Shina felt odd in this new 'body', she instinctively flicked her tail behind her but looked down to see nothing there, just an ordinary elf bottom. 'I miss my tail already' Shina sighed. But she looked the part and that was all that mattered in this instance.

She smiled to herself as she saw the dragon change, she didn't look nearly as menacing now, though she didn't doubt she would be just as aggressive! [color=green] 'You look great, dragon' [/color] Shina knew she wouldn't believe her but now wasn't the time to worry about looks. 

[color=green] 'OK everyone, thanks to the wizard, we are all set to enter the forest. It's been some time since Thaddeus went in and I haven't heard anything so we should be safe to go.' [/color] Shina hoped it was quiet because Thaddeus was just getting through the firest and not because he had already been dispatched.  

They began to make their way through. Instantly Shina felt a different atmosphere here; a cold, ominous feeling. The forest was indeed beautiful, the trees towered above them as if to cover the skies themselves. It smelt damp and moss covered most of the ground. Not a bird could be heard, nor any deer or creature to be seen. As they walked through, she had the distinct feeling that someone or something was watching them. Lapoo stuck to her shoulders like glue. [color=green] 'It's ok friend, you can stay on my shoulder. Nothing will happen to...'[/color] Shina suddenly tripped on a root, though she would have sworn there was nothing there. [color=green] 'Ow!! Horse dung, who the hell put this here!!?' [/color] Shina picked herself up and dusted the damp leaves off her. 

[color=green] 'Be careful everyone!' [/color] Shina tried to hide her embarrassment.
