Asimona was stalking along the shore of the water, her eyes following the crystalline water flowing, watching for signs of fish that would swim by. She wasn't particularly hungry, but she wouldn't say no to a snack. However, there was no flash of silver or movement underneath the flowing water and she lowered her head, disappointed.

She then saw a flash of red and her heart leaped in her chest. Was it him? Had he come back to torment her again? But she realized that it wasn't scales and it was steady getting larger. A closer look at the water and she realized that it was some cloud rising from the side of the river.

She sniffed and fear clenched at her stomach. That was blood!

Without hesitation, she leaped into the water, holding her wings close to her side. She paddled weakly, but strong enough to get her to the chrysalis in the water. She leaned forward and snatched it in her jaws before pulling herself out of the water.

Without hesitation, she struck at it with her claws to try and break it open, but the jagged edge stabbed into her hand and she flinched back, drops of blood falling from her paw.

She leaned down and nosed the little creature sticking out. "I'm sorry, I tried to get you out, but you have to do it. You can do it, I believe in you!" She didn't know why she was saying this, the words were just spilling out. She needed to help this little creature. To hell with all the walls and masks, this gembound needed her!

Asimona breathed a sigh of relief when the little white thing tumbled out. She immediately bent down and began to lick the blood from her side, cleaning out bits of the shell from the wound. It would be best to clean the wound before it got infected. Once she was down, she spat out the crystals that had been caught in her mouth and bent down to sniff the little creature to make sure it wasn't hurt anywhere else.

Now that she was calming down, she felt her magic begin to flow in her again and the cold aura manifested around her. However, it suddenly soaked into her skin and she shivered as cold crept into her body. Maybe it was because she was all wet?

She stepped back from the small thing to give it some room to breath. She sat down on the ground to put herself a little more on its level. She might be young, but she still found herself considerably larger than lots of fully grown creatures, especially those her age. "Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere else?"

Asimona smiled with relief. The little creature was okay.
She raised her claw, looking carefully at the wound. She ran her tongue a few times over the cut to clean it out before giving it a flex. It hurt, but it wasn't too bad. It would heal pretty quickly. "Yeah, I'm okay. Heck of a hatching, huh?"

She chuckled as she lowered her claw back to the ground were she rested it gingerly. There was a small throb, but otherwise it was okay. "My name is Asimona," she said to the seal. "Do you have a name?"
