The two birds are named Sil'ilos Elggur ("Purple Killer") and Larnde Elggur ("Lavender Killer")
It was early January. The Vast Hunger flooded the realm and while the lions were mostly fine, Athiyk Gheut, soulmate of Xukuthe'l Dyne, fell ill at a mere 8yrs of age. His life was clearly at stake, as the middle-aged lion couldnt keep down basic food and water, and Dyne was distraught. This wasn't supposed to happen, his mate had signed a contract with Cha'kohk Mortath granting him imortality, and yet here he was, withering away like a sickly elder. Furious, Dyne called for the Yathrin, Vhaid Drathir-Talya, and demanded her to arrange a meeting with the Spirit of the Binding Contract. Vhaid obliged, knowing full well that Dyne was in no mood for bickering, and also knowing Cha'kohk would want to know about the potential loss of one of her contracts.
The two lions made their way through the territory to the summoning ring, a large circle of stones with a stone basin at the front and a hollowed log at the back. The Yathrin placed herbs and a piece of chain into the basin while humming, and, using her gifted magics, blew a breath of fire onto the items, setting them ablaze. A thick fog poured out of the hollow log, and a lioness covered in fire emerged.
"Why do you summon me," the lioness growled, staring the king down with her fiery blue gaze.
"Athiyk Gheut is dying. We've come to ask your assistance."
The lioness laid down, grooming her paw daintily. "Athiyk Gheut, you say? Well he does have an End of Life contract with me, I suppose this counts. I will help him."
She got to her feet and vanished back through the log. The items in the basin ceased burning, and the fog lifted rapidly. Vhaid grabbed the chain, and the two lions left to head back to the main territory.
--
You greet *Qu'ess* Athiyk Gheut with a head bump. He smiles a little, as if grateful for the attention, before returning to his usual dark corner.
