*Hidden Nature* A Shapeshifting RP

[NickyKnack]

Islanzadi had no idea what twirling was, but decided that now wasn't really a time to be asking questions.
"Well, maybe you shouldn't have...Twirled to me, but that doesn't mean you have to kill yourself. Don't take your own life, just because you did something that didn't hurt anybody." Islanzadi told him quickly, trying to think of anything else to say to him that could convince him to not kill himself. She wasn't really used to being in this position all that much.

"Princess Xatia ordered you to stay with me and my people. And I do not think that means kill yourself because you made a simple mistake."

Cicero shook his head and sighed softly. "It's not harmless." He stood to his full height and looked as she took his dagger away from him. He did nothing to stop her. He just asked, "How can I keep you safe now, when I can't even protect you from myself?" He growled in frustration. Why did this have to happen? Why now? He thought frantically to himself. But then something else occurred to him, had Xatia known this would happen?

She was right. He was being foolish and over thinking things. Slygotha was always there to settle him from his own troubled mind. " They haven't thus far. You are right as always. The hatching has put me in a defense mindset. I'm being irrational." Reaper replied lovingly as he looked to the newest arrivals.

" It was not very long ago that I was asking about creating an underwater entrance for the same reason, love," Slygotha said. "Being prepared is always a good thing. You do well to think of the well being of your family and our hoard. It wouldn't just be us they would be after, you know. Even through the ages, I'm sure that even modern peoples have heard tell of our legendary hoards." Here Slygotha laughed," nobody has heard of a charitable black dragon!"
She looked at the vast hoard, the work of 1500 years, then to her family. In that moment, they were equal in her eyes.( That's a lotta love right there! Hahaha!)
The fifth wyrmling came careening out of the egg feet first, erupting violently in as much as number four was quiet. It almost slithered from its egg, glancing at its parents, and at the fourth wyrmling as it stood there, shyly watching with intense trepidation from one dragon to another. The fifth wyrmling wasn't shy. It shakily stood up and wailed noisily, looking for comfort. And possibly food.
" What shall we call these two, my mate?"

But then something else occurred to him, had Xatia known this would happen?

"I don't know, but I know that running away and killing yourself won't help anything." Islanzadi said and sighed. "And you didn't even hurt me anyway. I'm fine, physically."
Islanzadi had no idea if he almost hurt her when he made that noise or something, but given the fact that she hadn't actually been hurt by him she didn't see anything wrong with what he did. Well, what he did before he tried to end his own life.

Shane glanced to her, glad she was relaxing and seemingly enjoying the food as they ate. When they were done, Ian took the dishes to start washing them up.
~~~
Star came to take his hand as they sang to the waterfall, shutting her eyes and stopping when the light intensified too much. She could tell something was off before she blinked and looked around, finding herself in a very different place than they had been in. "What happened?"

~~~

"No, it's not an act' Sorcha said then flushed a little and looked at her hands. She probably shouldn't have said that about him, but she felt like she knew him so well just from seeing his memories 

Bardou talked with Jackdaw, raising a curious eyebrow at Sorcha's flush. "I don't remember her doing that before we left." He said privately 
~~~
"We have to physically touch it, then it will harm us" Kellan replied, taking a step back from them anyway. He did not want to get iron sick here and now.

Ember chuckled and knelt to let Bob go at Angela's nod. "Go on and play in the bedroom or the dining room while we talk" She said gently.

Angela flew over to land on the floor and looked to Bob then walked closer, head bobbing like any dove's would "I am Angela" She said, introducing herself to Bob.

Rana reached her hand over to shake with Zypher. "I've seen you around before on my flights." She said with a smile then set the bag down "We got a bunch of iron stuff from Ember's home to use in this battle." 

Lexi glanced to Ian as he washed the dishes. She found the process fascinating. But stole glances to Shane curiously.
~~~
"That, I'm still trying to figure out. If I had to guess, we were brought through a portal. But to where I do not know. I have never seen this place before. See if you mirror moonstone will work to bring us back. " Falkirk said calmly. He wasn't going to panic yet.
~~~
Maxton nodded accepting her word for it. "It must be true, for you're beyond reproach, Sorcha." Maxton stated simply.

Jackdaw smiled softly and answered Bardou privately. "No that is entirely new. Well since I've been back in the castle. I think perhaps she has caught the eye of the king. But up until just now, he may have caught hers as well. He was being very territorial where she was she was concerned. An old alpha notices these things."
~~~
Bob hurried over to Angela. He watched her a moment as he observed her walk. "Hi Angela, I'm Bob! Ummm, why are you walking like that?" He asked curiously.

Zypher looked to Ember with appreciation in his eyes. "Thank you for this. This may be our one way to accomplish the impossible." He said with conviction.

Navar noticed Kallen's reaction to the iron and decided to move it to the study for safe keeping.

" What shall we call these two, my mate?"

Reaper chuckled deeply and nodded. "Touche, my beloved mate. I'm afraid I will have to ponder this name dilemma, for I'm fresh out. But since their genders are still yet undetermined, we must first unravel that mystery." He replied as he looked to the two. Reaper stretched out his neck to bite off a large chunk of whale and placed it gently in front of the wailing wyrmling. He then looked to the other, who was in no hurry to enter the world.
(What should their genders be? )

 

[Flock Master64]

( girl! and boy! )

Cicero tipped his head in silent intrigue. "Perhaps you are immune to the effects. Maybe it doesn't transcend your species." He replied softly. Maybe this would be alright. But then he'd see Zypher and Anna. They were different species and it had affected him somewhat. "I'm sorry for upsetting you, Islanzadi. It is just a culture thing. But I promise I won't end my life. " He said with respect. But he shook his head in conflict.

(What should their genders be? )

( girl! and boy! )

( Alright! Shy one girl, outgoing one boy? That would make three girls and two boys!)
Slygotha chuckled as she swept the shy wyrmling up from its post behind its egg. She looked it over, revealing a female, then tucked her in next to Razeth and Gugol.
The outgoing, hungry little one was eagerly ripping into the chunk of smelly blubber plopped down for it, the movement used presented Slygotha the opportunity to observe gender without tipping the wyrmling over. It was an obvious male, and he continued tearing lustily into his dinner with enough fervor as to pique the interests of a sleeping Razeth, who looked over.
The shy little female tumbled over herself, flopping clumsily over her own feet and wailing pitifully while Slygotha started humming to her to calm her. " You are a most gentle soul, little dragon."
Hopefully her timid nature would not become a problem.

Shane glanced to Lexi and winked "The good part about having family over, huh? Watching them do dishes" He teased then laughed when Ian turned and flicked water on him
~~~
Star looked around again before reaching for her stone but stopped when she saw something strange "Falkirk, what is that?" She asked, pointing to a balor flying in the distance.
~~~
Sorcha smiled a little but was glad when the food was brought to them so that she wasn't the center of attention anymore.She picked out what she wanted and let the others do the same before she would eat.

"Up until now? Do you think they will pursue this and make it official? Sorcha deserves to be happy." Bardou replied privately, picking out his food and thanking them.
~~~
Angela giggled softly "It is the way doves walk." She said though that made her think of her lost family and that made her sad. She turned to head for the dining room, watching to be sure he followed. "Come on, before we get stepped on" She said, trying to tease a little.
~~~
"I have had this stuff in my collection doing nothing but collecting dust for a while, it may need to be smelted into new shapes, but it should be good for something." Ember said and smiled, standing and looking to the bag "Though the arrows can be used as they are, if we have any archers."

Kellan watched him then sighed softly. It was hard to not be scared of something like iron, but he would have to get over that if they were to fight with it.

( Crocodiles eggs gender is controlled with temperature. It's amazing how one degree can effect that change.)

Reaper chuckled softly at his tinder spirited daughter. "I believe that one I'll protect the most. Alright, after some thought, I've come up with some names to choose from: Corduth, Tulvir, Favnir and Valstrath." He looked down upon the ravenous male and said, "I'm partial to Valstrath for him, but if you prefer a different one. It's perfectly fine with me. " He then looked to the two motionless eggs, finally mourning them.
