*Hidden Nature* A Shapeshifting RP

[StarrNico]

Andorra small group moved in to pick up the she wolf and retreat with her sleep form. Where several other moved in with collars for the males. Once clicked into place, the bolted to the other room. Mission accomplished they left with the prize. After removing the dart and slipping a restrictive collar on her. It would allow her to keep her wolf or human shape, but nothing larger.

Pyro settled on the shore in his dragon form. He listened and weighting his thoughts and interpretations of the way things had turned out. At the risk of Aurora's ire, Pyro offered, " It is not for us to know the how's or why's. Your daughter, Estelle was ment to be queen in the old world. But with the tampering of the magic of the founding spell , it has offset the harmony of the shifter's world. Perhaps Elle as a doppelganger, may very well be needed to make the unnatural hybrid dragons come to balance, if not come to heal. I do not attempt to know these things. I'm merely speculating a viable outcome. " Pyro looked to the sand and doodled at it with his claw. "You know, I remember a kingdom in the Dark Ages that was ruled by brother Kings. Though their kingdom did not know there was two of them. They were identical twins and their people did not find out until one died publicly. Now don't focus on the death. That's not why I brought this up. Focus on the duel leadership and shared responsibility instead. " He concluded as he looked up to Aurora finally.

Bertram came into the kitchen and got a large glass of water to drink. He nodded to the ones helping to stir the large pots. "That smells so good from outside. I just had to come in to check in. Maybe sample some?" He whispered softly so Jackie wouldn't hear.

The girl giggled and held up the wooden spoon. "I'll pop you on the hand if you try. I was warned about you Kelpie." She said teasingly.

Bertram pouted piteously as he batted his eyelashes for effect.

Hunter and Logan would sleep until the effects of the darts wore off. Hunter would of course be the first to wake, groaning as he opened his eyes then looked around to find out where he was.
~~~
Kali also started to wake from her forced sleep. She whimpered and tried to get up before she was even fully aware of where she was or what form she was in.
~~~
"You know as well as I that such has never been done before, but maybe it is meant to be. Usually the elder queen would teach or guide the new one, but there is no elder queen for Estelle to learn from." She sighed and rubbed her temples then leaned back, the water acting like a chair for her. It felt so good to be in her element and to feel it again. She did look better too, though not as young as she had appeared before yet.
~~~
"In a way, yes. Sergio and I are bound to one another." Jackie answered then shrugged a little.

Jura screamed in rage and surprise as the net closed in around her. She tore at it but it was no use. It shocked her until she fell to the ground with a thump, her body twitching slightly but she was no threat any longer. She watched with heavy lids and sullen eyes as the wolves were collected and collared, much in the way she had been for all of her life. And now that they had what they wanted she wondered what they would do with her. If she would be terminated or allowed to live in a cell like she had in the past. At this point she wondered if death would be kinder.

(They only took Kali, not the others. They put collars on them through. Jura, they took the net off at the last minute before shutting her in with the wolves. )

Aeval shushed her to calm her. "Kali, take it easy, you'll hurt yourself. " She said worryingly. She looked around the room she'd been moved to with trepidation. It was far better then being in Dominic's office like a prized pet.
~▪~▪~
Pyro looked to the sand as he doodled some more. "I know. I was trying to see a positive impact of the situation. As well as suggesting that Elle should be hidden from certain ones of our brethren. Especially when they find out she's a doppelganger. The Thunderbolt Clan of the East are very suspicious of such supernatural deviations." He said gently.
~▪~▪~
Garmr smiled warmly at how Jackie described Sergio. It was almost mothering in a way.

Asclepius took note of the movement across Jackie's arm. "Do you have a demon familiar too? I got one of them too!" Blurted Asclepius, hooking a thumb at his chest proudly. "Actually, it's a Duke and his 26 legions, but for all intents and purposes, he's sort of.... Um... My familiar. You know, when he feels like it.." Asclepius's voice trailed off a bit. " I have him trapped in a book. He's quite brilliant, but he's rather unfriendly."

Xatia chuckled softly at the uniqueness of Asclepius's personality and his phrasing of that statement. She looked to the window and smiled as she saw the grown infants experiencing grass for the first time.

Kali settled at the familiar voice, looking over to Aeval then trying to go over to her, unless she was chained or anything. She felt weird without that new presence being there to be called on
~~~
Hunter sighed when he found himself still in the same room, rubbing his head then getting up to check on Logan and Jura "They took Kali, poor pup." He said quietly.
~~~
Aurora took a breath then nodded "I know, that's why I am glad we have this place, this realm. If nothing else we could have one stay here, though I do not like that idea much." She admitted softly.
~~~
Jackie got up to check on the food after a moment and make sure the preparations were going smoothly. She smiled when she saw Bertram and moved to hug him close.

Slygotha dutifully reassured Valstrath and Nidhogg, touching each of them with her snout in turn. "Calm yourselves. The stone reacts to your commands, and to a lesser extent, your emotions. Concentrate, and don't let your emotions cloud your thoughts."
Nidhogg took a deep breath and gathered her resolve. Focus. Focus. Breath slow, clear out fear and anger... Finally, she achieved some semblance of control, albeit very wobbly. The black mist behaved for her like an unruly child, and she would need much practice before she would control it.
Slygotha stated, "with time, you will do it. You must. You can practice while we swim down the river."

Valstrath knew that was easier said then done, but knew better then to contradict broodmother. He instead looked tired his brother and saw that he was doing surprisingly well. Which filled his with hope and frustration......and a touch of envy. He took a deep breath as he nodded to Slygotha with determination. "I will master this mother. I long to be as powerful as you one day." He said as he focused on calming his mind of worry, dread and uncertainty.

Razeth waded in the water and watched his siblings and Slygotha curiously.

Aeval moved to help Kali sit up. "Rest and take it easy. You are depleted, as was Anna. " She whispered softly to her soothingly.

"I think likewise. Their memories and life experience must stay the same. Any deviation will make it easier to decipher which one is which, for those who do not know them personally. I'm worried the word has spread that their queen has ascended and has taken her throne. The released Menagerie dragons are carrying the news. There will be no hiding soon. She has been too long awaited. " Pyro informed Aurora dutifully.
~▪~▪~
Bertram smiled and hugged Jackie lovingly. "We finished another cabin love. It's going much faster with the added help. Which is fortunate since the need is great for lodgings. But I must admit, this wonderfully smelling food was a distraction." He said with enthusiasm.

(Ok I wasn't 100% sure on that, thank you for clearing that up. )

Jura had been sapped of her strength but in the last minute before the others left they took the net off her. She was left in the room with the two collared males. There was nothing for her to do, she had no strength left, so she slept. When she finally heard one of the males talk she lifted her head to look at them.

"They won't harm her if that is what your worried about. She is too special for that, whatever that other shape she carries is, it is much coveted. At this point she is probably safer then us." Jura said apathetically, looking at them with eyes devoid of emotion. She had long since come to grips with her reality, any chance she may have had she had squandered. This was her life, and would always be her life.

Razeth waded in the water and watched his siblings and Slygotha curiously.

Slygotha nodded approval as she took the lead in the water, her third eyelids filtering out the murky waters. Her body shimmied through the water lazily, letting the current do most of the work for her. Her head only broke the surface to breathe before retreating to the relative safety of the muddy water. Her wings clung tightly to her sides so as not to hinder progress.
Nidhogg paddled after Slygotha, her claws churning the water until she got up to speed while her muscular tail waved strongly from side to side. She was trying to focus as Broodmother had stated, but doubts lingered, nagging thoughts tugging at her mind. Her timid nature would make fear her greatest obstacle in forcing the stone to do her bidding.
