*Hidden Nature* A Shapeshifting RP

"No, the nest itself is easy enough to dig. I will miss my old place though, but I'm sure it was sacked when I was captured. Hmm. Actually, a big glob of wet clay near the lava, but not touching, would be nice. I can shape it into a basin to receive the eggs as they are laid. That would make it much better for the eggs, I suppose," said Phoebe. "Oh, and, let Asclepius know where I am. He will come looking, later. He may be a scoundrel, but he's not cold. He will want to check in with me," mentioned Phoebe.

Fay smiled and nodded, "That sounds good. I wish you and your young all the best"

Nashton processed that information as he looked up to see 25 and Merrick flying in and landing close by. At the expression upon Merrick's face, Nashton nodded, "Yep, that sums it up. Let's head back to the others, in case there are others watching and waiting for their next opportunity." He said as he scanned the treeline suspiciously.

"I'm with you there. I have the distinct feeling that this war is evolving continuously." Merrick said with conviction as he held tight to 25.

Cadeon reached out a comforting hand and rested it on Elle's knee. "Hey, now. I know and I understand completely, as I'm sure the others will too. With all you have singlehandedly done to assist us in this war and now with Aurora's disappearance.... I think a slight scold is all you've going to get for you sneaking away." He replied matter-of-factly.
~~~
Navar looked around and added quietly as he stood by Jason, "Then a final head count can acutely be done."

Xatia and Maxton had started moving the rescued hybrids and shifters with various wolves to the sanctuaries they'd had set up.

"Wonderful news! Just as Jackie's is the best place form them too. I never felt safer in all my years then last night." Zypher confided to Fay, a moment before his eye sought out a busy Anna across the way. It was the calm before the storm, he thought to himself. He worried on behalf of his friends and wouldn't rest until he got them all back safely.
~~~
Gammr moaned and laid on her side. The strange motion was making her nauseated. She then caught whiff of the salty air from a seam in the creat. "I smell ocean. " She stated through her misery. Hades hounds did not like water of any kind.
~~~
Aeval saw a gleaming something in the dim light. It stuck out from the busted wooden box. "Look, Aurora! A metal spike!" She said as she pulled it free to present it to her.

30 dipped his head in a nod, looking to Nashton and waiting for him to settle in place so they could take off and reunite with the others. Neither he nor 25 was comfortable here now.
~~~~
Elle gave him a weak smile then shook her head a little "Yeah, I guess so. Mom is missing though, so everyone is going to be worried about her and the others that vanished." She didn't want to get in trouble but not because others were gone.
~~~
Fay nodded and turned to take the dragonness away from there
~
Jason started getting all the non-essential people together and out of the void so they could do a full headcount with Anna's help
~~~
The wolves each sniffed then took seats as the ship started to move "Great, we are on the water." One male said unhappily
~~~
Aurora had a far-away look to her as she listened to the world outside the crate "The ocean, but I can't feel it." This was so strange, she could smell it and feel the motion of the waves, but she couldn't feel the sea as she always had been able to, it was blocked.

Racine smiled as she informed him of what she'd done to the room. "Very wise indeed, my beloved wife." He replied privately back to her as he watched the dealings from their vantage point.

The royals were stunned by this attack, but continued to listen to Bardou in silence until his conclusion. Then the questions started. Many a panic of individual fears. But Bardou answered them with supreme patience.

Avalon finished her mental search and rejoined the room fully. She looked down at the drawings her hands had sketched during her search of the servants minds for the invaders images. "These are our nemesis." She said aloud as she presented the drawings to the royals. Sorcha had provided her with their likeness. She wasn't going to share the brutal vision from the dungeon with the others. Somethings can not be unseen.
~~~
As promised, the refreshments were being brought out to the field for the great dragon princess and her guards.

"What vast knowledge you have gifted me. I'm forever in you debt, Princess Foneth. " Dyrus replied quietly.

Ender continued his instruction with the new arrivals.
~~~
Falkirk felt his mates trepidation and longed to soothe her of her fears, but he had very much the same thoughts about himself. He brushed her closest side with the tips of his wing, the only physical reassurance he could give her at the moment. "Star, we must know the facts before we cast ourselves the culprits." He replied through their link.

Sorcha smiled at Racine then sobered and looked to the gathering once more. She did not like the possibility of fighting these people, but it would have to be done if they wished to survive and keep their home.

Bardou looked to the queen as she passed out the drawings then looked back to the royals gathered there. He watched them, waiting for them to all see the drawings and for the questions sure to arise now.
~~~
Foneth looked to the food as it was brought out and smiled before closing her eyes to focus on bringing her fae form out once again. She looked back to Dryus again and smiled softly "I and Avalon need all the great dragons awakened, and those that can handle themselves taught enough magic to protect themselves."
~~~
Star nickered at the touch, looking to Falkirk again, she was happy that he was so kind and considerate of her feelings. She looked ahead once more, flying for the castle quickly.

Nidhogg was snuffling not far from the den when she picked up a lot of strange scents. Something she didn't understand had happened here. Was the Broodmother alright? A fresh scent from one of her brothers wafted close, and she heard the low humming as he called for family. She replied in kind, harmonizing as she perked up, cocking her head and looking expectantly in his direction.

Razeth stopped in his tracks and felt as much as heard Nidhogg's reply. He chirped softly and started for the direction he'd ventured from.

 

[NickyKnack]

Jackie dipped her head, smiling at that "We will bring over something for you to eat in a little while, though there is plenty in the pantry if you know how to cook and don't want to wait. You will both need to eat soon anyway."

"Thank you Jackie. We'll try not to be a burden." Ravek said with deep gratitude.

 

[Bantambird]

Razeth stopped in his tracks and felt as much as heard Nidhogg's reply. He chirped softly and started for the direction he'd ventured from.

As Razeth came into view, Nidhogg chirruped, then raced forward to her brother. After greeting him, Nidhogg asked," what has happened? Something isn't right here, brother."

 

[StarrNico]

"Thank you Jackie. We'll try not to be a burden." Ravek said with deep gratitude.

Jackie dipped her head again and smiled. "Rest well" She said before turning to go back to her house.

Nashton climbed on 30 and held on tightly. Merrick did likewise as 25 took to the sky again.
(Time skip?)
~~~
"Hey, well find your mom. We found Anna, Angela and Luce when Markus took them." Cadeon said reassuringly.
~~~
Zypher finished sweeping the floors once again with the help of the Sylphs. This place was ready to kick the tiers and light the fires. It was a bitter sweet. He wanted Markus and that serpent. But here then this had to leave a bentry in his funding and operations. Money didn't grow on trees and they'd cut off his military connection with the capture of general Watson.
~~~
(I don't know what to say here. This one is my favorite new face.)
~~~
Aeval looked to Aurora worridly. She'd felt the block from her elements too. "It must be the collars doing it. I can't feel mine either. " She admitted quietly.

(Yep...all of them, to getting together after the blast? Have a giant meeting in Jackie's realm?)
~~~
Aurora shivered and nodded, looking at the bit of metal then taking it. "Hm, let me see the collar, maybe we can pick the lock with this?" She said thoughtfully.

(Yeah sounds good. But don't the alphas want to watch the explosion? Jason and Anna both need to push the buttons. for a bit of closure at least. )
~~
Aeval smiled at Aurora's plan. She just hoped it worked.
(My auto correct keeps changing Aeval to Avalon. Lol! )
