as if the pair could not believe it, but Celi looked between them in silent confusion. She suddenly felt skies away from her parents, from this world. Would she ever belong?

"You mean Sive...?" Danica nodded. "Twins actually, and they should be close to her age." she said, looking back at the young wyvern with those still golden pools. "Who is her Alistair," Celi's father asked. Danica gave a small smile, hard to notice but definitely there. "Come and see."

It was later that Celi was finally able to explore on her own. Even though her cousins were interesting, though for twins they were as different as could be, it was good to get away from all the newness of this place. The woods were very tempting and it wasn't like nobody said that she couldn't go so it had to be okay. Besides she would be back before they worried.

The wyvern flew through the woods, her whip-cord body carefully dodging the tree trunks before she landed. Celi looked around as she caught her breath and gave her wings a chance to rest, they still slightly ached from the long journey from the coast.

Her eyes suddenly detected movement of dark and pale and she shot after it like an arrow. Her keen eyes easily kept the shape in sight, weaving through trees as she struggled to see what it was that she was looking at or following. It was obviously an animal, but yet it looked like nothing that she was used to seeing. Celi dove.

"Wait!"

"G...go away!"

Celi blinked as the animal spoke to her but drew back quickly, watching as the animal ran smack into another, this one lacking the scales that Celi had just noticed on the female, the voice sounded like a girl her age though maybe a tad older. The impact sent the two animals tumbling in a tangle of limbs and yelps before they settled in a small clearing where Celi landed. She got ready to move closer to the pair, but stopped as another figure landed. Celi froze, her eyes going wide.

The two creatures peered at each other with wide eyes.

"You...you're just like me."
