Keyandri's Eye

A short excerpt from a piece of writing I've been toying with lately. It's Still a bit rough, Keyandri as a character is not too clearly defined as of yet. He/she (it has no gender really.) is the over-seer of the Fate Stone, which is given a short reference in the excerpt. Keyandri most often takes the form of a female human or female elf, occasionally a quickling, pixie, faery or the sort. Keyandri cannot immitate any other living being, as far as becoming a clone.

Remora found the Fate Stone in the form of a Nintendo paddle in an old antique shop at a mall. (The Stone can take any form it so chooses, to change depending on where in time it lands or on different planes.)
This excerpt is about Keyandri watching over Remora and Drizzt (I don't own him. R. A. Salvatore does...) As they journey through the wilderness in some unknown place.

(Picture of Keyandri. Unknown artist, not my work. Keyandri is my own in the writing.)

Keyandri watched the two new partners from not far off, blending in with shadows as easily as if she was one herself. She could sense the call of the Fate Stone; it had called to her across many hundreds of miles. How a human from an alternate plane could wield it, she had no idea. The Fate Stone controlled one’s fate, across centuries, across the planes of existence. It could move a person before or after their birth moment to the time that they were, originally, thought to belong.

And now, the girl was where she belonged. Keyandri could sense, also, her will to return home. Hadn’t she meant to be taken away when she had taken the stone? Most of the fate Stone’s wielders were happy with where they were taken, often without understanding or knowing. This girl couldn’t begin to understand the depth of responsibility of having that stone. Errtu would want it, to reach the mortal planes. Keyandri knew she had to do something, slipping back into her infinite plane and calling out to the mist for which to scry, to keep a safe eye on the two.
