Forrest the Grateful Bear Person

Forrest was taken aback by the word stupid, but as he was about to shout in protest, Willow had trapped him in a large hug, rendering anything he wanted to say useless. The bear's arms dropped to the ground helplessly as she whispered into his shoulder, and when her words registered, Forrest's arms slowly found their way around the elf as he silently sobbed tears of joy, a wavering smile creeping across his face. He hadn't quite been expecting such a response from someone so determined to go against him and was expecting even less the fact that she was willing to give up whatever life she used to have to stay with him. In the wilderness, with nothing but plant life and animals. And caves, and lakes, and magic, and death...


"I'm so happy you want to stay here, but..." Forrest paused, thinking about whether he should mention her old life or not, "But... What about that meeting in the town...? Are you still gonna leave for things like that...?" Truth be told, he didn't care if she had to run off for little errands every now and then, because as long as she would disappear forever, small bits of loneliness here and there were nothing compared to the whole first bit of his life. As long as he got to socialize with another sentient being who actually cared about what he did, pauses wouldn't phase him.

Willow the Hydra

She held him a little while longer, then dropped her arms to just sit in his lap. "Well, I'm sure I'll go to town for this or that every so often. Probably some holidays and festivals at least. But I doubt I'll need to go to any boring ol' meetings if I'm not technically a part of society. Out here, I'll be free to express myself and live as I am. Speaking of which..." she said, trailing off. It couldn't hurt to show him, could it? If she was going to live by his side, he would inevitably see it. So it wouldn't be such a huge deal now, right? She assumed no one was nearby since there wasn't obnoxious noises coming from the forest, and she didn't see anyone. "Well, I suppose you should know..." she said, smiling and looking down with glazed eyes. Her body started morphing, exchanging pale skin for dark violet scales. Fingernails turned into claws, her back grew spines, and her tail grew from the base of her spine. Her head and neck split into 3 more slender forms, finishing everything she needed to to to shift. But her size had decreased, so she was still smaller than he was. When she had finished, she looked back at him with two heads, one looking off randomly into the forest. One licked moved its tongue along the outside of its mouth for a moment, but other than that, they all looked at him attentively.

[The Elder]

The dwarf charged towards Koziak only leaving him with a smile. She looked as if she was ready to finish this. When she punched towards Koziak with full force, he punched down onto her head at full force, taking the pain she's dishes out while also afflicting the pain. @Mitchs98

Alisa Elien




Alisa stumbled off to the side when she was punched in the head. She groaned and clutched her wound with one hand and stared up at him. She had one final option, and that was to attempt a chokehold like Elise did to her. Running around him as best she could in her dazed state she lept onto his back, wrapping her arms around his neck and her legs around his chest. If this didn't work, this was it, she'd unfortunately lose.

Being punches yet again almost caused him to puke. He held it in. He didn't want to see his lunch again. It won't look as good coming out as it did going in. When he recovered he was about to make a final attack but was too late. The dwarf already made his way to his back putting him in a choke hold. He struggled to breath and get the dwarf off of him. He had to get free. He jumped and leaned back falling to the ground. Lucky for him the dwarf took all the damage.


If Alisa lost her grip he gets up and grabs her by her top piece lifting her up. He hugs the dwarf, tightly. Wow that was fun. Thanks for the wonderful fight. I had fun!! @Mitchs98

 

[Salt Lord]

Forrest the Awed Bear Person
Forrest nodded in understanding as Willow explained what she'd be going out for, even if he had no idea what a holiday or festival was and wiped away his tears when she said she wouldn't be going out for boring meetings or anything like that. But when she got to saying things about living as who she was and him knowing, the bear was confused, and as the elf suddenly began transforming on his lap, he could only stare in awe at all the moving parts. His mouth hung open as the hydra's three heads looked at him attentively, one even licking its lips.


"Woah..." was all Forrest could manage to let out even if he wanted to say something about knowing she wasn't just an elf. "S-so that's why you got so many fish... cheater."

Alisa Elien




Alisa had immediately lost her grip as she was basically crushed into the ground by Koziak's entire weight, effectively knocking the wind out of her. Thus she was at the completely mercy of Koziak's hug and bordering unconciousness. She couldn't believe she'd been beaten by a mere human. She was too exhausted to fight him, just laying limply as he hugged her. "Yeah yeah..You win squishy. Guess you're tougher than you look." She replied. "Names' Alisa, what's your name anyhow?" She asked.

Koziak chuckles then puts Alisa down. Thanks and not all "squishies" are weak. Some are pretty legendary. Names Koziak Alisa. He walks back towards the inn. So does that mean I'm in?? @Mitchs98

Willow the Hydra

One head rolled its eyes while another snorted. She shifted back into her hybrid form so she could talk more comfortably. "I'm just naturally a better fisher than you," she teased, letting herself relax around him. It was nice to not have to live in fear that she would accidentally shift in front of someone. She rested her head on his chest, laying a hand just below it as well. "I guess now that you know, I'll have no choice but to stay with you now," she commented, closing her eyes a moment. This didn't sound like a bad thing. If Forrest could live out here all his life with no one else, she could live out here for the rest of it with him to keep her company. She really liked how big and warm he was, making for a comfortable place to curl up and relax. Maybe he was easily manipulated. Maybe he could be cruel. But this man right here is one she knew wouldn't hurt her on purpose. Maybe she could rely on him after all.

@Sgt Gomez


Alisa Elien




When she was put down she stumbled slightly before regaining her footing. She followed after him and shook her head, "Nope. Not up to me, up to Elise. I'll tell her you beat me though. And I never said all humans were weak, just most of them. You're good, but I wouldn't count you as legendary quite yet." She replied as they reached the inn. Sitting down at the counter she motioned for Koziak to sit down beside her. She looked like she lost a fight with a shovel at this point, but that wasn't stopping her from drinking. "Bartender, an ale for me and my friend here." She told the tender. "Bu-" "Just get him the ale." She cut him off with a glare.


The bartender nodded and sat down two mugs, one for her and one for Koziak. "So..any reason you decided you wanted to tag along?" She asked him.

 

[Salt Lord]

Forrest the Lovable Bear Person

Forrest blushed in anger as he crossed his arms and pouted yet still allowing her to relax on him. "N-no! I'm totally a better fisher! I was born to fish! I'm a bear!" Twitching his ears to emphasize what he was trying to say, the man let an arm fall over Willow's back with the other falling onto her head, scratching it lightly as one would a dog. "Yeah, I guess you have to stay here. Which is a good thing, but I have a question... what's wrong with being part dragon? Do people... not like things like that?"




@Kazehana

[Kazehana]

Willow the Hydra


She stretched her head into his hand, quite obviously enjoying his scratching. She spent a moment considering his question, then thought it might not matter what he knew now. "I'm not technically supposed to exist according to society as a whole. My species is rather rare, and within it, as far as I know, I'm the only dragon shifter. It's odd, really. But when I think about it, dragons did just crop up recently..." she said, trailing off into thought. She had thought about it before of course. But it was weird to possess such an odd species within her. She squirmed a bit to get in a more comfortable position, then relaxed once more as she enjoyed peacefully sitting in his lap, letting his petting make her feel good about everything that was going on that day. "You are so much better at fishing than me. And a great companion, too," she commented, smiling and closing her eyes.


@Salt Lord @Quinlan63

 

[Salt Lord]

Forrest the Lovable Bear Person
Forrest listened intently to Willow's explanation, trying to make out what she was saying with a determined face. So she wasn't supposed to be alive according to everyone she lived with, there was only one of her living, and a bunch of dragons have been popping up? Forrest stopped scratching when the hybrid shifted in place to get more comfy, continuing the movements of his fingers before he spoke. "That sounds hard. Being the only person out of your whole species to be able to do that... do they just not let you shift? Why do you have to hide in this form? Also," the bear paused to smile at the compliment he was given, "Thanks! Think it's time to go count the fish?"

Willow the Hydra

She didn't move much considering she was going for maximum relaxation and attention. "Mmm none of us are supposed to shift in public. It's too risky for anyone to know we exist because we fear we will either be killed or exploited. Either way, out lives will suck if we fail to remain a myth. As for me, it's pertinent for me to be even more cautious because a lot of people want to harness the power of the dragons. What better way than a literal gateway between the two worlds?" she asked rhetorically, taking a deep breath. "I suppose we could go count the fish. Or we could say that you won and stay here for a while. I for one am quite enjoying this," she responded, adjusting very slightly to prove how comfortable she was. Plus the petting was a bonus. She wondered if he wanted something in return for this, or if he liked to do it. Either way, she wanted to do something nice for him. Just not now; she was too comfortable.

Magnus Cain

​

Magnus saw and heard everything both Forrest and Willow had said. Including Willow revealing that she was a shifter who took the form of a hydra. He knew well that if anyone other than him had saw that they would of screamed running back to the city to tell everyone of what they had seen. He really was glad it was him because no matter what she might of done had done in her life Magnus could see the good in her from how kind she was to Forrest. An heck he decide to wait a little longer on going home for now. He wrote the symbol for invisible on the palm of his with his finger and his body disappeared. Fully out of sight he decided to get a closer look knowing well enough to keep quiet.

Koziak-Inn


Alright cool, thanks Alisa. And if not now than I will be soon. He said as he entered the inn. He sat at the table chuckling at his appearance and Alisa's. Koziak's white outfit was now covered in dirt.





Soon the innkeeper brings him and Alisa some ale. Finally. He takes the ale and chugs it down like he's done it plenty of times before. So Alisa, where's your friend.

Forrest the Lovable Bear Person
Forrest snuggled into Willow, sharing that same sense of comfort from the hybrid's small frame. Closing his eyes just as she did, the bear began to speak surprisingly softly. "That sounds horrible... I'm happy to know I could pull someone into freedom. You can shift as much as you want here... I won't tell anyone," he giggled as he pulled the lady a bit tighter into his chest.


But the sound of footsteps in the grass instantly made the man's ears perk up as his eyes jolted open, scanning the area to find nothing. He let Willow go an nudged her gently. "I think there's something watching, and normal animals generally can't turn invisible... Let me make sure..." Sniffing around suspiciously, Forrest got a rather strong scent of something else, and baring his teeth, the bear slammed his fists into the ground to prepare his magic.

[Kazehana]

Willow the Hydra

Willow's eyes widened in alarm as she shifted back into her elven form. "W-what? How hadn't I noticed?" she asked, looking around in alarm. She was going to try to locate the presence, but Forrest appeared to have found some sort of trail, so she let him do his thing. She made sure he was in the lead so she wouldn't be caught off guard in case something attacked them out of the blue. But she had to wonder how much they saw and what they knew. She might have to kill someone today. And it was going so well, too!


@Salt Lord @Quinlan63

 

[Quinlan63]

Magnus Cain

​

Magnus had only moved a little bit closer to the two when he could feel a shifting in the ground and in the trees. He was sure that Forrest was causing this because of his presence. So he did the only thing he knew that could stop a fight. He de-spelled his invisibility, through his sword to the ground, and put his hands up in the air. "I come in peace I do not wish to hurt you and hope you have it in you to not kill me or take my money."


@Salt Lord @Kazehana

 

[Kazehana]

Willow the Hydra

Willow was bewildered that he went from weirdly stealthy to surrendering and pleading for no harm to come to him in a short amount of time. "What business do you have with us? I'll have you know this was a private matter," she huffed almost condescendingly. She of course thought he knew too much and would have to be killed anyway. But he was just some random guy, and she wanted to know why he was acting so strange. Especially since she knew he had seen her at least partially shifted. She glanced at Forrest, unsure what he would think of the situation. What he said didn't make much sense, especially since he brought this upon himself.


@Salt Lord @Quinlan63

 

[Salt Lord]

Forrest the Lovable Bear Person
Forrest's angered, threatening look turned into a playful smile as the man he knew was there threw down his weapons and asked for mercy. The bear lifted his hands from the earth and held his arms wide open, and despite the fact that he probably saw Willow transform, he ignored the hybrid's demanding tone toward the man and held his arms wide open. "I don't think it matters! As long as he keeps it a secret, I'll let him join in on the fun! C'mere, buddy!"

[Huor Spinks]

Lilith watched the poor man gape at her, it wasn't the first time people simply stared at her due to her height, or intimidating sword, or how many ale's she could down in a very short amount of time. Her eyebrow still raised in a bewildered manner.
He finally offered her a response in his name and for a moment she returned his smile with an almost adorable though simple look on her face. She wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed afterall. "Heh, Kylios...that's the same name as my broth-" Finally the cogs spun in that thick skull of hers. She blinked a few times as it washed over, you could literally see the moment she realised. The name, the hair, the eyes, the nervous finger flexing...


Her helmet which had been tucked under her arm suddenly fell with a loud clang on the ground and rolled to the edge of the room, forgotten. She took a step forward, then stopped, hand outstretched in a grasping fashion. But...but her brother was some gangly 13 year old helping in some alchemy shop... Glancing around the store as it further sunk in. This guy was well defined, an actual man, and no long limbs and dare she say far more handsome then the nerdy little brother she had! It was too much, the girl suddenly leaping forward with a surprising amount of agility, launching herself up onto his desk, before vaulting straight over, knocking countless important viles as she did which smashed all over the place in a cascade of colours and smells. But she didn't care, she was beside him in a second and threw her arms around him in a fecious hug, lifting him fully off his feet and possibly crushing him unintentionally. "My little Lios! But you...you're a man now!" This stunned her even more then seeing him. The poor boy being man-handled against a huge suit of armour.


@HuorSpinks

Sabrina

Sabrina walked down the winding dirt path to a nearby human town. She was emotionless at the moment, numb at the fact that she was going to die soon. Her creators will be extremely enraged at the fact that she slipped on the one, golden opportunity that they had on capturing a rare shifter, a hydra one at that. As she strolled down the town, she spotted an alchemist's store. She would need a large bottle of swiftness to make it back. She entered the store, still glassy-eyed, and walked over to the counters. She noticed a human female crushing a human male, the alchemist of this store it seemed, to death. She ignored them and walked over to one of the counters and picked up three extremely large bottles of swift traveling. She smacked them down on the front counter and slammed down a small bag of coins. "E-E-Excuse me...p-p-please stop crushing th-th-the store's owner and l-l-l-let him do him j-j-j-job..." Sabrina said in a monotonous voice. Then she turned to Kylios. "I'd l-l-l-like to buy these th-th-th-three bottles, please..."





@HuorSpinks @Zuka

Kylios - Alchemist Store


Kylios could only wince as dismay settled onto his features as the warrior so recently identified as his sister Lilith jumped onto the payment desk, knocking over enough vials to be described as a few days of work gone to waste. He was going to have to get those replaced as soon as possible simply because he did not want to be lacking in stocks, which was exactly the case now. The substances dripped off the desk and onto the floor resulting in a strange mix of purple, green, blue and orange, to resemble a colour extremely similar to mud, while a scent that could only be described as burnt rubber rose in the air.


Yet the dismay was extremely short-lived; only taking about a few seconds before it was replaced with elation. His sister was back! He had been disappointed when she had left, but he had understood, knowing that their little suburban home had nothing to offer to her, other than the love of their parents. It had nothing to offer to him as well, which had been why he had relocated to the city too, to learn alchemy. As a child, it had taken him at least two hours of travel to and back home from the alchemy shop before his mentor offered to let him stay in her shop, only heading back home over the weekends or holidays. And now, he had his own apartment in the city. But, the important thing was that she was back, and she was safe, and alive. Not that he was worried that much, of course. Her tenacity and stubbornness would probably have kept her alive, along with her strength, but still, it had to be admitted that he had worried a little. It was good, however, to see that his worries were unfounded.


A huge grin rose on his face, only to be wiped away as he was lifted clean into the air and pulled into a breath-taking hug. "Cannot... breathe..." he gasped out loud. His lungs could not take in enough oxygen, and his ribs felt like they were being crushed. Still though, he had been so relieved that she had finally recognized him. If she had not, it would have been heartbreaking, and he would have been extremely disappointed. This crushing, suffocating hug was actually preferred to that worse case scenario. Provided, of course, he did not die hugged to death by his own sister.


It was at that moment that the door swung open again, the little tinkling bell announcing the arrival of yet another customer. He glanced over to see another armored woman, though with less covering than Lilith, enter the store. She looked as if she was dreaming, of as if part of her mind was not there. He watched, through the haze of a lack of oxygen as she picked up three bottles of swift travelling potions, placing them into the counter amid the broken glass and brown liquid, along with a bag full of coins. He opened his mouth to say something, but the lack of oxygen made it difficult to get any sound out of his mouth. He could only settle for a pleading look at his sister, hoping that she would get the hint to release him. He flailed a little, for added emphasis.

 

[Quinlan63]

Magnus Cain

​

Magnus was in bit of shock of how Forrest was handling this. Most people would of actually tried to kill him in there position. "Well thanks big guy you do seem a nice as I had thought. Sorry for my manners my name is Magnus Cain nice to meet you. An for the record I had no intention of telling anyone about you miss. If I had wanted to do that I would of already been half way to the city." Magnus started to relax a bit even tough Willow did not seem about this but Forest's approval was enough.


@Salt Lord @Kazehana

 

[Kazehana]

Willow the Hydra

So he did see! Well that was going to be a problem. She wasn't about to pass out trust like the lady of the lake hands out swords! After all, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. And if it wasn't good enough for government, it wasn't good enough for her. "You can't just hand out trust like that, Forrest! We know nothing about him. Or his intentions," she replied coldly. She had had her trust betrayed enough for one day, and she wasn't about to give this man a chance to do so as well. But what could she do with Forrest taking an immediate liking to him? He trusts too easily... With a sigh while she watched Forrest, she forced herself to relax, if only just a little. "Why shouldn't I kill you now and just get this over with?" she asked. Se figured if he gave her a valid reason, Forrest couldn't be upset about the death. And she didn't want to displease Forrest.


@Salt Lord @Quinlan63

 

[Salt Lord]

Forrest the Lovable Bear Person

Just as Forrest was about to tell Willow the wonderful news of the man saying he wasn't going to tell anyone, he was cut off by the hybrid's protesting, and just as he was about to reply to tell her she was too distrusting, he was cut off again as she asked the man why she shouldn't just kill him now. Instantly placing his arms around Willow's body and squeezing gently, Forrest pleaded against what she was gonna do. "Please don't! It's not every day you get to meet someone in a forest like this! I mean, I trust you, and look what happened! We're like family already? Why can't we let another member in?"
