[That evening a song drifts over the network followed by the view of a dark siren . Unlike others that might be freaking out about this new change, Li was overjoyed by it! She was a creature meant to take different forms, even if this wasn't her original one, she was still thrilled she had one that was water bound and it showed in her voice as she sang, adding power to her voice to call others like her to where she was in Fayren, So far, she's only met one other siren and that gave her hope for there being others as she poured her desire to meet them into her song and hoped that they would heed her call. If not... at least she met one other siren and that would just have to be enough.]

[That night found Li on the shores of Fayren, waiting as her song was broadcast through the network and the surrounding area. Moonlight made the dark siren visible against the night as she rested on a rock, half in the water, half out as it played against her pale skin and dark hair. Li was being patient and really hoped that for once, she wasn't alone.

Her call was meant for other sirens but, who knows.. it might have pulled in more than Sirens...Li wasn't exactly an expert in this area of magic since it's far different from how she operated as a Kelpie.]

[ooc: Feel free to have her call work on whoever wants to answer it! Or ignore it, completely up to you!]

[Li looked up when she heard the sound of wings and became still in the water until she recognized who it was.]

Gellert!

[She's grinning as she's diving into the water and quickly swimming to shore with a flash of her black tail with its tattered fins. Very soon she's walking out of the water as she willed her fins to become legs as if the very notion was second nature to her. Which, incidentally.. it was. Nor did she care that she was completely nude with black markings along her hips, sides and arms which seemed to be mirroring the ones of her body in the water. Even her hair was black instead of the faded sandy blonde that it had been before this particular change.]

Thanks. I guess for while, I'm a siren instead of a kelpie. Not to far off, but.. close enough for now.

[Where he was exuding a sense of peace and contentment, Li was excited, happy and just feeling better than she has in a long time.]

[He isn't shy. Once she's out of the water, he holds open his arms, ready to tuck her close. His protective nature has taken on a sweeter edge, free of bitterness and suspicion.]

I think it suits you. [Her smile is something he knows he will miss, but he gives his golden head a shake, putting those regrets in the back of his mind.] A dark mane suits you.

[Meanwhile Gellert is as golden as ever - and maybe a little tan. He has always had a somewhat angelic appearance despite his mad smiles and madder actions.]

[Li didn't have any issue running into his arms and being tucked in close. She was just too happy with this sudden change and pressed her forehead against him in a pretty trusting equine manner despite being a siren at that moment. Some instincts were hard to break, even now and Li would always be a Kelpie at her core.]

Thanks.. I'm supposed to have a black mane. It faded out over the centuries from the sun.

[So not only was she something close to what she originally was, but, she had her color back. Another reason why she's happy. While he was golden and tan, Li was dark and pale as moonlight, a good contrast against him. Eventually she pulled back enough to study his wings.]

When did you get the wings?

[He laughs and his eyes sparkle with pure, unfettered joy. She will be tucked close - nice and safe - and he will rest his forehead against her own. If he thinks about it, he has been concerned about her since the moment he realized he had wings. But this is a welcome surprise.]

You'll have it back soon. [Gellert presses a kiss to her brow, running a hand over her mane. She is beautiful and strong. Even so, he gives her a solemn frown.] I promise.

[Grinning suddenly, he gives his wings a nice fluff.]

I woke with them! The urge to fly was overwhelming and I can manage it in short bursts.

[She definitely doesn't mind being tucked in close and safe. With her this relaxed, it isn't hard to realize that Li actually trusted him as she pressed her forehead back against his.

For now, Li was strong and how she was meant to be.. or at least, meant to be as a siren. It gave him a good hint of how she'd be once she was a mare again once the curse was broken. Wild, beautiful and free along with happy. For the moment, she wasn't defensive or angry like she had been.]

I know...I'm trusting you to keep that promise.

[Her attention turned back to his wings as he fluffed them out and grinned before leaning over to touch them out of curiosity.]

What does it feel like to fly? Is it anything like swimming?

[He presses a kiss to her cheek and gives her a warm squeeze. It is a relief to see her so strong and it inspires him to work harder - and faster - on her cure. Then he will be able to see her as herself, happy and free, with her life stretching before her.]

I could give you a taste? [His wings are big enough to carry two and he grins mischievously.] It is a little bit like swimming.

[Eventually, he'd be able to give her such a gift and she'd be more than grateful to him for breaking her curse before it claimed her life. But.. for now, she was enjoying life without it however brief it was.

And Li was curious about nearly everything. From food to new experiences and flying was definitely a new experience to her. One she was both hesitant and overwhelmingly curious about.]

Are you sure? I'm not to heavy or anything, am I?

[At least she's not turning down the offer?]

[Her bravery shines in all facets of her life and Gellert isn't shocked when she agrees to his offer. It's not like he would ever drop her. Unless they are over water. Then it's okay and she will probably enjoy the splash.]

You're not heavy at all. [He wraps his arms around her slender waist and encourages her to hold onto his shoulders.] Your tail is the largest part of you, but I think we can manage a short flight.

[He could make her weightless with a spell, but that's not as fun.]

[Her arms went around his shoulders as he put his arms around her waist. He was really going to take her flying, wasn't he? Li was terrified and thrilled at the same time. Her kind was never meant to be in the air, Kelpie or Siren. But, she trusted him and wanted to know what it felt like.

So, she was determined to hang on and enjoy the thrill.]

Then, what's keeping us on the ground? Lets go!

[He laughs lowly and stretches out his wings. A couple of flaps later and they are floating into the air. Gellert embraces her close to his chest and takes her higher, positioning them over the water. Just in case.]

What do you think? Do you want to be a Kelpie with wings?

[The moment they take off, Li tightens her hold off of them and there's a momentary panic as her feet leave the ground. Even if she fell from this low height, the ground would hurt if she hit it.

Water would simply welcome her into its embrace which made her a little relieved when he moved over the water as she clung to him a little tighter. But, how did she like the sensation?

Li felt exhilarated.]

If I was a Kelpie with wings, I'd be a Pegasus.

[She buried her head against his shoulder but, it was easy to tell she was smiling and enjoying the feel of the wind against them.]
