*Hidden Nature* A Shapeshifting RP

[Bantambird]

Broodmother's humming soothed any upset Valstrath was experiencing. It calmed him almost instantly. Razeth inched even closer to Slygotha to sniff her to ensure she was still herself. He'd seen those meat suits take control of that ice dragon. He whimpered at the remembrance.
Anubis smiled and enjoyed her gratitude. Most pagan god's did like to be praised, after all. "You're welcome, as well as worthy of my generous gift." He said as he dipped his head to Slygotha.

Slygotha, having recovered her strength, was ready to continue. "Lord Anubis, I was swimming downstream to reach the port city. Do you wish to float downstream with us, or do you want to walk or fly? Or, I suppose you can teleport if you like. My biggest concern in teleportation is not being able to know my surroundings before arriving into a possible ambush or startling a crowd, but I and my wyrmlings have been practicing our human shapes and our coverings, so I suppose we could blend in. I may be over thinking this, however, those are my concerns." Slygotha resettled her wings against her back, her crest finally relaxed as she shook her bony head.

"I'm ready whenever you are. One question, how do we find where the Goddess took Phoebe?" Asked Asclepius.

"Call the goddess and ask" Kellen answered even though he hadn't been asked.

"Call the goddess and ask" Kellen answered even though he hadn't been asked.

"Well, I guess they can hear us mortals if we ask in the correct way, right? Does she require rituals? Fay is your Goddess, right? So would she even respond if I said anything?" Asked Asclepius, an eyebrow raised.

"She told us all, simply call her full name and she would try to come." Kellen said with a shrug. "Phaethon"

The female looked back to the house and nodded, accepting what he said. "So many here have helped us to learn better since coming here. It is good to see what is supposed to be."

Jackie held him close for a moment then let go so she could make the note and grab her phone. "Let's talk to the boys, give them something to do then vanish."
~~~
(face palm, I forgot.)
Anna chuckled and nodded "That sounds good. It does seem like so long ago but in another way it seems so short a time too."

"It is a remarkable place ran by some pretty special individuals. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for tnem. I was a captive of Menagerie. " Pyro replied truthfully. He looked to the dragonkin and smiled kindly.
~~~
Bertram was a bit hesitant. Could they really accomplish this? How far would they get before they had to turn back? But with a stern determination, he set those frivolous worries aside and focused upon the pleasantries. Some private time with Jackie. He stood up and grinned. " I know just the chore. You fence could use a coat of paint. That should keep them busy for a time." He said with enthusiasm.

Zypher thought about that an agreed, " Yeah, I believe you're right. " the elevator soon came and they were heading down to the garage.

Xatia listened quietly before adding simply, " It would stand to reason that when calling her name, be you mortals or shifters, the goddess would be tuned into any who knew that specific name." She shrugged absently and looked around for any brilliant light.

Slygotha heaved a sigh, nodding slightly in acknowledgement. Her words were rather garbled in her head, but it was clearing. She had to focus on the language she wanted to speak now, because there were so many dialects swimming together that at the moment it was hard to pick out just one. She hummed to her frightened wyrmlings to soothe their fears.
After twenty minutes, the throbbing became a dull ache, and her equilibrium returned enough for her to rise to her feet. Slowly, she rose up, and picking her words carefully, spoke softly to her wyrmlings. " I have been granted a great gift that will help us in our quest. The gift of tongues will help us blend in wherever we go. I am very grateful to Lord Anubis for his gift."
Turning to Anubis, Slygotha nodded in approval.

"I'm not adverse to any conventional means of travel. I do have my dog shape that travels early enough. I understand your concerns and they are valid in their possible outcomes. The human hoard has spread far and wide. Not many untouched areas are left." Anubis answered. He looked to Slygotha and added plainly, "There is no need to address me as Lord. Anubis will be sufficient enough. Your formality is noteworthy and appreciated, but not required."

(Sorry I took so long, was traveling a bunch) Slygotha's irises narrowed a bit with Anubis's frank talk. She was unsure of any hidden intentions with dropping titles, but perhaps he wished to be seen as a colleague rather than a god pursuing goals that happened to coincide with her own. " If that is your wish, Anubis, I can oblige. You have proved your Divinity to me, and know that I am both grateful and humbled by it. My species of dragon is semi aquatic, and we will not have to fight the current to get to the Bay where the river joins the ocean. On the outskirts, we can shift to become a nondescript family and just walk into the city."

(It's fine. My life has been ground in reality here lately. Never apologize for living it. )
" Come now, don't look at me that way. It's not a widely accepted title anymore, especially in these Christian times. Lord refers to a far different God." He explained simply. He looked to Slygotha and added, " Your plan is most logical and has less chance of drawing undue attention. Now, shall we? " Anubis asked before shifting into his dog form. (Great Dane sized for size reference.)

The female nodded and looked back to the family again before going to lay down once more.
~~~
Jackie chuckled and nodded "We can try it anyway" She said, going to find the others so they could be told their job and the pair could sneak off for some alone time together.
~~~
Anna quieted as they rode the elevator down, reaching to hold his hand and lean against his side a little as they waited for the doors to open so they could go to the car and head out once again.
~~~
Fay heard her name, appearing after a little while and looking around "Hello again"
