Alone in the Forest [invite only]

[I Desire I]

【†Yokoru†】
Spiritual Dragon

The dragon's eyes met those of one of the simply dressed women. He gave a look of distress that followed through with a small whimper. The other woman, much like the first, swept into view. Both seemed harmless, there was no apparent intention that they would attack. They didn't even feel like the types of creatures to attack him. Koru's heart continued beating at his throat and he glanced around wondering if any of the others had noticed.
In a soft boyish rasp, Koru tried to make a good impression.
"H-hello..." His voice echoed beneath a thunder clap.
...They might've not heard me...
"My name is Yokoru.."
Koru's muscles eased up and he was able to move out of his crawl-space and into the open. As the others noticed him, he gave a quick glance to each. He still felt very small around the humans, though as he got closer the Ryu picked up on the fading scents of something new. The official characters smelled like humans, but the two females...
He shifted his attention to them.
"Are y-you two animals?"

【 Ikanova Poklonskaya 】
Lieutenant


Cold, damp, and dark. That's how Ikanova would describe the cave that the fox girl lead them to. The fox girl, who gave her name as Thylia, seemed confident in her ability to navigate in the pitch black cave. Zachella also seemed to be able to see in the dark and thus Ikanova seeks out her hand so she may guide her safely into the cave. Ikanova was disgusted to see that Petrov just straight up began stripping into front of them. As though he had no regard for how uncomfortable it would make the others feel, though she had to admit Petrov was quite fit. Well maybe a little more than just fit but there was no way Ikanova was going to admit that, Petrov was beneath her.

Zachella had let go of her hand now, Ikanova's limited vision prevented her from discerning where she'd run off to. Immediately Ikanova starts to worry that Zachella got lost or worse, there were bears in this forest weren't there? What if she's hurt? Zachella was already injured in her arm, an injury she caused Ikanova thought in shame, Zachella would be no match for a bear in her current state. "Zachella!" Ikanova calls out in distress. A startled Petrov just looks at Ikanova Stupid Petrov! thinks Ikanova before she grabs a flare in her backpack. "Zachella?" Ikanova continues calling her name as she moves deeper into the cave using the crimson flarelight to see.

【 "Eric Petrov" 】
"Corporal"
{ Disvibe }

Eric was relaxing against the rock until he noticed nova light a flare. Alarmed, he stumbled up and saw the shape shifters further down the cave looking at something. Eric approached the area cautiously until he saw what appeared to be a small boy. “More shape shifters?” he thought. This was no more than a child, he probably wasn’t a threat. Eric stood there wondering what this shape shifter was. “Maybe he had special powers or something.” he thought “He looks kind of different from the other shifters.” Eric quickly realized that he had not introduced himself. “Hey there, I’m Eric. Are you a shape shifter?” he asks. He thought a straight forward approach would be best. Eric could hear nova approaching. Thylia and Zac continued to watch this small child. Cracks of thunder could be heard from outside as the group looked at the new arrival.

【 Thylia Amora 】
The Colourless Fox

Thylia slowly walks towards the creature and finds a silvered haired boy with red eyes hiding. He appeared to be really shy and sounded reserved too when he introduced himself. But she sould see he was trying to respond to Zachella and is slowly moving forward from the blocked off cave side he was hiding in. Is he trustworthy?Thylia wonders as she tried to learn his scent. She smelled something off though, he didn't smell like the other animal shifters in the forest. He just seemed... unique. It was a minty and cold scent, but he had the scent of a human as well. "Nice to meet you my name is Thylia. We are shifters; you can probably smell that we are different from those two over there." Thylia replies, as she looks over at the two humans curiously walking over here now as well. "Are you a shape shifter?" Eric asks once he made his way to them. The male opens his eyes wide as he looks over at Eric. Responding to his question after a momentary pause, he timidly nods his head. "Come over here and join us." Thylia says with a smile on her face, trying to sounds welcoming. Thylia's true intentions were to actually keep an eye on him and observe this mysterious stranger.

【 Zachella Claw 】
Raven: The Mistress in Black



Letting go of Nova's hand momentarily to explore further, Zac closed the distance between her and the boy. His hair swayed gently in the draft inside the cave. It was very beautiful hair. Shiny, soft looking. She could hear Nova's anxious calls behind her, but she knew that Nova was just a few steps behind them. "Over here!"

Zachella extended her hand, palm out. She gave a small smile and nodded at his question. "Hi, Yokoru. I'm Zac, and the girl behind us here," she says, as she gingerly taps Ikanova's shoulder, "this is Ikanova."

Eric appeared beside them too, his presence was unnerving, for all the wrong reasons. She tried to look away from his bare chest. "Eric, you can't just walk around like this!" Zac didn't mean to snap at him and her face flushed at her own voice, but she just couldn't stand him being so close to Nova like this.
