*Hidden Nature* A Shapeshifting RP

[StarrNico]

Anna sighed and hugged him close. She knew he was right, but she was so scared for her father despite the brave words she had used on the phone.
~~~
Star walked with Falkirk, wondering about the king then shakiung her thoughts away to focus on this time now. She smiled and looked to the waterfall again. "That gets prettier each time I see it."
~~~
Kyra grinned and jumped doewn to go to Graydon, rubbing against him then looking to the animals to thank them for their help in the fight. She then asked the larger animals like the bears to take the bodies away and scatter them through the forest so they would not be found.
~~~
Ember chuckled and set the baby on the table "Now you gotta stay over here so I can cook, alright?" She said then turned to see what was there thgat she could cook for them.
~~~
Jason frowned and glanced over to the others then to Pyro. He nodded then stood. "Excuse me" he said then went to make a call to try to reach Jackie or another wizard or witch to get the spell removed.

Zypher closed his eyes in frustration. He hated feeling powerless by not being able to get her father free. But he focused on what they could do. " Can you get the word out to the other packs ? To let them know their numbers are compromised. It's not realistic to change that many numbers, but a form of code or password could help decipher who's real and who's not." He replied helpfully.
~~~
Falkirk smiled and agreed, " I feel the exact same thing every time I come here. Not to mention that voice of the waterfall. I've yet to find it's like in this realm."
~~~
Graydon watched as they did as she asked. He turned back to Kyra and shifted to his human form. "That was invigorating! There is nothing like fighting for you home. I didn't even know I had it in me. Thank you Kyra, for showing me I'm not a coward after all. We make such a wonderful team. What you did back there was absolutely amazing! You are amazing, my friend!" He complimented excitedly.
~~~
Bob cooed softly as he hopped over to the edge of the table and looked down at the floor. He then looked to Ember and raised his wings in a pleading gesture. Cadeon chuckled as he stroked his cheek gently. "It looks like he's bonded with you, sweetness. He couldn't have chosen a better guardian." He said with pride. He walked over to wash his hands and asked, "What on the menu? "

Bertram let Garth lead him away to the living room. He enjoyed the young shifter's enthusiasm for reading. He'd be telling him about this book call Robin hood. It sounded pretty good.
~~~
Omen nodded and took a set by Elle to wait for his return. He grinned happily at the young dragoness. Before looking to the others in the room.

 

[StarrNico]

Anna nodded and took a deep breath then pulled away enough to bring her phone up to start making the calls, starting with Jason when her phone rang because of him calling her. The siblings exchanged information, letting those with them get caught up while they were gathered together. Both ended up putting eachother on speakerphone after a minute into the conversation.

~~~
"I doubt there is anything similar in any realm" Starr said, looking to the waterfall again. It was lovely, both to sight and to the ear and she hoped nothing bad ever happened to it.

~~~
Kyra shifted also and grinned, hugging him close "We did it, we fought for our home and won!" She said excitedly. She was elated, not having had much experience in war before this.

~~~
"Looks like duck is on the menu tonight." Ember answered and set the stuff out of the fridge. She glanced to Bob then went over to pick him up and set him on her shoulder "Alright, but you have to hold on and stay still. I do not want you to get hurt."

~~~
Elle returned his snmile then looked to Jason as he came back in to include them all in his phone call to Anna.

David came in with shane (and the other two if you want) to tend to the tracker situation.

Zypher reclaimed his chair and listened to Anna and Jason exchange information. He wrote down the specks on Menagerie. Very helpful indeed.
~~~
"I believe you are right." Falkirk said with conviction. He moved to sit down just off the edge of the large pool. "I could easily spend hours here." He admitted freely.
~~~
"Yes we did. I'll never be a victim again!" He stressed as he picked Kyra off her feet and spun them around happily. "Those monsters were going to hurt out beloved home. I so glad we came back! "
~~~
Bob whispered, "Thank you." Before he disappeared under Ember's hair and nestled in the loop of the collar of her shirt. He groomed a few strands of her hair before tucking his neck along hers to safely watch her prepare the food. But soon warmth and safety gave over to sleep.

Cadeon had taken the vegetables to the sink to washed them. Then he started cutting them up to be used to flavor the ducks cavity.
~~~
(Sure, I had dropped them by accident. )
Jaxon looked around this new place and at the new shifters as well. He stayed close to Skylar, much to his dismay. He reminded himself he was a ruthless killer, not a weak little pup. But he didn't listen, he stayed where he was. Drawing sanctuary from this kindhearted female.

Degan looked to the newcomers curiously. While Pyro discreetly watched Aurora and her girls.

 

[StarrNico]

Anna listened to Jason's news and promised to try to get a hold of Jackie. The other wolves would spread the word that the phones were compromised, and would initiate a plan to use a password or phrase to know if the caller was safe or not.

~~~
Star joined him on the ledge and leaned against him a little. She enjoyed just being close to him like this. A soft twirl left her as they sat there together once more.

~~
Kyra laughed, holding his arms as he spun her around like that. She loved this and never wanted it to end. When he brought her down to Earth again, she moved her hands to give him a hug, kissing his cheek happily.

~~
Ember helped to prepare the meal with Cadeon, feeling very domestic with him and Bob with her in the room. Surprisingly, she loved this feeling. She loved to have people to take care of and care for and about. She hadn't known she would like it quite this much before. It was like having a family of her own

~~
Skylar watched as her father went over to the newest people to introduce himself as the doctor so he could know who needed his services. She glanced to Jaxon and reached to hold his hand. It was a bit crowded in here, so after an introduction, she moved them back to the far corner of the room so they were out of the way of the others. She too liked to have some room in crowds.

Aurora had watched the newcomers come in, subconsciously bringing her daughters closer to her though they made no threat. She trusted the wolves, but she was a mother first and foremost and there were a lot of strangers around now. Her trust of the wolves made her not threaten anyone, but nothing could make her not watch.

Zypher was already cooking up a plan. He started searching for evidence of what he needed to start.

Aurelius was curled up in a chair in the living room. She was glad Anna and herself had that heart-to-heart. Because if they hadn't, she may have slipped out in an attempt to get Don back. Regardless of whether or not it would work. But she held fast. She had made a promise and that was ironclad. She glanced up as Ashton came and lifted her up to sit down beside her. She then eased her back down on a pillow in her lap. She smiled gently at her friendly gesture. Especially when she stroked her hair softly. It worked to ease her tension. "There you go. You were tied up in knots. It will be okay. Don't focus on just your visions. You'll miss the moment. Some that can never be replaced. " Ashton said softly. Aurelius simply nodded and took a steadying breath.
~~~
Falkirk closed his eyes to better enjoy enjoy Star's lovely twirl. He instinctively responded immediately with a deep twirl of his own. When he'd finished, he explained, "I'm so glad I don't have to hold them back anymore. You have made me immensely happy."
~~~
"Oh! My first warrior's token from a fair young maid. It's not just for fictitious characters in books. Today, it is me. Shall we venture home? " Graydon said enthusiastically.
~~~
Cadeon sent loving glances to Ember. She was truly his perfect soul mate. His literal personification of love ever after. It seemed their easy comfort and unspoken intuitiveness, spoke volumes. When her hands were busy, he unapologetically placed a tender kiss on her shoulder in passing.
~~~
Jaxon was greatfyul for her actions. In Menagerie, they were required to intermingle with other shifters, so it was always stressful to be in a vehicle with a few. But a room full was off the charts.

Pyro stood to got to the doctor when he was called over. He still watched the dragoness and how she protected her young. He was surprised that she drew his attention so. It was in part self-preservation and part basic curiously. But when he reached Shane, he forced his complete attention upon the wolf. "I am Pyro. The tracker is here." He said as he pointed to it's marked location.

Degan stayed where he was. He was struggling in his own rights. He'd been isolated so long, it was awkward to start conversations with these shifters. He was very dated on things he knew. So he contented himself with listening to bits and pieces of others conversations.

Omen leaned back against the couch. He was channeling the short distances he could see into the future.

Racine landed Reaper in the field, just off from his now packed camp. He slipped off his back and headed to Thorn to give him his leaves. "Here, now your good deed is redeemed, two fold." Racine said appreciative.

Thorn took them and said with gratitude. "Thank you my king. I would save Aaran again in a heartbeat. Without knowing I'd get more."

Racine clasped him on the shoulder. "But you have already done so. You had no way of knowing we'd get back to Anstopfia. I'm honored to have you as one of my generals. You are truly honorable in every way." He said with utmost respect. He then turned to pass out the other leaves. But before Racine could walk away, Thorn asked, "Shall I send for Andromeda and her sister? Since we are moving to our new land and home."

Racine stopped mid-step and turn back to faced him once again. "That won't be necessary, Thorn. For I released her of her obligations. She is no longer to be my queen. Just as her sister was free to go with her."

Thorn frowned at that and dared to ask further, "But why? She was more then a perfect match for you, my king."

Racine shifted his weight and gave Thorn a stern look, but decided to answer anyway. " For one, there was a breach of contract. Remember, I was to find her other sister who was taken from her. That was to ensure her hand in marriage. But with me coming here for war, that was no longer a priority let alone a likelihood. So you see, our agreement was forfeit. Besides, I don't desire a queen that would love to stab me when I slept." He ended with humor. But the true reason Racine had jumped at the loophole, were for other reasons. Racine thought sentimentality. He'd seen his half sister so changed by love, that he secretly longed for the same thing. Not some arranged marriage, but a true love match. Besides, he had far more important things at hand. He'd have to wait for frivolous love.

Thorn nodded understanding as he put his leaves safely away in his locket around his neck. "Forgive my boldness, my King." He replied.

Drawn from his thoughts, he focused on Thorn once again. " Don't make it a habit and you'll do well." Racine called over his shoulder as he headed for Enoch and the others.

 

[StarrNico]

When Anna hung up, she felt a little better, though she was still angry and sad, at least she knew something was being done to get father out of there, something that wouldn't involve Auralius giving up her life. Father would never forgive them if they went that route. After waiting a moment, she dialed Jackie's house. It was up to her to contact the witch for help again.
~~~
"You make me happy with each day that passes, though they have been few, they have meant more than the years before" Star said gently and smiled at him again. Her words were simple, but heartfelt and that showed through easily
~~~
Kyra chuckled and blushed at his reaction to her kiss. She nodded and looked towards their home "Yes, let's go home again" She replied happily then reached to take his hand so they could walk side by side to the tree once more.
~~~
Ember smiled, a light blush staining her cheeks as she glanced to him, though she couldn't return the favor at the moment both because of their supper and Bob in her shirt. She was very happy to just be here in calmness with them both.
*Ring*
~~~
Skylar smiled at him then leaned a bit closer to talk softly "I may be a wolf, but gatherings always find me in the background, not the forefront. I am not Alpha material, but if you want to talk to anyone, you can." She said, hoping she wasn't making him stay back, though his body language claimed him as shy as her, if not more so.

"I have to ask, do you mind a local anesthetic to numb the area. We don't like to do any surgery without them, but if you hate needles we can" Shane said, changing the way he asked because of Jaxon's reaction before.

Aurora watched them all, though she often looked to Pyro also. It wasn't just because he was a fire dragon or that he was under a minion spell, though those were both part of the reason, and the reason she wished she had studied fey magic more when she had had the chance.It had been a long time since she had seen a strong male dragon, not since her last mate had been killed and she had hidden herself and Estelle away from the world.

Elle was watching Omen curiously, though Estelle was watching everyone and learning about group meetings in the process. Someday she would be a real queen and she would have to lead things like this herself.

Zypher pulled his eyes from the screen to make some more notes. But he was aware of what Anna was doing.
~~~
"Your sentiment is mutual. For I have seem many years. But I've only known true happiness with meeting you." Falkirk reported truthfully. He looked to her lips longingly.
~~~
Graydon grinned as he walked beside Kyra. "You know, it makes me wonder... what may of happen with the other forest, if the inhabitants fought for it." He speculated.
~~~
At the sound of the phone ringing, Cadeon went to get it, but saw Orson was closer. So he returned to the kitchen to help Ember.
~
Orson had a spell book in one hand as he answered. "Jackie's residence. How can I direct your call?" He asked formally.
~~~
Jaxon shook his head negatively. "No, I wish to remain where I am. If it doesn't offend you, Skylar?" He asked hopefully.

Pyro thought a moment then shrugged, "However you do these things is fine with me. I have no preference, other than the end result." He replied honestly.

Omen's eyes opened and he looked around self-contained. He glanced over at Elle and made a goofy face to get a rise out of her.

 

[StarrNico]

Star smiled again then moved to kiss his kips. She loved that they were having similar thoughts so often, yet different ones at times to.
~~~~
Kyra frowned in thought at that. "That forest's battles have been being fought longer and are still being fought even now. It isn't over yet there." She informed sadly. "The forest itself is gone, but the creatures of it still fight,." they are just mostly shifters and not normal animals."
~~~
Ember glanced over to the phone, glad that another had answered, since she was busy.

"Orson? It's Anna is Jackie there? We need her help with a fey minion spell" Anna said, recognizing his voice. She smiled at his formal answer, at least it cheered her a little
~~~
"No, it doesn't offend me" Skylar said and smiled, then looked around the room "I can tell you who is who, mostly" She said then started to name the various wolves she knew there and the others that came in or poked a head in then went back outside to wait.

Shane smiled and nodded "Alright, then a numbing it is." He said and got the needle to numb the area for the small surgery. Not that it was hard to get the little pill shaped tracker out or to close the tiny cut, he just didn't like causing unnecessary pain.

Elle giggled and returned his funny face with one of her own cheerfully.She was glad to play a little in the tense atmosphere.
