Arkain chuckles feeling you giving  Zearo a chance to get ahead to make the chase more interesting. "That's a yes it is to both. I have to admit my hunger has been a bit more intense since we have been together. " He chuckles. "Trust me. It isn't easy. I have often wanted too, especially when I have been REALLY hungry that takes alot of self control." His growls a bit. He chuckles. "Wait till the thrill of the hunt really make my hunger kick in especially  when acquiring more magic is part of the prize ."<br/><br/>Arkain chuckles. "Sure No problem. I look forward to showing you how my natural camouflage makes the hunt so much more interesting. I am always interested in trying something new my friend."<br/><br/>Arkain relaxes his mind letting your mind take control. He follows along watching with great interest. He feels you searching about for something. He is a bit baffled when he found what you were looking for was the remains of your former body. Maybe there was something you wanted to show me before it was totally digested away. What what he found even stranger is you didn't want the remains that were still inside them but something from you that was on a cellular level that had already become part of us. This was very strange.<br/><br/>He could feel you start to awaken something deep inside you. Cells that were dormant inside you he could feel you using our combined power to activate those cells. You were starting to shape us to a new form. Arkain starts to get nervous not liking the idea of loosing control of his body. "Marcus, what are you doing?"<br/><br/>He tries to figure out a way to stop you but you have used his energy and taken control. He can't stop you. He starts to feel his body grow and change. What are you doing? He delves deep into your mind trying to understand whats happening to our body. He suddenly understand whats is going on. You are a shape shifter and you are changing shape.<br/><br/>He stops resisting the change and lets it happen. He even helps you dig deeper for more energy especially when he starts to feel the power of our new body. He grins looking at our skin. He can see red and silver feathers start to cover his body. "OOohhh, I like it. Hey I remember seeing these feathers now. It was you. When you landing in the watering hole."<br/><br/>"Ooohhh yes, please do." The joy that flowed through our body when he actually felt you stretch out your wings was multiplied a hundred times by the pure joy of Arkain felt feeling our muscle move our huge wings. His greatest dream is to be able to fly. He is flown with others but never under his own power and we are actually doing it. It was a dream come true. He could barely contain his emotion.<br/><br/>"You have no idea how long I have longed to be able to do this, Markus." He joins you making a roar of joy that shook the ground when he feels our muscles pump our wings lifting us steadily off the ground. He pumps our wings lifting our body higher. It all felt so natural. He grins feeling the air flow over his body. He does several quick dips to one side then the other letting out a roar of joy with each turn. He stretches out our wings letting the air currents carry us.<br/><br/>He feels his stomach growl. He too sees the purple dragon off in the distance. "I do believe I see our dinner. You ready?"  He lets out a yee haw when you tuck our wings and dive down towards the watering hole then level out a few feet off the top of the water. He grins when you let out a hungry roar when we start to close in on Zearo. He feels you keep Zearo off to our left side making his only escape route being into the forest.<br/><br/>Arkain knows with their larger winged form it will make negotiating around the trees tricky but he focuses his thoughts letting Marcus feel his uncanny natural ability he has to weave his way around trees. He loves to use the strength of his powerful legs and his long tail to help him to leap between trees. When the trees are just right, he is able build up enough combined speed of leaps and jumps he is moving fast enough is almost able to fly between the trees. Arkain reassures Markus. "Trust our instinct getting around the trees. Together we can do this. We are not going to loose him, trust me. Trust us."<br/><br/>((It was an awesome post. I greatly enjoyed it.))<img alt=":-D" src="./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif" title="Very Happy"/>
