*Hidden Nature* A Shapeshifting RP

[Bantambird]

Valstrath slipped into the cool brackish water and moved within the small cave. While he stayed in the water, he rested his head upon the slight embankment there. He closed his eyes in a slight doze as he listened to the sounds of the jungle for dangers.

"We can only rest briefly. I must find out if any wyrmlings escaped into the jungle. I suspect that my mate has been taken. Such adversaries cannot be beaten with brute force. I must think about this while we search for them," mused Slygotha aloud to Valstrath. She tried to pull on the collar again, with no success.

Anton lifted his chin ever so slightly at the sting of the ridicule. His eyes looking boldly at his accusers. He spoke to Baalberith first. "Every demon faces his downfall one day or another. Laugh while you can, Baalberith. You should know well the truth that I speak. May you live for an eternity in a room with no windows or doors and I hope it will be another 10000 or even better, 20000 years before anyone finds the need to crack your spine open to let you see light again." When Anton lifted his gaze to meet Asclepius, he replied honestly, "I thought I was capable of her kind of love. But I see now, what a felt was not a pure love. It was motivated by greed and selfishness. I kept her contained as she was trying to break free from me. That was when I weakened her to make her stay with me. I wanted only to possess her and to keep her for myself. I didn't care she was being kept from the very one she told me she truly loved. So you see, if caring for something more then you care for yourself is love, then I'm incapable of such a selflessness emotion. For she is the embodiment of all things good in this world and I was going to keep her out of it. If you'll grant me total freedom, as you described, I'll set her free to go back to her loving mate." As Anton glanced to Ravek as he felt true shame for the first time at his actions.

Baalberith silently chuckled, revealing fresh script. 'is there such a thing as pure love for a demon? Can such a thing be attained and you even remain a demon? I knew perfect love as an angel, but now, part of my fall merits the lack of love and loving in my existence. I am marked forever, having remembered perfect love, now banished from the heavenly realms and now bound to this black book. I don't, however, regret. There is nothing I can do to change the past. That story has played out, and thus, it is the future that chiefly concerns me. Can you honestly say that you, a mere denizen of the demon planes, are being blessed to recieve that which would be denied our kind? And showing remorse? To them? What sort of demon does this?' the book whispered, a low voice eminating. "What is the truth? What is lies? Who speaks for the Lord of Flies?"
Asclepius furrowed his brow, unsure what to believe. Demons are known to lie to get their way, but Anton seemed so sincere. Asclepius tended to look for the best in others.

Valstrath raised his head to listen quietly to his mother. He also hoped his siblings had managed to eluded capture.

"No, I'm not saying that I'm blessed. That would be preposterous, especially since all things holly contain the power to destroys our kind. What I've tried to convey with my revelation, was that through Shaylee I've come see and long for something I can never obtain. Only time will tell if it will makes me better for it or bitter because of it. Now stop twisting my words and putting them back in my mouth book! I know I'm incapable of pure love and that is why I'm willing to let her go free, rather then destroy her needlessly for something she doesn't even possess. That is all I have to say on the matter." Anton said resolutely.

Ravek held his tounge and his ground. He looked to Shaylee with deep compassion for what she'd had to endure. Had it not been his thoughtless mistake, she'd been spared all this. He should have never let her leave his sight for even an instant.

(I'll get to the long one tomorrow, Starr. I promise, I tried to answer several times today and just drew a blank.

Kellan nodded and eased the door open both so he could close it fast if he had to and to adjust to the temperature in there. When he saw the dragon he stilled for a moment before opening the door the rest of the way. "Greetings dragon, we are here to free you." He noticed the chains that shackled her and frowned "Degan, were there any keys in that room or do we get to practice picking locks?"
~~~

Degan looked to the dragon and answered, "Yeah, I'm sure I saw a set, I'll be right back! " He then headed back to get them.

Straining her bonds, Phoebe moaned, "my eggs! They took all my eggs!" Then murmured in a drugged stupor nonsensically. Her head rolled back as far as the restraints allowed, and her tail, secured to the side, tried to whip around like a cat's when you hold the tip of their tail and they get agitated about it.

Degan looked to the dragon and answered, "Yeah, I'm sure I saw a set, I'll be right back! " He then headed back to get them.

Kellan nodded and moved around to where the dragoness could see without straining. "I am Kellan, we are here to free you from your bonds dragoness. We will try to find your eggs as well." Gooodness, to take the eggs from a mother dragon was not good.

Kellan nodded and moved around to where the dragoness could see without straining. "I am Kellan, we are here to free you from your bonds dragoness. We will try to find your eggs as well." Gooodness, to take the eggs from a mother dragon was not good.

Phoebe saw the man in the heat proof suit come within view. She was unsure if she was hallucinating or not. "I don't know where they are. I've been here, forced to lay eggs for that monster. They take them away, I don't know where. All I can say is they must be kept on a bed of flames during the incubation. They stole all my gems. I don't even know if you are here. Are you real?" She wagged her massive head from side to side, her long whiskers sweeping along the floor.

The wolf looked around with a frown then got back on his phone, asking if anyone had eyes on either of the dragon females. Unfortunately no one did. He cursed and looked around again, heading to try to find out where they were and who had seen either one last. He also sent texts to the alphas.
~~~

Anna grabbed her weapon, looking to the footsteps then the other way to be certain it wasn't a trick to catch them off guard. "Who's there?" She called out, a warning and a question.
~~~

Kellan nodded and eased the door open both so he could close it fast if he had to and to adjust to the temperature in there. When he saw the dragon he stilled for a moment before opening the door the rest of the way. "Greetings dragon, we are here to free you."

"The mutants Marcus was making and growing to adult size before he would let them live." Jason said with a frown. "They are like babies since they have no worldly experience even though they have adult bodies and are able to shift." 

Fear griped Nektar as both females were unaccounted for. He ran as best he could to Garth and Jaxon. Have any of you seen Aeval or Aurora?" He asked urgently.

They both shook their heads. "No, we'd came in a bit late, but I didn't notice either one. Just those smaller ones." Garth explained.

"And that freaky wolf thing with the feathers. In fact, where did that thing go?" Jaxon asked as he searched for signs of the females.

Nashton stepped forward and stated, " Aurora was headed up to the mountain to take out the missile silos. That's the last is saw of her."
~~~
Zypher hovered his finger above the trigger as he watched the doorway. A soft voice whispered, "Anna is that you? It's Ackley and Maxwell." Zypher sighed softly and called out to be certain it wasn't a trap, "Code word?" All clear was Diamond and not safe was Asbestos.

Ackley informed quickly, "Diamond!"
~~~
"No way! That's messed up on so many levels. " Navar said astonished. "That explains a lot. I wondered how he was covering shifters that easily, but taunted only one side takes out the decision for them." He rationalized.

She wagged her massive head from side to side, her long whiskers sweeping along the floor.

"Yes, I am real dragoness. If I could turn the heat down to a more manageable level then I could shift and show you. Can we turn the heat down without hurting you, dear lady?" Kellan asked gently, moving forward to touch her whiskers so she could tell he was there, though bringing up a protection shield as he did. He was kind but not so foolish. He could tell she was drugged or something.
