It hadn't exactly been Reed's intention to magically poof across the new lands when she wished she could find one of her friends she missed so dearly. She didn't know that the endless hole she had found in the ground, full of water, had been a sort of wishing well when she'd haphazardly tossed a leaf into it to test the currents of the water. It was a frightening sensation to suddenly be sucked into said wishing well, her body warping as the teleportation magic zipped her from one side of the continent to the other side. Reed landed with a thunk on the hard rainbow colored ground and groaned from the impact. She really needed to stop falling through random worm holes.  Welp, no time like the present to figure out where she was now. She didn't bother to figure out how she had gotten here. At this point, teleportation almost felt normal to her. "Sigh" she said out loud as she also sighed along with it. "I'm never going to find my friends at this rate." By friends, of course, she meant Balthazar and Pip. So, step by step, Reed made her way through the strange rainbow hillside. She felt exposed as she traveled with how little shrubbery and trees there were. Her exposure was confirmed when she crested a hill and looked over the other side, seeing a wolf laying and splaying their wings out around them.  Naturally, Reed may a beeline for the stranger, running and prancing down the hillside with her dagger and cutlass clanking together in her harness on her side. "Hey!" she shouted at the stranger, happy to see something else out here besides nothingness. "Hey! You! Hey!" She continued to call as she closed the distance between the two of them. By the time Reed got to the stranger, she was panting and talking through breaths. "Hey. Do you know where we are?" Only after she asked her question did Reed turn to actually look the stranger over. Her eyes noticed the damaged feathers and she wondered what the stranger had gotten into. Was there a monster at work here?

The physical contact made the connection between her Will and Shifty's strong enough for her magic to be a success this time. As the energy left her, she felt a drain on her own energy in return. She'd been hard at work since she'd first woke up and between the traveling and magic, was starting to feel fatigued. She had made a point of making sure her healing magic had been extra potent for him. Now, she was regretting it. "Hmph" she laughed as he tried to lecture her on not being aggressive right away. "I wonder what your history is to resort to aggression as a last resort, instead of a first. Maybe if you grew up like I did..." She let the rest of the sentence linger unspoken.  "Anyways. What I had in mind for a deal was this. Not only did I save your life, I also healed you too. So now, I figure you owe me right? Makes sense. But see, I'm a good wolf. I'm not going to hold helping someone over their head. You know why?" She paused momentarily, just long enough that Shifty might start to respond, then immediately started speaking again, cutting off any words he might have started to say. "That's not what Tsillah is all about. She's about empowering others, driving them to be the best possible outcomes of their selves. She sent me here to find you, to guide you down the right path. So, how about we make this deal instead. You come with me, back to my kingdom escorted by a Monarch, and you learn the ways of the Goddess who rescued you today." 

Washed up? He wondered if she meant that literally or metaphorically. The news of Kingdoms was a disappointing one - not only were their residents in this new land but apparently they had been here long enough to form Kingdoms. He groaned inwardly at the thought, but opted not to let it show on his face. Instead, he kept the thoughts at the side of his mind, opting to worry about the future second to what was going on now. Right now, Matthias and Roxanne were still in the presence of a stranger, about to encounter even stranger things. But, the lion could also pick up vibes pretty well... and he found he quite liked Reed's. "Roxanne, wait!" Off she went, her thirst for adventure being a pain in his tail yet again, and off he went after her, stallion backlegs kicking up dirt for a speedy take-off as he ran on all fours. Indeed, even as Matthias and Reed ran side by side, he couldn't help but to keep one eye on her. Not just because he didn't fully trust her yet, but also because... well, there was a lot to admire about her frame. He didn't think masculinity could ever look so good on a woman, but she made it work. He slows to a stop when they encounter the lizard Roxanne spoke of. It was bigger and brighter than he'd imagined, and it had colorful dots on its otherwise bleak form. Isn't the point of dull colors to keep animals inconspicuous? "Stay back," he declares to the leopard cub, instinctively placing the front half of his body between her and the lizard. 'I'll have your back, Matthias. Don't you worry.' He gives a nod of acknowledgement - now it was his turn to make an impression. "You got that right. Time to teach this Duplispozard a lesson!" Matthias would rear onto his backlegs, striking at the air with foreclaws out, before charging head-on at the Duplispozard. If successful, he would wait until their bodies were parallel to each other before grabbing the lizard by its tail and flinging it into the nearest wall, where it'll smack into it and slide down in a comical manner. The creature would attempt to flee, duplicating itself into multiple lizards in the process. If he fails, however, his grab at its tail will be met with swift retaliation - one that causes the lizard to latch onto his left elbow, releasing its tingling toxins into Matthias' body before it gets flung away, albeit not far enough to hit the wall. It'll still attempt to flee, duplicating itself in the process.

"It's not anything you listed, but I think it still shows my strengths." Enya watched as Eon reached up to his ear and ripped the long cord-like earing from it. Instinctually, Enya winced at the action. It was not long before a trail of blood dripped from where the earing had been torn from. She thought to reach out with her healing magic to seal the wound, but then thought better of it. No. If this was for Tsillah, if this earing had purpose to Eon, enough purpose for him to offer it to their Goddess, then the wound should not be healed. It was part of the ceremony now.  "Perfect" she affirmed to Eon before stepping backwards and drawing a circle into the shores of the creek. As she traced her paws, causing an indention in the sand and dirt mixture, a flow of hot steam followed, baking the ground hard to keep its shape. Simple but effective. "Here, why don't you place it here? Maybe on a rock in the center?" She lifted her paw and pointed towards the middle of her marking, then waited for Eon's next action. "Now, speak to her. Tell her that you wish to pledge yourself to her. Speak loudly, for there are many voices that she hears, but few she listens to."  Now, it was all up to Eon. Enya stepped backwards into the shadows, giving Eon space to speak (somewhat) privately to their Goddess. She lingered near him, however, in case he wanted her support, had further questions, or in case something uninvited showed up for a visit. No Ohr followers would intervene in this sacred prayer that was about to occur. Enya would make sure of it.
