[QUOTE="Wrahn, post: 1354600, member: 9191"] [COLOR=RoyalBlue]”It was the courage of the Sharalik that brought you here, I merely was the guide, as were you.”[/COLOR] Aesa/Coreagen responds to his question. [COLOR=RoyalBlue] “The food here at our Fountain Home should last for a while, but even here, eventually the food will dwindle and again the Sharalik would be forced to move. This is because we become out of balance with what your mother provides.” [/COLOR] [COLOR=RoyalBlue] “It is as a pool fed by a spring.”[/COLOR] Coreagen lifts Aesa’s arm and closes her eyes. A spring of water begins to fill a depression near the gathering. [COLOR=RoyalBlue]”A certain number of animals can drink from the pool, too few and the pool with over run it’s boundaries.”[/COLOR] Several small creatures come forth and begin to drink from the pool, but the pool overfills and begins to drain to the river. [COLOR=RoyalBlue]“Too many and the spring will not be able to maintain the pool and it shall dwindle till it can no longer maintain itself and the animals have nothing left to drink.”[/COLOR] More, larger animals appear, the pool quickly is drank leaving little or nothing left, the animals all leave, the pool begins to slowly refill. [COLOR=RoyalBlue]“The fish are like this pool, and at the Sharalik’s previous home, you had drank too much.”[/COLOR] [COLOR=RoyalBlue]“It is a riddle, as is life. You can not drink as much, but then you will become weak with thirst. You can maintain a constant number that is in balance with your mother, but then your numbers will never grow and you will not have the joy of children. You could move from pool to pool as need requires, but the world is dangerous.”[/COLOR] [COLOR=RoyalBlue]“The answer lies with your mother. She loves her children, just as I do. She will help you if you know how to ask.”[/COLOR] Aesa giggles a little as she is instructed what she needs to do. Lead my Coreagen she sings an odd harmony, calling to the spirits of the water. It is oddly beautiful and compelling. When she is done, nothing happens. Aesa laughs in pure joy, “Their coming, their coming!” she runs to where the little spring is gurgling up water. She squats down looking closely at it. Distinctively, Coreagen laughs, [COLOR=RoyalBlue]“Aesa child, I think they love you a little too much, it is best if we take a few steps back.”[/COLOR] As Aesa takes several steps back, a low rumbling can be heard. Suddenly, from the spring a huge gout of water shoots up.
