Lone shapeshifter

Syndil laughed inwardly when he asked if she had any clue. "Brother here's one of the first things to know about me. I may be able to sense something odd about an opponent but most of the time i'm about to go into battle i pretty much don't really know what i'm going to face. I find out when face-to-face." Syndil continued running but at a slower pace as to stay quiet when getting closer though she had the feeling the non-human would be able to sense their coming anyway. Whether he'd tell the humans...more than likely his pawns about them coming was a different story.

Kovu chuckled quietly as he followed her just as silent in his steps. The odd smell increased and it was sharp. He was tempted to plug his nose with leaves or something. It was repulsing.

Once Syndil got close enough to where she could actually see them all she shuddered seeing the non-human. "Shit...this isn't looking too good for us." This one she could tell despite his human appearance he had a spell cast over him. "He's a damn Orthus...and an intelligent one at that. He has a spell cast on himself to appear human. We've got one hell of a fight on our hands with that thing."

"What in Gaea's name is an Orthus?" His eyes never left the odd-smelling humanoid. He paused a half-step behind his sister and only glanced at her occasionally. His instincts screamed at him to not remove his eyes from the not-right being.

Syndil too kept her eyes on the creature. "An Orthus is a two-headed dog and where this one is more intelligent than others by the look of it....it's going to be a rough time for us brother." She was becoming genuinely worried about this situation and hoped that the Orthus would let them rid themselves of the humans before dealing with him in true form. Her ears twitched as she heard the sound of whimpering and she looked to the pups that were in a rather sturdy looking cage. She figured she could figure out the cage later but she was just happy to see that the pups weren't harmed just very frightened.

"Should we shift?" Kovu's eyes landed on the pups and he nearly growled. A quick look at the lock and his mind was already picking it apart. If he could get close enough to it, he could open it in seconds.

Syndil looked at her brother and nudged him. "Yes, we'll take human form. Just...Kovu...we need to worry about getting rid of the threat before we can worry about the pups. The threat in this case has to take importance. Otherwise that Orthus could take true form and probably would just devour them. Think you can handle 5 humans by yourself while I get the Orthus a good distance away? I can bide my time with him with as many tricks as i have up my sleeve."
