*Hidden Nature* A Shapeshifting RP

[StarrNico]

Lexi enjoyed the vivid description Ian had explained. But a flash of guilt gripped her heart at his words about the values she instilled in them both. She was a wretched creature. "She sounded very wonderful! Thank you for sharing her teachings with me." She said as she stood up suddenly. She hsd to escape these wonderful people. She was a cancer that would slow and surely kill them and everyone they loved.

"That I honestly don't know. We just need to keep our wits about us. I need to find out where this place is. " He explained as he looked around cautiously. "There! That we'll get us out of the open. " He pointed to a rock formation.
~~~
"But of course. Why didn't I think of that?" Jackdaw said with a chuckle.

Maxton glanced to him and said teasingly, "Because Sorcha is infinitely smarter than you."

"You wound me! How will my pride ever recover?" He asked dramatically.

"Oh, so you mean you had some left? " Maxton joked. Glad to have his childhood friend back.

Jackdaw burst of laughing, truly enjoying himself.
~~~
Bob quickly looked around to find something yellow. But found several things were yellow. But went with, "lemonade?"
~~~
"Then I'll stop distracting you then." Zypher said softly, before taking his own seat again.

Never sat on the arm of the couch to speak with Rana some more. "Fascinating. How did your species get their name?" He asked conversationally.

Cadeon leaned over and said, "I'm supposed to wait on you, you know. How can I pamper you, if you're too self-sufficient?" He wiggling his eyebrows at her for a goofy effect.

Ian caught her hand when she stood and looked up to her face. "Do you know the most important lesson we were taught? Forgiveness. Not only for others but for ourselves. Don't run away Lexi, please. I;ll let you go if you want to leave, but I ask that you stay"
~~~
Star took a breath then nodded again and glanced around as they started for the rock formation. She had to pause for a moment and glance down at her dress, trying to use the spell to change it to something easier to move in and lighter while going with a darker color.
~~~
Sorcha was trying not to laugh at their antics as they headed down the hallway and to the library.

Bardou wasn't, he was laughing along with Jackdaw and Maxton while they walked.
~~~
"Yes" Angela said with a chuckle then waited to see what he would spy next.
~~~
"But I like your distractions' Anna said softly and reached to hold his hand once he settled in place.

"Our eggs look like rocks, or I suppose that is how we were named. One other way is if we take a dustbath then just stay still, we look like rocks ourselves." Rana said then shrugged "Of course back then man didn't see Rocs very often anyway.

Ember laughed softly and looked up to him with a smile "But you do pamper me" She countered then reached for his hand to pull him closer "I like the way you treat me everyday."

 

[Garjzla]

Cicero chuckled softly and stated the obvious. "No, I've no need to ride anything when I have wings to fly anywhere I please. But I can glamor them away to ride if you wish."

Islanzadi thought about that for a moment. Few elves, if any at all, were noticing there was a fairy since he was just standing and acting normal. But if Cicero was flying, then many elves would probably be either alarmed or confused.
"I think it would be best to refrain from flying for now, until the Queen knows about your presence here so the word can get around, just to be on the safe side. Unless you'd prefer to fly." Islanzadi told him simply.

Ember laughed softly and looked up to him with  a smile "But you do pamper me" She countered then reached for his hand to pull him closer "I like the way you treat me everyday."

Lexi looked to Ian's handsomely trusting face and sobbed uncontrollably. "You can't forgive me. You don't even know the worst of me yet." She explained through her tears.
~~~
Falkirk followed her example and changed his clothing as well. " This was not how I expected this day to go." He said with a nervous chuckle.
~~~
Though the joked on the way to the library, once they were there, the seriousness of the situation overtook them. Maxton held the door for them all and then followed them in.
~~~
Bob made a happy sound and looked for his next find. "I spy with my little eye something purple! "
~~~
Zypher grinned widely and Anna's sexy voice. He brought her hand to his lips and kissed the back of her palm lovingly. "Temptress! " He teased.

Navar found that hilarious. "Not original thinkers back then, we're they." He said good naturedly.

"Then you are forgiven. Just this once." Cadeon said as he gently squeeze her hand affectionately. He then leaned over to kiss her sweetly, so not to embarrass her.

Cicero nodded understanding and touched the stone in his pocket and thought of the glamor Shaylee had given him. Just like that, his wings vanished. "Better? " He asked Islanzadi quietly. He then looked to the massive horse nervously.

"Yes, better." Islanzadi said and noticed that Cicero seemed rather nervous about the horse.

"Don't worry, Rauthr's pretty tame. He shouldn't mind having you on him too much. He has had two people on him before." She assured him. Though she didn't promise that the horse wouldn't panic, because with animals you never could promise certain reactions out of them.

Islanzadi mounted the horse and politely offered her hand to Cicero to help him get on.

Islanzadi mounted the horse and politely offered her hand to Cicero to help him get on.

Cicero smiled happily at her thoughtful gesture. He took her offered hand and used it to pull himself onto the horse behind her. He then tentatively wrapped his arms loosely around her waist.

(Stupid autocorrect)

"Then you are forgiven. Just this once." Cadeon said as he gently squeeze her hand affectionately. He then leaned over to kiss her sweetly, so not to embarrass her.

Ian stood then to bring her close in a hug "You gave me my memories back, I can forgive you Lexi" He said quietly just to her.
~~~
Star nodded and reached for his hand again, heading to hide in the rock formation "Me either' She said quietly then glanced around again "What are we going to do?"
~~~
Sorcha found the librarian and asked for all the books that might have a clue about Purvis in it to be brought over to the big table then went to find a seat there so they could start searching when the first books arrived.
~~~
"Purple?" Angela asked and looked around the room curiously "The flowers?" She asked uncertainly
~~~
Anna smiled and squeezed his hand then looked to the group again to distract herself "Now, we are all together, what is our plan and timeline?"

Rana chuckled and shook her head "Well, it was what they said when we or our eggs moved. They would point and say rock then run away" She said then focused on Anna and the meeting again

Ember returned the kiss softly and wished it could go on but Anna's voice cut through so she let Cadeon move away to try to focus on the now.

 

[Garjzla]

Cicero smiled happily at her thoughtful gesture. He took her offered hand and used it to pull himself onto the horse behind her. He then tentatively wrapped his arms loosely around her waist.

(Stupid autocorrect)

Once Cicero was on the horse and secure Islanzadi gently used her heel to nudge the horse as a cue to start walking.
The horse trotted for a short period of time, but then broke into a run and they soon arrived at the castle.

Islanzadi looked at the few guards who were at the entrance and dismounted the horse. She looked to Cicero, to see if he needed help getting off of the horse or not.

(Haha, did it get you?)

 

[Bantambird]

Reaper chuckled at their timid Nidhogg. "Yes, that is a fine name indeed. If by reputation alone, it helps her earn her was in the world, it will be glorious indeed." He replied honestly. Reaper then took the chunk of whale blubber in his claw and moved it around to simulate living prey, just to watch Valstrath's reaction. As expected, the wyrmling tore at it even harder.

Slygotha glanced at the motionless eggs still on the nest. There was still a chance they could be just slow to arrive, or they could have died. It was still too soon to rule them out. She looked to her five wyrmlings: Razeth, Gugol, Nevitha, Nidhogg, and Valstrath. They were all more than she could hope for. She laughed at Valstrath as he mock battled the meat, and little Nidhogg had fallen asleep against her mother's warm chest in a pile with the other two sticky black babes. Much of the stickiness was drying off and flaking away, revealing soft, newborn scales, shiny as polished obsidian.
"How fares Nevitha? Has she given in to sleep?"

 

[NickyKnack]

Ian stood then to bring her close in a hug "You gave me my memories back, I can forgive you Lexi" He said quietly just to her.

Ember returned the kiss softly and wished it could go on but Anna's voice cut through so she let Cadeon move away to try to focus on the now.

( Dang you StarrNico! )
Lexi shook her head and whispered in the hollow voice, "I let Pariah spell you and I looked you in the eyes while she did it. Then said nothing to the fey, once I was free to do so. That is the monster that I am. That is why you can't forgive me and why I don't deserve to be anywhere near you good people."
~~~
Falkirk sat down on a rock to think. "I must admit, I'm a bit out of my element here. Try and make a power orb. If we can defend ourselves, we'll have a better chance of survival, if the Balor are in fact hostel. " He reasoned.
~~~
Maxton opened his book and started skimming the information looking for the appropriate references.

As did Jackdaw. It saddened him as he came across the names of his parents and pack mates.
~~~
"Yep!" Bob said with enthusiasm. He fluttered his wings as he waited for Angela to find her item.
~~~
All attention turned to Anna at her authoritative voice.

Zypher stated, "The iron weapons are priority. How long will it take to fix the arrows ans smelt iron cap bullets? That's the the question.

Navar said, "and we don't know if the goddess is on our side yet. Who knows how long that will take."
