curiosity killed the cat || any - Dahmer - 12-14-2017 CURIOSITY KILLED THE CAT & SATISFACTION BROUGHT HIM BACK He is slowly familiarizing himself with the crimson and gold forests of Sylva, with its dark shadows and immense boulders that dot the landscape haphazardly. It's different here than in Tephra ─ cooler, less humid, and it lacks the familiar scent of sulfur. It has its own appeal though, what with the crisp scent of leaves frozen between life and death, and (what he hopes) will be protection from snowfall in the winter beneath the entangled, dense canopy. On occasion his heart aches for the volcanic island and the safety he had always known it to offer, but it's easy to quell the melancholy when Ellyse is nearby. She is his true home, after all. The sun's rays are more intense than usual today and the black beast has taken to the deeper shadows where the branches intertwine like gnarled arms. Dahmer is unsure what he seeks here in the depths of Sylva ─ perhaps a cave, a hidden water basin, a mythical creature of the forest ─ but thus far, his search has been fruitless. He sighs gently, quietly, and raises his dark head so that glacial blue eyes can search through the red and orange leaves overhead. He shifts quickly, ebony coat making way for glinting, iridescent feathers as his frame transforms from equine to avian. Dahmer spreads his wings and leaps from the dark forest floor, landing on a few of the lower hanging branches so that they sway beneath the weight of him. His beady blue eyes watch the undergrowth contentedly and, while times seems to pass slowly, the new General of the golden forest never grows bored. He's surprised when the sound of hooves, accented by the crack of tiny branches, breaks the silence of the denser forest and when the equine appears between the trees below him, Dahmer cocks his raven head to the side and adjusts his weight to move to a lower branch. "I had not expected to see anyone else here," he muses quietly, by way of greeting. Dahmer RE: curiosity killed the cat || any - Klaudius - 12-26-2017 Klaudius I was just born this amazing @[Dahmer] so Karaugh had a raven that saved her from Pangea and when Klaudius was born it followed him everywhere. So he thinks that Dahmer is the Raven from his childhood XD RE: curiosity killed the cat || any - Dahmer - 12-30-2017 CURIOSITY KILLED THE CAT & SATISFACTION BROUGHT HIM BACK The dark navy of a very early morning barely shines through the golden canopy, but it's still easy to see the glint of purple in the intruder's coat and in the feathers of his wings. Dahmer is curious, avian head still tilted to the side as the lavender stallion comes to a halt beneath him, incredulous that the raven had spoken to him. Dahmer's pupils narrow in their blue pools as he adjusts his hold on the branch beneath him, making it waver again in the early dawn. "Yes, I suppose I can," the king of Sylva offers in return, his voice a mixture of amusement and confusion. Beqanna is full of shifters ─ foxes, bears, birds, wolves, wildcats ─ but perhaps this purple thing has yet to venture across any of them? Dahmer drops from the branch then, his dark feathered body morphing as he hits the pine-needled earth and growing rapidly into his equine form. His obsidian frame blends into the morning shadows, but his hard blue eyes are bright as they watch the winged lavender stallion. "My name is Dahmer," he offers flatly to his newest acquaintance, nostrils fluttering in an attempt to place the stranger's scent. He smells of brine, but there is no hint of sulfur, nor had the black beast come across the other during his time in Tephra. "Is there something that I could help you with?" He is straight to the point, though not unkind. Many of Sylva's previous residents had left when he and Ellyse had taken the throne, perhaps to follow Gryffen or to start a new path, and Dahmer has let it fester in the back of his mind as of late that he will need to gather an army sooner rather than later.
