*Hidden Nature* A Shapeshifting RP

[NickyKnack]

"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. 

Degan rushed back with the key ring. He slowed cautiously as he got within range of the dragon. "Here you go, Kellan. " He whispered softly to the Fae. He looked up at the beautifully majestic creature, even in her rough state.

"It's more for the eggs than me. If I were at my nest, they would be laid on a bed of open flames. I'm weak, but they started feeding me well when the monsters realized my delicate condition. They did something to me," she shook her head. It was so fuzzy! " I've laid so many eggs. I lost count, I wouldn't raise more than a few myself. I'm not sure what they did, to make me lay so many." She hung her head in shame. She felt so exposed and afraid. She purred a little at the touch, but her altered state of mind caused a plume of smoke and fire to accidentally puff out.

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

Slygotha was so drained, she just wanted to rest, just for a little while. She needed to close her eyes. She wrapped her arms lovingly around Valstrath's neck and buried her face against his side. A single tear slowly crept down her cheek. She fell asleep almost immediately, curling against him.

"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.

"If you are able to breech contract with your current holder, you would forfeit payment of her soul. Would you require any host body? If we just... Set you free, what would you do? Is there a way we can talk to Shaylee about this too? I would like to hear her side of things before we determine what to do with you," said Asclepius. He figeted uncomfortably. He didn't like the idea of judging unfairly, and wanted to hear, if possible, what the princess had to add about her treatment by Anton.
The book flipped upside down, then right side up again, as the pictures swarmed across the page until they almost seemed to spill out.

Kellan looked over to Degan "Start bringing the temperature back down to normal, there should be a control around here somewhere." He said then moved to start releasing her bonds, glad he had thought to put up a shield to protect them as she spewed fire.

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.

"We need to find everyone" The wolf near them said, putting out the alerts to everyone. "The 'wolf with feathers' is Garmr, a hades hound and she's invisible"

Elle looked to the others, going over to Jaxon and Nashton "Mom's missing?" She asked, having heard part of the conversation "I can get the dragonkin to help look, or fly light people around"
~~~
Anna relaxed at the answer, calling out to them "Come over, how did it go for you?" She knew her phone was going off, but hadn't had a chance to check the messages yet. With Zypher still watching the hallway, she took a moment to pull the phone out and look at the texts "Aurora and Aeval and Garmr are missing or hidden and Elle came to the battle. The young queen somehow was able to bring the dragons to our side just by being here?" That was confusing, since they didn't know about the dragonkin, but good if they were on their side.
~~~
Jason sighed and nodded "Yeah, it's messed up, but now we have them and can give them a somewhat normal life, and have these files if anything goes wrong genetically."

Valstrath nuzzled her hair before he stared out the entrance to guard Slygotha while she rested. He started running everything through his mind that he remembered. How could everything have changed so drastically. He wondered worriedly.

"Yes, I would. Perhaps a host body and once free, I'd like to.....I'd" Anton doubled over as the wording upon his chest started glowing. "Pariah's summoning me to her! It feel as if I'm being ripped apart!" He said with agony as he finally fell to his knees. "Please! Stop it! She'll make me hurt Shaylee!" He pleaded desperately.

Ravek rushed forward to try to go to Shaylee. He had to try to protect her somehow.

Fay frowned and moved over to Anton, reaching out to touch his chest and the markings carved in him. "No mortal being can break a god's will, and yes, even you demons are mortal, long lived but still mortal." She said then snapped the fingers on her free hand, taking all of them, still in the suitcase, to her home then out so that she and the others were in her living room "Eat and drink nothing here or you will be trapped." She warned, looking at each of them then to the still sleeping Shaylee "We are in my realm now, my home. You shouldn't feel her call here" She added, looking back to Anton, who had a kind of bubble around him.
She looked back to the others then took a seat "There are plenty of bodies here that no longer have a soul, some gods are pretty ruthless after all. We can ask to borrow one of them if you agree to what he said."

Anton panted softly as he looked around. A slight shockwave of the pain tingling slightly in his chest. "Oh, much better. She was very determined to have me end Shaylee for some reason. She spoke it in my mind. As I said, I agree, I agree to everything you said Asclepius. Just save me from that wretched demos, even if you have to skin me alive to remove this binding spell." He said weakly, as he knelt upon the floor.

Ravek held Shaylee in his lap and hugged her tightly. "My love? Please be alright. " He whispered softly to her.

Jason sighed and nodded "Yeah, it's messed up, but now we have them and can give them a somewhat normal life, and have these files if anything goes wrong genetically."

Degan hurried to the thermostat on the far wall and started turning down the dial. He saw the coils in the ceiling dim as he did so. But such high heat would that hours to dissipate.
~~~
Jaxon shook his head. "It was a wolf hybrid like the ones from our battle with the giant. But there was only one this time." He clarified further.

Nashton looked to Elle and nodded. "Good idea, but ask them first if they captured them. Then we'll know who has them and how. It's worth a try, right? Also, i could shift and ride one....if they won't eat me." He replied with uncertainty. He caught sight of Cadeon. "Yo, Cad! Get you lynx self over here. Aurora and Aeval are both missing, as well as Garmr. Can you fly a dragonkin?" He asked.

Cadeon paled noticeable and said, "Nash, you know I can't do heights." He looked around for another option, "Hey, Merrick you like flying?" He called out to the hyena. At his vigorous nod, he waved him over. "Instant fly boy." Cadeon said with humor.

Merrick hurried over to the group, "What am I flying in? " He asked eagerly.
~~~
Ackley and Maxwell hurried over and joined their group. "Something happened. The system locked up and fried itself. We were cut off when the cameras started failing. I remember you guys were on this floor and hoped you hadn't left yet. Navar went to Markus office to get his hard drive since it's completely off line and couldn't be hacked. He got out save, but then we lost track of him on Jason's floor." She explained in a rush.

Zypher nodded and continued to keep them covered until Maxton returned. The bright flash of light was very welcomed indeed. "Took you long enough. " He teased the fae.

"Did you see that beast of a man? That took finesse and two Sylphs. " He retorted with a smile.
~~~
"Which I'm guessing that could be a lot. Gene splicing at its best. " Navar said with a shudder. Navar thought of something, " Can you use a locator spell or something in this void or is there too much nothingness? " He asked curiously.
