Jahi was utterly enthralled. It had been several years at least since he last heard her voice, and it was still just as beautiful as the day he first heard it. In truth, his own voice a shadow of his mother’s, at least in his mind. But something was different this time around, something truly...

Jahi was awed by the structures, their stonework ancient yet still strong. The majestic figures still holding the core of their form. It was enough for the young Raaka from the Alir Reach to see the city of Bhatharik; but this, it was beautiful, serene. As he sat on Araxa and took in the fight...

Raaka, being the birdfolk that they are, are not particularly known for their olfactory senses, so when the two Elves drew near, he knew something foul was afoot. The acrid stench drifted into his nostrils as the wind shifted and the source grew closer. It smelled somewhat of the places that the...

Jahi flinched when Jaken suddenly was lifting him up. His thoughts scattered, if present at all. When he asked about the hand crossbow he could barely stammer the reply, “I-I didn’t buy it. T-too expensive...” He was still reeling, now kneeling behind the cover that his werewolf companion had...

Jahi weaved through the air to make safe his landing; and he was swift, but not swift enough. The archers were quick to notice the Raaka's descent, and several took their shots, one arrow piercing his right foot. Crying out in pain, Jahi spun through the air and landed on one of the archers...

Having been noticed and subsequently shot at, Jahi flew up into the air and spun around, stringing his bow with a taloned foot and hand. Beneath him, Jaken had taken cover, and Aless was charging their position. He took a shot, and then thought of his cowardice. If she were able to face them...

Jahi had been in the middle of a bawdy tale from from the Steppes, about a Raaka maid and an Orc Ohieftan, how she had tricked him his fortune, and how they fell madly in love after one night of passion; thus resulting in the birth of the first Strix. It was however near the end of this that...

"I...couldn't forget it this morning, so it had to be put out there. Thanks." Jahi tilted his head shyly and rubbed his shoulder with his beak. The road ahead was going to be long, and he couldn't quite pull himself to be completely silent. It just wasn't in him. No doubt it would irritate his...

"Oh very funny. The lesser birds though beautiful in voice, are as close to myself as you and other Humans are to tail-less rats. But I do not take offense, Jaken. Many are jealous of our wings, only wishing to feel the sky beneath you." One wing stretched out to its full span, then Jahi pulled...

Truth The word had mulled about in his head for a little while before Jaken had returned. Even his heart, from what little he did know, knew that he and truth did not touch base often. His life up to this point had more or less been a long series of scams or cons. At least he viewed them as...

Digesting each of their responses in turn, Jahi kept his beak silent. A trait that anyone who knew him would realize was a problem. In all his years, the juvenile Raaka spent most of his time speaking, either to himself or to whatever company he happened to have. And yet several hours of silence...

Sitting mostly in silence after Aless had unceremoniously scooped him onto her horse, Jahi contemplated all that was going on. Jaken had turned out to be a thief, and not a particularly cunning one. And of equal interest, Aless was having none of it. He sat, trying to be as unobtrusive and...

As Jaken tossed him the wonderful little device , Jahi immediately took to it. “This is marvelous! I wonder...it likely would be good against unarmored targets at a short range.” He presented his find to the shopkeep, and his face dropped as the initial price was given. “Oh...I suppose I’ll have...

"I will defer to the two of you, as far as the dark arts are concerned. I have honestly had no experiences with them yet, but I like to think myself a quick learner." Jahi glanced towards the supplier. "Perhaps I shall check the wares. Call to me when you lot are ready to depart. Us Raaka pack...

"Sounds like they'll need all the help they can get." Jahi rubbed his neck and looked back and forth between the two. "Probably will need more than the three of us." Jahi's figure was slowly beginning to slump when he noticed and adjusted his posture. His eyes brightened as he continued, "But...
