*Hidden Nature* A Shapeshifting RP

[NickyKnack]

Ember chuckled softly at that "I rather like the thought of calling the realm she made Moonhaven. It's rather fitting." She said thoughtfully. "It is rather odd that she was that tired out if she only copied her home and lands though, she did have those energy gems to draw from."
~~~
Kellan smiled and leaned over to hold his hand for Bob to get on it then lifted him up to sit with him "So long as you do not try to set me on fire little one" He answered somewhat jokingly. "My lion side and my bird side do not like fire." 
~~~
"It is an odd custom, but look, the parents are allowing their children to be painted like this, so it must be a safe enough paint." Shaylee said then shrugged, moving so she could watch better, ending up in a conversation with the artist then getting a butterfly painted onto her hand to show her. 
~~~

"I have no pressing matters at this time" Fay said and smiled gently then dipped her head and turned to go. "This way." 

Cadeon nodded and said thoughtfully, "You're right, that is a more fitting name or even Safehaven." He then got a concerned look on his face and stated, " I didn't realize it wasn't normal for Jackie to be so tired. I figured it was because she'd been through so much here lately and hadn't had time to recover. What do you think it means?"
~~~
Bob walk carefully as he looked down at himself alarmed. " You mean me? I can set you on fire?" He asked, growing a little bit scared of himself. But the last of what Kallen had said registered in his mind, "Wait! A lion and a bird? That's sounds weird and cool at the same time!" He said excitedly as he flapped his wings slightly.

"Remember your manners, Bob. Prince Kallen is our guest and that word was rude." Zypher said disapprovingly.

Bob looked to Zypher as he puffed up his cheek feathers with embarrassment. After a moment he looked to Kallen, before settling on his toes. "I sorry. I no meant to be rude, Mr. Prince Kallen. I would like you to forget I say that. Please? " Bob said with regret.
~~~
Xatia and Cicero gathered around to watch the artist paint the butterfly. "Oh, you are really talented." Xatia complemented. Cicero looked at the panel of all the various examples and designs of what the artist could do. He ran is fingers along a few he thought were exceptionally beautiful.
~~~
Vasper hurried to follow Fey. "You are a blessing, thanks again." He said with relif, as she guided the course to his journey. He looked to Jahab as he walked with him, before looking ahead again.

(Flock Master64, if you've lost interest in this rp, just say so. There's no sense dragging your character around if you're not coming back. )

Ember shrugged a little and frowned "It means she needs a proper rest, possibly that her magic is being used more than she realizes or simply that someone is trying to contact her and she hasn't realized it yet. I do not know, witches are strange beings in the first place, add in the soul bond and the fey element and it makes her quite a unique being. Not to mention Bertram." She shook her head then touched the protection pendants they had been given "These alone are draining to a normal witch, and she has made many in just a short time."
~~~
Kellan chuckled softly and reached over to pet the young bird "Ask your mother about your fire, that is information only phoenix and the fire god know well enough to explain. I was simply joking a little. Usually you cannot set fire without meaning to or when you get angry I believe." He said then glanced over to Zypher then back to Bob "Yes, my other form is called a manticore. I have a lion body, bird wings and a scorpion tail. I am quite aware of how odd the mixture is, but that is what I was born to be, so it does not bother me." He said kindly
~~~
Shaylee looked at the butterfly and smiled "Yes, you are very talented." She said then glanced to Cicero and chuckled "Do you want one as well Cicero? She says they can be washed off with soap and water, so they are temporary."
~~~
Fay chuckled softly and looked to him again "Blessings are nice to do. Reuniting lost family is something I always watch, at least when my duties allow" She said and glanced upwards to check on the sun then ahead again as they walked to the Guardian's pack.

Cadeon was fascinated the prospect of someone trying to communicate with Jackie. He wondered who it could be, if that was the case. But the felt guilty that the protection pendants alone were such a burden to their friend. "I wish there was some way we could make it up to Jackie for all she has done for us. " He said with sincerity.

The driver turned off the freeway to get to the Walmart on the south side of the city.
~~~
Bob made a soft sound as Kallen petted him. He then looked up to him as he listened quietly, taking it all in. "Wow! A Manticore sounds amazing!" Bob said with enthusiasm.

Zypher was glad, Kallen hadn't been offended. He had a lot to learn himself about the fey and he didn't want any hard feelings between any of them.
~~~
Cicero turned to look at Shaylee wide-eyed, almost as if he'd been caught doing something wrong. He then blushed slightly as he returned to their group. He'd been admiring a winged female painting in the corner. "No, thank you. I think the butterfly flatters your beauty perfectly. Such adornments would be wasted upon me." He said politely.

Xatia smiled knowingly at Cicero and moved to look at the painting curiously.
~~~
Vasper smiled and walked along with her. He fill her in on how his parents and sister was separated in the first place and what his sister was like.
(If you want, I can cut and paste it? )

Ember sighed softly then shrugged. "We can think of something." She said then waited for them to park so she could get out to go inside and look around.
~~
Kellan chuckled, enjoying the young phoenix. "Yes, it takes some getting used to, but it is a good mix." He glanced to Zypher and smiled. "The young are allowed many leniencies that elders do not get." He said, answering the loud thoughts of the hyena.
~~~
Shaylee smiled and looked to the butterfly again. "It is pretty, I likeit." She said happily then looked around again. "Well, if neither of you want any of these, then let us go and see what else is here."
~~~
Fay listened to hisstory curiously as they walked along. "That is an interesting story. Well, we are sure to find out if not that she is here then where she is." She said then motioned to one side. "There is a wolf now."

Cadeon nodded as Sandor parked and they they got out of the car. " It's Wally World!" He said with humor.
~~~
Zypher smiled as he dipped his head in respect. "That is also true in this realm. From the mouth of babe's. " He said witha smile

Bob giggled softly and snuggled into Kallen's hand.
~~~
Xatia was enjoying their time out among the humans. "Yes, let's continue this adventure. Thank you for sharing your talent with the everyone." She said happily.

Cicero grinned and stepped over to Shaylee and bowed. Emboldened by the atmosphere, he asked, "My lady, my I have the honor is escorting you?"
~~~
Vasper stepped over and looked to where she had indicated curiously. "How should we greet the wolf? " He whispered softly.

Ember chuckled and looked to him "What?" She asked, wondering what he meant by that and why he would call Walmart that odd name.
~~~
Kellan smiled and looked back down to Bob happily "He is a rare sight in Astrophia. Much of our fauna and flora was lost during the war. Too many evil spells were used at that time. It is finally time to start recovering now that there is no threat of war." He said softly, making his hand into a tiny cave around Bob since it seemed he would take a nap again.
~~~
Shaylee smiled at Xatia then looked to Cicero and held out her hand to him "Certainly." She said then added privately "Though we are out as friends at this moment, not as royal and sylph." She smiled and took his arm so they could walk together and discover the world as it was now. "There is the alcohol tent, that never changes. Oh, look, what is a petting zoo?"
~~~
Fay giggled and looked to him then back to the wolf and waved to the dark form "Are you a Guardian friend wolf?" She called out, moving closer.

The black and grey wolf stepped out and dipped his head, glancing to the males then back to Fay before shifting "I am Wayne, one of the guardians. Who are you three?"

"I am Phaethon, though most these days call me Fay" She replied and shook her head, coming over to help him stand when he knelt "Please, I do not rest on formalities. This is Vasper, he is looking for his sister, Keira."

"The maned wolf, yes, she has made quite the impression on the pack." Wayne said, looking over to Vasper "Got herself the position of guarding the new Alpha. Come, this way to the dens." He said, motioning them to follow then shifting back to his wolf to lead the way with Fay

( That's what my mother used to call it. Lol! )
Cadeon chuckled and smiled softly, " It's a family joke. Sam Walton= Wally and World because it's kinda like it's own world. Plus they are popping up all over the world. " He tried to explain it. He shrugged and offered his hand as they walked.
~~~
Zypher nodded slightly in sympathy. "War takes many casualties. It still sickens me to see the stumps left after they destroyed the magic forest of Moonhaven. I can only imagine you people's loss. " He said softly.

The others listened quietly.

Bob did indeed ease into sleep. The warmth and comfortable position providing too much to fight.
~~~
Cicero nodded politely to her words and walked with Shaylee. He looked to the petting zoo tent with curiosity.

"I don't know, but it sounds and smells intriguing. " Xatia said with enthusiasm.
~~~
Vasper's jaw dropped at his little sis accomplishment. He couldn't believe it. But eagerly followed after the wolf.

(I know, lol)
Ember nodded as he explained it to her. She glanced up to the sign then walked inside with him, glad for the ac inside. "Alright, bag first then we can get groceries. Unless you want to look around for other things?"
~~~
Kellen nodded and smiled at the little phoenix then looked to Zypher again "Yes, there are too many losses to war, but a child like this can make it seem worthwhile to have peace once more." He said then glanced around the room "I take it the humans have all forgotten the legends of Moonhaven to have attacked such a place of magic."
~~~
Shaylee smiled at their interest, going over to 'accidentally' touch one of the adults arms and glean what information she could from him then share it with the others. "Interesting." She murmured then picked up one of the cups of food before venturing inside to pet the animals there.
~~~
It wouldn't take them long to reach the dens, Wayne calling for Keira as he came in.

( XD Oh, sorry. )
Sandor got a cart and followed Ember and Cadeon.

Cadeon smiled and said, "That's sounds good. We can cruise around and looking at stuff. Maybe look act some clothes for Bob, just in case he grows into them."
~~~
Zypher sighed and said sadly, "The humans of this time are only concerned with money and power. There's money in wood and the city wants to grow out that way. We didn’t have enough warning to stop it."

Navar snorted and added bitterly, " Then for Markus, we become a way to make money."
~~~
Xatia chuckled as a goat nibbled the grain in her cup. She petted it beautiful horns. "So glad they made it this long." She said privately to the others.

Cicero looked at their strange eyes and smiled. "Wonderful animal. " He said.
~~~
Vasper looked around the den area excitedly. Keira, here! He thought happily.

Keira heard Wayne and headed towards the front of the den. But the sight that awaited her had her stopping in her tacks. "Vasper?! Oh, my goodness!" She said before running into his arms. "I thought I'd never see any of you again. " She half sobbed.

Vasper kissed the top of Keira's head. "So did I! Oh, I'm so happy to hear you're doing well. I'm so proud of you little sis." He replied as he held her tightly.

Vasper kissed the top of Keira's head. "So did I! Oh, I'm so happy to hear you're doing well. I'm so proud of you little sis." He replied as he held her tightly.

"If he can shift at all" Ember said with a bit of worry in her voice. She only hoped he could shift just to be like her in that way. It certainly made life easier to have a human form.
~~~~
Kellan sighed and shook his head lightly so as not to disturb Bob. "That is sad that the works has come to such a state of affairs. We are going to do what we can to rid the world of Pariah and Marcus, since they are bound now. Neither deserves mercy." He said quietly then sighed "As for the rest of the humans, it is time they learn to respect nature again.
~~~
Shaylee smiled at them then looked to the little piglet that came to her to be petted. Soon enough, she was surrounded by small animals and she was enjoying the attention from them.
~~~
Wayne stepped back, letting them have their moment and trying to leave to get back to his post to destroy cameras and keep guard.

Fay smiled, clapping a little since she was glad the family was reunited.She glanced around, making certain this area was blessed since the Guardians did so much for the forest and those in it.
