['Take care, because you know not what your actions do.’
The message from Kathashun has been sitting in the back of Shiro’s mind since he heard it. It stirs up old ghosts. He’s been in the dark before as the darkness closed in and he couldn’t even trust his own mind. That had nearly ended in tragedy. The local people hadn’t known much about Kathashun or Jalin but he’d heard them both and their descriptions got notice. Somewhere out there Jalin got his wish to travel.
He drifts closer to runes set in the wall. Just like Kathashun to place his warnings in carefully hidden places. He changes back to his human shape and brushes his fingers just above the runes.]
‘Whatever is seeping into this planet...’ So you don’t know what it is. [It’s up to them to avert a possible disaster. Find the Princess. He turns to anyone who is nearby, his grey eyes fixing on them.] Did you find anything else? …Kathashun seemed like a practical man, I wouldn’t be surprised if this is all we get for now.
A possible lead
[This is the second world with some kind of sickness. He doesn’t like it. It could be whatever is seeping into this world isn’t a sickness. But he remembers what Astoria said about the plague. He makes note of it. Whenever he can get in contact with everyone else other than their small group…he’ll pose the theory to them. The Merfolk don’t mind him coming with them to observe and collect the dimmer jellyfish.
The first thing he notices is they’re about the same as other jellyfish. He pokes one with the tool after warning them he was going to. It responds about the same. Same reaction time.]
…are you sure they’re sick? What if something is drawing their energy from them? [The darkness around them feels odd. It isn’t a void but natural light doesn’t seem to cut through it. He activates his hand. Blue light races through the metal under his paladin armor and suffuses his whole arm from forearm up. For a moment it works then the darkness closes back in.]
The Lion is blue tonight
[Accidents happen. Collecting samples was never his strong suit. He’d held tools and equipment for scientists but that’s as far as his space piloting career let him go in that area. The jellyfish aren’t difficult to collect. It’s kind of mindless once you get a good rhythm going. In combat or flight, he can change tactics and gears on the fly. Not so much when doing work like this.
One stubborn jellyfish refuses to go where he needs it to go. He seeks to move it with the tool. Big mistake. It wraps around his wrist and goes for broke on trying to sting him. He hisses in pain and uses the opportunity to move it where it needs to go. It refuses to let go. he sighs.
He’ll have to pry it off. His body bursts into purple light and reshapes itself into a truck-sized metal lion with wings jutting up from its back. The creature is dislodged and he blasts it with a roar, the sound sending it in the right direction. He drops his head to snag the tools that fell from his changing hands and notices his lion foreleg is glowing.

…Really?
Lost in the wild.
