Somewhere Among The Stars |
During their time in the jungle, Jaydin wakes up on a bright foggy morning with his bird, Zephyr missing. Alarmed he follows her footstep impressions in the moss. He finds her pecking at a stone statue that was a very strange shape. He climbs on her and soothes her with petting, and out of the corner of his eye he sees something small move. Examining the statue more carefully he sees its a stone giant of some sort. at the center of its chest, laid a small mound of mud that moved as if breathing. Curiously he poked it, and jumped back seeing its head turn switfly towards him. In its... almost head, laid two large orbs that reminded him of the marbles his grandfather used to collect. The small creature clung tightly to the inside of the cavity, one again hiding its face.
Opening his satchel, Jaydin brought out a small amount of bread and offered it to the little mud person. Not knowing what bread apparently was the little one only stared intimidatedly. Jaydin smiles at him reassuringly and takes a bite holding the rest out for the little monster to try. The mud golem takes the bit of bread and adsorbs it in an odd fashion, apparently enjoying the treat. Deciding to leave the little thing alone he walks back to camp with Zephyr, only to find it had followed him from the safety of its stone. Deciding hes befriended it he starts taking care of it and gives it the name of Claydle.
