“I don’t know what just happened, but we have rules here. “I just…I felt a surge of power, and the next thing I knew…” He trailed off and nodded his beak downward towards his body.īrocke shook his head and slowly releasing Daniel’s throat, wary. “I…I have no idea,” he replied truthfully. His grip on Daniel’s neck was firm, but not enough to cause damage, only enough to keep him under control.įinally, Jack was the first to speak up: “How…how the hell did you just do that, Daniel?”ĭaniel shook his head in response. Brocke himself was tensed, waiting to see if Daniel would continue his attack and prepared to stop him if he tried. There was a long, stunned silence as everyone but Brocke stared at him in shock. There were a few pieces of fabric stuck in his fur and feathers, but for the most part the ruins of his clothing were where he’d been standing. He’d had over an hour left on that veil, yet he’d just unveiled without warning within seconds, not a minute like normal. He didn’t understand…he was back in his true form, he could feel all of his limbs and feathers and fur, but that SHOULDN’T have been possible. It didn’t take him long to recognize the person as Brocke. What the hell just happened? He tried to back away, but before he could move he was grabbed by the neck and slammed into the ground several feet away. Daniel blinked, staring in confusion at the jet-black beak sticking out of his face plain as day. Daniel’s beak descended to-Īnd that was what stopped him. There was confusion on Ethan’s face as he was pinned to the ground by the enormous Gryphon. He screeched mightily, slamming into the liche full force and taking him to the ground. He felt a surge of energy flow through him as he hurled Alex aside and charged at Ethan. Those last 6 words were what did it, what pushed Daniel past the breaking point. “Besides, my beliefs on the matter still stand: he got exactly what he deserved.” “He doesn’t know the full story,” Ethan said calmly, looking towards Brocke. He was still pissed off, but he couldn’t just give all that money up… He hesitated, remembering back to what Jack told him before, about making all that money disappear if he didn’t follow his orders. He hissed quietly, his blue eyes glowing, “I’m ORDERING YOU to stand down, Daniel!” “You didn’t give me veils, you didn’t help me understand my new body and get used to it, you just disappeared without a word and without a trace! And yet now, after all that, you still had the audacity to call us ‘friends’?!?!”Īs Danny took another step, pushing against Alex, Jack himself stepped towards him. “You destroyed my life! And then you abandoned me!” Daniel tried to shove past Alex futilely. Things have…changed since we last saw each other.” “See, THIS is why I suggested the veil: I knew he’d want to attack me the second he saw me. What is he talking about?”Įthan sighed, shaking his head. “I think you left out parts of the story, Ethan. “We were NEVER friends! If it wasn’t for this son of a bitch, I’d be at home right now living a NORMAL life!”īrocke’s expression changed, showing confusion as he stood up. “We are NOT friends,” Daniel snarled, glaring at Ethan. “So, you DO know each other,” Brocke observed. All the while, Ethan looked on calmly, his calm demeanor infuriating Daniel even more. He squawked a ‘no’ at Daniel, shaking his head. He took a step towards the man, but Alex stepped in front of him, blocking his path. What the fuck was Ethan doing here? The last time he saw Ethan was on the morning after he was SUPPOSED to turn back, in that recovery room in Richmond.
