STATS
Name: Xilla
Age: Undead
Gender: Former Female
Race: Former Human
Class:
Lich

Description: Xilla's skin is an unhealthy greeny-grey that is not easy to conceil. She has brown dreadlocks which is the only hairstyle that works for her as her hair won't grow anymore. She has red-brown irises and a somewhat unfocused gaze. Her lips are full and show more green than grey.
Personality: Xilla is a simple woman, she enjoys the luxuries in life that she can still savour: the feel of a cold tomb on a warm day, watching the night sky for falling stars beneath a soft blanket, listening to cheerful dirges... alas she can no longer taste nor smell but sometimes that is a blessing. Xilla has little need for grand adventures or grand destinies. She'd rather be left in peace to do as she wishes. She is neither cruel nor vicious but if anyone threatens her, she will retaliate.
Short Bio: Xilla was born a regular human in a bustling town that was just big enough to offer education and dreams to a young girl. As her magical talent blossomed, others sought to dominate her, to use her for their plans. In a spell went horribly wrong, Xilla lost her old life and gained another. A life of travelling, of wandering, of chasing the sun and being chased.
Skills:
     *Magic: Xilla still has a lot of her magic and she uses it when she needs it. Her magic is spell-based and ritualistic.
     *Harmless Look: Xilla does not look like she can overtake you.
     *Hidden in Shadows: Xilla can fade into the shadow to hide and listen
     *Immortal: undead until her tethers are destroyed. Xilla will not volunteer information on where they're hidden.

SIDETRACK
Xilla walked on. She kept to the back roads and this time that meant crossing through a swamp. There was little that could harm a Lich so she was not really anxious. Most living things knew better than to approach her. Only the humans did not get the message.
A loud splash caught her attention and Xilla stopped. Curiosity had been something she hadn't been able to shake from her character. She'd been curious as a human and she still was. Leaving the sound be and moving on would be best. But 'Best' was overrated.
Moving off-road, Xilla quietly approached. Stepping in a dank puddle, she heard the splashing again and soon found what was making the sounds. A violet-coloured creature with once-white fur was splashing aorund int he swamp, looking completely satisfied if a bit worse for wear.
Seeing no imminent danger, Xilla wanted to step back, but that was not what the Terigon had in mind.
"Lady play with Uvoyuth!" she called.
"Play in the water?"
"Yeah! It's fun to make splashes!"
Xilla considered the request, it's not like the water would harm her but it was not really appealing. Maybe she could sidetrack the creature. Something more fun than water games.... or something with more appeal than a smelly swamp. Plenty of things came to mind.
"How about we go a nice field and I make a fire and we play and eat?" Xilla asked.
"That works! As long as we play!"
"Follow me."

BOND
"Xilla need dragon." Uvoyuth stated.
The Lich and the Terigon were on first-name basis now - it had been the whole of 5 hours and one serious play-session followed by a nice meal after all. Xilla looked at the little furball and tried to check whether or not Uvoyuth was joking. But the Terigon looked serious for once.
"Why do I need a dragon?" Xilla asked.
"Dragons big. Dragons protect. Dragons fun to play with." Uvoyuth explained.
"I've got you to play with though." Xilla replied.
"Not enough." Uvoyuth protested, "Xilla too powerful. Uvoyuth needs allies."
Xilla laughed. It had been too long since somethign had brought her such joy. So she humoured her new companion:
"Where should we go to get a dragon? I can't say I know where they're at."
"Uvoyuth take you!"
With little ceremony but some brilliant lights, Uvoyuth teleported the two of them away. It wasn't maybe her brightest idea, but the purple Terigon landed the two of them smack dab in the middle of a Pernese Weyr.... luckily a Weyr that was used to some shenanigans. Like how some people looked and smelled a bit off or how there were bright purple pets that could talk. Uvoyuth had taken them precisely where there were dragons though, a clutch lay waiting on the sands. Before they could even get up, news was shouted that the eggs were hatching and Xilla was swept along in the rush of people trying to see the event.
The dragons ahtching were not of a single breed, they were of mixed heritage with small, leathery wings, large ears, hooves on their paws and plenty of fur. They had stripes and gems encrusted on their hide and they bore all the colours of the rainbow. Because of their heritage they would be fast but not able to actually fly, they'd be more suited to gliding and would probably prefer darker environments. Xilla was impressed with Uvoyuth's good judgement.
"Can't be too powerful either." Uvoyuth explained, "Uvoyuth need to win."
"Morahpith will win!" a white-bronze hatchling vowed, having approached the duo stealthily.
Uvoyuth looked the female dragon hybrid over and decided that this was acceptable. But if they were to have fun playing games, Xilla would have to agree to travel together as well. The Lich looked a bit uncertain to take on the commitment.
"I'm not a really good cook since I can't taste." she started, "And I pretty much prefer to stay underground and hidden. But if that's okay."
"That works." Morahpith nodded.
She too did not know whether this agreement would continue on indefinitely. But for now they seemed like a fun duo to live with, more so than remaining at the Weyr to train and maybe get tethered to a domain or hold. Smirking a bit, the dragoness added:
"Prepare to face utter defeat at my hooves!"
"No way!" Uvoyuth shrieked and the two were off chasing each other.
Xilla went after them,  realising that they were teleported once more on Uvoyuth's whim to yet another place - and maybe even time? - where it was cool and dark and quiet. Crypts and caves were around them, forming a labyrinth of places to play in while also offering shelter and comfort to rest.
"How does she do that?" Xilla wondered briefly, before once more hurrying after her two playful companions.
