Wind Rider

"Who are you people? And I mean who are you really?" The town guard asked. "And what are you doing with THAT?" Cora seemed to have been having doubts about the groups legitimatecy, especially when Edrick took his necklace off to show the symbol on it. "It's... L-Look, I know I just met him, but that Edrick guy he--" The merchant seemed to be caught up in this madness as well. "...I-I'm sure he just, took it off a, a bandit, or.. Or something!"She swallowed nervously, moving a hand to grab at the back of her head. "It's... I'm sure... He's alright, right? ...You're... A good guy, right? ...Please?” The new girl, Citron, was also nervous about the group. Sienna swallowed the food she was eating and sighed, she felt the same once, but she had grown to trust everyone here. If it wasn't for them, she wouldn't be here, either killed or locked up for a murder she didn't commit. She looked at Cora, and then back to Citron. "I speak for everyone here when I say you can trust us... We're trying to help however we can." She said in a calm voice. The last thing they needed was distrust amongst themselves, all their focus had to be on finding a way to help these cursed villagers. If only she was good with riddles, Sienna honestly would be lying if she said she was good with them.

"I'd have hoped you remembered what happened in the forest when you use your fire so freely, Sienna." Penelope's statement in the middle of all this talk on the witch who cursed the village made Sienna feel terrible. Of course she remembered what happened in the forest, but it's not like they were in a life threatening situation anymore, they were trying to help a village. She sat down and held her tail, she didn't know how else to contribute, she said everything she knew so far. All she could do was listen to the others discuss everything. And eat the food Catriona gave her of course, she did appreciate that. When this all blew over she'd have to think of a way to repay her.

Sienna was astonished to see that her fireball seemed to not even put a dent in the door, literally. The door showed no sign of burning, not even a single scorch mark. "Uh... Well... That didn't quite work..." She said, glancing at Shiro. Could the door be enchanted somehow, a means of keeping anyone but the owner from opening it without the required key? This whole situation just kept getting curiouser and curiouser. "Sienna, Shiro, you are needed upstairs." But before she could think anymore on the matter, Sienna's ears perked up to the sound of Catriona calling her and Shiro. She looked a t Shiro one last time and gave a defeated shrug and made her way back through the tunnel. A bit later she could be seen popping her head out from the trap door before lifting herself fully out of the whole. She dusted herself off and made her way to regroup with the others, overhearing a bit from the others on what they discovered. "Well, we confirmed that the mayor pissed off a hag by telling her to leave when she wanted to stay here, and she's probably what cursed the town. Aside from that, I also found a letter "O" in the old man's dresser." "well, see, I found lots too! Well, Sienna and Shiro and I all found lots! Like in one wall we found a lot of these really weird and badly drawn triangles." The girl counted on her fingers for everyone to see the number five, before saying, "five of them! Oh, wait. Six! There was a bigger one on another wall!" The girl seemed content with her explanation. More letters... It's as if someone was slowly but surely leaving behind a message. Maybe if they found the rest of these letters they could make something out on what truly went wrong in the village. Speaking of which. "Uh... We also discovered a door down in that secret tunnel... From the looks of things there was no way to open it, it didn't even have a keyhole... And I'm just guessing but I think it's enchanted too, I tried to uh... Break it down, but my fire didn't even leave a mark on it."

"I rather you burn it down. Obviously a door this well hidden and locked isn't here because of good intentions," That's what Sienna was afraid of, looking at the door again it seemed like that it didn't even have a keyhole. How would someone open it then? A button? A lever? Maybe a pressure plate or other mechanism? Either way, this was as far as they were getting in the tunnel until they actually found a way to open it up. "What's with all these letters?" Shiro muttered. "Some sort of message? Or maybe how the occupant organized his keys?" Sienna turned to see what Shiro was referring to, and sure enough, there were a few cubby holes in the wall, each with a wooden plaque with the letter A labeled on it. "Weird..." Is all Sienna could say as she looked at it for a moment before turning to the door. As much as she didn't want to do it, they needed to see where this tunnel lead. "Um... Stand back a bit..." She conjured up a small fireball before hurling it at the door.

Before Sienna could get a chance to head down the trap door, Shiro hopped down, with Tsetseg close behind. How anyone could jump into a mysterious hole without any caution whatsoever was beyond her but she shrugged it off. She steeled herself and proceeded to climb down the ladder, making it to the bottom of the hole a minute later. She created a small flame, that sat in her hand, and looked around. Tsetseg and Shiro seemed to have already been far ahead of her, despite having no immediate light source. She watched her step and walked down the dank passageway before she heard Tsetseg. "hey, hey guys! Heeeyyy! There's a door down here! Like, a closed one, not moving and stuff!" Now Sienna was curious, she wandered further ahead, finally catching up with the frog and archer. She found the door they were referring to and examined it. "Hm... I don't suppose you found another key?" She asked Tsetseg. If it came to it, Sienna would burn it down, but she'd rather not destroy someone's property.

With everyone lifting one end of the net, Tsetseg finally managed to get out from the trap. "I'mfreeeee! Woooohoooo!" She looked at everyone and proceeded to hug them. "thaaaanks guys! Man, I thought I was going to be stuck under there forever." She seemed to brighten up in almost an instant, putting a smile on Sienna's face. And now that the net situation was taken care of, everyone could continue looking for clues. Sienna looked around the room Tsetseg got trapped in, the fact that this specific room was trapped meant that there had to be something here. Why else would someone put a large net in their basement? "Hey, hey, hey guys. Come look." Sienna's ears perked up as she walked over to Tsetseg. Did she find another animal? Kneeling down beside the Archer, she saw the hole that Tsetseg had found. Looking down, she saw a wooden ladder descending down into the darkness. "A trap door... Good find, Tsetseg." Sienna smiled at her before poking her head down the hole. She lit a fire in her hand to see if she good catch a glimpse of the bottom.

MEGAMAN X ASHEN BATTLEFIELD The year is 24XX, after a 100 years of peace between reploids and humanity, the world now faces a new threat. THE A.S.H. VIRUS A man made virus, originally being developed as a nanotech prototype that could repair any technology no matter how damaged, has been released from the facility it was being kept in. This virus has already lead to the downfall of New Dawn City, and continues to spread throughout the world. It is only a matter of time until completely consumes the world, unless someone can stop it at the source. And that someone is the Anti-Maverick Reconnaissance Squad. Groups of humans and reploids alike have been flown throughout the world to stop the spread of the A.S.H. Virus, while squad commanders try to find a way to put those effected by the A.S.H. Virus down for good. One such commander, Commander Griger, has taken a group for a routine search and destroy mission over New Dawn City. Until their transport ship was shot down. You awaken after the crash, disoriented but alive. Now you must assess the situation and find a way out of ruined city. ----------------------------------- So, with renewed resolve, I have decided to set up an RP here with the hopes getting this one going. As life has become less busy for me, I will be keeping a fairly regular schedule now so I hope you will join me in blasting mavericks to bits.

"Well, see, see. I was just walking in here and then I opened the door - I've been very good at opening doors - and then I went in here to explore some more. But then - then! I stepped in here and there was a clicky noise and then this fell on me and now I can't get ooooouuuuuuuuuttttt!" Giving up for a moment, the girl simply sighed saying, "I'm a net now." Sienna felt really bad for Tsetseg and even worse that she couldn't get her out of this situation. Even with Edrick coming down to help them, they could barely get the net off of Tsetseg. If only Shiro and her could transform, they'd get the net off Tsetseg in no time. Unfortunately, the room was too cramped for even a single transformed Protean. "Well, this is quite the pickle isn't it?" Sienna looked up to see that Penelope had walked down into the basement too. Maybe now they had a chance with four people... That is until Penelope pointed out an... Interesting solution, to say the least. "You know, it probably would be easier if we just lift one side of the net and let her crawl out. Much easier than trying to lift the whole heavy thing up at least." And by interesting, it was completely obvious. A solution that Sienna flat out facepalmed in response to learning it. Of course, in a moment of desperation, they forget about the easiest solution to the problem. Her ears fell flat and she removed her hand to reveal an embarrassed look on her face. She moved to one corner of the net. "Uh... Ok... Shiro... Edrick... One more time, but this time... Just lift this side." She said in a quiet tone.

Sienna kept examining the markings on the wall, even after the others moved off. She tilted her head and looked at how the markings were drawn together and backed up a bit, getting a better look. "A... That... That's all I can see..." She mumbled to herself. Her tail swayed back and forth as she thought, did the rat do this? And if so, why one letter? As far as she could tell, the rat seemed like the only who could've drawn this... Message? She'd have to get the rat from Tsetseg and see if she could get a reaction at least. But before that, she was brought out of her thoughts by a loud shout. "Siiiiieeeeennnnaaaaa! Shiiiiiiirrrooooooooo! Heeeeeeeeellllllllppppp!" She looked up quickly. "Tsetseg!?" She ran to where she heard the Archer and found her in a stone room, trapped under a large net. "Oh! Hang on!" She ran over and knelt down, fumbling with the heavy net. "Agh... Shiro, can I get a little assistance? How did this happen?" She asked Tsetseg.

Sienna's ears twitched as she tilted her head, human mind or not, she wouldn't let a rat get anywhere near her, let alone crawl up on to her. Though, it was Tsetseg, she did seem the groups residential animal lover. With the rat taken care of now, Sienna looked around the area and walked over to a table, it had a sword and shield laying perfectly on it. "Hm..." Her tail swayed as she thought to herself, a little bit of protection might help in the long run. She picked up the shield but quickly found out that the thing was a lot heavier than it looked, it wasn't heavy enough to keep her from trying it on, but if she were to get into a fight it would prove cumbersome, especially if she transformed. She shrugged and kept a hold of it. Beats getting whacked over the head with an axe again, anything to avoid an incident like that again. "Do you guys know what these squiggles mean?" Sienna's attention was taken when Tsetseg had discovered something more interesting than a rat, strange writing of some sort. Sienna scratched her head as she looked at the wall, it did seem familiar, but she couldn't put her tail on it.

Sugar and spice. Not the scent Sienna was expecting. She tilted her head and looked towards the door that Shiro had investigated, a storage cellar perhaps? She stood up and walked over, trying to catch a whiff of anything else past the door. She backed up however as she noticed Tsetseg and Shiro come back with a key. Thankfully, the key was a match, and Tsetseg entered into the cellar with quite a pep to her step so to say. Sienna followed her down, curious as to what may be down in the cellar. And it seemed her guess was correct, it was a storage cellar. Her nose was catching many different smells, a few that matched the red substance from before and many more from all the food and supplies in the dimly lit area. "hello hello there little guy. What're you doing down here?" Sienna turned to Tsetseg to see what she was even talking about, only to see her kneeling close to a rat of all things. "Uh... Tsetseg? I'd be careful if I were you... There's no way to know if that's an animal or one of the cursed villagers..." She warned.

"Don't cry. You don't know for sure they're dead, after all. And even if they are..." The fox sighed. "Killing, death, those are part and parcel of life. You just aren't used to it, is all. The fox village is so isolated..." she trailed off, then started muttering to herself. "Too isolated. Stagnant. We reject the teachings of old and the wisdom of the outside world at the same time. At this rate..." Sienna wasn't quite sure why Licorice started her own little conversation on death, but she felt she had to take her friend's word for it. Even though the doubts of the beaver still being alive clouded her mind. Eventually the group exited the house, lead by a beaver. Sienna thought she heard someone inside call the beaver Acantha. "It does not seem that there are any clues to be found here. And now we need to figure out where we are going next." Catriona said, as the group left the house. Edrick quickly suggested that they check the chapel, however Catriona pointed out that the building was locked. "Alois said earlier that if we were looking to get into the town hall, then the mayor's house would be the best place to look." She looked at the group. "Then, unless there are any arguments, I suggest investigating the mayor's house." Sienna shook her head to signify that she had nothing to say on the matter and followed a little bit behind the group. It didn't take long before the group stopped in front of what could only be the mayor's house, as it seemed much more extravagant compared to other homes in the village. The beaver that was leading the group slipped into a hole by the door and soon opened it up for them. "We should start searching. We might be able to find something here." Sienna nodded in agreement and started her search of the building. She looked around the large interior and scanned the room for anything at all that may be a clue. She opened a door that lead into a hallway of sorts and looked from side to side. Her ears twitched, listening in on any odd noises before entering the hallway proper. She walked down it a bit before stopping at a stone landing. "Hm? What the..." She knelt down to see a dark red liquid that had stained the stone. She wiped a bit up with her finger to get a quick sniff of it.

"Don't beat yourself up over this. You couldn't have known that was a person. Not to mention, they attacked first. You were only defending yourself." Licorice turned away. "They made a choice to attack, and faced the consequences of their actions. That is how life works," Her words only made Sienna feel worse. "B-but... They could've a mother... Or a father... Even a reckless child." She stated as she held her tail in her arms. "Whether they made a choice or not... I still killed an innocent person... Someone stuck in a cruel curse..." She began to tear up a bit. "What if this happened to our village? What if some random person came and cursed us? Destroyed our lives worse than what happened between us and the Frogs?" She said looking up at Licorice. "What would you do then?"

Everything seemed to happen so quickly, the encounter with Citron and her wyvern, the reunion with Licorice, the apparent curse that the villagers were under. The curse part stuck out to her the most for obvious reasons. What kind of magic could not just change people into animals, but make them switch bodies with the animal they were turned into. Her ears twitched at the thought of how a spell like that could be in other, possibly worse ways. She shivered at the thought of swapping lives with a total stranger. She sat down with Licorice and just watched as some of the villager animals wandered around. There was no telling how long they've had to deal with this curse, but from the looks of things they were getting along, all things considered. In fact, all of this would explain the overaggressivness of the beavers that attack the group. They probably weren't beavers in the mind, but... Then that meant. Sienna's face turned to a horrified expression when she realized what she may have done. She glanced at Licorice for a second, before looking back at the ground. "Those beavers that attacked us... They were... Are... The people from this village... I... I struck one down... Saw it's body float motionlessly down the river..." She looked back at Licorice. "Did I... Did I kill someone?" She said in a shaky voice.

Melia watched as an enormous creature charged out from the gates, followed by the horde of much smaller creatures that seemed to rush out from under the beast. She ready her scimitar before covering her eyes as a blast of energy wiped out a good few of the shadowy creatures. "Get yourselves together you useless, motherless curs!" She uncovered her eyes to see a towering, pirate-looking, alien of sorts. "Hearts or not, let's show these neverborn bastards that our courage didn't die with us!" She continued on with her words of encouragement before rushing in to fight the creatures. Wherever Melia was, the people here we're far from normal. Taking the pirate lady's words to heart, so to speak, Melia imbued her scimitar with water magic. She made a swift, dance-like motion, and slashed a huge, wave-like attack at the shadowy beasts, killing a few more that weren't obliterated by the pirate's attack. "Phew... A few down... Uhh... Maybe a couple hundred to go..." She mumbled quietly.

Sienna let out a deep sigh, as much as she wanted to go look for Licorice too, it would not be wise to split up the group any further. She could only hope that the others would bring back her fellow fox safe and sound. In the meantime, the village itself was an enigma all on its own. It appeared to be a ghost town, besides the unusually large amount of animals that were wandering around it. Even some of the beavers from earlier were here, one of which decided to lead the group towards where the large roaring sound was coming from. It quickly became apparent as to what caused the roaring sound, a giant lizard was stuck under the rubble of a structure, with a human under it. Sienna was stunned at the creature, a wyvern from what she could tell judging by the wings, trapped with a human, all the way out here. It obviously didn't like its situation, and as the human girl under it was pulled out to safety it got even more sporadic and aggressive. That is until Gunther seemingly calmed it for the most part. Moments later, after helping the wyvern out of the rubble, and ensuring that the human was ok, they had introduced themselves. Citron and Peaches... Interesting names, but Sienna at this point was starting to show more interest towards the animals. The fact that so many different kinds were together without much fuss, it was odd to say the least.

Waking up from what seemed like a nightmare, Melia lifted herself up and started coughing up water. She had felt like she had just been fished up out of a pool or something. After a minute of coughing and finally getting a breath of air in her system, she looked and noticed that she was practically sitting in a puddle. "Wha... What the..." She got up to her legs and looked around, shivering. "Fairlight... I... I've never heard of that..." She said noticing a signpost. She looked around for a spot to sit so that she could think things through. "This isn't right... I was on a boat with my parents... Then..." An explosion occurred, waking Melia from her slumber. The sounds of panicking crew members and passengers alike rang through the air on the ship. Grabbing her gear and heading out her room, Melia could see nothing but fire and smoke as a mysterious crew boarded the ship. She ran down the hall, covering her mouth and nose with her sleeve, if nothing else, she had to make sure her family was safe. Entering her parents' room, she shocked to see her father standing over the body of one of the enemy's crew members. Her mother was holding her side, healing a gash that had been caused by the enemy's weapons. "Mother! Father!" She ran up and hugged her parents, tears slightly forming in her eyes. "Melia! Thank the stars those men didn't get you..." "Leonhard, we still need to get out of here. We can't sit here while those men kill everyone!" Her mother said as she finished healing her wound. "You're right... Melia, wait here and don't open the door for anyone you don't recognize." Her parents' hugged her one last time. "We'll be back." Were the last words she heard from them. A minute passed before Melia looked towards the door. "I... I have to help them... I can't just sit here!" She told herself before she ran to the door. But before she could open it, an explosion knocked her back as the door flew off its hinges. A sickening, loud crack was heard as the hall of the ship started to split apart. Melia could barely keep her footing as she fell into the crack, splashing into the water below. Melia couldn't tell what to make of her situation, all she knew was that she needed to swim up. Until an object hit her directly in the head, knocking her out. Everything faded to black, as she slowly drifted to the depths. "Did... Did I... Drown?" She mumbled to herself as she looked at her hands. They were wet, pale, and clammy, as if they haven't seen sunlight in a long time. Suddenly, the sound of scratching and the cracking of wood caught her attention. She looked towards the gates of this town to see that some sort of darkness was trying to get in. "A-Ah..." Melia stood up, fear visible on her face, before a voice rang out to her. Your strength... what is it made of? Would you risk it all... for the truth? Melia looked up upon hearing the voice and took a deep breath. "I... I have to find my parents... I have to know what happened..." She drew her scimitar and looked towards the gate. "I am Melia Gaeleo... Explorer in training... And I will find my family!"

Drowned Explorer Name: Melia Gaeleo Age: 17 Gender: Female Physical description On account of her "death", Melia's skin has a much more pale complexion. Her skin, hair, and clothing are also noticably wet, with her clothes being especially soggy. This appearance is permanent due to how she was dragged into The Ever when she drowned, it irritates her, but for the most part it doesn't effect her in any significant way. Biography Melia is an explorer of sorts, dedicating her life to exploring the unknown and discovering new and fascinating things. She's been exploring with her parents ever since she was 10 and had only grown more curious about the many worlds that cover the universe. She hoped that she would eventually make a discovery all on her own and make her parents proud of her. On account of some adventures being a bit too extreme for most people, Melia's father taught her in the way of the sword, particularly the curved scimitar. She developed quickly during her training and even managed to go toe-to-toe with her father before he taught her another lesson, the use of magic. Unlike her skill with a weapon, it took Melia longer to learn magic, most attempts either ending with an explosion of smoke or the ground collapsing where she stood. Eventually though, she was able to get the hang of it, joining her parents on more harrowing adventures, until the unthinkable happened. During a boat trip to their next destination, they were attacked by an unknown force in the dead of night. With barely any time to prepare, the men boarded their ship and slaughtered the crew. The ship was ablaze from the fighting, and as Melia's parents left to go help the crew an explosion occurred. The ship split apart and began sinking as Melia tumbled and fell into the water below. Swimming back to the surface, a piece of debris hit her right in her head, disorienting her and causing her to lose her focus. She sank to the bottom of the sea, lost to the darkness of the deep waters. Personality Melia is a very curious person, always asking a question when she can and trying to learn about every little thing. As a result, she can come across as being a bit annoying, almost always clinging to a single subject until she gets the answer she's looking for. This can harm her chances of making friends, but looking past her annoying questions, she's just a curious and naive girl with a love for the unknown. She also has a love for animals, as she and her parents would regularly encounter them on their trips. She can't help but gush over how cute, cool, or weird an animal is and used to carry a scrapbook of all the animals she's seen. Combat Steel Blue Scimitar- A scimitar Melia received from her father upon completing her training. It's named after the bluish gray tint that it's blade seems to possess. Melia uses it to fight in an almost graceful, dance-like style. Flowing like water with each strike and using her movements to direct the blade towards her target. Magic Offensive- Fire, Water Support- Cure Other stuff Battle Theme: - Melia's greatest fear is that of being alone and lost without a way to go. She also had this fear before she started exploring with her parents as she sometimes thought that they might not return. This fear has manifested again as without her parents to guide her, she feels lost within The Ever. - Melia has a thing for sweets and always carried a little baggy of caramel wherever she went, just in case she got a craving. - The name of her mother and father, Julia and Leonhard, are etched into the hilt of her scimitar to remember them by.

Hey, I recently got a new phone and for some reason I can't get my original Discord account. Could someone reinvite me to the chat? My new username is Windy, number is #8456.

With a mighty crash, the large tree had fallen on the beaver battlefield. When the dust cleared, Sienna let out a breath of relief, nobody had been caught in the falling tree. Everybody seemed ok for the most part, save for a few bites and scratches from the beavers. Sienna transformed back into her human form and put her beaststone away before regrouping with everyone at the tree. "It appears that our crossing will not be as difficult as before." Catriona stated as she got up onto the tree, that had apparently cleared the gap for everyone to cross the river. Once everyone was patched up, the group crossed the river and continued along their journey, eventually coming across a path that had signs of travel, a welcome sight as that meant civilization nearby. Along this path, Sienna noticed that her fellow fox was acting strange, especially when she bumped into her and stumbled around. "Hey... Are you ok?" Unfortunately, Licorice didn't give an answer as she transformed and ran off. "Licorice..." she couldn't help but worry for her friend. "Er, this might sound strange but...can your kind get...rabies?" Sienna gave Gunther a worried look and rushed ahead of the group before stopping at a signpost. She could see buildings in the distance but Licorice was nowhere to be seen. "Where did you go?" she mumbled to herself in a worried tone. Her ears shot up and her attention was taking away by a loud roar that came from the village further ahead. "What the..."

Sienna had managed to barely dodge the jaws of the ravenous beaver and stood at the ready, baring her teeth at the aquatic rodent. Though no amount of intimidation was going to work, as the beaver was already preparing to pounce on her again. However, the fox protean was ready this time, and she shot a fireball right at beaver. Her aim was true and the fireball slammed into the beaver, sending it careening into the river, emerging seconds later to float down the river's current. Sienna couldn't tell if she had scorched it to death or simply knocked it out, but it was finally done, no more ravenous beaver... For her and Catriona anyway. She remained in her transformed state and looked over at the others to see how they were faring, only to see Link limping over to her and Cat, blood still dripping from his lower leg. The thought then struck her, looking down at her front paw, she had nearly forgotten about the injury to it. Realizing the pain was still there now that she was out of trouble, she lifted it up so as not to put pressure on it, blood dripped from the hole the beaver's teeth had left. If that beaver had bitten down any harder she might've lost the use of her hand. Shaking back to her senses, she looked to Link and then back to Catriona. "Now what?" she said.

Sienna seemed to be on the verge of tears, she's been bashed on the head by an axe, shot at, slashed at by bandits, but it felt as if her hand would tear off if the beaver was pulled anymore. Thankfully, the rodent did eventually let go, leaving behind a bloody indention in her hand. There might as well be a hole in her hand, that bight hurt more than anything, well... Maybe not as much as an axe in the head, but still. There wasn't a moment to relax though, as the beaver had changed its attention to Catriona. It had pounced on her, biting into the young leader's leg. Sienna was still wincing in pain from the bite wound on her hand, but she wasn't about to let her friend get mauled like she did. Transforming, using her normal firestone, Sienna bared her fangs and lunged at the beaver's neck. It seemed like she hit her mark, but she quickly slipped off the beaver's body, almost biting the leg of the person she was trying to help. She stopped herself in time before she could though and stepped back. "U-uh, sorry!" she said quickly before turning towards the beaver, who had hopped off of Catriona's leg in the confusion. This beaver must have woken up on the wrong side of the dam, as it was already jumping towards Sienna for another attack. She dodged to the side, hoping the aggressive hellspawn of a beaver couldn't change its trajectory in the air.

Never before would Sienna had thought that beavers... Beavers, of all creatures, could prove a nuisance to her and the others. Who knew beavers were so territorial to the point that they would attack armed and armored men and women. Nonetheless, a threat is a threat, and these beavers had to be dealt with. Gunther had gotten surrounded across the river, but had seemingly calm the beavers, minus one that was attacking him at the moment. There was something funny about it, a big armored knight being assaulted by a overgrown rodent. Sounds like the start of a classic adventure tale. Shaking the thought from her head, Sienna had her own beaver to deal with, one she had hoped to simply scare away with a quick transformation, the beaver was surprisingly quick. It had leaped up and had bitten down on her hand, causing the protean girl to yelp in pain. It felt as if her hand was being crushed between two sharp rocks. "Get off her!" Sienna heard Catriona shout as she rushed to her side. She had grabbed the beaver and was trying to pull the rodent off Sienna, much to the protean's discomfort as this just seemed to agitate the beaver even more. Possibly out of pain, or just not wanting to harm Catriona in some way, Sienna refrained from transforming, and resorted to simply bashing the beaver over the head with her beaststone. "Get off! Get off!!" she cried in pain.

Persona huh? Sounds like fun.
