*Hidden Nature* A Shapeshifting RP

[NickyKnack]

Anna chuckled and led the way in the cave. She wouldn't go far without him. She stopped when they reached the chamber and looked around at the relativly plain room.
~~~
Fay chuckled and nodded, staying silent so Garmr could adjust to this oddness. She sipped her tea and waited quietly.
~~~
Sorcha smiled at Castiel and dipped her head. "Greetings Castiel, you look all spiffy today." She said then smiled at Racine again. "This will be interesting. "
~~~
Bardou chuckled and bowed with a flair. "I am glad to be here with you now, your highness." He was glad that she was being playful again, even if only for a moment.
~~~
Star smiled and looked to the three again. "I rather like the thought of taking all three of them if they want to come."

The three looked to one another then chuckled and nodded. "That would be fun." Byron said for them.
~~~
Shaylee cried out at that and fell into the rising water around them. She was still conscious, but down for the moment.

Zypher shined the flashlight around the chamber as he looked. "So, what was this room used for?" He asked quietly. He noted the scarce furnishings.
~~~
Gammr looked to Fey and asked spontaneously, "Are you from the same Pantheon as Artemis?" She sipped her tea as she awaited Fey's reply.
~~~
Castiel glanced up to meet Sorcha's eyes and said with a genuine smile, "Just a bit, my queen. I scrub up pretty good when I want to." He teased her.

Racine chuckled and motioned for him to gain his feet again. "Stop flirting with my wife, you rascal. So I suppose Enoch sent you to lie in wait for us." He said with lighthearted humor.

"Guilty as charged, but you can't blame a guy for trying. You've managed to charm the rarest of gems in all of Anstropfia. Give a Sylph a crumb of hope at personal happiness. " Castiel said with easy camaraderie.

Racine just shook his head and moved down the pathway so he could open the portal to their half of Anstropfia. " You'll find yourself bald of feathers. Just remember that, Castiel. And you thought it was bad when Axel cut your wings. Keep it up." He said with immense satisfaction. He made a point to grin at Sorcha to show it was all in jest.
~~~
Avalon smiled happily and asked, "Tell me Prince Bardou, what is customarily served at an earth union celebration? I'd like to offer that among the feast."
~~~
" Splendid! The more, the merrier." Falkirk said with enthusiasm as he clapped his hands slightly.
~~~
Markus ran to the desk to call for men to cut the water off for his level so repairs could be done. His eyes were still upon Shaylee as Pariah stood over her. Shifted into her Demos form to use her sleep venom is she had too. Markus also made arrangements for Shaylee's new holding cell. After see what she'd done, he knew fixing that one up wasn't an option.

"This was the room the people would come to to talk to the gods, sometimes they would bring food or something for an offering." Anna said with a smile after she shifted back to human form. She touched a shelf, one of many on the walls. "There used to be statues here of each of the gods and goddesses, of course this was all aboveground back then too."
~~~
Fay nodded and smiled. "Yes, though I am not as well known as the main gods. I am a minor goddess and work with Eos."
~~~
Sorcha chuckled and followed him to the portal. She understood that they were joking with one another, it had been in his mind and they were still connected to one another. "He might make that look good too." She teased too.
~~~
Bardou told her the things he had seen as choices back when he had been awake enough to know.
~~~
"I'll go ask and make sure it is alright. "Amelia said excitedly before running off quickly. Byron laughed softly then looked to Cora again. The shyer girl was smiling happily at the compromise.
~~~
Shaylee just lay still, breathing for a moment before gathering her strength and using the water to create a current to knock them off their feet. That only took a few inches of water anyway.

 

[Run Wild]

"I will." Aurienne said quietly, looking to Kyth as he left.

 

[NickyKnack]

"I will." Aurienne said quietly, looking to Kyth as he left.

Kyth smiled reassuringly to Aurienne and said, "You were very brave. You did a good job with that and this whole strange situation." He said truthfully.

 

[NickyKnack]

(Thanks for understanding!)
"Eh. We can if you want, but all they talk about it serious stuff. If you can't relax while you eat, when can you relax?" She strolled along beside him. "They can be a bit scary. Don't you think?"
~~~
Kristen laughed,"To me, it was just a crappy desk job where I got to interact with a cranky lab rat. It got better later on. Your presence changed me...if you know what I mean." She struggled for words to describe it,"Like even though you were a brat, somehow you made my day just a little bit better."

Nashton chuckled and leaned his head on the top of her shoulder as they walked and said, "But, but I like our private dinners. There far less politics and strategies discussed."
~~~
Orson smiled fondly at their shared history. "Yes, there were may times I tried to escape and you just wouldn't let me. Just as I hurt others in my endeavors to gain my freedom and I secretly would never hurt you in any way." He replied mentally to her.

Zypher listened intrigued by every word that Anna told him. "A temple for the gods? How very fascinating." He murmured respectfully, as he took in the barren room with new appreciation. "Why did they move the statues? Were humans raiding them?" He asked curiously.
~~~
Gammr tipped her head at the unfamiliar name. "Eos? May I ask who that is?" She asked tentatively.
~~~
"My darling mate, there's a fair amount of truth to that statement. But if his head gets any bigger, he won't be able to fly without doing somersaults mid-air." Racine whispered loudly as they stepped through to his tent. He looked around in shocked surprise as the sight registered. It was elaborately decked out with all the amenities of an actual home. His Lords had been busy indeed. It wasn't often he was struck speechless, but it had happened often of late.

Castiel smiled knowingly as he stepped through and moved to the door. "I'll give you both some time to recover, queen Sorcha, king Racine. " He said with a bow to each and he left through an actual door.
~~~
"Oh! Those are wonderful! Do you think the cooks will have time to make such delectable foods?" Avalon asked with a renewed excitement. She was glad to have something to occupy her mind with. It vastly helped to ground her in the now.
~~~
Falkirk was glad for the girl's foresight of seeking permission first. It was a delicate matter of a queen's hospitality and should never be taken for granted. He glanced to the two remaining escorts and asked conversationally, "Where should where start, if we're permitted to go as a group?"
~~~
Markus had only long enough to notice the water flow slow to a stop from the pipes in the wall, before he found himself on the flat of his back and water crashing over top of him. He quickly held his breath. Ad he surfaced, he looked over and saw the same thing had happened to Pariah.

Pariah's snake crown thrashed out in blind strikes, as she shifted to fight the unexpected current that washed her across the room away from Shaylee.

Pariah's snake crown thrashed out in blind strikes, as she shifted to fight the unexpected current that washed her across the room away from Shaylee.

Anna shook her head then shrugged "The statues were gone when we came here, though the first to live here knew what it was for from the structure itself and the carvings" She said and walked over to one of the walls to touch the faint carving there. It looked a little like waves in that niche.
~~~
Fay smiled at that question and looked up to the sky "Eos is the goddess of the dawn. The humans wrote about her in a famous book called the Iliad and in the Odyssey." She giggled a little at that one "I am in the Odyssey with her." She sat up a little straighter and took on a teacher-like tone then. "Eos is the daughter of Hyperion, a bringer of light, the One Above, Who Travels High Above the Earth and of Theia, The Divine. Her brother is the Sun god Helios, and her sister is Selene, the Moon goddess. Her team of horses pull her chariot across the sky and are named in the Odyssey as Firebright and Daybright -that is me and my friend. When the greeks came they gave Apollo praise for her job, though the humans kept us as the horses that draw the chariot." She paused then shrugged a little "Eos is a Titan"
~~~
Sorcha giggled softly then looked around the tent/home also. She smiled again and looked to her husband, letting him have a moment to recover from the shock. "They have done well"
~~~
Bardou nodded then chuckled "Some of them, others would take days to prepare correctly." He said then tilted his head a little "Though I should go and talk to the cooks now if we want any of them for tonight." He added
~~~
Byron started listing off places they knew that had names but stopped when Cora spoke up in her soft voice "We should go to Prism Falls" "Oh, yeah, that is one of the prettiest places around" Byron agreed, grinning at Cora as the girl took a step back shyly
~~~
Shaylee put her face in the water to help herself wake more before sitting up and looking to the pair. She was already getting tired again, even with the energy she had taken from Pariah. She reached over to pick up the horn from where it had fallen and looked down at it in thought before standing and pointing to the water. She cleared the area around herself and the door then used the horn to freeze what remained of the water into a solid chunk. She then turned for the door to go and find Danika and return her horn.

Kyth smiled reassuringly to Aurienne and said, "You were very brave. You did a good job with that and this whole strange situation." He said truthfully.

"Thank you." Aurienne smiled softly, glad he thought so since she didn't see it that way.

Zypher followed Anna over and looked closely at the wave like carvings there. Seeing that she'd touched them, he ventured to do so also. "Fascinating. " He replied softly.
~~~
Gammr listened intrigued by the different gods. They weren't of Norse mythology and was very new to her. "That's wondrous indeed." She said simply.
~~~
"Yes, almost too well." Racine remarked with appreciation. He was relieved as well. If he was honest with himself, he'd been worried about Sorcha's reaction to his living quarters. "They have dwellings on earth such as these. With their various talents, they have made us a real home." He replied with heartfelt gratitude for their efforts. He smiled warmly to his wife and twirled softly fir her.
~~~
"Oh! Yes, by all means and once again, thank you for your assistance today, Prince Bardou." Avalon said with appreciation.
~~~
Falkirk looked to Star wide-eyed and asked, "Prism Falls sounds like a lovely place to visit, don't you think? "
~~~
Markus struggled in the ice that formed around him like concert. He watched as Shaylee walked leisurely to the door. He then searched to find Pariah in very much the same predicament as him. He knew men were on their way to work on repairing the pipes, so he wasn't too worried about hypothermia.

"This would have been either Poseidon or Okeanos, depending on if they were using Greek or Roman gods, something I am uncertain of." Anna explained "Either way, this spot would have been for the god of water."
~~~
Fay smiled again and nodded then looked to Garmr and tilted her head "Do you know of the main gods and their Roman counterparts?" Humans gave them each names and stories, some are true and some are very exaggerated."
~~~
Sorcha looked to Racine and twirled gently, happy to have this tent home and to be with him. "Should we go and thank them, or wait until morning?" She asked softly, willing to do either way.
~~~
Bardou flashed her another smile then bowed before looking at her and tilting his head "I wonder, your majesty. Would you care to try your hand at making something? If you have other things to do or do not wish to I will understand that." He added quickly after the question. "Making these dishes is half the fun of them."
~~~
Star smiled and nodded happily "Yes, it does sound lovely, I would like to see this place first."

Amelia came running back, sliding to a stop in front of them with a grin "We can all go, at least today. After that we have to take turns. Where are we going? Blueberry fields, the hanging gardens, Prism Falls, Spiderskis, Grungebatte Lake, Snitchpit Mountain, Pearlalon?" She looked to Bryan and stopped at the look he gave her, finally waiting for an answer.

"Prism Falls is first." Bryan said once Amelia was quiet. He chuckled at her squee of happiness then shook his head as the tall girl hurried to the doors. "Well, she's ready" He said then looked to Star and Falkirk to see if they were.
~~~
Shaylee looked at the halls as she walked, searching with the horn to find the one who it came from, a locator spell. The spell was weak, giving her only a basic direction to go in right now. There was just so much iron interference here
