PA - Erre Coalition - High Speed Delivery
Kovaithe sat completely still atop a random rock that was just sticking up out of the ground, around her the sound of the ocean was lost in the shear business of the area, folk of all types hustling and bustling around the portal hub. Her ears pricked as she heard the faint voice of Meiron, her three tails swishing happily. They halted though at the sight of the second character with him, with blue hand on Meiron's arm, and coral growing from her, Kovaithe knew this one was important especially as the crowd parted for her, not a single person brushed past her. She cheeped a welcome as they approached, and the Phinae-Mar petted her. "Thank you again young one, to Spero-Mar this message needs to go..... look for a gecko." Kovaithe blinked, a gecko? The Phinea-Mar slowly walked back the way she had come, the crowd once more opening for her.
Waiting only until Kovaithe was on his shoulder before moving away from the swarming portal hub, Meiron's ears flattened, his polite facade vanishing as he growled at folks as they got in his way, his expression only changed once they were away, the ocean before them. Carefully he took out the message the phinae-mar had given him, and he passed it to Kovaithe to hold. "Keep tight hold of it?" Still to young to speak, she nodded gripping it tight in her front paws as her riders form shifted, bands of silver streaking across him as his form became larger, powerful wings flaring as the gryphon resettled himself. Meiron waited until he could feel Koviathe's tight grip, for she couldn't yet fly herself, but had been adamant on joining him on these excursions for the Erre Coalition.
With a powerful leap using his back legs, and sweeps of his wings and they were airborne, the old lady had told him which island the Spero-mar was on and the general area they could be found. Since the message was so important, she'd assured him he shouldn't be that difficult to find... shouldn't been the exact phrasing she'd used. Tucking his limbs in he streaked across the ocean, using the immense rock formations as landmarks and constantly checking in with Kovaithe, who literally had a death grip on the message she was carrying.
Kovaithe for her part looked out over the vast waters, the majestic rock spires that jutted from the sea, teeth in their own right, The speed in which her rider was going was new, she'd been flying before with him, but then he'd had lazy stokes not this. She gripped his fur tighter as he turned, sweeping around one of the rock formations. As time passed Kovaithe dozing, and yet she always made sure to keep the message safe, gripped tightly in her paws; a shift in altitude woke her fully and she yawned, eyes focusing on land that had appeared on the horizon, the sun far lower than it had been.
Meiron angled his wings towards the island, keeping a close on the jagged teeth that surrounded its beaches, spire after spire of sharp and deadly rock formations, a natural barrier against those who weren't welcome. His shadow covered the beach as he headed further inland, mental notes of landmarks as supplied by the Phinae-Mar until he finally came across a clearing, back winging slowly to land, his wings kicking up dust as he settled. Kovaithe only waited a moment as the gryphon checked the area before clambering down, waddling on her back legs as she looked around..... to find nothing but plants and certainly no gecko.
The shift also couldn't spot the Spero-Mar, but just before he called out, his dragon yelped.... and he looked down to see a gecko grinning innocently at them. "The lady Phinae-Marrr ssent uss." He drawled, hissing his words a bit as he laid down. "Sssshe ssaid it wass of upmosst imporrtance." Kovaithe slowly held out the message, blinking as the gecko did, only inching back once he gripped it himself.
