From Man to Spirit to Beast.

At the further exit of the main tunnel orc sentries where stationed, but they were easily despatched by the combined might of the six shapeshifters. The moment the exited the tunnel they saw a terrible sight. Hanging from spears jammed into the ground were Bison and Puma. Somehow they had been overcome by their foes. Bear and Wolverine broke off the spears and lowered the two slain companions slowly to the ground. We dug two shallow graves and lay them there, covered each grave with a slab of stone and built two mounds over the site. We all stood together in a moments silence grieving for our lost friends.
We left them behind us, walking along the valley to the final confrontation with Demon in his den, our heart filled with anger and the thirst for revenge.

[Grey_Wolf]

Eagle soared over her companions and flew ahead to scout the valley which lead to the mountain in which the Morgoth Demon resided.

Small groups of orcs patrolled the grounds, but they were easily dispatched by the combined might of the six shapeshifters, although Coyote and Lynx got slightly injured, but there soon on the mend.

Closer and closer they got to the cave-opening of the Demon's den. They felt a bit apprehensive although they were pretty confident that their magical powers would defeat the Demon.

Erm... I'm not sure if you all want to prolong this rpg anymore, but I think it's a really cool idea and I want to join. Maybe we could get this rpg really going! I'm sure that other people will want to join as well.

I would like to be Tiger, a fiery young woman used to dominating things. She has flame orange hair and amber eyes, and wears a green silk Japanese stereo-typical style shirt and pants.

Ic: Tiger snuck along in her human form, using her nimble hands to climb over things, and to avoid notice. Near to the cave of the Demon she was after, Tiger paused. Six others were standing there, inching toward the cave. Something about them gave her pause... what could it be? Then one of them began to change. Tiger instinctively shifted too, crouching to spring, then relaxing as the other finished his shift. These people were like her!

[Grey_Wolf]

Well, I think it would be nice if other people would join this RPG, too.

For example, the Demon about to be fought is the European one.
There are still the ones residing in Asia, Africa and the Americas.

So go ahead prolong this RPG as long you all want to.

[Kalile]

Yay!

[Legoles]

I like to join! I'd like to be the cheetah.
Nalish crouched above the girl below him. He looked at the others that shifted and saw they were like him. His long sand and black hair, tanned white face, handsome complexion, bare chest, and long, loose white pants secured with a golden rope, were all that could be described of him. He shifted into his cheetah form and jumped far down onto the girls rock, just behind her. He shifted back into his human form and waited silently for any sign that she had heard him. She obviously hadn't so he shifted back into his cheetah form and and hid in the shadows waiting for any sign of movement.

[Kalile]

Tiger shifted just her nose, and sniffed the air. Something... there! She turned, shifting her nail into claws, and teeth into fangs.
"You are lucky you are human, or your body would already have hit the ground. Don't try anything; I can rip your throat out much faster than you can draw a knife or even move.
I will give you a chance to explain yourself, and it better be good. Start talking."
Tiger pushed her claws against his throat, and a drop of blood welled up. "Better hurry," she growled, baring her fangs, "or I have no choice but to think that you are that demon's spy."

[Legoles]

um, K I'm in cheetah form, but I'll work around that.
<Let go of me and I'll tell you>
The tiger let off his throat and he tore a strip of cloth from his pants, and wrapped it around the wound. "I am Nalish, of Africa. Shapeshifter, and martial artist. The high council sent me after the party down there. The never mentioned a tiger."

[Kalile]

Oops. Well, you changed back at the last second, because I'm not a loony who puts animals at claw point to give me info: if they're shapeshifters in animal form then they're on my side anyway! I may be wierd, but not that loopy.

Ic: "A shapeshifter?" Tiger relaxed, though not much, and still contrived to act suspicious. "Do you have any proof from this council of yours? I wasn't aware that the symbiosis between man and beast had been achieved anywhere but the far east."

[Grey_Wolf]

As the six shapeshifters approached the entrance to the Demon's Cave they came upon a small group of orc-sentries which they defeated easily and proceeded deeper into the mountain. Yet again the heat and humidity almost got the better of them, but they shook it off and continued. Finally they entered a hugh hall with tall pillars holding up the ceiling. At the further end of this hall was a enormous throne on which the Demon sat. It was gigantic, at least 60 feet. It's eyes shone with red fire. But it was old now and weaker still.

Bear and the others let themselves grow just as enormous as the Demon and then attacked it as the Demon rose from it's throne.

Blood and guts dripped from the open wounds which the beastmen ripped open in the Demon's huge body. It's life-blood flowed in huge rivers down along the floor. The Demon got weaker and weaker and finally it was kneeling on the floor. Finally it slammed into the floor and died.

The beastmen och the beastwoman shrunk back to their normal sizes and sighed with relief. The long treck had come to a conclusion and the battle was over, but the six shapeshifters hadn't gotten away from the fight unwounded. They left the Demon were it had fallen and walked out of the huge mountainhall. Given time they would recover and go back home. For them the ordeal was over and it was up to the remaining shapeshifters to find and defeat the three other Morgoth-Demons and finally rid the world of this malicious evil.

[Legoles]

"Well, I suppose that this peice of parchment would varify it." He drew out a peice of parchment with an official looking seal on it. "Anyway, I think that we should go down and help the others."

[Kalile]

"Too late." Tiger stuck the document into her waistline still rolled, inwardly rolling her eyes.
I ask for proof that he can shapeshift and he gives me a piece of paper!
Without a backward glance, she shifted entirely and leaped down the rocks to greet the bedraggled group.

[Legoles]

He shifted behind her and lept down as well. He shifted back but left his cheetah ears on his head for amusement.

[Kalile]

I can't think of anything to say, really I can't! I'm trying hard, I really am!

[Legoles]

[his normal ears and his cheetah ears are in two different places, cheetah ears are on top of his head, normal ears are still there.]Nalish poked her on the back with his finger. "Tiger?"

[Kalile]

"WH- what?"

[Legoles]

IC:"How do you like my ears." donning a sly grin he pointed at his head.

[Legoles]

BUMP!!!!!

[Grey_Wolf]

"We must go to America." said Wolf."There we'll find the remainder of our companions. The two Morgoth Demons that is left will also be found there."

Thus Wolf, Bear, Lynx and Wolverine wandered off back to Normandie and the Atlantic coast to seek a way in which to travel across the infathomable ocean.

Finally they reached the ruins of the former town of Dunquerce. They walked out on the beach and found a fairly well-preserved sailing boat. They pushed it out into the water and set off across the ocean, hoping that they would find what they looked for.
