"It might be best
if I transformed out
for this task," Tiberius said.

Tiberius went over to the stone and transformed back into his normal self. He then went back to Roke and Jackie. "But where do we start?" He asked.

Jackie shrugged. "I'unno."She said, not sure where to begin.

"Well, I suppose we could try going from colony to colony and see if anyone has any info," Tiberius suggested. "I know all the rulers of the colonies, but I'm not sure. There's Julius, Octavian, Caligula, Vespasian..." ...It felt like there was a theme going on that everyone who came into power among the Almiraj shared the names of ancient Roman emperors. Even Tiberius and his father fit the trend.

Oop: Just so you're aware the Romans don't exist in the world the Jutik live in.



"We might not have to."Roke said, seeing a wild Vlt walking towards the cave. Vults were bipedal repto-mammals. They had bare under bellies, long powerful tails, four toed paws, and were surprisingly friendly for a predator. This Vult was male, judging by its elongated box shaped head and the two fangs poking out of its lower jaw. Roke walked over to it. It's feet were similar in appearance to Tiberius's, though longer and thinner. Roke lifted one of the Vult's legs, with it barking and trying to keep its balance. Though smaller than the cast, the print left by the Vult was very similar to the cast, more so than Tiberius's track. "That doesn't make any sense..."Roke said, trying to wrap his head around what's been going on.

"Even these creatures aren't known to attack whole villages," Tiberius mentioned,

OOC: I know, but I figured why not.

"Does this atleast prove that Tierius and that girl who helped break him out are innocent?"Jackie asked. "Yes it does, Jackie."Roke replied. "WHAT?! HOW'D YOU KNOW I WAS ME?!"Jackie yelped surprised. "Well you and I have known each other since we were kids."Roke replied. "Plus you're terrible at acting."Roke said.

"You two know each other?" Tiberius asked. "If you saw her defending me, then why didn't you take that into consideration when judging me if you two are close?"

"JAckie's a nice girl, but she never thinks ahead."Roke said flatly. "I do to!"Jackie protested. "The last time I recall you thinking up something ahead of time is when food is related."Roke replied. "Nonetheless, I knew she more than likely wouldn't have thought before releasing you. At first I thought you had simply tricked her into letting you out, which I don't think is reason enough to send someone to jail."Roke said.

"Well, it kind of happened like this," Tiberius mentioned. "She asked me questions, I answered them as truthfully as possible, including the ones about the destruction I did cause when trying to escape your people. Now I wish for nothing more than to help you find the creatures behind the constant destruction. If we have no other place to start, we should try searching the forest at night. Perhaps we can find the creature then during the times you specified them usually attacking."

"For now I think it would be best to go back to the village."Roke said.

"Wait, how would that help?" Tiberius asked.

"Well, it would get you and Jackie off the wanted list for starters."Roke said. "Second, if these attacks were comitted by another Colony of Almiraj, to Jutik and a lone Almiraj aren't exactly enough of a force to get these attacks to stop." Roke said.

"Fine, but I don't know if two people are going to persuade an entire village that I'm harmless," Tiberius mentioned. "Perhaps it might be a good idea to come in Greatbeast form? And as an added bonus, I'll even let you chain me up, too. We have some big chains lying around for when past Greatbeasts rebel against a colony."

"It's not two people trying to convince an entire village. It's two people convincing one, that everyone else listens to."Roke said. "And that won't be necessary. You can get big if you'd really like to, but it's not necessary."Roke added.

"Ugh, guys, every time I try to set it in stone that I'm not bad, you keep telling me it's a bad idea," Tiberius mentioned. "I don't care if he's the elder, he is STILL one guy. The only way I can PROVE to them that I am not dangerous is to show all of them. I'm sorry, but I insist on going as the Emperor. I know it's risky, but it's the only way to prove it."

Oop: Roke was saying that, not Jackie

OOC: Edited.

"Hey, I didn't say you couldn't come with us like that. Just don't expect a warm welcome."Roke said.

"I won't," Tiberius stated. "That is why I am allowing Roke and possibly some of my subjects to escort me while chained up. It might make me seem less dangerous if it looks like I am imprisoned."

"If you're imprisoned it would make people assume the worst."Roke said. The Chains really won't be necessary. It would speak better if you went without as it would show you have self control."Roke said.
