Welcome to Gaia! ::

*awakens to the the sound of gentle, pelting rain, getting up and packing everything away before it can be soaked, looking around camp and spying the note and necklace and picking them up* ..........Ohh, Cat.......... *tucks the necklace and rolled up note into the pouch beneath her shirt and nudges Myth* Come on Myth, let's go.... I'll take the reins so you won't have to bother with them....... *unties the creatures from the tree, tying the females' reins to the male's horns, and climbs up Knurcl once more, waiting for Myth to get onto Hgynty before they head out, digging in her bag to find another filled with berries, fruits and nuts* Here, this is breakfast today.... *takes a handful for herself before tossing the bag to Myth*



(Whoops, I meant my appt. is at 2pm to 4pm pst.... sweatdrop )

**Cat's ears flatten as the rain begins to come down, then she sighs and perks them back up, listening as she trots silently along the path, happy to be working off energy she doesn't want. She resists the urge to dig her claws into a nearby dead tree to sharpen them, as good as it would feel. **

*as they make their way along the road, she pulls out her book on transformations and begins to search it again* Hmm........... If we can figure out Ayla's problem, then it wouldn't be so hard....... Wait..... What's this?..... *she reads aloud* "Though unwilling transformations are usually very hard to repair unless done so by the original enchanter, it is possible. A powerful wizard, witch, warlock, spellcaster, etc. may undo the curse wrought upon another by another by combining not only his or her powers with special spells, potions, etc. but by strengthening the spell with the added powers of another magician, etc. ........." Hmm..... That must mean that if I and Cat, or Myth if possible, combine our powers to help Ayla change back....... That should work!! ....... *makes some more scribbles on her notepad*

*ayla curled in a ball on the ground and sighed deeply, she was losing touch with her human form and it seemed more like a distant memory*...How do I tell them...*she thought to her self*

Cat drops the mental barriers she had erected and threw tendrils out to Alida.. <>

* The panther stares at Alida, then rubs against the hgruphs, allowing them to catch her smell and relax. Then she marches over to Alida and reads her notes, nodding, whiskers twitching. She rubs against Alida like a huge housecat, then settles Alida's hand on her head, purring a deep medatative tone. She begins to glow a brilliant amethyst, the pale lavender of her eyes replaced by a deep rich purple. She begins transfering her energy (which is immense in her panther form) to Alida, enveloping the Queen in energy, her purple mixing with the rich blues and greens of Alida*

* Rubs against Alida's hand again, as Alida opens her spellbook and begins to intone the words to reverse Ayla's transformation.....Cat hangs on as she feels her energy start to wane....she watches as Alida transforms Ayla back to human form. Then energy swirls around the trio of women, snapping and sparkling, then the purple starts to disappear rapidly, and Cat collapses onto her side*
