What Valarinth didn't know was that Tyr was--in spirit at least hovering over her just a few feet away. He forced himself to choke back a laugh as he heard her asking if he could teach.<br/><br/>"What? The coward?" he said, his voice would have been audible even if his form wasn't always. "Him teaching without me, I've got to see this."<br/><br/>He appeared directly in front of Valarinth.<br/><br/>"He's in the library, hiding behind one of the shelves."<br/><br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/><br/>Carnassus breathed the fumes from the leaf he'd burned deeply and tossed some of the contents of the bag on the fire. He let himself naturally shift back into his lycan form before releasing his held breath. After the smoke rose and he felt the warmth from it, he noticed immediately something was wrong. His Lycan form had not stopped changing once he reached it.<br/><br/>He realized that the leaf he burned must have been more potent than what he was used to. Frightened, he held on to his humanity with every fiber of his being. It took all of his strength to keep from going any further.<br/><br/>His only hope was to make it to the nurse and somehow explain what happened without changing somewhere along the way. He slung his cloak over his shoulder and started walking towards the school. He tried to hide himself whenever he passed someone, but someone was bound to stop and ask what was wrong and if he stopped, that was going to be the last word for him at this school.
