*Hidden Nature* A Shapeshifting RP

[NickyKnack]

(Lol I remember that sound.)
Slygotha, although still distressed, was nonetheless very glad her mate had made his appearance. She was upset by the apparent appearance of a different dragon outside, its roar distinguished from that of one of her own. Her crest bristled. After depleting much of her magic reserves, this was the last thing she needed.

(Lol! She doesn't play well with others. I'm stalling a bit, if you haven't already noticed. I'm thinking of my next move. )

(Yeah, she's closer to your old fashioned greedy beast that liked to lord it over everything in her domain. She's trying to be a good mother, however! It's hard, when you are rather narssisistic.)

(I really like that she's that way. She balances him out in a way. Almost as if Reaper is significantly younger. Part based upon his temperament and actions. He's a mercenary mostly and a bit emotional where his family's concerned. )

"It couldn't hurt. That way as soon as we get word, we'll push forward. " Zypher voiced his opinion.

Ravek looked to Kallen, as did Maxton. They'd had an idea and watched to get his reaction to it as the shared it with him. "If we each take different floors in Menagerie. They wouldn't need the elevators and could effectively attack simultaneously." Ravek presented mentally.

Xatia turned as she listed in to the exchange.

Aeval stepped over to Aurora's dragon form in her own Balor form. Pandora looked to Aurora and said playfully, "You didn't think we'd let you have all the fun did you?." Ana rolled her eyes at the boisterous sister.

Nektar walked over timidly in his Climara from. His serpent tail whipping around anxiously.

Garmr stood almost motionless as she took in the whole group.

Degan and Aurelius were both shifted and spoke quietly amongst themselves. Cadeon and Nashton were settling their own nervousness in their usual way, by ridding on eachother. The each had their iron daggers readily available, just in case they needed them.
(Just some role calling. So I have a mental tally. )
~~~
Navar grinned broadly and admitted, "I had no doubts goddess ol' pal. " He then started typing the all clear text to Anna.

"There! I finally found her! Oh, no! They have her isolated upon an uncharted floor. The only thing i can think of, is it must still be under construction. She's not looking good. There's absolutely no water on that floor. Don't Hippocampus need water to live?" Ackley asked concerned.
~~~
"Very clever love. That's just one of the many, many reasons I love you. You're perfection and you're wicked smart. " Racine thought to her with all the admiration hemail felt wit it.
~~~
The Sylphs bowed formally and looked to Foneth as they straightened once again. They each introduced themselves to her in rapid succession. They then looked to Ender expectantly.

Ender stood a bit taller and explained without to many deals into why he'd felt such rage and abject betrayal, just that it was overpowering in its ferocity.

Spyro listened with a heavy heart. For he knew well the reasons his brother had felt so strongly. For he'd contributed to them in his own way. He felt true regret and heartfelt remorse. He looked to the ground in shame.
~~~
Markus looked to the two dragons and hissed angrily. "That little snot! Pariah! Fix that now!" Ordered urgently.

Pariah who had been healing The gravely injured, stood to look in the direction Markus was pointing. "Let him put the fire out. You don't want to lose the assets. " She said calmly.

Anna nodded and watched her phone for the next text, so they could move when it was ready.
Kellan thought of that and looked to the vans, nodding. "We could each take an equal number of warriors, four groups so that the outside can be attacked with the dragon as well. They won't know who to fight first." He liked this idea.

Aurora chuckled and smiled at Aeval. "I'm glad you decided to join me." She said cheerfully then looked to Nektar and Garmr. They already had a decent sized group for attacking the outside.
~~~
"They do" Fay said, lookinh at the screen with a frown. "Who is going to her? They will need to take water with them." She said uncertainly. "Perhaps one of the doctors?" She was worried about moving her if she was hurt.
~~~
Sorcha smiled at that and kissed him gently. ""Then lets get busy. Where are we going to send them to specifically? We have to get that rready and the portal spell from here to there."
~~~
Foneth flicked her tail absently as she listened to Ender speak about his experience then looked to Spyro as he looked to the ground. "Use the strong emotion Spyro. Use it and will yourself to be a dragon." She said softly
~~~
Echo team was glad for the rescue, getting rehydrated and waiting to see where they would be sent once they were ready agaim. The worst injuries were from the explosions earlier, the ones knocked out were still unconscious.

 

[Run Wild]

Kyth felt bad for making Aurienne feel uncomfortable. He should have been more delicate in his wording. "I'm sorry, you're right, you didn't. I made the conclusion on my own. My apologies, perhaps I should go." He said with immense regret. He stood and looked to her back before turning to leave.

"Kythe, stop." She called to him quietly, "you don't have to go."

 

[NickyKnack]

(Ok, I think I know where I'm going with this. Now I just need time to post. Lol! )

(I'm changing the sequence for continuity. )

Navar growled loudly at the abuse of his friend, but rained in his wild dog's protective instinct to focus on what needed to be done. He added the new development and the details Fay noted in the text. Hr then sent it to Anna's phone. He looked to Fay and said, "Ashton is familiar with this facility, so she'll probably be our best bet. But Ravek isn't going to like not being able to be there with her."

"It's worse then we think, there's a ruin upon that door. What it does, we won't know until we can translate it. I'm running encryption scans now, but nothing so far." Ackley informed them.

Navar didn't like that, time they didn't have.
~~~
Zypher glanced to Anna's phone as it buzzed announcing the arrival of a new message. "Is it go time? " He asked eagerly.

"My thoughts exactly. But I only wonder if Racine build the void stable enough to support multiple doorways." Maxton voiced his one concern.

Xatia stated, "Then why would he make the void so large if it couldn't accommodate such."

Ravek looked between his fellow Fae and reminded gently, "You know Racine doesn't do anything by half measures. I'm positive it will hold and then some. It's our best shot at cutting the numbers lost. They will not be able to isolate our groups if they have a way out wherever they are or regroup on a safe floor. Especially when their armory of weapons is take from them."

Aeval smiled proudly and said, " I wouldn't miss it for the world. So, are we fly them out there.." Pandora finished for her, "Because they don't have wings?" Ena looked to her sisters and said, "Well need the ground support. One they won't even see coming. Hades hounds are pretty scary. I did some research last night when you both were snoring and keeping me up."
~~~~
Racine grinned devilishly and whispered in her mind, "I must inform you, my darling wife. That statement means something completely different on earth." But all levity fled as he grew serious once again, " But yes, lets! As far as their destination, why to a magic suckling, windowless, doorless cell build within the cells in the dungeon. That way when the occupant is devoid of magic, well crack it open and let them out. Sound like a good plan?" He asked privately.
~~~
Spyro looked up with a start, he hadn't realized Foneth was watching him. He flushed in embarrassment and nodded rapidly. "Yes! Of course! " He then closed his eyes and focused on the strongest emotion he'd felt recently. It was vague at first, until he nurtured it into the forefront of his mind. It's intensity stunned him as indignation and fury filled him to almost bursting. He remembered the abject disgust at seeing his brethren slaughtered in such a manner in the dungeon. Now that the shock had worn off, the entirety of his emotions was revealed. His eyes shot open as he gasped aloud. He had a moment of pure panic, before he slammed it all into the mental image of the great dragon. He squeezed his eyes shut at the agony of such a large emotion was focused into a great pressure that built until bursting. Then all at once, it went away. Spyro frowned as he was certain of his failure. But the perspective that met his eyes was proof to the contrary. For he'd indeed shifted into a great dragon of significant height. Startled, he jumped back and lost his footing and fell unceremoniously to the ground.

Ender thew back his head and laughed harder then he'd ever laughed before.

The other Sylphs stared in muted silence at the amazing transformation. It had been glorious, for they'd all had been deeply rooted in Spyro's mind the whole time. He'd opened it to them intentionality.
~~~
Markus turned to look at the sound of the logging rig that cut, stripped and stacked the trees that stood in the path of the containment vehicles. It was quite the sight to see how easily and effortlessly it cleared the path.

Pariah tipped her head at the strange equipment for a moment, before turning to face the dragons once more. She called out to Storm in his mind and watched as the ice dragon focused upon her. " My presence in your mind proves I still own you. Fight all you want , you'll never be free of me. Im far stronger than you and your father combined. But he's no longer here to help you. Pity he left you to our mercy, for we have none for you!" She then sent a power orb flying at him.

Storm roared his rage against Pariah and free fell to avoid being struck by her orb. He flared his wings and soared upwards and once it had passed beyond harming him. He focused upon Pariah and shouted, " You have no hold on me demos! You forget, Xavier had the kings spell book before you knew it existed. Do you not wonder why there were pages torn out? Because even my father knew certain spells were not to fall into evildoers hands. He destroyed them in the good conscience. But not before I saw them! You will meet your end! By his blood upon your hands, I vow this!"

Pariah laughed manically, "And who said he was dead?! That was your conclusion, not mine! Xavier lives! Or, at least he was alive when I sent him away to the enemy. " She said with delight.

Storm faltered in his wing beats at the revelation. His father could still be alive? He marveled in shock.

The reaction Pariah had hoped for presented itself as expected and she struck with a bolt spell and hit Storm square in the chest with it.

Storm roared loudly as it penetrated his breastplate.....

Slygotha, although still distressed, was nonetheless very glad her mate had made his appearance. She was upset by the apparent appearance of a different dragon outside, its roar distinguished from that of one of her own. Her crest bristled. After depleting much of her magic reserves, this was the last thing she needed.

Reaper watched the exchange between Storm and Pariah. He tried to warn Storm as the second spell struck home. He launched into the air to try to help however he could, when a thunderous laugh sounded. Reaper was confused by Storm's response. Let alone that he was still alive.

Storm continued to laugh as his depleted body eagerly absorbed the lighting magic. "You don't strike a ice dragon with lighting magic, we are weather! Wind, rain and LIGHTING!" His voice thundered as the clouds started building to block out the sun and the winds built to a brushing velocity that had cooled the air and picked up debris from the ground to make projectiles out of the smallest items.

Reaper seize the opportunity and added his acid to the whirlwind whipping the area. He struggled to stay buoyant within the strong wind currents.

 

[NickyKnack]

"Kythe, stop." She called to him quietly, "you don't have to go."

Kyth paused with his hand upon the doorknob and looked back at Aurienne. "Are you sure? I never should have said such a thing." He said with heartfelt sincerity.

Asclepius asked, "would it be preferable for me to charge in with a front line assault? My species of dragon are masters of luck, light, fire, and healing, so I can use my fire breath to full effect if I'm in front, then fall back once we engage the enemy earnestly so I don't roast anyone."
