We are stars; any - Tähti - 04-14-2018 Tähti we are Stars, wrapped in skin the Light you are searching has always been Within RE: We are stars; any - Demi - 04-23-2018 Demi Arriving in the land late one summer night, my family took refuge in the mountains of Hyaline. A darkness had spread once again in the kingdom bordering Loess and mother couldn't take the thought of it leaking into their home. I did not know the extent of my mother's worry but I am young and do not question my parents. The journey was short. Loess and Hyaline shared borders and similar landscapes so it made little difference to me. I took to my nightly form, the owl. Shifting these days grew more effortless and quickly my knowledge grew of just how vast my powers were. When we finally arrived and settled into the lands, I began to explore. It was easy for me to sneak about as a song bird or dark raven. None would suspect me being anything more than a nosey buzzard. Daylight kissed the edges of the cragged structures against the horizon. I awoke early as always. Before my parents could stop me and before my twin could slow me down. I leapt forwards with four hooves and before they landed I have shifted. My form mimicks avian creatures I have seen before. So today I choose the falcon. I am quick. My lightened bulk moved easy about the lands and to those below, I am nothing more than a pin prick in the sky. My vision though is sharp and one eye an eerie red. This is the only part of me that remains the same in any of my forms. Dad never adimtted it but the hue of my ruby eye always set him uneasy. My view from above is wide and I watch for anything of interest to me. Horses grazing in the grassy fields peaked little inside me, but a tiny dark form trailing off near where I had shifted catches my attention. I dive from the azure skies and dip into a nearby tree. My ruby eye trained on the young winged foal. My wings ruffle at my sides as my head tilts to better my view. I watch as the filly seems to be looking for something but I do not make my presence obvious. The dull brown and greys of my plumage blending me into my surroundings... Legends & Myths @[Táhti] feeling my bird shifter out she's curious and if it's not clear, she is a peregrine falcon now. https://www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/images/fw-peregrinehorizt.jpg RE: We are stars; any - Tähti - 04-26-2018 Tähti we are Stars, wrapped in skin the Light you are searching has always been Within @[Demi] I am sort of assuming the falcon still smells vaguely of horse, let me know if I need to change that. RE: We are stars; any - Demi - 05-01-2018 Demi I do not often transform into my equine body. I find it mundane to be quite honest. Very little interested me in remaining a hoofed mammal when I could take to the endless skies. Leaving the trivial world behind. Something though was intriguing about meeting one with similar abilities as mine. Horse but yet a little more. Inside I smile at this fact(as I have a beak of course). I listen as she tempts me into a childish game. I hadn't had much of a childhood and found her innocence refreshing. The dark girl meanders about below me and I leap from my original perch. As I do so my shape shifts from the multi-colored falcon to a more equipped tree dweller, a raven. This avian was one of my first forms I had mastered transforming into. Often abundant and quite easy to mimic, the raven was cunning and swift. Also I may have chose it for its matching hue to the winged filly wanting to engage in a game. I find another branch closer to where the equine had traveled. Hovering overhead as she searches, a slight sigh escaping her lips in frustration. Not wanting to deter the girls interest, I dive from the tree canopy and flutter down to land upon the fillies back(between her wings). My head tilts to examine her with my crimson eye, but I do not say anything. I find myself unable to speak words in my shifted forms(at least for now I haven't mastered it). My birdie head nods as my wings unfurl in response. A crisp caw escapes my vocals and I thrust my light body upwards. Coming around in front of the filly and remaining low to the ground as if attempting to get her to chase me... Legends & Myths @[Tahti] tag? RE: We are stars; any - Tähti - 05-02-2018 Tähti we are Stars, wrapped in skin the Light you are searching has always been Within @[Demi] Tag works with an ä (2 dots on it) which you'll get by "+a. I guess last post you didn't use the shift bar and made an á instead. Or just copy; [Tähti] RE: We are stars; any - Demi - 05-02-2018 Demi It doesn't take me long to coax the girl into a game of tag. Surely all knew this game and at one point in their lives, partook in the simple joy it gave you. Even adults could be seen in its innocent chases. My wings spread and with rhythmic movements I propel forwards. Occasionally glancing back with my crimson eye to ensure I am still being followed, but not to closely of course. Finding the dark filly flapping her wings and bounding forwards happily, I take that as game on! The scattered forests of Hyaline dot the landscape between dips and rises in the terrain. Surrounding them had been barren deciduous trees, leafs having recently shed as the weather shifted. My focus shifts back to the path I had set upon. Dodging low hanging branches and tree trunks with precision that I have only acquired with practice. Soon I see a break in the confines of the vegetation. Excitement causes me to accelerate my flight... As the forest thins to reveal open sky I begin my ascend into the atmosphere. My incline is drastic, and I force myself to work against the gravity trying to pull me back to earth. Knowing the winged girl would be quickly at my tail feathers, I attempt to gain as much height as possible. This was no task for the raven. No, this was a job for the peregrine falcon... Along my climb into the sky, I twist into an upward barrel roll. What fun was shifting if you couldn't do it with some flare? Half-way into my fifth roll, my body transforms and heading into the sixth roll, I spread my wing span wide to stall my movement further up. My head is leveled to look below me and locate my playmate. Hoping to find her not far off. I allow the updraft of wind to glide me gently at nearly a hover as I look at my new friend. I screech happily before turning my view back to the earth below. A one-sided smirk could reveal my next move. One more quick glance towards the winged horse and I fold my wings to my side. Allowing my body the fall like a rain drop from the clouds above. I hold no resistance against the air that envelopes us, so quickly I fall. Much quicker than any other creature on earth. I figure this game of chase has become unfair to my friend. As I near the soil, once again, I release my wings from my sides. Slowing me to a soft flight. I look for a suitable landing spot. The turn of my head reveals to me a stump of a tree lost long ago. Talons outreach to grasp the wood and I settle atop of it with a ruffle to my wings. I have never tried this before, but I use the blueprint of Tahtis' form to shift now. Where once perched a small avian, a russet and white, spotted filly emerges. Her front half that of a pinto and back half of an appaloosa, but she retains one features she was not naturally born having. A symmetrical pair of russet spotted wings that resemble the raptors of the night, the owl. My equine head rises and with a twist I examine this form I have created. A pleased smile paints across my face. Just then I hear the incoming sound of the filly I had yet to give my name to. My natural eye finds her and extends a greeting, "Hello Tahti... My name is Demi." My eyes bright and nearly glowing in satisfaction, I wait for her to respond. Nearly forgetting we had been playing a game in which I was to be tagged... Legends & Myths lol I cant figure it out on the keyboard. So I am assuming they are the same age(almost 1)...? And she only shifts into things she has seen so far, so I wanted to fit it in that she just shifts bird wings in her horse form so she can be like Tahti RE: We are stars; any - Tähti - 05-06-2018 Tähti we are Stars, wrapped in skin the Light you are searching has always been Within @[Demi] Yes, Tähti was born last spring (march in RL). RE: We are stars; any - Demi - 05-07-2018 Demi The new found form a Pegasus horse intrigues me. It was a nice medium between both worlds. I ruffle the white and golden feathers at my sides as the filly nears with a quick pace and smile at my name. I don't think twice about being tagged. I nearly have forgotten the game we had set out on. That is until the dark girl reaches for me and steps away with the classic chanting of words. I giggle as my fore hooves lift off the ground in a half rear. My painted face tucking to my chest and wings unfolding into a fan of feathers. My light tail whips at my hunches and I push off into a gallop. Following in Tahti's tracks with a challenge escapeing my vocals, "Not for long!" My hooves eat up the ground as my avian appendages flap at my sides. Gripping at the atmosphere and lifting me gently into the air. Each stroke of my rounded wings bring me closer to my dark friend. Though my wings are made for stealth and not speed, I manage to keep up. Using my silent flight to my advantage I attempt to sneak up on Tahti and tag her on the rump. Laughing as I exit my chase, I look to the lake centered in the kingdom. I shout to my friend, "Watch this!" My Pegasus form begins to rise into the sky slightly to position myself over the water source. I hover for a moment and my red eye looks to see that my friend is watching before I tuck my wings a fall towards the lake. My fore limbs outstretch and my hind limbs curl underneath me. I hold this position until, just feet from the reflective surface, my body shifts into a sea bird and I plunge into the cool waters. My wings now serve as fins and propel me deeper into the waters. A trail of air bubbles show my path from above. Soon my breath runs out and I resurface. Bobbing along the ripple of waves I had created from my impact. My webbed feet paddle me about as I wait for my friend to join me. If she wasn't opposed to getting wet of course... Legends & Myths @[Tahti] RE: We are stars; any - Tähti - 05-13-2018 Tähti we are Stars, wrapped in skin the Light you are searching has always been Within @[Demi] Sorry I’m late (: Tähti is moving to Nerine though, so I think maybe we should finish it? RE: We are stars; any - Demi - 05-16-2018 Demi I am floating along in my sea bird form when suddenly I hear a whiz above me. My red eyes upturns to see my friend plummeting from the skies. I brace for the impact and just as suspected there is a turbulence of waves when the filly lands onto the crystalline surface. I roll atop the white cap of such a wave and when it levels I shift into my equine form. Laughter expels from my lips as I paddle with slender legs. The cool aqua soaks my strawberry and cream hide as I approach the surface and find my footing on solid ground. Eve was quickly approaching with the sun teasing the skyline. They have spent the day playing and time has gotten away from them, "Oh my... Its getting late Tahti. We better head home before our parents gets worried." I stand on the greenery of the land, allowing my neck to crane and look upon the filly. A smile apparent on my maw. "I'll see you around friend," no more than a flicker of feathers and I am my raptor of the night, taking off into the darkness of the trees... Legends & Myths @[Tahti] done! |
