#zherim

Nava: Azzy already had the egg so I’mma play with Mara with this fluffy thing!  --------- Zherim: I have the weird beast form now, but even in that form I am still fucking tiny! They have met a lot of other nymphs their age, and I take them to play with their half siblings sometimes. Rhava is a little ball of energy and mischief, and Ventu is adventurous.  --------- Vaesa: Sometimes I miss being able to *control* the Dream world, when weird things happen in my mind!

Lately, I have been studying various magic types and practicing with Kavuta. He’s a pretty good teacher, actually!

Anatha is just confused. She isn’t sure what to think. She doesn’t even know how to shift at will herself, much less how to teach Zherim to do it! So she just holds the small Vhessen up. just staring at him as he grumbles in irritation. Goes through all that, gets a beast form.. and still tiny!

All of the strangeness comes to a head when pain starts to wrack Zherim’s body. Every inch of him is suddenly in searing agony, followed by stretching and cracking as his body twists and grows and changes...  Until he’s turned into a strange beast.. like Anatha did! Once fully turned, the pain fades away and he is left panting and very, very confused. And, to his frustration.. still tiny, with a still stubby tail. Back when Anatha had first attacked Vaesa, she’d trampled her own tail.Her claw had sliced it pretty good. It had bled, and her sudden movement had a claw catching Zherim as well. He’d bleed a little. She’d bled a bit more. He’d patched her up, and gotten a little of her blood on his scratched arm. He’d wiped it away and thought nothing of it. It healed up as if it had never happened, and he forgot about the whole thing. Perhaps he should have thought more about her strange shifting ability and the surprise blood contact.... Zherim now has a beast form, and he’s not sure what to make of it!

Mostly? There was confusion. A lot of it. Vaesa turned tail and ran, stating that she much preferred her blood inside her body. Zherim, however, still has complete control, despite the fact that he is having trouble walking. His body has completely changed, and his balance is all off.

Finally, Anatha decides to take him to Vaesa. She was afraid of the moth, but also recognized that the moth had helped her. Since that glowing touch, she’d been thinking more clearly. Memories were starting to come back. Her head didn’t hurt anymore. While she wasn’t fully healed, it was easily enough to recognize that the moth had helped. If the moth had helped her, perhaps she could help Zherim as well. The small Vhessen’s fever is very high, and he’s barely lifting his head. Vaesa has no idea what is going on, and her natural healing ability doesn’t seem to be doing much. Instead, she gives him something to lower the fever, and offers to help keep an eye on the nymphs while he is recovering. Anatha is unsure, at first, but she can tell the moth means no harm. After a few days, the fever finally goes down. Zherim seems to be regaining his energy, but... he’s started complaining about something else. An odd burning in his chest, a strange feeling he can’t place. It’s not painful, but it is strange all the same. Some of the things Vaesa tries to give him to help him recover don’t quite seem to be as effective. His loss of appetite and illness is replaced by something quite different. He’s gone from so sick he could barely eat, to insatiably hungry. Anatha isn’t sure what to think, and she tells Vaesa that he’s eating around twice as much as he did before he got sick. With this increased appetite comes increased energy. Zherim seems.. almost wild?
