The welcoming greetings out of the way, The two ecclipsa find themselves being guided along a clearly planned route to present them to, and present to them buildings, peoples, organizations, parties, and the like. An eventful week ensues as the city is lively, and now celebrating the arrival of 2 more ecclipsa luminari. The other ecclipsa seem to have dispersed out to further off places or simply disappeared to Auraelish's view. Eliysiah's knowledge answers some of the questions but not all, she still wondered if the stealth skills she has "rumors" of are true. There was always thoughts and ideas floating about the sea of things that seemed impossible, many of which turned out to be confirmed truth at some point. Either way she allowed herself to relax and not worry about much outside of her duties, such as they are.
Auraelish in the meantime found himself enthralled by the many species, groups, and things new to his knowledge. In particular he found himself fond of the females of each, and fascinated by the differences amongst them. He also found himself being becoming very cautious and protective of the little ones of whom many had climbed into his limbs like he was a part of the furniture. Little shalty in particular was never far away from her new cuddly friend. as time goes on Auraelish begins to recognize some patterns among the peoples and creatures here, things that even they do not know about themselves. And so as Auraelish begins growing a new limb he finds he has acquired some new ability.
Some how Auraelish had found himself able to sense power in each of the living beings he had intimate interactions with. Fascinated by this discovery Eliysiah encourages him to explore this new ability, she believes he may be onto a path of life/death magic, mortality magics as they where often called could be powerful and focused or gentle but vast in area of affect. The risk vs reward ratio was very much in favor of Auraelish being kind and good for any living thing that is kind in turn. So she watched him and the others at a distance but with intense focus.
Auraelish felt the intense focus of his guardian escort as he continued to explore this field of power apart and surrounding everything. Soon he finds he can instantly give a boost of energy to anyone who touches him, the affects of which depending on his will it seems. {Must analyze that closer} Continuing to embrace and greet various beings, he learns he can calm them or make them feel more lively for some reason. eventually he asks to assist someone with a fussy child of a lizard like species. The parent or guardian of the child is grateful and confident the eclipsa would not harm the child. Wondering why such confidence existed here, he asked the child it's name and got a snarling response of "Snelrok!", "a fine name child, it sounds strong and calm".
Focusing on the little ones behavior and any reasons why Auraelish finds he was overly anxious for a discomfort in his scale covered tail. Focusing 'calming' energies, he continues talking with little Snelrok for a few moments, and soon the child is fast asleep in his twined limbs, the new 7th pressing gently into the disquieting tail of Snelrok's. Soon the [induce sleep] skill combined with his examining of the tail and other living things gives Auraelish the knowledge to recognize the reason for little Snelrok's discomfort. "there is a growth of something foreign to his body lodged in his tail, If it is removed he should heal up and not be so ...troubled."
Stunned looks respond to this incredible statement, but just then a Surgeon Doctor of the Shore nymphs is passing through and hears this exchange. He offers to treat this child in exchange for assistance from Auraelish with some other challenges he had encountered in his work. "of course Doctor my skill is yours if you can help this child", meanwhile Snelrok's guardian who is apparently some sort of teacher or something not sure yet. not important right now
So moments later Auraelish was laying little Snelrok onto an exam table that Doctor Grizaldo had formed out of earth magic and made a mirror sheen... impressive that. but not important now either. The child is asleep and seemingly at peace, but this issue with his tail has now gotten the full attention of no less the a dozen beings around him, all wishing him well, some simply stunned into silence. Fascinated by ths entire scene the Doctor has to shake himself a moment to focus on the task at hand. Flapping his sleek yet powerfully muscled wings Doctor Grizaldo begins to emit a glowing field of some sort.

The Doctor and Auraelish both focus on the Snelrok, keeping him asleep, and analyzing the "foreign growth". "it may have been another of the orphans that tussled with him some weeks ago, The felenids have some abilities that they aren't always aware of at this age" offers the guardian teacher, {orphans, what caused that situation?}. "felenids, yes That explains this mark here hiding under his scales, you see?" The doctor gestures to Auraelish with a wing to save time, and keep focus. "indeed Doctor, incredible that you could see this, fang marks Doctor?", Yes is the response using a wing flap, as he begins focusing a blade into the area. Some females around the scene gasp at the sight and cover mouths and eyes or behave in other similarly strange ways to The ecclipsa's view.
Opening a wound around the fang marks, soon the foreign matter inside Snelrok's tail is clearly identified, separated expertly, isolated with barrier magic from both of the impromptu surgeons, and subsequently removed. Blood pools grow around the wounded tail as the work continues in utter silence. Other then simple words and gestures between Auraelish and Doctor Grizaldo, the work continues with eery silence for some time more. "the tail will need help to heal this wound, My magics would take too long on it's own friend." The Doctor nods in the direction of the other lizard like being who is observing with a concerned look on his face now. " yes of course, take from my tail if it will help, take my blood...whatever you need. I just ask that save the child and not kill me also, the orphanage is understaffed as it is, this is not the only child under my care unfortunately."
"say less big guy, a small bit of blood and flesh will suffice, you might not even get a scar." nodding with a smile the Doctor causes whispering and a bit of a cheer amongst the growing audience to this incredible sight in the middle of a stone paved city street. A moment later a warrior offers his skill and slices out a small bit of flesh from the orphan guardian with no sound made by either. {impressive skill that}. Auraelish instantly plugs the wound of the lizardmans tail with a limb and generates a powerful energy in it. A sizzling sound emits as the wound closes and Auraelish removes his limb, causing a small growl and gasp in the doing.
" now that was impressive to see, all three of you, honestly", Thanks go around. "now Snelrok here might do for similar attention along with this sliced flesh here", "agreed Doctor". "unbelievable" mutters an onlooker, a human no less. The surgery continues in silence as flesh is inserted carefully into an open wound and bathed in energy of a complex form. Some time later the little lizard-boys tail is healed up, with only a tiny scar hidden under scales. Similarly orphan guardian Tretkstoth is examining his tail in dumbfound appreciation. "shall we wake him or let him rest the night, Doctor?", " I expect he will be tired for a day or two after this, but fine otherwise. That was an amazing experience brother Auraelish."Brother?"
"Indeed we Doctors call one another brother or sister often times, and I believe you have more then earned the title of brother healer today Auraelish." Loud cheers cry out celebrating this new development, as Doctor Grizaldo tucks his wings and crosses his chest and forehead in a salute of his profession. "HEALTH IN BODY AND SOUL!" An ancient healers chant rises from the Doctor and his onlooking followers. " health in body and soul" copies Auraelish as he mirrors the shape of the doctors salute with his 7 limbs. Just then Auraelish collapses from exhaustion, he'd used a lot of energy today.
As the sun sets, the ecclipsa are prepared a sheltering tent with small magic stones warming its corners around the exam table now clean and covered with a giant pillow. apparently these things are stored in ever building in the city for just such a purpose. The two enjoy a well deserved rest in peace until some time after sunrise.
