Primordia, Grieving Plains
Nicole can be seen approaching the site of the faint wail and glimmering beacon.
"The hell's going on here?"
Upon noticing that it was a dying creature, she rushes over to its side before looking to Cinke.
"Ah, shit... Hey, Cinke, you got anything that can heal it, cuz that'd be really useful right about now!"
The creature just lies there, still wailing quietly. Closer inspection might lead particularly sharp eyes to notice that two of its limbs are broken in some way, bent in an unnatural direction. The others are not broken, but they also seem to be in a bad condition...
When Nicole and Cinke get close enough to it, its head turns to face them, and, with a painful slowness, it shakily begins to try and stand, but, with its limbs badly injured, it collapses again to the ground, making a pained noise as it falls.

To Nicole, it gently nuzzles her, and the half-dragon might feel strangely warm and comfortable, as if the creature is trying to reassure her, though it is clearly in pain to some degree, and from its slowly fading light, it's still dying.
But, Nicole might gently feel something rather like a necklace as it nuzzles against her... then it pulling back a little on her hand, as if trying to get Nicole to pry the object off it.

Upon being nuzzled by the creature, Nicole blinks and looks at it.
"Hey, don't worry, my friend here's a genius. She oughta have you patched up soon, one way or another..."
Upon seeing the necklace, she removes it and takes a moment to study the trinket before glancing at Mata Nui.
"If you've got any healing powers, dude, this creature here could sure as hell use them right about now."
Mata Nui kneels at the creature's side. "I cannot heal its body. However, I can try to preserve its life in a different form."
He activates the Kanohi Ignika in an attempt to turn the creature into a healthy maple sapling.
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."Nicole would find that the necklace is one made entirely of pearls, and does not look unusual... if it weren't for the fact that there is a central pearl, much larger than the others, and that it shimmers with a bewildering kaleidoscope of hues. It feels heavy to the touch...
The creature seems to sigh with relief when Nicole finally obtains the necklace, but it seems to want to do something else.
Mata Nui, despite his powers, might suddenly feel a strange, repelling jolt, and the creature hisses in pain as this happens, its glow fading even faster than before, and it seems to have sensed a new urgency, too, as it turns its head to Cinke, as if beckoning her to come closer to the creature.
It seems to be refusing any and all attempts to heal it. Why, though, is the question.

Creator of the Avatar Arena and its Discord server.Nicole begins stroking the creature in an attempt to calm it after Mata Nui's attempt to preserve its life failed.
"Easy, easy... We're just trying to help you out. Why are you... rejecting our attempts to save your life?"
As she does this, the Arcane half-dragon takes a moment to study the pearl necklace and its unique central pearl.
The creature, despite its waning strength, soon pulls away from Nicole entirely, appearing to offer itself to the others except the half-dragon, its glow having faded enough to reveal white fur. It seems to be trying to get someone to hold it before it finally passes on...
The necklace doesn't seem to carry anything else unnatural besides its strange central pearl. Perhaps it will need to be studied further.
Creator of the Avatar Arena and its Discord server.The creature's glow fades in an instant the moment Mata Nui and Cinke touch it, revealing a brilliant creature with fur as white and pure as snow, its wings terribly broken due to some kind of outside source. It seems to have been attacked, really.
Creator of the Avatar Arena and its Discord server.Mata Nui looks down at the creature, unmoving and continuing to cradle its body. "I wish we could know more about what happened here."
Suddenly, he staggers back and grunts, clutching his forehead as the Mask of Life starts emitting erratically-paced flashes of yellow light, almost like a distress signal.

"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.""You and me both, dude..." Nicole says to Mata Nui. "If you wanna give it a burial or whatever kinda funeral you had in mind, be my guest. Hopefully, we'll learn more about this whole friggin' scenario sooner than later."
She takes a quick look around, in case whoever or whatever might have killed the creature was still nearby, then takes another moment to study the pearl necklace before raising an eyebrow at Cinke.
"Are... you alright, Cinke? You don't usually freak out so easily."
Then she looks at Mata Nui as the Mask of Life seems to go haywire.
"...Something the matter?"

What is on the location can only be described as a glowing figure, its outline giving the impression of a creature with six limbs, but its glow is gradually fading away, while it lies on the ground, unmoving, yet crying out a soft, weakening noise.
The peculiar creature seems to be... dying, really.
