*Hidden Nature* A Shapeshifting RP

[NickyKnack]

Ember chuckled softly and hugged him again. "You always know what to say to make me feel better" She said softly
~~~

Rana smiled and nodded "That's true, gravity can be playful." She said then shrugged "But that is the way of things in life, otherwise we would all float"

~~~
"No, we are not from that one young one" Kellan said, stepping closer to her and kneeling to touch her face "I am Kellan from Anstropfia." He said as he scanned her for any spells "And you have a self destructing spell on you. I can remove it, if you like?"
~~~

"Oh, well that's nice. Much better than to get out of bed" Aaran said with a chuckle as he looked to her and purred softly
~~
"Falkirk" Starr said and looked at him then shook her head "I can't think of a nickname that would fit you, you are perfect with your given name."
~~~

Sorcha took her own cup to sip the tea as she watched and listened to the proceedings. She took note of the ones who entered and how they looked as they did. 
~~~
Shaylee gasped and moved Danika behind her to try to protect the young unicorn. "Great, a welcoming party" She said and growled at the gargoyles, using her magic to try to force them back

Cadeon chuckled lightly, "That's because laughing is the best medicine. So what's your favorite room in your home?" He asked curiously.
~~~
Sandor out right laughed, "Speak for yourself, I don't float either. " He said with levity.
~~~
Lexi sniffle as she wiped her eyes and nose. She looked up into Kellan's eyes with wonder as she nodded. "Yes, please. I don't want to die that way." She said softly.
~~~
Elina smiled blissfully as Aaran purred to her. "What would you like? " She asked before she became distracted completely.
~~~
Falkirk smiled happily and kissed her tenderly. "You are so beautiful in every way, my love. You are perfect in every way to me as well." He whispered lovingly.
~~~
Avalon listened to grievances and evidence. She then ruled accordingly by finding ways of restitution and settlements that were fair to both. On certain cases, she'd ask Sorcha her opinion and to offer possible solutions.
~~~
Pariah hissed at Shaylee's statement. "What has you in this realm, let alone this void?!" She said with venom.

Pariah hissed at Shaylee's statement. "What has you in this realm, let alone this void?!" She said with venom.

Ember glanced around, thinking about that a moment. She smiled and took his hand, leading him to her library. She had many books, enough to fill several stories of shelves. Each level had places to sit and read with a lantern a safe distance from the bookshelves and ladders that were connected to the shelves so she could get whichever one she wanted. "My library is the biggest room besides my burning room, and they are as far apart as the mountain allowed."
~~~
Rana laughed also and nodded "Would you like to see more of this place, or do you want to stay where you can see the sky and woods?"
~~~
Kellan nodded and started trying to remove the spell from her so that she could be free to choose her life's course.
~~~
"Mhm, I don't suppose you have bacon and eggs here?" Aaron asked then shrugged "If not then something with a lot of meat to it. I don't mind trying new foods"
~~
Star smiled and held him closer. She loved that about him too, he always spoke so highly of her. She raised her head to kiss him again.
~~~
Sorcha would give her opinions and solutions when asked. She tried to be fair and honest with whatever problems were presented before them though most were fairly simple to solve to begin with.
~~~
Shaylee frowned at her then shook her head and tried to open a portal to get Danika out of there. She couldn't fight Pariah and her gargoyles alone and keep Danika safe. She wasn't going to stay to find out if she could even fight her alone and she wasn't going to answer questions either. All she had to do was get a portal open and not be stopped

 

[StarrNico]

The wolves nodded and set up to play the next round together under Jahab's instructions.

"Oh, thank you. I really appreciate that." Carrow said as Cole walked down the fruit stands. He was so thoughtful and kind. She got a good variety of fruits. Since foxes and humans alike, were omnivores.

( Oh, okay. Carrow and Cole are still shopping inside the store. FYI.

)

Carrow turned around and looked to Willow. "What? Oh, no! That's terrible. We have to find her and soon."

Cadeon up and around the vast room. "How long did it take to build this?!" He said with amazement. He walked in a circle to take it all in. "Absolutely exquisite!" He exclaimed.
~~~
Sandor looked to Rana in disbelief. "You mean there's more? Yes, I'd like to see more, I was just giving those two some privacy. I've been a third wheel to them for the past few hours. " He replied honestly.
~~~
Lexi's eyes sought out Ian, but was reluctant to meet his eyes. She then focused on Kallen as he spoke a strange language.
~~~
Elina chuckled softly and said, "I can get our equivalent to that, with a few new foods." She then send in their request. "Done!" She said happily, as she ran her fingers through Aaran's thick hair.
~~~
Falkirk twirled deeply as he tightened his hold upon Star slightly. "We should probably get ready for the day, my love. It's Jackdaw's rite fight today. " He replied mentally to her.
~~~
When the last case was settled, Avalon looked to Sorcha and sighed when they were once again alone. "They are like over grown young. Squabbling over the slightest thing." She said quietly, as she sipped the last of her tea.
~~~
Seeing that Shaylee was obviously protecting the young girl, she had to get them separated. She couldn't risk her opening a portal and leaving. Pariah spoke her orders in the gargoyle tounge. That way they kept their element of surprise. Two gargoyles seized Danika quickly and flew a short distance away. Pariah laughed merrily at their success. "You don't mind if we keep your little friend, now do you? It is customary to exchange gifts after so long apart. Besides, we have unfinished business, you and I. I will get you all for what you did to me! " She said darkly as the gargoyles moved out of Pariah's way as she stepped forward to face Shaylee.

Ember shrugged and looked around the room "Not too long, it helps to have fire to use, also that's why there is a hole down the center where the steps are." She said then smiled "I think it was a day per level for the major part then the shelves took about a week per level? Something like that. Lower flame so slower work, in addition to making it level with a chisel."
~~~
Rana chuckled and nodded "You didn't even go in the kitchen, or see her cold storage or the fire room...or the library though they may have gone there by now."
~~~
Ian stayed close to her as he watched Kellan work. He was distracted by Jason though so he had to give a version of how he had found her, though the spell prevented him from saying he had left the barrier.

Kellan was soon finished, though he didn't hear Ian's speech and it didn't register that any magic was used other than his own.
~~~
Aaran purred again, holding her close. He was enjoying this and hoped they wouldn't have any duties too soon.
~~~
Starr sighed softly then nodded and reluctantly pulled away from him to get up and dressed for the day ahead. She couldn't miss the right fight, since it was partially her being here that had eventually brought it to this.
~~~
"That is one thing peace does, makes small things seem more important" Sorcha said gently then reached over to touch her arm, "After the fight, we should start to go over the laws and make a list of what needs to change, though we both know one that will have to change."
~~~
Danika screamed when she was grabbed and tried to get away, though the gargoyles had a good grip on her arms.

"Let her go, she's just a child" Shaylee said as she looked to Pariah "You deserved to be thrown in that place and forgotten and you will go right back to it again" She said and drew her sword "Let her go and we can fight this out now."

Cadeon was speechless as he turned to listen to Ember. He then looked back at the room with a new perspective. "You've done a beautiful job, Ember. You are truly remarkable. " He said when he finally found his voice.
~~~
Sandor looked to the direction Ember had taken the groceries. " That cold storage sounds fantastic, how did she managed that?" He asked curiously as he followed after Rana.
~~~
Lexi felt a thousand times better. The sharp pain in her mind was completely gone. She took Kallen's wrist and kissed it in gratitude. "Thank you Kallen from Anstropfia." She said through her sobs if happiness.
~~~
Elina sighed contentedly as she spent this time with her love. She was drawn out of her bliss by a soft knock on the door. "Breakfast is here." She said as she got up to get it. She didn't want the servant to bring it in. She opened the door and spoke quietly as she took the tray from the girl. She then shut the door with her back and smiled at her ice tiger. " Bon appetit! " She said, as she carried it to the bed.
~~~
Falkirk stood and said, "I'll come back to in a bit. Shall I send for Qdoba? " He asked as he walked to the door.
~~~
Avalon smiled and covered Sorcha's hand with her own. "You are very right and I would like that very much. Thank you for offering. " She said softly, with a hint of sadness.
~~~
Pariah flick her wist and manifested her own sword. "No, I think Markus will have fun with that one. In fact, he'd have fun with you. If I leave enough to bother with." She said with a snarl.

 

[Garjzla]

Xatia's eyes shot to Cicero with obvious disbelief. "Has he now? What else has he told you, I wonder? " She asked quietly.

Cicero diverted his eyes at Xatia's question.

"Cicero has not told me much about Anstrophia besides what the place is like visually, really, if that's what you mean." Islanzadi replied. "Is he not supposed to tell me about the other realm? It really was my fault after all, I asked about it."

 

[NickyKnack]

"Cicero has not told me much about Anstrophia besides what the place is like visually, really, if that's what you mean." Islanzadi replied. "Is he not supposed to tell me about the other realm? It really was my fault after all, I asked about it."

Xatia looked to Islanzadi and smiled graciously. "It is more for cautionary measures. Sylphs don't have magic to decipher friends, from foe or see through glamors. We have grave threats to us here and we must be careful. Had you not been, who you said you were. It could've been dangerous for us. I hope you'll take no offense, Princess Islanzadi. I fear for my people, as I'm sure you do for yours, in these perilous times." She explained worriedly.

Cicero felt terrible, Xatia was right. He'd been careless and rash. All because he'd been swayed by her kindness and beauty. "It is my falt, not hers. I offered the information freely." He said in her defense.

Xatia turned to Cicero and looked at him a long moment while she searched his mind. She looked to Islanzadi with a new assignment at what she'd found there. "There's no harm here. So no need to apologize. Just be more careful next time. " She said softly.

Ember blushed and looked away at that. "The master craftsmen taught me to work the stone though they didn't think a female could handle it. It is a lost art."
~~~
Rana shrugged and started that way to show him "I do not know, she cannot take the cold like that for long, though to most she wouldn't show that weakness."
~~~
Kellan smiled and gently patted her head "It is alright young one, I freely offered my help with removing such things." He said and looked her over again, making sure there were no other spells on her.
~~~
Aaron sighed quietly and covered himself with the blanket so he couldn't be seen while she went to the door. Not that there was anything going on besides enjoying the company of eachother, but appearances did need to be kept he supposed. Once the door shut he got up and straightened his clothes then went to sit with her at the table.
~~~
Star sighed softly at the parting and nodded "Yes, does this outfit look alright? I am still getting used to the clothing here." She asked, not really wanting him to leave just yet.
~~~
Sorcha smiled gently and nodded "Anything I can do to help Avalon, just ask and I will do my best" She said "Either with this official stuff, or with anything else"
~~~
Shaylee growled again and moved, charging Pariah in hopes of taking her off guard at the sudden move. She couldn't leave Danika in the hands of that man or this demon. She had to try to get her free.

Danika struggled to get free of the pair that held her, her unicorn wanting to take over and flee the danger.

"I definitely do not take offense to that, I understand entirely. You just want to protect your kingdom, like anyone with royal blood should." Islanzadi told Xatia truthfully. She still felt rather guilty for asking Cicero about Anstrophia when she now knew he wasn't supposed to say anything about it.
