Wow, the strength of two giants in the size of my fist? Imagine the strength of a dragon my size.

I would recommened changing the "Dark blue midnight" to a metaphor that doesn't have a color in it. Other than that, good essence.

(This coming from someone who hasn't done an essence yet. )

Wow, Aris, lovely essence map! A cloudless pastel sky and sunlight on sapphires! I love those. Well done.

Beautiful, Aris. Knowing Chayn through my own characters, I can definitely see how these fit and learn some new things! I especially like "the arms of a veteran farmer" and "a roaring sea".

Thanks, all. It's been a while since I've done one. I'm glad Chayn's turned out well.

Suiauthon - The scales are the size of a balled up fist. Chayn herself is more or less a couple feet shorter than Sapphira in Eragon (she's not full grown yet).

Ooh, I thought of what I can change the dark blue one. I used the color words because I couldn't think up anything that was dark blue. But now I have! (I hope)
