*Hidden Nature* A Shapeshifting RP

[Bantambird]

"Oh, right! " Xatia replied as she found her seat. She smiled sheepishly at the slight annoyed hyena driver.

Asclepius looked sober as they passed through the portal, taking in the surroundings as they approached.

Xavier smiled happily and nodded with that. "Yes, he's a hermit scholar, but once you get him to go outside, Storm knows how to have a good time." He said with heartfelt emotion. He looked to Aurora and asked, " Do you really think I'll get my son back? What if he's used aginst us and he's..." Xavier couldn't finish that thought aloud.

Maxton turned to watch the Goddess leave for Menagerie. "And end the threat of Pariah for good. " He said solemnly.
~~~
Jax was finishing his night report as Graff watched the monitors passively. "Looks like another day of boring Menagerie tv. Man, I wish I could have gone through with the others. I bet they are having loads of action and blowing things up."

Jax scoffed at Graff's enthusiasm. "Or killed or eaten. No thanks! I'm keep this nice cushy job right here. Boring predictability included." He said with a chuckle. When all of a sudden a bright flash blinded them both. To stunned, the fumbled for the panel to press the panic button. But was stopped short with a butt of a rifle to their heads.

Navar whooped as he smiled at Ackley. "Look at that! Caught our first rats! Did they sound the album? " He asked.

Ackley shook her head, "Nope! I busted his hand" She said with a grin. "Let's tie them up. We can't risk the gunshots." She ordered Maxwell.

Navar turned to Fay and said," Okay, we got it from here. Good luck out there."
~~~
" What you're doing is equally as important. Besides, I've been doing so while you were working on a solution. The trail ends here." Racine whispered through their bond. Dawn's death making more sense. "They must have killed her an their way out. They used her mirror portal to leave unnoticed. " Racine replied sadly.
~~~
Avalon frowned in thought. " With Fae it is an old custom and hasn't been in use for some time. I can't recall a double bond subject. Mainly because of its permanency. But my brother, untrusting king that he may be, uses it exclusively on his men. You see, one cannot block their mind with that type of bond. Hence why monarchies used it on their subjects and was called a blood oath." Avalon explained the history to Foneth. Avalon glanced back to Bardou as he added his own idea. "That could very well work. But love is a powerful motivator. But Foneth is not in love with any Fae." She thought aloud and looked to the great dragon princess.

"If he is used against us, then he will be made to sleep until after Pariah and Marcus are dead, then we can free him." Aurora said gently. She really didn't like the thought of killing another dragon if it could be avoided.

Kellan nodded then looked to the wolves getting their weapons ready to go in and fight. "Get ready to make the portals in"
~~~
Fay dipped her head and looked at the camera feeds, picking one to go to to 'erase' that part of the wall with the glyphs even as she started unraveling the spell used to block travel in and out. She moved quickly, working to take out all the glyphs she could find to give the others a chance to come in and battle
~~~
Sorcha looked to the room and frowned then searched for the stone that came to this mirror, if they couldn't find it, they would have to break this mirror, or move it to the dungeon."She would have been protective of her room" She didn't know much about the young female, but she knew a little. She wished she had gotten to know her better.
~~~
"Then it is moot unless he can be fully released from Racine" Foneth said and shook her head a little "I am not in love with anyone, but love, while a strong emotion, is not the only strong emotion. I will have to think on this" She said then looked to Spyro "Though that doesn't mean we cannot try to get you and the others to shift in the meantime."

~~~
Rhetta cursed and had the men cover the device and one another as they hunkered down for the wildfire started by the soldier with the grenade. This was why she had been against it's use, she knew the flames would be hard to put out and with them trapped in place, they had nowhere to run to. The electric nets still up would be a loss with the fire and explosions though the equipment still in the cases could be saved as they circled the anti-magic device and dug in, waiting for the flames to burn through the area and dissipate.

Aurora's promise eased the fear he'd be carrying around with him. He looked to her with gratitude. "Thank you for telling me that."

Maxton nodded and looked around for Xatia. "Where's Princess Xatia? " He asked a bit alarmed.
~~~
The two hyenas moved the knocked out men to the small bathroom in the back of the security room and shut the door. Navar sat watch the monitors and give Fay a heads up whenever someone was headed her way. He pulled out his phone and texted, " Operation Trojan Horse of success." To the pack leaders. He had no idea if the signal would go through.
~~~
Racine searched for the stone, but knew they had taken it. "Or we have a way of capturing some of them." He thought privately to Sorcha.
~~~
Spyro looked to Avalon for permission. At her words in his mind, "Go, I have Bardou with me. This is important." Spyro smiled and bowed formally to her and said, "Yes, my queen." To Foneth he said, "I'm ready when you are princess. I've taking the liberty call a few others to join our lesson, if that alright?"
~~~
Chevez was on his way back with both Markus and Pariah. They could see the flames from miles away. "What on earth happened?!" Markus demanded.

"I don't know sir. It must be a new development. There wasn't any flame when I left, just an eerie darkness and groping vines." Chevez explained as he reached for the radio. "Echo-one! Come in Echo-one. Why is it hot as Hades down there?" He squawked over the radio.

Pariah said some choice words in Fae as the helicopter heated around them the closer they got.

 

[NickyKnack]

Asclepius looked sober as they passed through the portal, taking in the surroundings as they approached.

Xatia looked to Asclepius and wondered about his levity transforming into this sober vestige. "Are you alright? " She asked concerned. The van slowed as it reached the others.

Pariah said some choice words in Fae as the helicopter heated around them the closer they got.

Aurora dipped her head to him, she hoped that either they wouldn't have to fight Storm or if they did, that he would be able to be contained easily, because while she didn't want him dead, the others would be fighting for their lives and might go too far. She looked over to Maxton at his question "She would have rode in in a van, she was with Asclepius."

Kellan looked around also, wondering which van she had gotten in.
~~~
(I don't know if the signal goes through...is the 'blocker' still on?)
~~~
"Capture?" Sorcha asked, looking to him then at the mirror and wondering how they could capture them using it. Hm...there were possibilities in that, if they could keep them from simply leaving the way they had come.
~~~
"It's good to hear your voice, we had to use a thermite grenade and it made all the vines the dragon was using go up in flames and explosions. We are trapped where we are." One of the men replied "But on the other hand, she and her brood are trapped in the cave and she has to be running low on magic by now"

(Foneth's reply? )

 

[Bantambird]

Xatia looked to Asclepius and wondered about his levity transforming into this sober vestige. "Are you alright? " She asked concerned. The van slowed as it reached the others.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm alright. It's just, I'm supposed to get serious now. I mean, we are about to head into the battle of our lives, so I just felt, you know, that some amount of seriousness was in order," he said, awkwardly scratching the back of his head. "I think someone over there is looking for you, Xatia," Asclepius​ pointed towards the others.

 

[StarrNico]

(Foneth's reply?

)

(nope, can't have it. Lol, just kidding...)
Foneth looked to Spyro and Ender and smiled then looked back to Avalon "Let me know if you need anything Queen Avalon" She said then bowed her head before standing to follow the two Sylphs. She was eager to meet the other sylphs that were going to come too."This should be interesting"

 

[NickyKnack]

"Yeah, yeah, I'm alright. It's just, I'm supposed to get serious now.

"I think someone over there is looking for you, Xatia," pointed Asclepius towards the others.

Xatia didn't even glanced in the direction he'd indicated. "So, let them look. Our minds are linked. I would have heard their call." She said as she stood. She held her hand out to Asclepius and asked teasingly with a smile, "Are you coming golden goose?"

"I would be delighted!" Answered Asclepius, taking her proffered hand. He definitely enjoyed escorting her to the others, despite any looks he might receive for doing so. He tried looking serious again for the others. He didn't want to make light of the situation.
