*Hidden Nature* A Shapeshifting RP

[Bantambird]

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"

Slygotha cringed as the cavern started heating up to uncomfortable levels from the inferno outside. " Come with me to the back of the cave," she commanded to the wyrmlings. Gugol unburied herself hesitantly, not wanting to remove herself from the gold, while Trogdor almost gleefully clamored between Slygotha's wings to perch there between wings and frills and spikes. "Razeth, Nevitha, and Valstrath, you may climb on if you wish, or walk with me to the back side. The nest itself may catch fire, for our acid is rather combustible when it comes down to it, so we need to get to the upper shelf. She snuffled each wyrmling in turn.

Xavier stood quietly by the Fae and prepared himself as best he could. Ravek looked to him with a flash of anguish at what he'd done to him. But he focused upon his beloved Shaylee and pushed those mixed emotions deep. He looked away from Xavier and looked ahead.

Maxton looked to Aurora and dipped his head in acknowledgement. As long as Xatia was alright. He turned as he heard footsteps. "Princess, Asclepius. You're just in time." He said in greeting.
~~~
(They have that signal booster on top of the elevator, remember? )

Navar growled as he watched the little blue wheel turn and turn. Then finally the message went through. He grinned widely and looked back at the monitors. Now he had to find Shaylee. "Ackley hack into their database and find where they have Shaylee." He instructed.
~~~
Racine stepped over to the mirror and nodded. "Yes, that's Tha catch. How to turn a key stone one sided. What if the limit the door. Except we'll be sure it's in a place of our choosing. Is that even possible? I've been away from this realm a very along time. " He brainstormed mentally.
~~~
"Roger, Echo-one. We're almost there. Hang tight! " Chevez reported before finding a way to get close without adding fuel to the fire. Are the bike crashing or fanning it with the strong wind the blades created. "This is close as I can get sir. I can't set her down because of the trees. You're going to have to repel.

Markus grinned widely and shook his head, "And what, miss riding a gargoyle? Not likely. Now get back to that warehouse and lead Alpha team out here. We're going to need those containment trucks. We're leaving here with the prize." He ordered as he headed to the side door and his waiting ride. Pariah returned to his person in a flash of light after calling forth another hoard of gargoyle. She sent them in to assist Markus's men.and to try to put out the fire.

 

[NickyKnack]

(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" 

( )
Spyro chuckled softly. "An understatement for sure. I only hope I don't make a spectacle like big brother here. He's had the tongues waggling ever since. He ruined queen Nabal's vist. Things abruptly ended after you flew off. Appropriate you should be called Ender." He replied teasingly.

Ender looked to Foneth and rolled his eyes playfully and moved his hand in a manner that simulated talking. He stopped abruptly as Spyro looked back at him. "What? I didn't do anything. " He said, playing innocent.
~~
(Sylph names. :/ So hard....)

Tramsin, Horrvis, Dyrus, Crofton and AziRon fluttered to land in the designated field. They all turned simultaneously to watch the approach of the beautiful Great dragon princess, Spyro and Ender. They murmured softly amongst themselves in speculation of Ender's return. But regardless of whys, they all eagerly anticipated the outcome of their shift lessons.

Slygotha cringed as the cavern started heating up to uncomfortable levels from the inferno outside. " Come with me to the back of the cave," she commanded to the wyrmlings. Gugol unburied herself hesitantly, not wanting to remove herself from the gold, while Trogdor almost gleefully clamored between Slygotha's wings to perch there between wings and frills and spikes. "Razeth, Nevitha, and Valstrath, you may climb on if you wish, or walk with me to the back side. The nest itself may catch fire, for our acid is rather combustible when it comes down to it, so we need to get to the upper shelf. She snuffled each wyrmling in turn.

Nevitha, Razeth and Valstrath quickly shuffled to their broodmother and nuzzled her to calm themselves down. They were equally terrified of the flames, fumes and explosions from outside. They all took sanctuary upon her back. Each finding a position and melding as close as they could to her. Valstrath slightly shook as he stared out at the bright orange glow in the outer cavern. Nevitha however made small vocalizations at the thing that scared her. She was telling it to leave and let them be. Razeth was dad silent. His eyes widened to show the whites in the corners. He took everything in and watched the others as they akl waited the fire out. He looked to the entrance of the hoard cavern and noticed the scattered gold coins there furthest away from them were starting to dissolve into little golden puddles. How could something so sold turn to a liquid. He thought fearfully.
~~~
Reaper flew fast and strong back to his home. Except it didn't look like home anymore. It was a war zone. He wailed in despair as he saw the destruction. He called out loudly to his beautiful mate in draconic. Hopping he wasn't to late.

Storm looked down at the fiery inferno. The heat making his scales creak as they retracted. He didn't waste time. He opened his jaws and blew his coldest breath he could create. At fist it had little to no effect. But as he chilled the air above the den and then by flying in tight circles, he started to turn the heat down to a safer level. He the focused upon the stone entryway of the deen. As the accumulation of condensation appeared upon the stone face, it wasn't long after that frost formed. Storm then hung in the air and concentrated on cooling the stone and caked mud in front of the den and outward.

Reaper watched Storm work helpless to assist his family at the moment. He looked to the humans and yet more gargoyles across the way. It angered him that they were all benefiting from Storm's efforts. They should all burn from what they'd done to them.

Anna looked to her phone as a message came through then showed it to Jason and Zypher so they could see "Should we go ahead and have the fae go into the void to try opening that portal to the inside?"

Aurora looked to the others before resuming her dragon form. When they were ready, she would attack the outside with some others.

Kellan looked to the two and smiled at their appearance then looked over to the alphas
~~~
Fay soon returned to the security room and took a seat, "This barrier is tricky, but I almost...Got it!" She grinned and looked to the hyenas again "The Fae can come in now."

Shaylee was asleep in the room she was in, laying on the floor alone. The room itself had no access to any water and had iron around it to keep her weak
~~~
Sorcha frowned at the mirror as she followed his thoughts then shook her head as a different way presented itself "No, we don't have to change the mirror's spell, just make a portal directly in front of it to send them to a cell in the dungeon that we can muffle in preparation. Let them come in at ceiling height or with a one way portal there." She said excitedly, though keeping their communication just between them.
~~~
Foneth chuckled softly and looked to the others as they arrived. She dipped her head to them in greeting to them "Greetings, I am Foneth, daughter of King Pendragon. We must try to learn how to shift." She said then looked to Ender "As Ender is the only one that has achieved this, even through accident, we should listen to him." She said and looked back to the brothers again. Hm, will and a strong emotion and the desire to be another shape all mixed together...
~~~
Echo group was glad of the gargoyles help and for Storm's help with cooling the fires. There were quite a few boiled and burned crocodiles in the waters, and mud, around them now as the men came out and looked around then focused on the two flying dragons and the cave once more. "Is Storm helping the black dragon?"

Nevitha, Razeth and Valstrath quickly shuffled to their broodmother and nuzzled her to calm themselves down. They were equally terrified of the flames, fumes and explosions from outside.

As the heat at the mouth of the den crept into the nest, the acid soaked area started to burn. Slygotha made sure all the wyrmlings were secure before clambering into the recesses at the back of the treasure hoard, where she had hidden her most prized treasures. She was loathe to reveal her favorite pieces even to her wyrmlings, and repeated inwardly that they were but infants, and her favorite treasures would not be stolen or sullied by their presence. She burrowed under the pile, encircling her young charges protectively from the rising heat.
Then, it stopped getting quite so hot. Inside the den was still smouldering, but she could feel through her connection with the land that the landing had seen a drastic reduction in temperature, unnaturally so. She bristled at the implications. She was running out of options. She would be forced into combat wether she liked it or not.

Asclepius soaked in the briefing, mentally preparing to assist. He had no use for forearms so was already prepared to enter.

"Is Storm helping the black dragon?" 

"It couldn't hurt. That way as soon as we get word, we'll push forward. " Zypher voiced his opinion.

Ravek looked to Kallen, as did Maxton. They'd had an idea and watched to get his reaction to it as the shared it with him. "If we each take different floors in Menagerie. They wouldn't need the elevators and could effectively attack simultaneously." Ravek presented mentally.

Xatia turned as she listed in to the exchange.
~
Aeval stepped over to Aurora's dragon form in her own Balor form. Pandora looked to Aurora and said playfully, "You didn't think we'd let you have all the fun did you?." Ana rolled her eyes at the boisterous sister.

Nektar walked over timidly in his Climara from. His serpent tail whipping around anxiously.

Garmr stood almost motionless as she took in the whole group.

Degan and Aurelius were both shifted and spoke quietly amongst themselves. Cadeon and Nashton were settling their own nervousness in their usual way, by ridding on eachother. The each had their iron daggers readily available, just in case they needed them.
(Just some role calling. So I have a mental tally. )
~~~
Navar grinned broadly and admitted, "I had no doubts goddess ol' pal. " He then started typing the all clear text to Anna.

"There! I finally found her! Oh, no! They have her isolated upon an uncharted floor. The only thing i can think of, is it must still be under construction. She's not looking good. There's absolutely no water on that floor. Don't Hippocampus need water to live?" Ackley asked concerned.
~~~
"Very clever love. That's just one of the many, many reasons I love you. You're perfection and you're wicked smart. " Racine thought to her with all the admiration hemail felt wit it.
~~~
The Sylphs bowed formally and looked to Foneth as they straightened once again. They each introduced themselves to her in rapid succession. They then looked to Ender expectantly.

Ender stood a bit taller and explained without to many deals into why he'd felt such rage and abject betrayal, just that it was overpowering in its ferocity.

Spyro listened with a heavy heart. For he knew well the reasons his brother had felt so strongly. For he'd contributed to them in his own way. He felt true regret and heartfelt remorse. He looked to the ground in shame.
~~~
Markus looked to the two dragons and hissed angrily. "That little snot! Pariah! Fix that now!" Ordered urgently.

Pariah who had been healing The gravely injured, stood to look in the direction Markus was pointing. "Let him put the fire out. You don't want to lose the assets. " She said calmly.

Valsath, Razeth and Nevitha clung tightly to the broodmother.
~~~
Reaper couldn't wait any longer. He had to find out if his family was alright. He hummed strong and low to her. A sound that vibrated the very earth and stone. He settled down upon a ledge and glared at the humans with frill raised and teeth bared while he awaited Slygotha's reply.

Storm continued in his efforts, not getting overly close to the others. He turned as he hear a familiar voice and cut off his cooling breath. He roared at Markus and Pariah angrily. Yes, he'd managed to gather enough emotion to break the hold of the minion spell long enough to say an incantation to break it. It was a good thing to have a photographic memory. He'd see it in the kings spell book once. Good thing he had.

(Rolecall? Um....lol. Hm, Aurora, Kellan, Anna, Jason, Ember, Fay, Rana, Lyra, Skylar(?), Shane and various npc wolves)
(And my mind is blank, lol, I'll get to this in the morning)
