Thread: Genie, I got your number: Nasim  (WhiteTiger &  Friend in the Shadows)

While Nasim was busy helping the villagers from the burning buildings, Alizar kept himself busy taking out a few more of the raiders while Vex both scouted the area and provided extra slashes from his claws. After every bandit was dead and the townsfolk safe, Alizar gave a cracker to Vex and his mate. As Nasim finished with the villagers and came back to his side, he smiled back to her, but his smile faded when she asked her question. That's what I want to know! Vex replied looking to his master for an answer. Those guys weren't like your normal robbers. They didn't bother to strip any bodies, they didn't try to take hostages or slaves, they didn't even bother to look for valuables in any of the houses! He added, his wings spread wide as he spoke. I don't think they were after money or slaves. Alizar replied, his eyes looking over at the few bodies that still remained. I think we need to get back to the castle. I have a bad feeling about what's going on. Tell me my lady is this bird you've created capable of speech or any other abilities? If not, I should invest her with some. I'm sure that Vex would like to have someone to talk to. Whatca mean boss? I've got you and sweet cheeks there! Of more pressing concern is you filling her in about yourself! If sweet thing here is going to be a standard feature with us, then she needs to know the ground rules of what's happening! Vex replied, his wings spreading out as he spoke. Alizar blinked a little in response before his mind clicked back in. Yes, of course. She's been locked away for so long that she may not realize what's changed since the last time she was free. He said with a slight nodding of his head. And sweet thing probably came from some far off land boss! She needs the grand tour! But we've got no time for that, so you'll just have to give her a quick run down. I'll start ya off! Vex added before turning his head to face Nasim. Okay sweet thing, this here is only the bare outskirts of boss man's Kingdom! Well, his fathers, but you get what I mean. Now, we've got trees and forest older than any book can tell! There's lots of places for a guy to while away the day fishing, plenty of open space to grow food, and enough cities to get drunk in that you can't keep track! Alizar placed a single finger over the birds beak to prevent him from saying any more. I'm the second son, and thus don't really have much chance at getting to be on the throne. I'd rather not get into my family details right now, if that's alright with you. We need to get going. The castle will be several days away, even by the fastest travel to us. He said before turning his head towards Vex. The hawk blinked, nodded and left his shoulder, flying off to just the side of them. Alizar made a quick movement with his hand, causing the air in front of him to light up with strange glowing words and symbols. A moment later and the spell was finished, the magical energy streaking out and engulfing Vex in brilliant blue light. Another moment passed as Vex's body began to grow, his wing span becoming huge as he landed. Well, are you two just going to stand there or not? Come on, sweet thing! You rode boss man, time you ride me! Vex said to her, his voice having become fuller as his vocal cords had grown along with the rest of his form.
