*Hidden Nature* A Shapeshifting RP

[Bantambird]

Ravek looked up from his selection at Kellan's voice. "Good morning to you as well." He said as he finished dishing up a small portion of food. He wasn't hungry, but for Shaylee and the battle soon to start, he needed to be strong. He'd not slept very well last night. The nightmares of what they were doing to his mate to strong to surpress.
Xatia also greeted Aurora, though privately, "I'm glad you're back safely Aurora. I hope all is well with your girls." She then looked to Asclepius and smiled pleasantly. "Hello again. Did you manage to conclude your earlier business?" She asked aloud.

Aeval stood to hurry over to Aurora and hug her with relief. "Thank goodness! I was so concerned about you." She said.

Asclepius opened his mouth, then closed it. Sadly the sweet Balor had intercepted the water dragon( a goddess among the sea dragons, he thought) so he turned his attention to the shimmering beauty next to him. "Xatia! So delighted to see you again! Yes, I finished covering for the other doctor so he could get a sabbatical. Humans have such short life spans, you know, and it is such a shame not to enjoy some of it. One should enjoy what life offers us occasionally! I am certainly going to enjoy working with you. Your irridecent scales could potentially blind the enemy with natural dragon beauty," purred Asclepius, waggling his eyebrows suggestively. He casually took a sip of water.

Aurora smiled and hugged Aeval back "They are fine. I am guessing the renewed forest is keeping our enemies busy, since I saw no signs of new cameras or them on the way." She informed and greeted Asclepius as well.


Kellan nodded and got his food, sitting to eat also. He knew that Ravek was worried, he would be too if he had a captured soul mate to worry about. He should have thought to put a dreamless sleep spell over him. 

Asclepius flashed a grin at Aurora and Aeval, commenting," I hope the opportunity arises where on the fields of glory, we can reveal our true forms in battle to the terror of the enemy, and the delight of my eyes. I would love nothing more than to watch your radiant loveliness cutting through the enemy like matchsticks."

Zypher sipped his coffee while Anna spoke. He chuckled softly and nodded quietly, abstaining from what he wanted to say.

Aurelius smiled softly and dipped her head to Anna in deferment before going about her task.

Navar came over and plopped down dramatically next to Anna. He looked to her and said, "Howdy Alphas! I'm not interrupting anything am I? "

"Yes, go away!" Zypher said teasingly, before resuming sipping his coffee. The wounded look Navar gave him only made him chuckle all the more.
~~~
Racine smiled warmly as the dance required them to briefly change partners for a few steps, before he came back to Sorcha. "You know my favorite time on earth was pretty civil war. They had the grandest balls. It made it feel almost like home." He reminisced privately with Sorcha.
~~~
Avalon hurried along and out the door. Her mind occupied partly in communicating with the Sylphs and other trusted fae about keeping it on a need to know basis. At least until they knew what they were up aginst. But they were to stay on high alert for anything suspicious. Spyro rushed back to them from down the hallway. He'd only stepped away to give them a certain amount of privacy. He bowed formally to them before he fell into step with them.
~~~
Keira saluted Jason with her fork, since her mouth was so crammed full. She was behind and was trying to finish quickly.

Luce took Jason's empty plate and put it in the water bin to soak. When she came back, she glanced to the Guardians as the readied themselves. "Don't forget your rocket launcher." She said to Jason with a small amount of humor.
~~~
Anton squeezed his temples with his urgency to remember accurately. "Perhaps. But I hate not knowing what's real and what's not. The loss of that certainty is unethical if you ask me. They simply root around in there without any remorse." He said as he pounded his fist on the side of his head.
~~~
Ender pulled back in surprise. His eyes widened as he asked, " Really?! I'd like that very much, but will your father let you take such a journey into fae territory? I wouldn't want him thinking I only came here to abduct or persuade you to that end."

Anna smiled to Aurelius before the other female left, taking a sip of her coffee then looking to Navar as he joined them. She reached over to touch Zypher's hand gently even as she shook her head "You are not interrupting Navar. Good morning." She said kindly
~~~
Sorcha smiled, seeing the images in his memory as he spoke of them. "I think I would have liked to see that time in the human world." She said privately. It certainly looked interesting before the memory faded away again. "Though I am more than glad you are home now."
~~~
Bardou paused at the door, safeguarding it with his magic before following the queen and Spyro onward. "Should we alert Racine and his generals?" He asked, hearing the music from the ballroom "They are more used to fighting." He was glad Star and Falkirk were not here now but in the Balor realm.
~~~
Jason chuckled softly "Don't rush too much, we won't leave without you Keira" He said then looked to Luce again and smiled "No, I won't forget my rocket launcher, it's my favorite one" He teased back. He stood then to go and get his weapons and armor on.
~~~
Shaylee reached over and touched his arm to make him not hurt himself "Anton, please. We can fix whatever they have done after we are free and I have my magic back strong enough to do so. For now, I would stick with the captured train of thought, since it fits facts of how your horn reacted to my magic." She said then shook her head "Even if the other were true and you were made, that would mean they created a real unicorn, which would be nearly impossible." She paused again and sighed "Either way, you are a real unicorn, your magic identifies you as such."
~~~
Foneth looked away a moment then straightened and nodded "I am a princess of the great dragons, I think it is time I knew more than just what books can say on the world outside. Besides, if it is safe to leave finally, then we should at least try, don't you think?" She was a bit uncertain, but she wanted to go. She frowned and glanced to her father's cave, wondering if she should ask now.

I would love nothing more than to watch your radiant loveliness cutting through the enemy like matchsticks."

Aurora chuckled softly at that and smiled at him "They know my dragon form, we have tangled with one another before." She said then shook her head "that place is not a good one to be in...oh, we should check on Xavier" She added, remembering the wizard. He needed to eat too if he was going to help them save his 'son' from Marcus.

 

[Bantambird]

Reaper heard his daughter cries and hurried to the water, urgency with every step. He was relieved that the humans hadn't killed Nidhogg. He hummed lowly in a frequency the humans couldn't hear.
~~~
Pariah however could hear it and sent Markus a heads up that another dragon was close by.

Markus watched as his teams headed out to recon and hunt the other black dragons. He then hurried onto the shelter of the warehouse once again. They had to make preparations before they were attacked. Mainly getting the wyrmling into the void to set the trap.

Nidhogg heard the latch lift, looking at heavily suited people coming in to retrieve her, she huddled against the furthest wall as they approached, then with them halfway across the cell, she unfurled her wings and her brightly colored crest stood up on her scull between her nubby horns. She growled dangerously, fear in her eyes. She could hear her father nearby, and his presence gave her hope. She wanted nothing more than to press against his hot sides. There is nothing more dangerous than a cornered terrified animal. Her haunches were like coiled springs, and she launched at the nearest person with claws extended and acid flying, hoping to get under the new skins to reach the soft melty insides.

Aurora smiled and hugged Aeval back "They are fine. I am guessing the renewed forest is keeping our enemies busy, since I saw no signs of new cameras or them on the way." She informed and greeted Asclepius as well.


Kellan nodded and got his food, sitting to eat also. He knew that Ravek was worried, he would be too if he had a captured soul mate to worry about. He should have thought to put a dreamless sleep spell over him. 

Maxton sat forward and whispered an incantation upon his glass of water, it shimmered to show a perfect view from across the room. "It could be because a gazing pool is virtually undetectable and definitely more cost effective than mechanical devices. Pariah will not know much of these modern trinkets. Just as most Fae tend to rely on what they know, I'd be surprised if she did." He replied honestly.
~
Ravek looked to Kellan and asked, "What if they have managed to turn her aginst me?" He then closed his eyes and voiced his deepest fear, " Or she has forgotten all of us to save us? I'd essentially be a stranger to her."

Asclepius opened his mouth, then closed it. Sadly the sweet Balor had intercepted the water dragon( a goddess among the sea dragons, he thought) so he turned his attention to the shimmering beauty next to him. "Xatia! So delighted to see you again! Yes, I finished covering for the other doctor so he could get a sabbatical. Humans have such short life spans, you know, and it is such a shame not to enjoy some of it. One should enjoy what life offers us occasionally! I am certainly going to enjoy working with you. Your irridecent scales could potentially blind the enemy with natural dragon beauty," purred Asclepius, waggling his eyebrows suggestively. He casually took a sip of water.

( I should have answered this first for sequencing. )
"That is true, humans life are finite. And you flatter me greatly, Asclepius." Xatia replied mentally to him.

 

[NickyKnack]

Asclepius flashed a grin at Aurora and Aeval, commenting," I hope the opportunity arises where on the fields of glory, we can reveal our true forms in battle to the terror of the enemy, and the delight of my eyes. I would love nothing more than to watch your radiant loveliness cutting through the enemy like matchsticks."

She said then shook her head "that place is not a good one to be in...oh, we should check on Xavier" She added, remembering the wizard. He needed to eat too if he was going to help them save his 'son' from Marcus.

Aeval smiled at the visual image that gave her as she moved to retake her seat. "Do you know where Jason took Xavier? " She asked curiously.

 

[NickyKnack]

Anna smiled to Aurelius before the other female left, taking a sip of her coffee then looking to Navar as he joined them. She reached over to touch Zypher's hand gently even as she shook her head "You are not interrupting Navar. Good morning." She said kindly

Sorcha smiled, seeing the images in his memory as he spoke of them. "I think I would have liked to see that time in the human world." She said privately. It certainly looked interesting before the memory faded away again. "Though I am more than glad you are home now."

Jason chuckled softly "Don't rush too much, we won't leave without you Keira" He said then looked to Luce again and smiled "No, I won't forget my rocket launcher, it's my favorite one" He teased back. He stood then to go and get his weapons and armor on.
~~~
Shaylee reached over and touched his arm to make him not hurt himself "Anton, please. We can fix whatever they have done after we are free and I have my magic back strong enough to do so. For now, I would stick with the captured train of thought, since it fits facts of how your horn reacted to my magic."

Besides, if it is safe to leave finally, then we should at least try, don't you think?" She was a bit uncertain, but she wanted to go. She frowned and glanced to her father's cave, wondering if she should ask now.

"Now see there! At least one of you has a kind heart. Good morning to you too, Anna." Navar said with enthusiasm.

"That's only because she doesn't know you fully, Navar." Zypher explained with humor, as he brought Anna's hand up to kiss it lovingly. "She's yet to know the drama king you are." He added with a wink.

"Lies I tell you! Lies! Don't for a moment believe him!" Navar said with a smile.
~~~
Racine smiled savoring the moment. "I assure you, no one is more grateful then myself on that front." He murmured softly. He then bowed to her as that particular dance ended. He offered his hand to guide her off the dance floor.
~~~
Avalon slowed in her steps at Bardou's suggestion. She nodded at that thought and said, "Yes, I keep forgetting I'm no longer alone. That I have an ally in all this." But her brother's mind was warded against her psychic bond, so she couldn't communicate privately with him. So, she'd have to go through her friend's mind instead. That is, if their bond still connected after her mate bonding. "Queen Sorcha, there has been a devastating development. Could I implore you and your mate's presence?" She asked privately and sent a visual of their location.
~~~
Luce smiled at his comment as she watched Jason leave to get ready, before bussing herself again.
~~~
"Thank you. I needed that. Sometimes uncertainty is our biggest foe. I'll try to do as you suggest. " Anton said with renewed optimism.
~~~
Ender dipped his head in respect and said, "Yes, but of course. It is very wise to not become so reliant upon the steadfastness of the dusty books of a bygone era. But only if you're certain, princess Foneth. "

(Nice! Thanks for helping. You can kill countless filler characters. The only real characters you need to be carefully with are Markus, Pariah and Storm. So have fun. I'm stalling a little waiting for Starr to make her team to help come after Slygotha and young. )
