Zelk's spell guides her to a lone, lost gemstone: a small, polished Black Opal flecked with tiny speckles of rainbow colors. It's half-hidden in the dirt, beneath some plants. This stone once belonged to a Pupil (+2)-level alien creature.

This being was smallish in size, perhaps the size of a large dog. Overall, it appeared reptilian--low and squat, with four short-clawed legs that propelled it from its sides, rather than quite beneath it, like a turtle's. Its tail, too, was thick at the base, thin at the tip and medium-length, like a turtle's. Its face was more lizard-like, though blunt and smooth--something like a skink's. The eyes were round and slightly rodent-like in the way they protruded a little, and two horns twisted back from the skull. The strangest thing about this being was, perhaps, its skin: covered in bright magenta feathers from head to tail.

The second gemstone that Zelk would stumble across in the thick foliage of Eridanus, after some searching, would happen to be a Pupil (+2)-magic-level Pearl of polished, pale pink. This once belonged to a rather strange creature about the size of a deer, a couple hundred pounds at the most. It looked rather like a waterfowl--a goose, perhaps, or a duck--but without feathers. Its skin instead was almost reptilian, though smooth, without visible scales or scutes. This creature was a drab, dull blue from head to toe. Rather than a single wing-bone as many birds might have, this one sported more bat-like wings, with several "fingers" structuring the wings. The eyes were more reptilian, as well, and the creature bore fin-like frills around its neck.

The third gemstone was a shining, polished, translucent Amber--a deep and rich golden-yellow in hue, with tiny bubbles trapped within. This once belonged to a Pupil (+2)-level Gaur cow.
