The Inventory of Semi Precious Creatures

The Inventory of Semi-Precious Creatures

Nan Mikanaro - also known as the Gemkeeper - is a sorceress living in the wildforest mountains of the Megha. She is also the keeper of semi-precious gems inside which dangerous creatures reside. When these creatures begin breaking through portals and wreaking havoc on the Island of Doors, Polkadot and Thug have a duty to return them to their gemstones. But trying to capture a Prehnite Siren or an Obsidian Owl is easier said than done.

Characters

1. Nan Mikanaro (The Gemkeeper) - an old fae sorceress with a large hat, flute, and staff. Her person is covered with pockets full of gem stones. She has an impatient personality and a bad memory.

They heard the music before they saw her - clear, trilling notes on a flute echoing across the rolling hills. There in the mist was a short and stubby figure, with what looked like a long horn sticking out of her head.

2. The Howlite Pegasus - a beautiful white pegasus who resides in the Howlite stone. His powers include promoting peace and wisdom to the one who bears his stone.

“Semi-precious creatures like myself are agents of chaos and power. Each of us represent a different force, and affect the world in different ways. One of my specialities is wisdom. And, being wise, I know the world is better off while I am safely kept away in my gemstone.”
