"I'm sorry, but who are you?" Su was looking at the woman who had come to stand in front of her. She didn't look familiar nor did she appear to be from Genesis in general. For the most part, she was seemingly straight from the wilderness and came right to the alchemy building where she and Remey had been working together for some time now.

"I'm sorry for bothering you, I have come on behalf of my people and am new to this. I understood from what I have learned that I should look for one of the heroes and ask them for assistance. Some are away, others are busy, but you were the one I was recommended to speak with after asking around for help."

Now Syu was even more confused. She had no idea who would be coming to see her and why. Especially when it came to someone who ventured here from the wilderness and made their way to the alchemy building.

The woman was tall and appeared to be a demi-human with some lizard like traits. But, there was a feeling that Su had about her. It made her believe that everything was not what it seemed.

"I am Su, and you can ask me for help, but you seem to be right out of the wilderness, would you have not preferred to rest? Or are you in danger?" it was only natural that the first thought could be this.

Anyone that had come to look for her could be doing so for various reasons. But most of all it was people that needed some training with her or that were from the cathedral. To be honest, she asked that Alice would come looking for her sooner than later to help with developing some light related healing skills or protective skills by comparing the songs and Alice's usage of light magic to defend.

"What is it? Why are we not working on the next mix of dragon breath and the potions you asked for? I have a new..." Remey looked at the slightly dirty woman and grew confused as well. She could tell that the woman had come there from somewhere in the wilderness and had no idea why she was with Su nor why she was at the entrance of her alchemy lab which was being changed little by little.

"I am here to be a representative. I did just come from the wilderness. It took me some time to change in to this appearance since I have remained outside for some years. I came from the northern snow fields. The distance to any city of humans was much greater than it used to be. However, I received the request to come because I was the most used to blending in with villages and other races."

Her introductions still felt limited but Su soon caught on to what was being said and why.

"Are you a member of the shifter race?I didn't expect to meet a shifter race acting as a representative now." The surprise on Su's face was clear to prove that it was definitely not something that was expected by any means.

"I understand. A few of those who knew we were prepared to bring me messages. I have several of my family members who enjoy flying around and meeting others to teach them or guide them to safe homes."

While they had all believed that the shifter race was unorganized,. It was quickly proven to be mostly false. There was a simple fact now that some of them did work together to maintain their safety, but it was still minimal in the grand scheme since they did hide and that made it difficult even for them when they wished to come together.

"It was a very short journey after I took the form of an ice dragon I once met for a brief time. Then I mixed her appearance with a demi-human to acquire a partially unique look. This would allow me to fit in better on the council as needed. I have learned little of your Genesis alliance but I can tell it is a warm place. A few that have been attracted here wish to become one with the people here as well. I would need assurances though."

She seemed nice, but Su didn't doubt her strength. She had lived in the north where there was not much else but toughness and survival. This meant that she had survived long enough to be able to handle meeting dragons and whatever else up there. Beyond that, she had made it clear that there were many times she had blended in to different traces.

If this was the case then it meant she could hide away very easily while also managing to become strong enough and versatile enough to get right besides those of any race. Just looking at how she had managed to make it here regardless of her appearance was enough.

The guards might have questioned her or others she asked might have wondered why she was searching for Su and also why she was so dirty. Yet she had managed to make it here very easily.

"There's no way we are bringing you to the Genesis building to speak to any of the representatives right now. Have you looked at yourself? You're filthy and you have barely anything that makes you seem like a proper representative. You are coming with me and getting cleaned up. And if you try and argue..." Remey made it clear that she would make sure this new addition got cleaned up.

Su smiled a little roughly as she made it clear Remmey was just being nice even though it sounded like a threat. "I can make sure that your people have a place. Walker is away and would normally handle this. But while we help you get cleaned up and relax a bit, why not tell me more about your journey? The north is dangerous and it's rare to hear that some meet the few ice dragons around there. Not many have come here yet themselves because they prefer the isolation."

With Su making it clear that Remey was just this way, the shifter woman seemed to get excited. She appeared to be an excitable and bubbly person compared to what some might expect from a race that shifted from appearance to appearance. Yet, that might be why she was the one that had connection to so many and so much experience.

"I am called Iona, I am one of the longest living shifters at the age of ninety three, the reason I can live this long is because when I was surviving I took the form of monsters first. Doing so I fought as one and managed to consume some of a dragon's heart. That is how I met a dragon and learned of rogue dragons. I lived with them for a short while before moving on."

"I lived with the elves who have various moving villages, an isolated town of dwarves who forge with ice, and even some other monsters who hide away on the mountains called blizzard tarantulas. But I eventually managed to find a talent for living with the humans who make their villages in the warmer days at the edges of the frozen territories."

"I have a class called battle diplomat now. It's interesting because it lets me take better forms to meet with those who wish to live in peace. It also lets me strengthen myself to fight for that peace if I so desire it. I hope we can work together." Su paused as she passed some scented soap made with various herbs that Remey had made up with alchemy.

The small room attached to the alchemy lab should be for cleaning off dangerous potions or preventing contamination of potions. However, Remey used it as a hidden spot to clean up and relax. She was very happy that this place could be so valuable right now.

The more that Su asked about the traveling and forms that Iona had taken, the more she began to understand the lives of the shifter race. The challenges and the ways that they ahd lived until now. Each and every form they took was so deeply connected with them that it shaped every form they took and every method that they took to survive in peace.

The fact that Iona couldn't tell her about a shifter race that ahd been purposefully going around to cause harm was amazing. But then again, Iona only knew of the shifter race that was intelligent. She didn't even put herself in the same thoughts as monsters like mimic or doublegangers. Those were monsters that couldn't even be considered within the same

species or type.

Nothing at all worth the thought because the shifter race would make sure they didn't even near the places they lived.
