Talakesa
Talakesa communicating with the Fae folk as Orion had taught her to do.

Talakesa was orphaned at a very young age, left basically to fend for herself upon the streets of Rhydin. Since before she can remember, she was always accompanied by an older "brother". Coridyn.Unknown to Talakesa, she is a half Blue Topaz dragon. Somewhat of a Draco Splendens and intermingle, if you will.

Talakesa lived on the streets of rhydin with her brother, until one day he disappeared. To date Tala has never known where he has went.He never explained to her, her heritage. Coridyn knew, what their species was, and felt that as Tala grew older, and could understand, he would explain their heritage to her. The pride in it, their habits, and instincts and how to maintain one form or the other.

Coridyn disappeared never fufilling this.

Upon Tala's brothers disappearance, she began to spend more time in the surrounding wood of Rhydin. As she began to see in a few other friends she had made in her life, where her life might lead she should she choose to stay in the streets of Rhydin.

Tala saw this in their eyes, as when the expression, selling your body became more and more commonly spoke about her as she grew older.Never *fully* understanding this, she did note that something seemed to harden and die in her friends eyes as the chose this route.


Summer Wolf

Tala soon learned how to fend for herself in the woods and began to prefer its gentle honsety to the hardened life of the Rhydin streets.Her human form is that of a budding young woman in her late teens.Luminous, almond shaped, tourquoise blue eyes, unobtrusive, and non judegmental, seem to gaze about the world around her, in a still childlike wonder.

Tala's height is not very tall, she stands at a mere 5'4.Her hair,is bound at the nape in a loose french braid. Carefree, errant wisps, frame her sunkissed cheeks. The coloring of her loosely braided hair is that of honey brown, streaks of stark pale blonde shot through, from hours in the sun dappled woods she loves so dearly. Her dress is that of a simple white, soft cotton spun gown. Her only adornment, a wedding band of Kreighton, on her left upper bicept.When Orion was gave it to her, she did not fully understand the true meaning behind its symbolisim. Later, upon realizing what it meant, she was deeply touched. Tala would have stayed with Orion whether he had chosen to take her as a mate or not, for they had intially formed a strong bond of friendship, which had slowly led her to fall in love with this gentle Prince of the Wood. She would have never asked more from Orion, despite the fact that she and his union begat a child. It was enough to merely have his companionship, though in her heart she would always love him, no matter if he chose to stay with her as a lover, or merely a friend.

Talakesa and The Silent Heart,Orion Opal Dragon Varlias

Near frozen from the severe winters eve, which had not been this bad in years, and hungry. Talakesa in the midst of a very harsh winter night, finally sought out Ironguard Hall.

Reputed to be a honorable and caring refuge, reknowned for its hospitality to strangers. Upon entering the hall, Tala was immediately welcomed to into the warm hall, seated at the bar, and despite her meager clothng, treated no differ than a nobleperson who may have happend upon the grand hall.After given a warm meal. Tala rose to leave, thanking the Lady Katherine who had prepared the meal for her,asking no coin from Tala in return for the food.

Tala was stopped at the door by the young angelic looking man, named Orion.

He had noted her threadbare clothing, and generously gifted her with a handspun lambs wool shawl. No words between the two had been spoken, for some reason, none were needed.Their eyes, gestures and smiles, spoke more than any volumes of words could have.

The Shawl was beauteous to behold. Slender threads, of gold had been painstakingly handwoven into the fleecy, soft white shawl. Delicate, multihued, wildflowers as well, had been intricately woven into the shawl, somehow preserved, still waifting their gentle scent. Knowing Tala could never afford such a luxury she offered to Orion the only possesion in the world of hers worth any value, a golden babes ring. He declined. As was his nature, pure of heart, to gift those in need of his own crafts. He offered to escort her home, he, not knowing that she had no home, but merely lived in her beloved woods, and had sought refuge only, that eve due to the severity of that particular winters eve. It was from then on they formed a life long bond.
