The Mystery of Lake Avaleur

[Steele]

"Yee divvnae want te get yer clothing wet?" Steele says.
"Well Is not goin' out there, less i'd be drug down withim. Aye he's a changer so drownin' is thee least of his concern." He says looking out in the lake.
"Well what wee need iz a caster." He sniffs the air around Phillis.
"Say where's yer lad? Ye two can't be very far apart and he was castin' in the marsh before."

[Phillis Von Christ]

"Oh, well uhm, you see, some awkward things happened between us, so we haven't really talked in awhile. Isn't there anyone else?"

[Steele]

"Aakwaad things?" Steele says raising his eye brow and turning away for a moment thinking.
"Aye there is tis one caster', her name was..." Steele looked up for a moment. "Denzel, aye that's her name, Denzel."

[Phillis Von Christ]

"Well, can't you do any magic?" Phillis asked. "Instead of calling kids in to do it."

[Steele]

"Ahm a brawler not a magic user fool," Steele says a bit irritated. "In case yee haven't noticed werewolves divvent myek the best magic casters and yer right, we don't need a fanger anyway."
Steele paces around.
"Thee lad could be fish food by now, are yee sure ye didn't see anytin'?"

[Phillis Von Christ]

"Ugh, no. Can't you swim and find him or something? You smell like wet dog already anyway."

[Steele]

Steele frowned. He hated when people told him that.
"Aye good idea hinny, I'll just jump reet into the river an possibly vanish just leik the changer did." Steele sarcastically says and then sighs.
"Fine, i'll go in fir him but if I die I will kill ye." He says taking off his orange and black vest and gestures Phillis to take it.

[Phillis Von Christ]

Phillis made a disguised face as he took the clothing, dropping it beside him. " Hurry."

[Steele]

Steele leaps into the lake water and immediately starts to swim towards where he last heard Seth. His sense of smell was diminished being in the water so he had to look the old fashioned way. He dives down under water and begins to search there.
"Thee things i do fir these people." He says to himself and begins to dive deeper.

The water was becoming very dark and difficult to see, but down further Steele could see a glowing light.
"Tis must be it!" He thought as he frantically hurried to the surface.
Gasping for air when he resurfaces he waves over to Phillis, "I think Iz found him!"

[Phillis Von Christ]

"Really? That's good! Is he dead?!"

[Steele]

Steele just shrugs his shoulders and dives down again heading straight for the light. He dives deeper and deeper into the cold depths of the lake and stops when he feels something fimiliar. His heart pounding, and a warmth throughout his whole body. He was changing. Steele panicked, a full moon was no where near it's time why the hell is he changing!?

His nails lengthened into claws as a sea of black and grey fur spread across his whole body. He felt an enormous amount of pressure from his spine as his tail pushed against his pants and finally tore free from them. His ears shaped into a point and shifted to the top of his head and face pushed out into a muzzle.

He could see Seth at the ground of the lake. He was asleep but still human, in fact there were other people on the ground too , as if the water weren't even effecting them. Steele had no time to think, he was running out of air. He grabs Seth by his shirt and rapidly swims up for the surface. Upon resurfacing he roars out gasping for air and after taking a few breathes start paddling towards the shore.

[Phillis Von Christ]

Phillis cocked an eyebrow, He extended his hand out to Steele, to help him back out of the water.

[Steele]

Steele entends his pawed hand grabs Phillis's being careful not to accidentally claw him.
Standing up he now towered over Phillis.
Noticing his cocked eyebrow Steele says in a deeper voice "Admit it hinny, this isn't thee weirdest thing ye've seen."

[Phillis Von Christ]

"You have a point. If I'd seen you a week ago, I'd of been surprised." Phillis said, standing beside Steele. " but not much in Avaleur can surprise me at this point."

[Seth]

Seth coughed up water as he started to wake up. "Phillis?" He says hearing his voice. As his vision cleared he saw Steele and yelled. He quickly got up and hid behind Phillis. "Phillis it's a werewolf! I knew something was wrong with this lake!"

[Phillis Von Christ]

"Don't be such a pussy." Phillis said, stepping aside. "He saved your ass."

[Steele]

Steele just laughed at thought of the mere sight of himself was scaring Seth.

[Seth]

"It...He what!?" Seth said. "And hey i'm not a pussy, I'm a ten year magic veteran." He says lying through his teeth.

[Phillis Von Christ]

"Yeah, okay." Phillis said, not believing the boy. "Than why didn't you just use magic to save yourself?"

[Seth]

"Because I uh..." The question caught him off gaurd.
"Because my magic isn't as good as in the water..." He says.
Looking at Steele again he shutters.
