Coming along, steady and strong. Aurelia seems to have teamed up with Ngara now, a newly created character - a blue-eyed black lemur. The reason these lemurs have blue eyes, yet are not part of the royal line, stems from a time in generations past when one of the black lemurs saved the life of the current queen at the time. They were given the gift of the royal blue eyes to forever show their loyalty and dedication to the crown. So it seems rather appropriate that her new friend is such a lemur.
Meanwhile, they're wandering through the Tsiny in the pouring rain. Not much fun at all. Drenched, not quite sure where they are or where they're going - they're about to have an alien encounter:
A moment later Aurelia saw a flowing white shape, far off in the distance, flitting through the trees.
“What's that?” She wondered. “It looks... almost like a lemur.”
“But so white,” Ngara remarked. “Whiter even than you. Or at least, than you are now that you're covered in rain and dirt and goodness knows what else.”
“Could it be a lemures?” Aurelia wondered. “Come to lead us to safety?”
“We can hope,” came the response. “Not all lemures are benign. Some are malicious or seek company, by luring the living doom.”
Aurelia frowned at her. “Are you trying to scare me?”
Ngara shrugged. “Maybe,” she said. “A little. Why, were you scared?”
“Maybe,” Aurelia replied. “A little.”
A bioluminscent lemur? I think not. Or maybe it is? Time to spend hours researching how creatures make themselves bioluminescent. Have to figure out how to spell it first!
Flag that, let's go watch Farscape and draw anthro bees.
