Hello!
Howzit going?
Ready for another chapter?
Yes? Ok then!
~Voron POV~
"Oh brother where are you..."
"Huh.You've been talking a lot more lately.."said a known voice
"...*sigh*...so?"
"So..what has happened?"
"Well ,Jack, as you probably know Xen is nowhere to be found and i am trying to find some tracks that could lead me to him."
"Then, can i help you?"
"Yeah,that would be appreciated ."
"Ok so when do we start searching?"said Jack getting his stuff ready.
"Tonight."
"Tonight??"he said surprised."But we are not allowed to hunt at that hour."
"So what? I need to find my brother! And i have a feeling that our Golden friend up there can help me with that." i said while pointing at the location where the cave would be.As i say that i go to my wardrobe and get my best armor.A full set of Chameleos armor with a Chameleos long sword.
"What ,are we going to fight the beast?" said Jack surprised."You only put that armor on when you are serious about a fight.."
"No. But it is just in case."
Yes i do put it on when its getting serious but it was just in case the monsters think of battling us.So might aswell be prepared.Xen and i fought 2 Chameleoses to get this armor and he gave it to me.
~Star POV~
I wake up beside Zenix,coiled around me wich kept me warm.It was so good.His golden scales were shining in the moonlight and his mini-wings appeared to be growing as well,they were now half the size of the first pair. His wings are giving me a warm feeling in my stomach.The mating season isn't too far with it just being less then a month away.I then hear him saying something in his sleep.It sounded like he was trying to run away from something or rather trying to catch something,i was not sure.What i was sure about though is that he looked cute doing it...After a while he whispered my name in his sleep so i decided to go back to sleep so he would not wake up.
A few hours pass...
~Voron POV~
"Wow this was a long path...*huff* *huff*" said Jack.
"Yeah, *huff* we should rest a bit...Hey,look ! Thats an odd looking leaf...?.."i said a little confused.
"Ok,lets rest under it.It is windy around here."
But as we were about to lay under it it suddenly dissapeard into the other leafs.
"What the?"Jack mutters surprised.
"I don't think that was a leaf Jack..." i say a little freaked out."From here it looks like a-"i don't even get to finish my sentence when a long tongue comes out of the leafs and goes right for Jack.
"Jack! Look out!" i shout pushing him aside but it took me instead.After that it retracted in the woods taking me aswell.
"Voroooon!!!"Jack yelled trying to come after me but got slapped by something invisible.
"Wow.Great.Just great."I was still being dragged with that long tongue to a den lower in the mountain. The tongue streched to cover more of me since it was slippery and made my long sword fall off into the distance.Probably off the cliff too. I then found myself at the back of a cave.
"Now what...my long sword is long gone,and if this is a Chameleos,wich im sure it is by the looks of that long tounge,im screwed."i say as i was put gently down for some reason.
"Okay...This is weird". Then a small-ish Chameleos became visible before my eyes.Well it wasn't baby-small but not that big since i fought bigger ones. It then started to sniff at my armor,and then lick it..
This is the first time this happend to me but i am thankfull he or she did not eat me.
Then a scale dropped off its skin onto the ground.It was shining like a newly sharpened weapon.The Chameleos then yawned and took me with its hands and started to sleep.
An hour passes.
Ok,this is the weirdest Chameleos i have ever seen.By now it would have killed me,i know that too well.Then i turned my attention to the scale that dropped off of it. It just looked beautifull. So I try to grab it and with in mere seconds it sticks to my hand.
"What the heck?"
I try to wiggle it off but can't and notice that other scales started forming on my hand.Ok this is getting weirder by the minute.I then started to feel a pain in my forehead . My forehead started to get longer eventually forming into a big horn.There was one feeling to describe that:Ow.It seems that i was undergoing a transformation,a loud one to be exact,but the other Chameleos was out cold and did not wake up,so thats a plus.
Then my leggings start to crumble untill they eventually break causing my newly formed tail to become visible.After that my eyes feel like they got bigger causing my vision to blur ending up in me falling unconscious..
~Jack POV~
"Wait...wha-what happened..?" i ask myself.As i open my eyes i suddenly remember about Voron and our search for Xen.
"Now i remember...we were going to rest under that weird leaf...why on earth did we wamt to rest there?"then i remembered about Voron being dragged by a tongue in the leafs.
"Oh gods, Voron! Voron!Where are you!?"i started yelling out loud.
I run through the forest only to find his long sword at the edge of the cliff.
"Oh no...thats not good."
Meanwhile at the Chameleos cave
~Voron POV~
"Oww...my head..." said as i woke up.When i opened my eyes they seemed weird.I could hardly see anything becouse of the cave but my vision clarified after a short while.
"You are awake."i hear a voice out of nowhere.
"Um who is that?"
"Guess who?"as the voice continued talking,it gave up a hint of feminism.
"Uhh i do not know..."i respond even more curious.
"The one that saved you from that hunter perhaps?"
Wait if what she said was true ,he was talking to the Chameleos that kidnapped him.I am talking to a monster.Am i dead?
"Oh.Uhm...thanks?"
"You're welcome."
Then i have a realisation.If i am able to understand her words that means i either learned monster language or transformed into a Chameleos. I don't even know wich one to believe.I bolt out of the cave running to the water to see my reflection.
"Oh no i am a Chameleos..."
"Yeah,me too,what about that?"she said suddenly materializing out of nowhere.
"Whoa!" i shout with a small growl and then fall to the ground statled.That made the other Chameleos chuckle.
"Are you new around these parts?I haven't seen you around here."
"Neither have i."i respond but suddenly my mouth opens up with my tounge lounging up in the air.I suddenly become embaressed,but i do not know why.
I then got control of my tongue getting it back in my mouth.
"Well ,someone is hungry..."she said while approaching me.
"Eh,im not hungry."Right as i finish saying that my stomach rumbles.Wow,just wow.This just keeps better and better.
"I see your stomach beggs to differ.Wanna go hunting?.."
"Fine,i guess."What do i do now.I know this species ony eats bugs and meat.But as i think of meat i start to salivate but quickly swallowed it so that i wasn't noticed.
We finally found a herd of Aptonoth.When i spot the herd i turn to find the other Chameleos but she is nowhere to be found.Maybe she turned invisible.But somehow i feel her pressence around here.If she can camoflouge so well then why shouldn't i?
After thinking that i try and compress my energy into my scales and quickly dematerialized from vision.Now no one could see me.I could escape.But then thaught if i can sense her pressence then she surely can sense mine.So i came back to the hunt approaching an unsuspecting Aptonoth.
I instinctivley slashed at it with my claws and strangled it with my powerfull tongue.I didn't notice at first but we attacked simultaneously making the herd flee in many directions.
After that i started eating it.I should despise the taste and smell but somehow it felt normal to eat raw meat.
After getting full i got sleepy vibes from the air.Probably becouse i was tired.I instinctively coiled up in a ball of scales and tried to sleep making myself visible again.
When i finnaly started to fall asleep i hear some thumps beside me.
thump thump
I open my left eye to see the female Chameleos just standing down and staring at me untill eventually coiling up aswell beside me and falling asleep.Why was she beside me? Well i guess i couldn't complain,her body was warm and in that area the temperature wasn't exactly warm.
This was the weirdest day of my life.
Allright!
This.took.long.
I needed to think about what would happen next.So sorry for the late update.
See ya in the next one!
