:Let's start with the Healer Hall. Its just over here.:

Kendrin leads Ashling to a large squared thing with slightly reflective see-through rectangles. There are animals and non-animals, humans, walking in and out of a swinging rectangle. "Okay I know a healer is someone who fixes hurts, but what is a hall?"

:A hall is a building.: Ashling looks dumbfounded. :I have never met a human who didn't know what a building is.:

"I am not a human, they are dirty stupid things. They fight over pieces of land for stupid reasons and destroy everything around them. The great Eagle Mage Urtho is fighting the evil human Mage Ma'ar right now to stop him from hurting everyone. Its on the other side of the world but my parents told me how both Mages are fighting and that it could change the world even over here."

:Did your parents tell you what species the mages are?:

"They told me Ma'ar is a human. They never said what Urtho is. But only an Eagle could be as noble as he is on that side of the planet. Heck they don't even have dragons over there."

:Dragons? They are a myth. And you are a human. You are fur-less, stand on two legs, have two arms one head, have long black hair with golden streaks, green eyes, have no fangs, claws, horns, or wings, therefore your human.:

Ashling flinches slightly at the wings comment. "Well I'm sorry my parents adopted me. They are all I know, and I have never been outside the grotto, that I can remember. The closest human settlement my parents had to fly to and they only did that to get me cloths and my swo… swor… swords." Ashling starts to cry to hard to talk. She sits on the ground and curls her legs up to her chest.

Kendrin lays down behind her and nuzzles her with his nose. :Its okay you have me now: It looks like Kendrin is blushing. :So your parents are dragons?:

"Uh NO. I would not wish that on any of my family. Carnivorous, political, flying, ego, maniacs."

:How many have you met?:

"Only the for-scouts that wanted to eat my friends."

:Then what are you?:

"I can't tell you. I promised my parents that I would not tell anyone that they existed. They told me especially not to tell the hornless."

:So you could tell a dyheli.:

"A dyheli." Ashling stops to think. "Nope, cant tell them, wrong horned"

Ashling feels a grazer beyond Kendrins protective presence. "Cousin why are you trying to sneak up on me?" Ashling turns around to face the female grazer. She uses Kendrins side as an armrest so she can lay her head on her arms while facing the new arrival. As Ashling looks at the new arrival she notices that she looks like a smaller version of a dyheli, she has slimmer but more muscled legs, a longer torso and the head seams larger for her size. "You're a dyheli right?"

:Yes how did you know? My name is The Sound of Wind Through Grass.:

"Except for a few structural differences you look just like my friend Rain on Water. But if you don't know I can't tell you."

:If you can't tell me can I try to find out? I came over here because it felt like a safe field over here.:

"Yes Two Tones do, do that. That's why we have to learn how to fight."

:Well that's good. Since you landed on the Companions door step per say the council has decided to go by our request to raise you like a trainee and house you with the chosen. We hope that you are destined to be one of the Heralds.: Said an authoritative voice behind her.

Ashling watched The Sound of Wind Through Grass beat a hasty retreat. Ashling turns around to see a large white figure. He is smaller than Kendrin but seams bigger. He has an aura of authority and looks similar to her Mother but different. "Why is one of the Great Spirits with the hornless. There loss was mourned but I didn't think that they got one of the Guilds because of it. What may I call you?"

:I am called Rolan. Why do you call me a Great Spirit?:

"Because you have the Golden Glow of Authority. We are taught to recognize it before we are weaned in most cases. I learned later than that but I'm adopted so I guess I'm a special case." Ashling tucks her hair behind her ear and scratches the pointed tip.

:I know you're an elf.: Kendrin bursts.

"Now that's just silly. Everyone knows there is no such things as elves."

:But your ears, they are pointed. Tear shaped but still pointed:

"I got them at my first chan.. My first sign of puberty. If you are around magic long enough it does become part of you."

:Rolan why are you telling her what the council division is?:

:Because of how she has talked to Firesong and from what you have shared with me, we figured that I should tell her not Talia. Magpie: Snicker. :Just take her to the Collegium and the Dean with sort her out tomorrow.:

"What's a Collegium?"

:A building.:

"I'd rather sleep in a stall like my mother told me humans make the hornless." Ashling gets up with the last comment and slowly inches her way towards the forested area.

:Who is this hornless you keep talking about? Horses sleep in stalls…: Kendrin follows that bit of logic then looks at Rolan. :Are we the hornless?: By this time Ashling has disappeared into the forest but she can still see both 'Companions'. :Where did you go?:

:Just let her be I don't think she has gone far. Besides I don't think she would like the city.: Replied Rolan.

Ashling climbed up a tree and curled herself up in the boughs. She started to sing herself Dreamers Lullaby that her parents always sang to her. She fell asleep while singing it.

A/N: Ashlings Song or Dreamers Lullaby is also a healing song. Its is a mixture of instrumental, singing, Mind voice, and a touch of Magic. It is sung in many languages like tree, bird, cat, wolf, water ect. To any who don't know the language it will sound like noise.
