Tan Aislinn A large, soft pillow greets you as you peer into a crate. On it is a single half-formed lens. Curious, you turn to ask Kephra about it, when a large tan form swoops over your head and through the opening. The minidragon glares at you and sheilds the lens with one powerful wing. :Well: snaps the minidragon, :It seems some people have few manners. Barging into a home like that.: She peers at you intently and you apologize. :It's all right human, it just that I don't want fingerprints or scraches on my glass. I'm still learning how to get my powers down to the level of perfection I need to make lenses. My name is Aislinn.: She nods over to the telescope you saw earlier. :To make one of those requires at least two lenses, more lenses preferred. The sand must be very fine and melted evenly so the glass is not uneven. Imagine being able to see, in detail, the other planets, or maybe comets.: Aislinn trills slightly. :Amazing, wouldn't it be? But the larger the lens, the harder I think it's going to be to make it.: Sneaking your eyes beyong the lens, you see a small magenta coloredform nuzzled at the end of the crate. Her wingtips ae lightly edged with tan, and her tail has a sublte gradient to a darker purple. :That is Fala,: Aislinn Interjects, moving slightly so that you can get a better look. The pink and magenta seems to swirl before your eyes. :She is my daughter, and Latham's too. We wished to have a flight, but when Latham broke his wing we decided it was for the best if we did not. You can read our story here if you'd like.: Check the journal for more information on Aislinn. |
