It was a fairly ordinary day on the First all things considered. The Crystarium was taking shape nicely, growing from a small collection of huts and homes into a proper city. There was much work yet to be done of course but a wall had been built and the first bricks laid for what would become a beautiful domed city.

But that was for the future. For the present the Crystal Exarch was leading a small group of guards on a patrol to take care of any Sin Eaters that might threaten the few trade routes they were trying to preserve. As expected they did encounter a group of the white creatures. Fortunately it was a short and swift battle since the Sin Eaters had been distracted by something.

After checking on his soldiers the Exarch went to look for himself since it was unusual for the creatures to be so focused. What he found was a small, unusually vibrant blue bird. One that seemed to have been injured.

"Easy there little one." The Exarch said softly as he knelt down to try to gently pick up and examine the bird. "I haven't seen your kind around before. Did you come from Il Mheg perhaps? I do hope you aren't suffering from a pixie's magics to end up like this."
