Setting
The Ruins once stood as a magnificent monastery of aesthetic warrior monks. The main building raises as a tower, surrounded by a series of rubble that may have been out buildings.The Ruins give off an uneasy feeling as if you are being watched, and there are darting shadows that vanish when you face them. Occasionally a howling wind blows through, racing among the rubble creating haunting moans and groans.

Loa Ka'Kekren [43] This strange and twisted creature is only vaguely humanoid. It seems to be more insect like than anything else. It seems to be female, but barely so. No doubt some form of alien life, and perhaps not the friendliest of such.

.Melissa. took his hand, her face reflecting the open honesty of the child she was. "You're not alone." she told him. "I'm here. I'll always be here, as long as I want to be." she sighed, tilting her head back to the sky. Her hand still in his, she sipped the contents of the flask.
Saldon felt old then, and it wasn't because of her gift. He looked at her features and narrowed his eyes, "Can you change your appearance to that of your age?" He wanted to see if she could, cause if she could, he knew he could help her control her powers without all this guessing.
.Melissa. glanced at him. "Well, yes." she blushed, suddenly uncomfortable. "It hurts though. I usually do it in private."
Saldon "Do it now. If you can't do it with me making sure then I can't help you." He was serious on this one and even lifted his hood over his head, makinghimself that imposing figure she would have seen when she was only nine.
.Melissa. stared up at him, wide-eyed. Sighing, she removed both of her gloves and set them aside. She placed both palms, arms crossed, just underneath her collar-bone. A small whimper escaped her lips as her image seemed to move. Her form shifted, shrinking, her face rounding and her limbs curved with the softness of youth. When she was finished, her clothes hung loosely about her shoulders, and she was fighting tears.
Saldon walked over and picked up her gloves and looked at them before putting them in his pocket. "You are to remain at your own age while I train you... I don't like immortals showing off their gift of beauty. After I am done you can go back to your 18 year old body or you can enjoy the surprises of life by waiting to reach it. From now on... No gloves, they make you uncertain and hesitant... If you hesitate you can't control your power. Now come with me... We have to outfit you with something that fits..."
.Melissa. took a deep breath, trying to muster the confidence she exhibited as her older self. Her hands had stopped trembling, and the pain had subsided, so she walked behind Saldon quickly, more graceful than the average 13 year old, but still stumbling through that transitional awkward stage. Now that she thought about it, she felt a bit better as herself. She didn't have to subconsciously focus her energy on maintaining that other form. She thought she might try something. "Saldon? May I hold your hand?" she asked.
Saldon smiled beneath his hood and showed his hand never had a glove on as he reached out to take her hand.
.Melissa. closed her eyes for a moment, focusing on the dark corner of her subconscious. It was a whole and different entity there, secluded from her conscious mind. She reminded herself that Saldon was a friend, as close as a father, that he was safe, that he deserved love, that he should be protected from harm. Opening her eyes, she gently took his hand and gave it a comforting squeeze.
Saldon flinched beneath the hood but acted natural and began to walk again. The pinch came from nowhere and faded quickly. He was worried of that but for now he was fine. He glanced at Meli and made sure her emmotions didn't betray her concentration as he crossed into a clearing, a cave across from them was slightly visible.
.Melissa. sighed, feeling a sense of balance within herself. "I think I have to talk to it." she told him. "There's a dark place in my mind, like a guard dog. When it thinks I'm in danger, it reacts violently." She looked down at their clasped hands. "When I convince it that I'm not in danger, then it doesn't bother me or anyone else." She looked up at him. "Does that make sense?"
Saldon glanced at their hands, "Oh I think it double checks without your concensus... I just felt a pinch when you squeezed my had.... Whatever power you have, it is like us Lycans... It is sentient."

.Melissa. froze, feeling an uncomfortable tension in her shoulders. She looked around, focussing on Saldon. "Something's wrong." she murmured quietly.

Hope ginned at ability, it was nice to not have to disturb her husband in order to get where she needed to go. She then let go of Alexis's hand and looked about for the best possible place to do this. She made sure to keep herself in the shadows as her black eyes lingered on a stone table across the way and nodded pointing twoards it "That might be easiest on the girl.. though we can take care of it right here.. the only other thing I will need you to do is to begin healing her right after her soul sperates.. her body should revert.. but if you wait too long her form will turn to ash.. finding bodies.. is irritating to say the least
