Trouble Follows Him: Just for Good Measure

[ame]

OOC: This might end up being a continuation of Trouble Follows Him. It really depends on who's here)

As the sun began to set the rain fell harder and harder, making the sands of the beach muddy and seeming to wash away into the ocean. Ancient stone walls seemed to fit perfectly into the atmosphere of the situation. The beach was littered with arrows, swords, and unrecognizable shields indicating a victorious battle for land. In the distance a flag was visible at the top of an ancient stone tower creating the feeling of an onlooker. The flag had the the image of a crossed sword and spear over a shield. On the right was the image of a wolf with a hill in the background. A white fox stood on this beach, staring intently at the flag. Blood slowly seeped out of a deep wound received earlier that day from a mysterious needle. His name was Yinneth Kebo Urufu, tough most called him either Yinneth or Kebo. Upon thinking of his daughter a voice entered his head. 'You know who did this... Why not exact vengeance?'
"Well, I'm lost... What now? I can't swim back. Better stay here then." he said walking over to the grass. Upon sitting a large droplet of blood seeped out of the wound onto the grass.

Triniti stared in wonder at everything that was on the beach. She had never seen anything like this. It was like a scene from a dream. Immediatly she fell in love.

ooc-So you were right, haha

"This is a big island. Don't start exploring without me." said Yinneth remembering that Triniti followed him. He had almost forgot. It seemed forever since he left the mainland even though it was less than an hour ago. Even though it was only a thirty minute swim he was feeling drained. More so than usual. "Forgive me for delaying your adventure but I still need some rest. If your interested I can tell you the story of this place."

[pushedoffgrace]

"Please do," she said, looking around the island. Her itch for an anventure was growing, but she ignored it.

Yinneth tried to think of a way to say it without exposing his shapeshifting ability. How could he say he worked at the fort? How could he talk about the great allies... Well, either he lied or he gave away his secret. It was an unintelligent choice. Finally he said, "Well, I'm going to have to ask you something..."

[pushedoffgrace]

"Go ahead, ask away," she replied. Her curiousty of the place was growing, and now she wanted to know. There was this feeling of uncertainty in her about what she was going to hear of it, but it excited her even more.

"Well, I... Do you believe in.... shapeshifting? I bet you think I'm weird to ask that, eh." Said Yinneth, trying to carefully choose words but not succeding. Lowering his ears, he expected a "what the hell" answer. Realizing that he made a mistake he lowered his head. 'Awe, crap' he thought.

[pushedoffgrace]

Slightly confused, and not really sure how to react to the question, she found her answer. "I believe in anything until I can prove its not real." she said. "Why do you ask?"

[ame]

"Honest philosophy, I like it. Although you shouldn't believe all you're told. You'll meet an early end if you do." Yinneth said, smiling. He then thought carefully, thinking about what to say. "I... Well, I don't... usually... admit to stuff like this. Well, I.... I'm a.... I'm actually a wolf." 'Oh, man, tell me you didn't jus' say that, Kebo.' he thought, hearing his mother's voice speaking the thought to him.

[pushedoffgrace]

"But I don't have a reason not to believe something, and an early end doesn't scare me, if it happens, it was meant to be," she said, with a sinister smile.

She gave him a curious look as he said that he was actually a wolf. She was lost for words, but filled with questions.

Yinneth looked at her. 'What the hell?' was his only thought. Then, looking into her eyes he saw something very familiar. "You should see the look in your eyes. It's priceless!" he laughed. Then, with a thought of embarassment, he said, "Well, what I mean is...... I.... can change forms. It's... kinda something in my bloodline. It's a natural ability, no curses or black magics involved. I'll show you if you don't believe me...."

[pushedoffgrace]

"Could you really?!" she asked, her eyes getting wide with excitement. She had seem some different things on her travels, but nothing like this, especially something natural. The things she saw usually came at a painful, and usually fatal cost.

She started to feel jumpy, and was finding it hard to contain herself.

"Well then, gimme a second." Yinneth sadi, readying himself for the shift. He prefered not to, though, as it made him dizzy and tired, but since he offered, he might as well. He summoned strength from himself. Focusing, he clenched his teeth. His coat turned a soft gray, the 'W' shaped darkening on his face appeared. His ears became smaller and his tail less bushy. His body Became larger, and legs longer. Falling to the ground, his muzzle thickened and his ivories became larger. His paws grew in size, all the while he appeared more and more wolven. 'Okay, halfway there.'

OOC: Pretty crappy, sorry...

[pushedoffgrace]

Excitement filled her, but she began to worry. She began to wonder if maybe this was a good idea. She had no clue how much it could hurt him. She wanted to yell stop, but knew that even though she would want him to just stop and end the pain, that he couldn't. It bothered her so much, and began to get mad at herself for curiousity.

Upon the end of the transformation, Yinneth lay there panting and huffing. He just felt so tired. He was unreasonally tired and unable to move. He looked at Triniti, and turned away... 'How pitiful,' he thought to himself, 'you're just laying there, mouth open, in front of a stranger you just met who you just showed off your secret too?' He realised how much of a mistake this was, and began to silently panic.
