Biography

E P H R Y X Curator of the Fungarium Ouzel found himself stepping tentatively on the loose pebbles of the cave floor, every click of his claws would send echoes scattering down and out of the depths. The breath of earth was just as she said it would be, heavy and almost living... He curled his tail around himself, he felt the dark drawing over him like a silent crowd. Perhaps he should turn back? The tunnels under the lair felt like they were infinite, knotting and writhing. His map scroll was getting harder to discern in the dim light, his lantern only providing a small glow around himself. "Ouzel...?" From the blackness a faint voice came, multiplied by echoes. He instinctively froze before urging himself to reply, he often spent days without talking and had to remind himself how to form her name. "Eph-epp-...Ephryx!" He spoke, the echoes mocking him. He almost dropped the lantern in fright. "Ouzel! Come down, it's not much further!" Ephryx sounded thrilled, as if it wasn't a leap of faith to wander into the blackness. He took a deep breath and began walk down, the path becoming smoother and sloping as he went. The air became warmer and he could here the twinkle of dripping water. The dug tunnels now became natural caverns, he saw the shiny glint of quartz and limestone where the light of his lantern fell. Soon the tunnel was lit with the soft blue glow of luminescent fungi. The path opened into a chamber and there lit up at the end of it was Ephryx. She stood over a sprawling patch of fungus, they had amber caps and were growing up her ankles. She beckoned him over and Ouzel had to pick carefully through a garden of fungal specimens. He kept his tail high and examined the ground with each placement of his claws. 
 
"Well done, I know it was not easy to get here, let alone leave your greenhouse." She gave him a warm smile as he arrived at her side. He nodded and sat neatly so as not to disturb any fruiting bodies, there wasn't much space between the plots of fungus. He sat shoulder to shoulder with her and drew his hood up further about himself. They sat for a while in silence as they listened and watched beauty of the fungarium. Some specimens were grown for study and experiments, others for magical components, but largely it was a pantry for the clan. Ouzel was most interested in the rarest specimens, he eyed a Blue Entoloma springing from a piece of mouldering log that had been brought down to her lair. "Cute, aren't they?" She smiled, flicking the small springy caps, "You know, it would take three tonnes of powdered entoloma to kill an imperial!" "How did you calculate that?" He said, peering down at the dewy blue fungi. "I measured the compounds against the neuroactive matter within Imperial anatomy..." Soon Ephryx was explaining her methodologies as Ouzel stared into the gills of the Entoloma, entranced by its hues as well as Ephryx's soothing lecture. 
"Sorry." Ephryx said abruptly, "I'm boring you." "No." He said, "I was enjoying that. I'll tell you if you're boring me." "Oh, good! The last time I told someone about this they looked at me funny, but, I think its not only important but interesting as well!" "It is." He stated, not looking away from the fungi, Ephryx was kind enough not to mind his habit of speaking flatly, or staring away when she was talking. And Ouzel didn't mind that she knew enough about fungi to easily poison his tea and kill him in his sleep. He didn't mind her fidgeting or playing with her pearl as she spoke, either. It made her interesting. "Ouzel, have I ever told you about my paper on the taxonomy of the Fungalhoof Qiriq's symbiotic colonies? I realised that it might have some pertinence to your collection!" She clasped her claws together in excitement. "No, please tell me more." He said, laying down to get a better view of his chosen specimen, "And don't stop this time."
