LB:RR (Re-Write): The Great Ancient Takuna, Embodiment of Time and Light

Quite a long title, if I do say so myself. Unless it's a flowery priest, people normally only call him '[The] Great Takuna' or just 'Takuna'.
You know him, right? C'mon, he's got his own story, and he's in nearly all of my novels!
Well, you just might not know what he looks like; I'll describe him to you, then:
Takuna resembles a very, very big white dog or wolf, with the wings and forelegs of an eagle (you know what I mean), and the horns and eyes of a dragon.
Takuna's eyes, horns, wings and talons are all a rich gold color, and his nose is gold, too! But did you know??? His bones are gold, thus meaning his teeth are gold, too!
Takuna has a long tuft of fur at his chin, too, resembling something like a beard. He has a very noble look to him altogether, but, um, he can be a little odd at times.
As you might later notice upon reading some of my novels (one day), Takuna admits in "LB:RR" (Lirin Bahonan: Rising Rage):
"I have an odd habit of throwing suitable clothes at unfashionable heroes before I leave them to their destiny; it is the least I can do, believe me, quite literally the least..."
Yeah, he's thrown clothes at Almanzo, too, and likely some heroes before him. While Almanzo's are a dark burgundy red, Lirin's turn out to be a deep, ultramarine blue.
Takuna, while he may be one of the 'awesome creators of the planet Crichianadiie", it is true he didn't do it alone, but alongside some other great beings as well.

Takuna is noble, kind, mighty, blah-blah-blah, but he has some odd characteristics, things he says, humor, etc., and he acts incredibly weird at times...



In "LB:RR", Takuna plays an even more vital part in the story than in "E:RD" (ELDENDOR: The Rise of Dagria).
Not only does he give Lirin some new clothes, which is pretty important, but his dwelling sits right inside the very land the novel is set in, Evagren! Takuna assists Lirin often as they bump into each other, informing him of foreseen events to give him hints as to what to do, like for an example:
"I foresee a stunning journey skyward on your own gray wings and it is filled with shocking events!"
They don't make sense at first, but in later time, they do. Takuna does a little more to help, too, especially in later books, but telling you would be spoilers... Heehee.
