(Since first person seems to be allowed I will switch to that haha)<br/><br/>I was still trying to figure out why the old man had sent me here when I heard a voice ask<span style="font-style: italic"> â€œHey, are you here because of a talking animal?â€</span>. I turned around and noticed a woman and what looked like a sixteen or seventeen year old girl. They both seemed slightly confused. I sighed, took a deep breath and was immediately hit by the smell of magic. I stumbled backwards a few steps from its intensity. I couldnâ€™t believe I hadnâ€™t noticed it before.<br/><br/>I studied the two girls closely. The smell was coming from both of them. I took another tentative whiff and realized that the smell coming from them was not only magic but shifter magic. The smell of shifter magic was only powerful before and right after a shifterâ€™s first shift. Either these two had just shifted for the first time or were extremely close to doing so. The odd thing was that people were born shifters and a childâ€™s first shift was around thirteen, at the start of puberty. Both of these two were well past that age. I took one more whiff and decided that they had not had their first shifts yet. That was indeed strange. I had never heard of the first change coming so late in a shifters live.<br/><br/>As much I hated the thought I would need to help them. I hated helping people unless it benefited me but if I didnâ€™t help them their first shift could be painful, not impossible just uncomfortable. In a community of shifters the first shift was easy, magic was given by others in the community to help the new shifter along so the shift was fast and painless. Maybe this was my part of the quest. Helping the new shifters, shift for the first time. I hoped that was it. If it was I could do my job fast and get gone. I crossed my fingers and let out a long sigh. Finally setting my mind to it I began walking towards the two girls.<br/><br/>â€œWhen I was told that I would be going on a quest I didnâ€™t think my informer meant a babysitting quest,â€ I growled in annoyance as I made my way over to the two. I stopped in front of them and clasped my hands behind my back. I scanned them both and decided that they wouldnâ€™t be a threat. â€œSo would one of you tell me what this is all about because frankly I would rather not have to spend more time here than is required.â€
