Koa
There's going to come a day when you feel better
You'll rise up free and easy on that day
The snap of a broken branch manifests quickly into a familiar figure; Koa smile in recognition, then balks in confusion, eyebrows knitting and voice lilting as a dramatic series of emotions playing through his expression and tone. "Miss A-aaaaalys?" Were there supposed to be two of her, or is this some weird forest-void-whatever trick?You'll rise up free and easy on that day
Thoroughly bewildered and lost, Koa takes a step back. Unfortunately this brings him dangerously close to the edge of a pool; panicking as his heel sinks into the water, Koa scrambles forward, away from the abyss. At the same time Pip hears Boreal's greeting, her own piercing squawk of excitement upsetting birds from the canopy above. Newly startled, Koa has to windmill his arms to keep from falling, which certainly makes a comical image for Tal to observe from above.
And then from behind them, a slorping noise freezes Koa where he stands, one foot raised and copper eyes wide in confusion and alarm. "What was that?" he half-croaks, half-whispers, staring beseechingly Alys' way. From the surface of the water, the Seer - and the Messenger, should he still be watching - will be able to see violet tentacles creeping outward, heralding the presence of a Void river star.
Void River Stars (uncommon): The carnivorous River Stars, tainted by void energy, have become even more sinister. Their once vibrant appearance has faded into shades of deep black and purple. Now, instead of waiting for prey to step onto their centers, they actively seek out creatures, using void-infused tendrils to ensnare and drain the life force from their victims.
And float from branch to branch, lighter than the air
Just when that day is coming, who can say?
