[@Cuccoruler] Time seemed to go by slowly as the townsfolk searched for survivors. Lucius was among the group and managed to find many souls who would live on. He also found those who would not be so lucky and for that he became bitter for a time. He knew that these people didn't deserve this, they were meant for much more. What got him the most was knowing that these people had families of their own, and their loss was as much his own. Eventually aid from the palace finally arrived in full force. Fresh soldiers came to replace the tired troops, healers came to apply fresh bandages and a host of supplies for the relief effort came in carts. Lucius was finally relieved from his labor for a time, he needed a break and a quiet place to just rest and collect his thoughts. He grabbed some water from one of the carts and walked to the outskirts of the town, where hardly a soul remained. The water soothed his throat, minus the fact that he didn't like to drink water, Lucius finally felt a bit better. Memories came back to him of a time where he once tried to swim and almost drowned, after that he went without water for almost two days because he was afraid of it. His parents finally had to force him to drink so he wouldn't die. A smile pursed his lips, he hoped his parents were alright. They were out of the way of most battle sights and for that he was thankful. Then he thought of his baby brother, now that was a different story. Lucius took another drink of water, taking in the sight of the dog turning into a girl- wait... He almost forgot about the dog and now here it had just turned into a naked female who quickly put on a burlap sack. Needless to say, Lucius choked on his water and spit it out, beginning to cough right after. What the hell! The dog was a werewolf the entire time, or was she a weredog? Lucius was so confused but at the same time saw no threat in the girl who was obviously oblivious to what was actually going on, or that's what he thought anyway. He finally stopped coughing and then found himself barraged by questions. [color=gold] "Whoa whoa whoa. Hold on a minute! Are you telling me you've been a dog this entire time? What are you? Who are you? And no, I don't think fetch would be appropriate right now, by the way." [/color] Lucius said quiet surprised and intensely curious.
