What a lovely day. Lovely and very grey. Since it had been pretty windy and cloudy all day long, Aphaderuiondur couldn't really tell if it was a day or an evening at the moment. It had been quite dark anyway.
He had left his house earlier this day, when his brother had decided to go for a walk around the city and maybe play some music with his violin, but Aphaderuiondur hadn't been interested in such thing as walking. He had felt way too energic for something like that, and so he had headed towards the woods. He was only wearing soft, dark brown leather boots and grey cotton trousers which had one, dark brown stripe going down along the leg on each side of trousers, and the stripes matched the boots pretty well. Even though the weather was not nice at all, the man with a blue tattoo didn't wear a shirt. None of his friends would have been surprised about that, but shape-shifters did have a good metabolism and and they didn't get cold easily. Only in winters he would cover his torso with a shirt or a jacket, but not now, when it still was the summer! At least, almost the summer. Trees were still green and sun still shined over Crypt some days. This just was not the day.
Anyway, back in the woods of Quinn, Aphaderuiondur had decided to startle an unwary hunter, who he had followed for some time now. Hunter had a brown hooded cape and a short bow, and he always stopped behind small trees for some while, maybe to listen to birds or other animals he was hunting. Aphaderuiondur thought that it would be a perfect trick to run ahead the hunter, change to the tree-shape, wait for him to come and then turn into a human when he would be close enough. The shape-shifter was so enthusiastic about the trick that he was almost giggling out loud. To be faster than the hunter and to be able to get around him from a good distance - because he of course didn't want to get shot - Aphaderuiondur turned into a maned wolf and took a long curve around the hunter, turned himself into a tree and stood still, waiting for the hunter to arrive. If he would keep going to the same direction he was walking when Aphaderuiondur first saw him, he would arrive.
It seemed like Aphaderuiondur's plan didn't quite work, because he startled awake hearing a horrible noise coming out from the woods. The hunter didn't arrive apparently, because Aphaderuiondur had fallen asleep while he had been waiting for him. But now something had woken him up, and he didn't yet know, what it was.
The thing was about to get clear when a raccoon raced through the undergrowth of the forest straight toward Aphaderuiondur, jumped and scratched him, climbed up and stood on his head. Aphaderuiondur was still a bit tired and he didn't first understand what was going on, but then he noticed the blue, ugly thing that had been chasing the raccoon. Stupid animals. Aphaderuiondur knew that if he changed his form, he would have nice red scratches all over his tummy, chest and neck. If he would turn into a wolf to drive away that blue what-ever-it-was, the raccoon would absolutely get a heart-attack and try to kill him with those tiny little claws. So, the best thing he could do, was to roll a long root around this aggressive blue creature and throw it away hoping it would never return. And that's what he did. The blue thing was so concentrated in growling to the raccoon that it didn't notice the roots that arrived to pick it up and throw it into the ditch with power. And there it went, whined and seemed to run away.
"Such a pain in the ass", a laughing voice from inside the tree sighed, while Aphaderuiondur grabbed the raccoon with his branches and slowly turned into a human again. The leaves became fingers, branches became arms and roots became legs. As he had guessed, he had red scratches all over his front body, but they didn't really hurt that much.
"All right little buddy, I just saved your life", Aphaderuiondur said smiling, holding the raccoon in his arms and then gently dropped him down.
"You should be very thankful", he said then and wiped his chest, "just look what you did."
