Watching the meteor shower from Torchline, Arialla had seen something that she didn't think was normal, though she didn't know yet what a starwhale was. At first, she'd reacted by shrugging and thinking about how the gods moved in mysterious ways that she would never know -- until she remembered that a god had given her a way to know more. Then she rushed to the cliff's edge and flung herself off as an eagle, soaring towards the meteor shower on oceanic updrafts.
By the time she arrived on the scene, most of the debris had already fallen to the water, giving her a clear path through the skies -- and a clear view of the wounded creature. Arialla's beak parted in wonder. Oh, beautiful; oh, tragic. It clearly wasn't supposed to be here, and though she'd never seen a ghost whale before, Arialla could read hunt in the movements of the other three beasts she watched from above.
There were other people around, though, at least two boats that Arialla had spotted so far. Could they do something to save the starwhale? Should they? For now Arialla simply hung in the air above the whales, trying to get a better look. Was the starwhale injured, dying, a lost cause, or could it still be helped?
------------
Arialla is in golden eagle form, evaluating the situation with her eagle eyes, with a particular focus on the condition of the starwhale.
She brings nothing particularly useful, since she's shifted, but she has her eagle and bottlenosed dolphin shifts.
