Chicoon name: Freckle
Companion name: Frisky
How did the two meet?:

Freckle was fishing through tide pools for a tasty seaside snack when he spotted the most delectable, plump looking shromp scuttling through the shallow water. Freckle dropped low, folding his wings back in an attempt to be as small as possible. With a squeak, Freckle leapt into the air, claws extended and blunt fangs bared. Unfortunately for the chicoon, the shromp was faster (and smarter) than him, and Freckle fell into the pool with a splash.

Now absolutely drenched and somewhat disoriented from bonking his head on a rock, Freckle tried to find where the bright pink crustacean had gone. He spotted a couple of long stringy whiskers poking out from behind a shell, and he narrowed his eyes. Freckle pounced again, landing on an unsuspecting spiky urchin with long black spines. A few of the spines poked right into Freckle's nose and snapped off, much like the quills of a porcupine.

Freckle jumped backwards onto the sand, pawing wildly at his nose. After a moment, Freckle felt a light tap on his wing. He peeked through his paws and was met with a pair of large black eyes. Freckle huffed and glared at the little creature, who gestured at the spines in his nose with his little pink leg. Freckle crossed his eyes to try and get a better look at the spikes sticking out of his nose. The little shromp scurried up the chicoon's neck and took ahold of the largest of the spikes. He squeaked as if to count "one, two, three!" before yanking the spine out.

He removed the rest of the spines and proudly patted Freckle on the nose. Freckle looked at the shromp and gave him a bright smile before grabbing the little guy off his nose. The shromp panicked for a second before realizing the chicoon was wrapping him into a big hug. Upon releasing the shromp, Freckle gestured for the shromp to watch as he wrote his name into the sand. The little shromp scuttled over and wrote his own name right next to it: "Frisky."

Since that day, the two have been inseparable, spending their days collecting shells, swimming in tide pools, and sharing delicious grilled fish!

Chicoon name: Deliah
Companion name: Flipp (nickname for Philip, given to him by Deliah because he sometimes jumps and uses his strong tail to do backflips. When he's very excited they can become quite intense)
How did the two meet?:
Deliah had only traveled for about a week when the storm rolled in. She had set out, determined to become an adventurer, despite the perils of such a lifestyle. When the rain had begun to fall so heavily that the dense vegetation along the forest trail could no longer shelter her she had scrambled into hiding under some rocks. There was a small cavernous space, just barely big enough for her to fit, but she managed to squeeze through and find a relatively comfortable spot to wait out the worst of it.
When she emerged again the forest was devastated and broken, uprooted trees strewn everywhere. This was not all though. She knew at once that something had changed. There was an omnious energy like an electrical humming vibrating in the air and a lingering smell of ozone and salt.
She carefully made her way over the torn trees when there was a russtle among the foliage and broken brances of a large fallen oak. She stopped to listen, fur prickling. There was something moving in there. It seemed to be rather small and after a short while her fear gave away and was replaced by curiosity. Carefully parting the leaves she saw a small creature that was violently thrasing, trying to free itself from under a large branch that had it firmly pressed against the trunk of the tree. Black beady eyes were gazing at her, filled with desperation and fear. It reminded her of the small creatures of the sea that she and her brothers had playfully chased after in the shallows when they were younger, except this was much larger, almost the size of her head, and had tuffted pink fur instead of armoured plates all along its belly. They stared at each other for a moment. "Please don't eat me!" it said, looking pleadingly at her. "Please!"

She helps the creature and learns that it calls itself Philip. They become friends and it decides to accompany her on her journey to adventure. Soon they learn that Philip had been profoundly changed by the storm and carried far away from his home. But Flipp is not the only thing that has been changed by exposure to the tempest. Soon they must set out to try to understand what caused it and to restore calm to the once so peaceful lands. Flipp wants to find his home and Deliah agrees to help him. As they travel together they grow close and form a tight bond of friendship. In order to restore the world to its former order they need to break that magic that the storm brought. But what will happen to Flipps transformation if they proceed to do that? Will he be forced to go back to the sea and lose their friendship forever?

I really like this one, congratulations!
