Tao: (In her absence)
The wolf looked at the small feline with eyes of a teacher to a student, for this young one was far from understanding the world, yet already the prejudices and misconceptions were creeping in to override reason.
Speaking not aloud, as they were on a hunt, she instead spoke with her gift of mind-speak, touching the thoughts of the young cat, and gave this answer...
"Let us put our differences aside in the journey to do good for the land in which we live, my young friend. For this is a task much larger than you or I should be given to accomplish alone, yet it has been given, and we must do what we can to ensure the safety of all.
My friend Arcades uses a different form of power than I to do his shape changing. While he utilizes the power of a substitution to his real form, my form itself can alter, and be just as real as the the one I leave behind. In the dragon's subsitution, you see a lie, but in mine you see more truth. Arcades is a dragon, and nothing can change that, but I am as you see me, in both forms I take. Does this help you understand, young one?"
OOC>>>I hope I sounded Tao-ish enough for everyone!
