On the subject of shocking entrances: how about the massive meeting of really weird things on the shore? You land, hesitant, at the back, ears flickering, eyes darting, trying to take in the improbable mix of colors, sharp angles, and sheer, massive size. Something huge and bony lurks above all of you, yet no one seems afraid of its shadow, and something huge and glowing and full of teeth lays halfway up the shore.
Something tells you they don't gather regularly for tea parties, and that at any other time, at least half of you would be dead already, and the other half about to be the same. There's too many teeth, too much muscle.
It's that elephant again, holding you all in thrall, even the predators. She speaks, and you listen, and something gives you the feeling that all the gathered creatures—probably the non-equine natives of this land—have already agreed to that which she asks. Why else would they be there? Why else would she address your kin the way she does?
Taivas is quick to pledge her aid, followed by a chorus as more slip out of the woodwork. You don't add your voice to theirs, but you nod, firmly.
