A dark shadow passing overhead, a ghostly form silhouetted against the dying light; let it never be doubted that Kier could make an entrance. She alighted gracefully atop Fluffy's head, porcelain wings outstretched for ~~dramatic effect~~.

And should this one prove to be true? What will you do then? Keel over and die? Wish you had listened sooner? Truthfully, Kier had little stake in the debacle. She had only just heard the cliff notes on the flight over — something about runes and plague and devastation — but she figured it probably wasn't a good idea to let her meal ticket be publicly shamed in front of her entire clan. What if they got cast out? Where was she supposed to hunt for rats then, huh???

It would be wise to take heed, she proudly proclaimed in the most divinely authoritative voice she could muster. I know well the kind of devastation that can be wrought by denizens of the land: forests razed, mountains leveled, rivers poisoned. Do not assume you are safe just because you have not.

Humans were infinitely destructive creatures, Fluffy had probably just seen some clearing a plot of land for a new supermarket and freaked out. Not quite as dramatic sounding but still nothing to be taken lightly.
