Welcome to Gaia! ::

Abbie was not the best at making friends. It had known for a long time that it's sniffling, poisonous, wall-sticking self was generally regarded as unpleasant to be around, especially in it's natural form where it was more closely resembled a tapeworm with wings than any other wyvern it knew. It wasn't particularly upset over this knowledge though. That was just how things were.

It might not have put a dent in the young wyvern's spirits, it was certainly independent in an innocent and curious manner, but it meant many aspects of the wider world had to be discovered through firsthand experience.

That day in the woods, it might have saved the young one a lot of trouble if it had a friend to tell it about those mysterious, dangerous portals beforehand. Instead, it became rather bewildered at the sight of it. Or at least, sight as the heat-sensitive wyvern could perceive it. The object almost resembled water, the 'reflection' of it's surface bizarrely flat and fluid, and even more remarkable, completely vertical.

Abbie's curiosity pulled it closer to the odd phenomenon. It reached out a hand, buried in long sleeves, to poke at the portal and test it's solidity, but like water it slid through. Pulling it's hand out, the wyvern examined the sleeve, visibly surprised to note it wasn't even wet. How strange...

Abbie made a squeaking noise, it's pale eyes going wide with surprise. Not quite fright though, when the wyvern looked up at Hel there was only that kindling curiosity.

"Oh..." It made a wheezy sound, as though trying to breathe through extremely stuffy sinuses, and readjusted it's coat. "So that's what it is, a portal? Wow." It glanced back towards the newly named phenomenon, resisting the urge to poke it once again. "Where does it go?"

There was more snuffling as it leaned back towards the portal, and although it wasn't going to overstep the bounds that had suddenly been set, it did want to get a good look at it! Hopefully that would be okay with the ghoul, who was... a student? What else could she have been, seeing as Abbie had not yet actually left the grounds?
