Shyla moved quickly threw the rocks that lead to the monster of a master she had been bound to. Her eyes on the evil ruby necklace around her neck that forced her to be his dear little pet and puppet. It had been seven years since she had been taken from her own land and brought to the monster Rothbart. Her long red hair danced in the slight wind that blew as if it was a raging fire as her eyes shifted to the sky and soon filled with sadness. The animals of the lake would soon take their true form and now it was her turn to take her alternate form. She looked to the necklace as a red aura came from the ruby then engulfed her as she closed her eyes knowing the pain and sadness that was to come for her.

Where the tall slim pal figure had once stood. In the strange clothing for the people of the lake and the kingdom, with the metal bracers and blood soaked sword. Stood a beautiful phoenix. She open her eyes as they glowed a brilliant glowing red as she open her fiery wings and let out a scream. The scream could be heard from miles around as her long whip like tail feather came out in front of her as she stood there on the rocks looking rather agitated. She illuminated the cliffs and the forest around it from her light as she stood there and waited for Rothbart. One day he would pay for this his head would be on her mantel and she would rip her powerful talons threw him. She would next dismember his repulsive daughter next and she would enjoy every scream the girl made as she did so after all the evil things they had both did to her and made her do.


Blood ran threw the forest as he chased the sent. He let out a growl as he ran knowing the perpetrator was near. He smelt the strange sicking smell all about the forest and hated having to let him go as he looked to the sky and saw the moon rising. He let out a growl as he shook his head then turned suddenly and headed back to the lake. He ran at full speed enjoying every moment of the power and grace he had as he ran. There was nothing like having the ground under the pads of his paws and his claws digging in slightly. He felt alive about then as if he was on the hunt again for some enemy that dared to harm the king or the princesses. It made him almost feel human again though that was short lived as the smell came back to his nostrils making him want to chase after the perpetrator again.

He kept on track heading back to the lake as his human self began to come back to him. Scarlet was there in that lake some where and it was time for them to shift. He couldn't chase after the man and leave her there. She would never forgive him and he wouldn't forgive himself if anything happen to her while he want on what would in most cases end up a wild goose chase. He busted threw the forest as he appeared only a few yards from the lake. He headed for the rocks where his old uniform and armor laid as well as his sword waiting for him as he shifted into his human form. He quickly clothed himself and put his armor on, then lastly placing his sword back by his side as he made his way to the stump where the beautiful Scarlet sat.

He smiled as he gave the woman a bow. "Good evening my dear lady. Ravishing as always." He said as he smiled up at her then looked to the princess as he saw the look on her face and saw the others shifting. "Some have not woken up on the right side today have they?" He said in more of a statement than a question as he looked back to Scarlet and smiled.
