Joseph was casually sitting in a tree, while his sister at 21 was up above the trees, riding on a dragon. He was casually whistling,not a care in the world,as a wolf man thing whipped past him,and trailing after, hunters. "Damn it, doesn't the city know by now to leave magical creatures alone?" He hopped down and began to throw some fire balls and such at the hunters.
Korin paused as someone leapt down and threw fireballs at his pursuers, and narrowed his eyes. His left hand had been shot through with an arrow, and he stood, form shifting back to a man, not a beast. His hair hung into his face, matted and tangled. Gold glittered beneath the hair, a thin circlet that had once been his crown, a very long time ago. He watched with narrowed eyes, observing and unsure what to do.
Joseph suddenly slid in front of him, a few more fire balls. "I KEEP TELLING YOU GUYS TO LEAVE US ALONE!" One shot an arrow,when a vine out of nowhere caught it, and set it down. "Don't make me set the dragons on you!" He growled out, and the few left turned high tale and ran away. Joseph turned around and instantly bowed. "Oh my! Why hello there prince!" He said as he got up. "And what honor do I have to serve to you,for gracing our forest?" Suddenly he noticed the hand. "Oh! Here. We can go back to our cottage and remove it and bandage it. You can stay as long as you like."
Korin could no longer speak. He had been like this for so long, alone for so long, that he knew what words meant, what speech sounded like, but he could no longer get his own to form even the simplest of words. He shook his head a little, backing away fearfully. He moved more like a frightened wolf, or other such creature, than a man. Nothing in his demeanor hinted at anything human.
He looked at you and noticed it. He nodded and walked off,and came back in his German Shepard form,and motioned for you to follow him.
Korin growled a little, retreating a few steps again. His eyes darted around, his shoulders high and tensed. There was still nothing human in his behavior. Nothing more than an animal.
He whimpered and sat there,tale wagging as he watched you. He then walked over,and head butted your butt off in a certain direction, and gave you the puppy eyes.
Korin growled again, dropping onto all fours and his form shapeshifting into a more wolf-like creature. He snapped at Joseph, limping on the wounded right hand/paw.
He sighed and dodged it, and walked off,then looked back at you with expectation of you following.
Korin snarled, ducking his head low, the fur on his haunches standing stiff and straight.
Joseph sighed as he wandered off,and came back once more as human,as his sister and the dragon landed. "Oh good! I don't have to carry you." Soon enough the pair pulled out the arrow from your paw, and bandaged your wound.
Korin growled every time they came close, snapping at them with his teeth and clawing with the other paws. His gaze was narrowed, his eyes dangerous.
He sighed as the two sat there watching the wolf. "What do we do sis? We can't just give up? Does he know we're trying to help him?" She shrugs as Joseph sighed and put his face in his hands,looking at him. "Poor thing. He's such a handsome fellow too…"
Korin cocked his head a little, still growling. He couldn't speak, and he only vaguely understood what was happening. After all these years…his mind was in shambles now, falling apart at the seams.
Joseph sat on the grass, face in his hands. "Crystal we gotta get him back. He's hurt." She nods. "Well brother, what do you suppose we do?" "I. Have no idea."
(ah thanks for finding it!)
Korin watched them, still in the form of a wolf. His hackles were raised, and he growled softly.
Crystal and Joseph turned into their animal forms. Crystal a fox and Joseph back to his German Shepard. They both continued to talk. (Seriously, I'm stuck)
Korin sat down and watched them carefully, his eyes flicking between them as he tried to make sense of this. (Same lol)
(okay so Joseph is trying to convince him to go with him, could Korin possibly just…go so we can get the rp moving?)
(yeah sure)
Joseph padded over, once more. Cautious. Scared and guarded as he circled the wolf sniffing around. Getting to be familarity, a sign of wanting a starting friendship. He then circled closer, slowly though, as to not startle the wild beast. He then sat next to him, and explained through whimpers and barks to go with him, and that there was a safe place where he could be healed and treated.
Korin growled a little, but consented to follow. His eyes were narrowed, and when he walked, it was with a heavy, heavy limp. Whatever the beast had once been, however human…he was no more.
Joseph helped where he could, walking in close in case the other needed somewhere to lean on. Crystal led, and soon the trio came up to a cozy little cottage. Joseph led him to a couch and let him curl up there, went human, and talked to him a calm voice. "I am going to dress your foot. Just rest. We mean no harm." He then got up to get bandages and some popsicle sticks to hold the foot in place. He showed Korin the items he had grabbed, reached over, and gently pulled out his foot, feeling it flinch before relaxing and stretching out, and quickly dressed it. Crystal was already cooking in the kitchen.
Korin flinched a little, growling slightly when Joseph dressed the wound. He shifted back into a man again, not seeming to have much control over it. His green eyes were still feral and wild and uncontrolled, nothing like the controlled, calm man he probably used to be.
"Steady there. Just sit. It needs to heal." He was using simple words, one this man was used too. "I am Joseph. The woman in the kitchen, is Crystal." He spoke slowly. Not stupid slow, more of a steady slow, to make sure he understood. And calm as well. "Would you like some food?"
