*Hidden Nature* A Shapeshifting RP

[NickyKnack]

" I see no problem in betting on the winner, Reaper. After all, we are likely to be the nicest Black dragon parents around." Slygotha laughed.
" We ought to get a reward for taking such good care of our little ones. Alas, however, we may be the last of the blacks, so ensuring their survival is the most important. There is no harm in a little sport, so long as they don't kill each other. And I already told them I would not tolerate wing maiming. I say, let them fight as much as they want, after all, they are male anyways."

Reaper frowned in thought and nodded, "Perhaps our strange natures are why we have successfully survived to be in this modern world." He then chuckled deeply at her last statement and looked to thier battling wyrmlings. "That they are, my love. For males are primitive beasties, but sometimes..." He said with humor as he looked to Nevitha, before continuing, " a female is of their elk." He then focused upon his mate. "But add to that cunning and maternal viciousness, and you have a truly formidable foe and my perfect mate." Reaper replied softly to Slygotha with a serpentine smile.

"It has always been the duty of wolves to be the guardians of the forest." Ian said then shrugged "None would think to include other creatures so completely until now."


"Alphas in the past corroborated with outsiders, but never asked them to join with us" Shane added. "Our newest alphas have changed the way we think about it. I hope they can keep the pack together after this war."

Star walked with Falkirk, stopping at the door when she saw Sorcha and Racine and the others in the throne room.

Sorcha smiled and took his arm to walk with him to the tables. She glanced to the side when a door opened. "Princess Star, Prince Falkirk, It is good to see you both." 
~~~

Aurora led the way to the door of the penthouse so they could regroup and talk again.
~~
Rana chuckled then nodded "That sounds like fun" She said then looked back to the forge again. It was interesting to watch how they melted the metal and formed it to other shapes.


Ember laughed at that and shook her head a little "You say the oddest things at times, but I like it." She said softly. 

"Oh, that would be sad if the new was breaks up the packs. Hopefully they can all find a commonality amongst their differences. " Lexi replied honestly.
~~~
Falkirk made a surprised sound as he also saw his friends here. That was the last thing he'd expected. "As it is good to see you. This is most unexpected." He said truthfully. "I hope you're not stranded here as well. How is this possible? " He asked on the common link, as they walked over to them.

Racine looked to Star and Falkirk. Glad to see they were fine.

Jackdaw came over to them. "Tis good to see you both. Princess Sorcha was able to alter the spell to make it a two-way portal." He explained simply.

Maxton smiled happily at their appearance. Relief evident upon his face.
~~~
As Avalon and Bardou made it to the shade of the tree of life, she looked up into its branches. "I never grow tired of looking upon this tree. It is the life's blood of this realm. For this is a sacred and magical place." She replied absently, as she moved to step away from Bardou. She'd glanced to Ender when she felt his piercing gaze. It was validating to see he still cared.
~~~
Garmr looked to the door with slight trepidation. But stood tall and hid it well.

Ravek came up behind Aurora and Garmr as they reached the penthouse door.

Sandor also watched the wolves worked. They were pouring and cracking opened the first poured molds. While others were hilting and honing the daggers.

Cadeon smiled warmly with a shrug. "I'm glad you like my strange comments. I can't help thrm. That's just how I see the world." He said happily.

 

[NickyKnack]

"No." She replied softly, as she looked down at her food. "Just thinking."

Kyth chuckled lightly, "Yes, I know that part well. That's why I said lost in your head. Because I'll do that and not realize I've even done it. Well, not until someone waves there hand in front of my face." He explained with a smile.

 

[NickyKnack]

"You just simply have to listen to tone of voice and notice body language." She told him simply, thinking. "Whenever I'm joking around, usually I'll smile at least a little bit, I won't look completely serious, and I might roll my eyes. And my voice will change too, I'll sound mocking and maybe laugh a little. That's kind of how everyone sounds or appears when they're joking, no matter what it's about, you just have to notice it." She explained to him. "If I'm being serious, then I'm not doing any of those things."

"Ok, duly noted. I'll endeavor to do better in the future. This humor sounds simple enough to determine. " Cicero said seriously.

 

[StarrNico]

Asclepius blinked a few times. "Help me? I'm here to help you. That's what I do. I help everyone. Since you're the boss, I'll give you a rundown on my abilities so you can place me where I'm needed most. I'm a golden dragon, Great Wyrm class, 3000 years old. I've studied healing in great lengths in both humanoids, animal and dragons, and am a proficient shapeshifter, and can take on any shape I like. My breath weapon is fire and weakening gas, and I can cast light, clerical, and healing class spells. My fire breath will melt metal, and I eat gemstones and pearls. I don't like to kill things, but if I'm cornered, I will destroy my enemies. I love people, and I wander from city to city helping those I find, never staying for very long. So, I'm hoping that's a good enough summary of skills and what I've been doing, so if you wanna see my true form, we're going to need a bigger room." He grinned widely, oblivious to his lack of social tact.

Jason laughed softy once he was done. "We have some doctors, if you have been in this city and working in a hospital then you have likely met some. You must be from a different class than th dragons we have me so far, they are Earth and Fae mix. I would probably sed you to talk to Shane, he's over our medical side."

"But add to that cunning and maternal viciousness, and you have a truly formidable foe and my perfect mate." Reaper replied softly to Slygotha with a serpentine smile.

Slygotha nearly glowed with the complement, nuzzling Reaper affectionately. " Indeed, Nevitha portends to be a mighty ruler of her own empire some day, if she continues as she is. She pleases me greatly. I see great things in their futures, if we can but keep them safe until they can speak, fly well, and learn mannerisms to blend into the societies that now dominate the earth. Their natural cunning as Black dragons should help them in that regard, although I myself found human society boring and their cuisine lacking certain flavor."

"We have been so far. I rather like the way they make the new people sound."
~~~
Sorcha moved to hug Star. "I am glad you are alright." she said to both her and Falkirk though she only smiled at him before returning to Racine's side.

Starr smiled at that, glad they wouldn't be trapped in this realm forever.
~~~
"It is wonderful to see this tree again. That is something I missed when I was away" Bardou said but noticed her distraction and who was causing it. "If you wish to speak to him, I would not mind"
~~~
When one of the hyenas let them in, Aurora entered to lead the way for Garmr. "Anna, this is Garmr, the hound from after the giant battle."

Anna looked to the newcomer and smiled "Hello" She said kindly and stood "I am glad you have been freed from your spell."
~~~
Rana smiled as she watched the wolves work. "This is interesting to watch"

Ember smiled again and glanced around them then looked to him again "I like how you see the world then, it is different than I have seen it before"

 

[Bantambird]

Jason laughed softy once he was done. "We have some doctors, if you have been in this city and working in a hospital then you have likely met some. You must be from a different class than th dragons we have me so far, they are Earth and Fae mix. I would probably sed you to talk to Shane, he's over our medical side."

Asclepius grinned sheepishly,rubbing his neck and glancing aside. " I've never been one to pay attention to every detail, I suppose. That would bring up my latent ability, luck magic. I have the ability to imbue any gemstone in my possession with a small amount of luck, affecting probably. Now, one luck talisman isn't going to do a whole lot, it's a lucky charm, yes, but it's a spell I can, and do, use once a day. My natural body is coated in tens of thousands of gemstones pressed into my scales, each one imbued with a bit of extra luck. It is why I escape notice despite my flamboyant self," he emphasized flamboyant, knowing that he isn't like most serious dragons, or people, for that matter. "I've given away many of these luck talismans to deserving people. And yes, I am neither of Earth or Fairy dragons. I'm a true metallic dragon. Our hides are definitely valuable, not only for the golden scales, but obviously the magic imbued gemstones covering them. I would venture to guess that anyone hunting dragons might especially like to get ahold of a Golden's hide, if they could find us. We blend in very well, usually, but my brethren are known for their love of conversation and peaceful and quiet living. We value knowledge as much as anything, and once our trust is gained, that would be when a hunter would probably reel in a Golden dragon." He paused, realising that these other golden dragons mentioned might be of a other group, and not metallic dragons. De decided he would still love to see other dragons, regardless of what kind. He was very excited to see some, being among people for so long.

Allen who was strapped in with a seat belt, looked to the stranger as it approached the wrecked vehicle. The shattered windshield hard to see through, but he fumbled for his gun at his hip. The others in the back were moaning in disoriented pain. "We have a bogie! Look sharp." Allen organic.

Alan walked right past the driver and other members of Bravo team ignoring them completely and headed to the bakc end of the vehicle. He looked through the window and saw the female shifter. He ripped the door off with ease and help her out of the vehicle.

Lexi smiled softly and leaned back against the couch and looked to the TV again. Everyone she'd met so far had been wonderful. Why did Markus want to hurt them?" She wondered to herself.
~~~
"How did you find the portal? We were brought through unexpectedly. " Falkirk asked curiously.

Racine explained the details and how Sorcha had solved the mystery of where the stone was and the spell on it.

Maxton looked to the queen and smiled happily, while dipping his head respectfully.
~~~
"Prince Bardou,that is very generous of you. But I don't believe you know this, Ender's no longer of my court. He mad his choice. He's here for king Racine, he's blood oathed to him, not me." Avalon stated patiently.
~~~
Garmr follow Aurora over to Anna. She looked to the alpha nervously. Not sure how to greet her, or the male at her side. She fell to her knees and looked to the floor silently. Hoping that that was appropriate.

Zypher looked to Anna with a brow raised.
~~~
"Yes, it is. It is definitely an art form." Sandor stated with appreciation.

Cadeon grinned widely and wrapped Ember in his arms. "Aw, that's the sweetest thing I've ever been told. I love you my eternal flame. You light my life and my world. " He whispered as he leaned in to kiss her tenderly.
