Shapeshifter Haven

"I'll have someone fix you something to eat then you must rest. You've had a rough few days" Hermes smiled, gently smoothing Raife's hair back

He spent a good hour or so taking scans and samples from her in her serpent form.

By the time he was done with what he was doing, Daudrie was getting antsy. She wanted out of this cage and out of this place. She was scared and stil in pain and now she was hungry too.

Apollo carefully lifted her out of the tank, firmly keeping her mouth pinned shut. He lay her on the bed, “feel free to turn back and we’ll see about food”

She turned back into a human when he had left her on the bed. There was still significant damage to her legs from the blade in her tale. She doubted she’d be able to walk any time soon. She refused to look at him. “So what do you have to eat?” She asked, glaring at the ground and hating that she had to get food from her captor. At least she didn’t have to beg.

“Hummus and crackers” he said simply, tending to her legs.

“Fine,” she said, still not pleased with this. At least he wasn’t just letting her injuries fester. She was disgusted with how helpless she felt right now.

He made sure she was secured to the bed before leaving and locking the room to fetch her food.

Daudrie ate the crackers silently while she watched him tend to her legs. It was painful and that showed on her face, but she was trying to hide exactly how painful it was. Finally she sighed. “Thank you,” she said. She may not like this god, but she appreciated that he was at least not letting her injuries get worse than they already were.

“Well we don’t want your legs falling off” Apollo shrugged. He cleared her plate away, leaving it by the door.

"Why not?" She asked. "I wouldn't be able to run away that way..." she didn't want to give him any ideas, but she was genuinely curious. She had been completely ready to let the hawk's arms fester. If she'd had her way he never would have been able to fly again.

“I’m not shifting for you,” she said, still shaking. “You can’t make me.” Something told her he would find a way to force her, but she wasn’t going to if she could help it.

“I’m sure I can” he smiled tightly, bringing out a needle with a purplish liquid in, “this can turn camouflage back, perhaps it will shift you”

Her eyes widened at the sight of the needle and she managed to back up until she hit the wall. “Stay away from me!” Despite her best efforts, he got the needle in her. The pain was instant. She screamed and writhed, but didn’t shift.

Apollo sighed in disappointment, watching the monitor and making a note of the findings. “Perhaps a higher dose?” He drew another needle and filled it with the liquid again

The needle went in a second time and this time the pain became blinding. This time she did begin to shift, but it wasn’t the comforting natural shift. This felt even worse that a falcon’s magical force-changing. It was downright painful and caused the cobra that appeared to look more than a little sickly. It was still writhing on the ground, connected to the monitor.

Apollo made a small sound, recording the results but leaving Daudrie alone for now, not wanting to cause any damage too early.

It took a while for the pain to wear off and for her to be able to shift back to human form. She was shaking when she did and she flinched every time Apollo moved.

Apollo watched the monitor and how the results differed. “Fascinating…”

She lay here watching him. Her heart beat slower than a human’s. And she was cold-blooded on top of that. This room was very cold right now and it was beginning to make thinking difficult. There was a reason the palace was kept warm, especially the bedrooms. The Dancer’s Nest was even warmer. She’d only been in there twice in her life and she’d loved it both times. She could dance, every serpiente could, but she wasn’t one of the famed dancers of her people. That made her wonder if she would ever be able to dance again when all this was over. If it ever would be over…

When it seemed Daudrie wasn’t planning on turning back any time soon Apollo moved her into a heated tank he kept in the medical bay for the occasional vet treatment.

The warmth was welcoming on her scales. She curled up and slept the pain away. She didn’t want to even think about the god and what he had planned for her right now. She just wanted the warmth.

Apollo spent his time writing up his findings into his book, occasionally checking on her. Out of pure curiosity he placed a live mouse in the tank with her.

Daudrie ignored the mouse, a little offended that he thought she would eat that. She ended up sleeping until the next morning. Rarely in her life had she ever slept alone. It was not a comforting thing to her. She slept terribly. Come the next morning she didn’t want to move. She was scared of what was planned for her today.

Apollo walked in the next morning, a little disappointed that she hadn’t eaten the mouse. He had been hoping to see some evidence of reversion to instinctive animalistic behaviour.

Daudrie glared at him in disgust as he walked in. She wasn’t an animal. She wasn’t going to eat some stupid mouse. She liked her meat cooked. Besides, a natural cobra would have bitten the mouse before eating it to kill it. She had no venom any more. What did he think was going to happen? Her hood was out in warning. She may not have her venom any more, but she would still bite him if given the chance.

“Oh calm down” he chided, “forgive me for providing something snakes eat seeing as you can’t tell me what you eat. Would you rather starve?” He rolled his eyes, popping the mouse into a small cage

She was in a confined glass cage. She couldn't shift into her human form right now without getting hurt, otherwise she would have and given him a piece of her mind. She just continued to glare at him through the glass although her hood folded back.

She very nearly tackled him to the ground in happiness.

"Koen your daughter wants you to show her how to use a sword," Loraz said as she pushed the shy girl forward. The five year old was clutching the wooden sword she had gotten for her birthday and looking up at her dad with a hopeful expression.
