Chao knelt as well, pulling her box closer so that it was next to her and laying Sanar's bag down by her knees. She wiggled her toes and couldn't help smiling, hoping Anthony was meaning what she believed he meant by 'corperal state.' As nice as it was having her clothing safe she knew the lack of touch had been getting to Sanar.
Giving the other whisp and the three big beings a curious look Sanar floated closer to Chao, wondering what the three adults had been speaking about.

Anthony looked towards the boxes and pulled one a little forward towards himself. He had pulled Sanar's box and found in it the scarf, ribbons and a large red leaf. These, and the other small items he pulled from the box and laced in one pile. From the other box he pulled two large feathers, a pile of beads and a small pouch which he herded together with the few other items present.
He looked at them for a moment and thought back to what he had been taught. Patterns. Petterns were the key. He arranged both piles of items out, keeping Sanar's bag and Gael's stone until he had arranged the items into vague triangular shapes.
He placed each of their items reverently into their respective piles and...
...nothing happened. Slightly annoyed, he looked at the piles and started to rearrange them.
All of a sudden, the wisps seemed to be dragged towards the piles. Anthony fell backwards slightly as he watched the beginning of this transfrmation. It was one which he had never seen before.
Both forms began to coalesce at the same time and Anthony tried to watch the nuances of both. He failed miserably, of course, but the overall effect of two swirling forms coalescing into solid forms impressed a true sense of wonder onto him. His eyes flicked from Sin to Chao as he watched them watch the same event.

Sin watched, amused as Anthony's struggles mounted into what seemed to be nothing, but then... something happened, and Gael vanished from her place next to her. She turned, and saw the newly formed 'corperal' form of Gael. Her jaw dropped, her child was, beautiful.
Gael raised her hands a looked around, confused as to what was going on. She had somehow... changed. She had... these odd things attached to what had once been very servicable paws. She opened her mouth. "W..." She made a sound that was quite unlike any she had made before. This was all too much for her, she opened her mouth and wailed.
Sin leaped up as soon as Gael began to sound as concerned as she did. She engulphed the child in her arms and cooed to her, "There there, it's okay. You needn't worry, I've got you."

Chao had bitten her lip as Anthony had seemed to grow frustrated, hoping that nothing was going wrong. Were they lacking items? She didn't know what to expect.
And then she heard Sanar gasp quietly from beside her and her wisp of a child was gone and she was watching a transformation that vaguely reminded her of Sanar's first appearence, though the event was still perfectly unique.
And then Sanar was standing in front of her, gripping the sandy bag that had looked so big next to the whisp version of her. She boggled at the child in front of her. She was beautiful...
Sanar blinked and stepped forward, instictively gripping the bag in her hands tighter. She was... taller and different and... solid! Dark eyes darted down and she kneaded the woven material of the bag with her new fingers. Everything was so different! It even felt different than before!
She started as Gael began to wail beside her and flattened her ears back to her hair. Not knowing who or what the other creature was Sanar tensed and bolted-straight into Chao.
The guardian 'offed' and wrapped her arms around her child, "hey, hey, it's alright San," she stroked her daughter's hair gently, "it's alright, everything's fine."

Anthony was still stunned. He was sitting back looking at the slightly distraught Aerandir and their guardians. Still stunned, he began to laugh. Just quietly, to himself. It was all so.. amazing.
Then the rumbling began slowly, under their feet. It was just a light rumble but decidedly unnatural. What in the world was going on? "Chao, Erasin." he murmered quietly, trying to get their attention, "something appears to be... odd..."

Pausing from attempting to comfort Sanar Chao looked up and over to Anthony, blinking as she finally felt the vibrations beneath her feet.
Sanar looked down at the floor and ruffled her wings in unease as the vibrations shook her hooves and legs. What was happening now?
"What's going on?" Chao asked quietly, tightening her grip slightly on Sanar.

Sin raised an eyebrow from her positon behind Gael's ears. "What do you mean something is odd?" She asked, carefully lifting Gael up into her arms, she had grown yes, but she still didn't weigh all that much, so she supposed that that was a good thing. Especially when the young aerandir was so obviously upset.
Gael hiccuped loudly, and turned to stare at Anthony as well, some strange instint telling her that it was a good idea to pay attention. She clung to Sin though, as she was greatly confused as to what was going on. Why was her body suddenly so different? She wasn't sure that she wanted the answer, but at the same time, she felt the great urge to just curl up on Sin's pillow and sleep. She was dead tired.

He shook his head slightly as if he, himself, could not quite comprehend what was going on. "I'm... not sure".. he paused as the grounds rumbling movement came to a stop. "earthquake..." he breathed, wondering how in hell an earthquake would be affecting this out of the way set of Islands. He hasn't heard of such activity being common in any of the literature.
"You two... you'll need to help me... please" he asked them both, his eyes pleading. "I have to radio over to Cetalu first, though, to find out exactly what's going on." He got to his feet and dashed into the small study room and began to try and get through on the radio.

"Of course we'll help," Chao replied, scooping Sanar up into her arms and standing.
Sanar's ears flickered and her wings twitched again, being up in the air like this was different than before, she didn't feel weightless and- ugh, too many changes! She buried her head in Chao's chest but her ears stayed up and alert to the talk of the adults.
Chao nuzzeled Sanar's hair with her nose and adjusted her in her arms before following after Anthony.

Jizzy had been , well nto shocked, when the rumbling began, but downright terrified. She'd fretted panicked, until she finally came to ehr sense. She shouldn't stay here alone. SHe should head to the lodge. Larger building, safer area, sounded logical enough.
She burst in through the door, her bag slung safely over her shoulder as she spotted Chao. "Chao!" She said as the floor gave another rumble, shock waves she supposed and she tripped up, falling onto her bum.
The bag collided with the floor, proping open and Tobias rolled out. His quills still has beads strung itno them, as he had refused to remove them. He rolled abotu for a while, before uncurling and looking around, hooping confusedly. What was going on?

He looked up at Chao, Sin and the now present Jizzy. Almost too stunned to notice her, he felt the ground heave again, softly, but a little more strongly than last time. "Alyosha's told me to get everyone into the Lodge.. he'll radio in if he gets more information but he doesn't know what is going on either!."
Anthony didn't know what to do. How many people were on this Island now? Would he be able to get them all to safety?
Gosh darn it all, he'd have to damn well try! Stiff upper lip, this was the time for it if any!
"Right!" he exlaimed, looking around the women "Well, you women should obviously stay here, I'll go out and see whom I can find." he said, with an attempt at bravado. He really wasn't suited to it. He puffed up his chest a little as he looked out of the door. "Er... " he stopped. "Do any of you know how to work a cb-radio?"

"Jizzy! You alright?" Chao called and would've dashed over had she not been holding onto Sanar and trying to keep her balance. She turned to look at Anthony and the radio. It looked... useable.
"I think... well, I've used similar radios. I bet I can figure it out," she offered, sizing up the machine.
Sanar's ears flicked, trying to keep up with all the conversations, and she looked over her mother's shoulders and sighted- Tobais! Her tail flapped and she attempted a welcoming click, which came out so bizarre she had to frown.
"Tob~?" she tried again, attempting to make the different sounds Chao made. It came out breathy and weird, but sortof right sounding. She grumbled in annoyance and ruffled her wings.

"I'll be alright.." She said softly, rubbing her bum as she picked up soem scattered belonging and stood gingerly. "You all alright here?" SHe aske,d spotting SIn there as well. She looked over at the radio Anthony ahd mentioned adn shook her head. SHe coudln't work that.
Tobias looked up at a noise. Woah! Big thing! And, wait what was that? Why did the big thing have Sanar's scarf, the ones they'dd given her!! He toddled up to the big thing unafraid, as if facing someone his size and hooped angily. He wanted an explaination!

"We're fine, so far, seems like something big is happening though," Chao replied, worry lacing her tone as she glanced at the ground. What a time for someting like this to happen!
Sanar blinked at the unhappy hoops and ruffled her wings again in distress. What had she done? Maybe he didn't recognize her now that she'd changed?
Making a face she pressed her lips together, trying to get her face so that it was vaguely like it'd been before she'd changed and let out a slightly pathetic, but altogether very Sanarish, click.

"Something big indeed." Jizzy said, before it seemed to hit her. "By gods, look at Sanar and Gael!" SHe excalimed, gaping.
This was all it took. Tobias recognized it and just stood there for a while. Sanar had becoem a big thing. Why was he still small? He hooped a greeting. Wow, she was so big. No wonder she ahd the scarf.
