Thread: White Rose Withering [TakodaVega x Dies Irae]

Nettle stood on a thick branch of a large oak tree nearby the place he had been led to, a rather dank building, it looked like it was abandoned but then that was never the case. He suspected some kind of bounty was there, perhaps Rose's rat she was looking for. The winds blew softly around him, his hair picking up and swaying in the breeze, this night was going to be interesting, once he had completed his scout of the building he would wait for his cycle to be complete before venturing inside to look. Perhaps if he could find out what was going on within those walls he could sneak in under the guise of someone who would go there. Yes that plan would work well, he just need the information about the buildings deeper purpose first. Rose, why would you be here he whispered, a soft deep tone emanating from his lips as he jumped to the foot of the tree silently, crouching low and moving quickly to the edge of the building, hidden in the shadows he looked through the windows slowly looking for any sign of what went on inside. There we're people, lots of them, they seemed to carry whips and shackles with them, possibly mercenaries or perhaps squatters taking shelter. His mind crossed the thought of traders but Rose would never be caught dead in the presence of a trader. He continued scouting the building after concluding the men were either mercs, squatters or less likely the traders. His eyes scanned the roof for entry points, no vents or windows he could sneak in through, no he would have to pretend to be whatever the hell those men were. He heard a faint sound coming from inside, his ears listened carefully, someone was yelling at another, with the language he guessed it was a woman...his eyes widened as that thought crossed his mind, his face showed the apparent shock of the realization...Rose he said softly knowing she was in their, knowing she was the one being yelled at. HIs anger began rising as he looked at the wall, he would get in there, yes he would get Rose and then leave, he had to do that. Nettle walked away from the building, going over the various thoughts racing through hi mind. Rose had been captured or was in an argument, two possibilities that would end badly for her and the person she was with. In the darkness Nettle's shadow faded until it was out of sight, he was going to hide away for his transformation, he would not save Rose using the power of the full moon, no he needed his accuracy and agility not brute force. In the shadows of the night, Nettles howling began to cross across the fields, his body began to change, bones cracked and broke themselves, as they did they changed and snapped themselves back into place, his eyes changed color to a strong gold, he had often puzzled it, his eyes were blue as a human but when he changed they turned gold, like his lupine form was matured and his human still young. At the end of his change, his loudest howl rang out across the nearby places, a howl of pain as the final bones took their place. His body covered in fur, he stood taller, reaching almost 7'5' in his full stance. His eyes scanned the cave he had sheltered himself in. He left quickly, Nettle was hungry, Nettle wanted to eat something. In an instance he caught the scent of a deer nearby, his powerful limbs moving him quickly to the location. The deer never knew its fate before his fangs dug into its flesh, his claws gripping its throat and crushing its neck in his grip. He had fed on the carcass until he was full, leaving it picked clean he continued moving around, his small control keeping him nearby the building Rose was in, but other than that his lupine form was in full control, killing animals and destroying small shacks built in the fields. He was rampaging, Nettle was in a blood lust that would last for hours, his howls ringing across the plains like lightning strikes as he did. Nettle would be normal at sunrise, but that was still hours away.
