A forgotten Path (open)

Gil blinked, his new ferret form taking in her image. Her eyes gleaming above him, he took note of the feline appearance. "Yes! recycle the seed." he nodded. Shaking his coat free of more dust. "This?" He scoffed. "Mineral dust, I believe. I'm not entirely sure. For as long as I can remember, it's always been in everything. I find it in massive quantities in the Lands I come from. far north of here. I assume that's where I was born." The Ferret spit on his hands and began to clean his face, as Ferrets often do.

Gil hobbled up to her shoulder, wisp of hair brushing his whiskers and he sniggered. 'I have no Idea what i'm getting myself into.. I wonder where Chimera got off to?' the ferret took a good look around and shrugged. Turning his attention back to Ashen. "I'd love to come with you, Wherever that may be. For the time being I am full of wanderlust and obligation free." He jeered momentarily. tail swishing back and forth along Ashen's shoulders. "Where... might we be headed?"

Gilgaard was a wanderer at best, He never had anything to chase but the horizon. No purpose in life to call his own. But he did love adventure and he found it more often than not. Wildgard had been quiet for him, for the last few months and he'd remained unseen through most of his stay. Company was a welcome joy and he'd follow that for now. But he couldn't help but wonder if he was leaving his companion without a signal. 

Ashen couldn't help but giggle at his little paws on the skin of her arm. the little furry paws tickling her as Gil ran up. as Ashens head turn away from Gil to avoid ticklish whiskers, as she heard a loud Bray like noise from a far. silently she waited as she stood up straight from the ground, taking gils short silence as a blessing only once. 'strange, sounded odd, and not of a true animal I am aware of.' she thought. she shorty shrugged it off as Gil ask where they where heading. "hmm?..well, my home is here in Pan'do, and I often go for walks though the forest. maybe we can stick to the tre-" Ashens word where cut short as she heard a rather loud breaking of branches and something landing behind her.


keeping perfectly balanced, she turned to face the creature, drawing her duel ended short sword and dagger within a second and even Crouching almost animal like near the ground, in once smooth quick motion. only thing stopping her from completing her stance was her straighten shoulder she that never moved, to keep gil level at all times. her eyes widened only for a moment when she layed eyes on the beast, then narrowing them. a panther like growl growing from her throat, got louder and louder even second and every breath Ashen took. 'I have no idea if Gil can fight, I have no idea if I can show him my truest form, I don't know if I can run fast enough to get us away if we need to run...' her mind buzzed with possible outcomes. making her feel uneasy.

Friend! Playing the same game! The pegacorn took a few leaps of joy, and when it landed on the third, it suddenly got very blurred. Unlike with Gil, there wasn't the same silver dust everywhere as the creature's form started to morph. Instead, there was more of a mist that hung in the air. From within, another hippogriff crept forward. It lowered down in a playful stance. Tail swishing back and forth, and head tilted far to the side, the creature clacked its beak. GILGARD~! Found you!

Gil Looked over his shoulder again, eyes gleaming at her. "Friend." He said simply. He nuzzled the giddy shifter and turned to face her again. "This is Chimaera. One of the only things i'm actually aware of, being a good thing." His face displayed almost as much confusion as Ashen's. "He's just... kind of always been there. And where I come from, having any kind of consistency is a good thing." He clicked his beak and gave a swish of his tail trotting over to her. "It's alright, he's never harmed anyone. Does more damage to himself if nothin else." 

He let out a strange raspy whistle and waited for Chimaera to catch up.

With hesitation ashen slowly straighten, sheathing her blade away. Covering her cursed arm once more Hopeing no attention was brought to it.

"Hello friend of Gil, my I'm meeting a lot of changelings lately." Ashen walked over cautiously. As she approached chimera slowly, standing near him she raise her hand offering to pet his head. However waiting for him to accept it before touching him.

At Gil's comment, Chimaera clicked happily and bobbed its head. Then it leaned forward and gave a very strange purr-like sound as it accepted Ashen's offer. 'Friend!!!' The strange creature waged its tail and gave a very strange form of a smile to the woman. With unnatural bright teal eyes, Chimaera studied the woman with pure interest. While friendly and with a good nature, the changeling could be invasive at times. And very attentive. It made a mental note of the interesting swirly marks and patterns that the woman covered up so quickly.
