8 - [Action]

[winds_voice]

[If your character is lucky, they might spot a new creature in the skies for a few days. It seems that while Eleytheria has been staying in the mountains, he has discovered that he can in fact change his shape. However, his shape-shifting ability is not as free as he would have liked. Even so, he is glad to be able to use a more familiar body.

You'll find a gold and white dragon, serpent-like and graceful, circling over the village and the forest and leaving a breeze in his wake. While ordinarily this dragon would possess four small feathered wings, in Luceti he now has an extra pair - the pair that render him vulnerable. While he might be large and perhaps intimidating to some, Eley possesses no altered powers in this form and is purely enjoying an aesthetic difference. It brings him closer to his spiritual origins and reminds him of home... He had spent so long as a human now, perhaps this was what he needed. A chance to find a little freedom even if in this enclosure it didn't seem like much.

The dragon will be resting in various spots around the forest and mountains and just outside the village too, giving the people of Luceti a chance to approach if they wish.]

(OOC: Eley dragon will be here for a few days~ He won't be doing anything in particular since, save from flying, his powers are the same as usual, but if you want your character to go poke him then go for it! Also I have a WIP reference here. Sorry, no icons, you'll have to use your imagination. ): )

[His stray word gets no kind of response that Eley can notice. He moves his head back again now, still watching warily. Perhaps if he was to lie down he might appear less threatening. He does so, trying to appear more relaxed.

He'll try once again, just in case.]

If there is a human here then you may show yourself. I will not harm you unless you give me reason to. If not... I am a fool. I may as well leave this place.

[Did not Glaurung speak sweetly before it destroyed Turin and all that he held dear? Do I think myself better than that hero of old, that I might face a dragon and live? And yet...]

I am here, beast.

[winds_voice]

['Beast'? Apparently he was a monster to this man. He looked almost offended by the tone of that word, but took a few steps back to give him space should he emerge.]

I am no rabid beast. I am a Wind Spirit and a god among my people. Again, I wish you no harm. You may not know it, but we have already met.

[elessar_telcontar]

[A god? He had heard of dark cults in the east that worshipped dragons, but they were few and by most tellings mad]

I would recall meeting a dragon, beast. I have seen dragons in the northern mountains, but not met them.

[winds_voice]

...you misunderstand.

[He speaks again with a shake of his head.]

When we first met I did not take this form. You had only just arrived. We met atop a hill near the village while you had not yet found clothing or shelter.

[He stretches out his wings - white with gold tips, the same colour that Eleytheria's would have been when in human form.]

Do you remember? You asked why the people had wings.

[elessar_telcontar]

[Golden tips to the white wings: those were familiar, though he has never seen the like on a dragon.]

On the hill above the village... but that was a man, or something shaped like a man. You can... change your form? Are you a man disguised as a dragon, or was the shape of a man the disguise?

[winds_voice]

[The dragon nods his head.]

I can change my form. I am actually a Spirit and in truth I would have no form at all. However this form is the one I normally take in my home world when interacting with humans on a more physical level. The human form... that is something that was granted to me when I was taken here. I would not have chosen it otherwise.

I feel that I will not be able to assume the form of a dragon for too long at a time, however. The Malnosso hampers our abilities and it already took great effort to change in the first place.
