with the other three, Alex had Jim and tobes pinned
Alex: haha! Alex 30, Jim and tobs 11
Jim: haha, very funny.
she removed the sword she had at their necks as she got up. Jim and tobs sat up
Jim: hey Alex.
Alex: hm?
Jim: how do you shape shift.
Alex: well, if I’m impersonating someone else, if I have their image in my head, I just say in my head, “I am” and who ever I’m shapeshifting to. If I don’t know their names, I just imaging the person then. If I’m changing into a more, creative person, like say, me if I was a troll…
she said as she slowly shapeshifted into her, but bigger, with stone skin and a more troll like body. Her voice seem deeper and a little distorted
Alex: I imagine how I would look like as that. I wouldn’t recommend shape shifting at your state though. It takes a lot of energy, and you may pass out half way through it. Then you’ll be stuck as half you half that person your shapeshifting as for a few days. But if you really want to learn, we can start off with small insects and animals, like spiders and mice.
(I took a shower for my dizziness and it helped a little, not a lot.)
nikita looked up, confused at the new troll. it took only seconds for him to be over there and protecting his friends.
All three of them: woah!
Alex: don’t worry Nikita.
Tobias: yeah! It’s just Alex! She was showing Jim how she transforms into different people!
(I love how every reaction to her first changing into a troll Nikita always tries to attack her)
nikitas glare softened " warn an alien before hand " he said
Alex: I did it out in the open!
"and i was talking to argghh your point is?"
alex stook her tongue out at him as she detransformed
nikita stuck his out and went back to learning
alex looked at jim
Alex: do you still wanna learn?
Jim: Alex? Your clothes?
here clothes were stretched out and torn from the bottom of each piece of clothing
Alex: Hm? Oh, it’s fine. This happens a lot…
she said as a full set of blsck armor with green engravings and a green sword shaped gem in the middle of here chest-peice
Jim and tobes: woooooaaahhh
after training, they felt safe enough to walk back to the mothership in the dark instead of portaging to it. As they walked closer, they saw a bright orange glow from the woods
Alex: what’s that?
then, glowing dots of orange flew up from it, then faded. One of the dots fell on Tobias’s nose
Tobias: ow!
he said flinging it off
Jim: are those…
Tobias: ashes??
Alex: oh no…
she then ran into the woods towards the orange glow
nikita followed after activating his med suit and his akiriadian form
jim and Tobias, not knowing what to do, followed. Once they finally got there, there was a giant fire. It looked like a house that was burning down. In front of it, was a male figure, boxy. The person looked familiar, they where holding a torch. Once they heard something, it’s head turned around, with red and yellow eyes, ones of a changing. It quickly transformed and flew away and Alex chased it until it disappeared. Jim and Tobias had already called the fire department. Alex didn’t know what to do, she just stood in front of it and fell down to her knees
" what's..?" Nikita was so unsure of anything
Alex:… my home… my things…
"alex.. im so sorry.." nikita wrapped her in a hug
within a few minutes, the fire fighters came and put the fire out. One of them walked up to the group with some sort of book
Firefighter: which one of you uhh, lived in that.. thing.. I can’t really call it a house cause it was built like a beavers dam, not suited for human life.
Alex: uhh… it was me…
she stood up
Firefighter: well almost everything was burnt up except this book. Its really weird because when we found it it was in fire but it doesn’t have a single burn mark.
he said as he handed her the big book. She grabbed it
Alex: uh thank you…
after ten minutes the fire fighters left.
"?" nikita tilted his head at the book,confused just as much as the firefighter
Alex: how did this not burn?
she said sitting down to look at it
Jim: what book is it?
Alex: I don’t know I never read it. I just got it as a souvenir from one of my travels.
she opened it up but it was in a language she had never heard of, it wasn’t trolling nor was it any human language
Alex: ugh, out of all the things! I had like ten thousand remedy books!
she said throwing it down
nikita picked it back up and sat down, his eyes clearly understanding.
Alex, confused: is it some sort of extra terrestrial language?
niita nodded."its an older form of akiridion
Alex: huh, it must be a new form for me cause I can’t recognize it.
there was a picture of two akiridions and the akiridion crown. It was the ritual for becoming king or queen in waiting. It seemed to be a study book about akiridion kind
