Auria got out of her trance pretty easily and noted that the weird harpies weren't seeming that agitated... Just sleeping soundly although they were looking famished. Auria didn't have a lot in her little kitchen, but these harpies were special... Perhaps a grant? She shook her head trying to get the temptations of human greed out of her head. Greed may not have been foreign to elves, but selling out some unique nature just because of a high price was not elven. She got out a decent amount of food for her patient and the specimens... She hoped they'd be fine with mostly grains. A little while later Auria was surprised how happily the harpies were chowing on mostly corn... Domonic was still sore, but the human man was drawn to the scent of a decent breakfast. There'd only be so much time till she'd have to open up so she'd get this going fast. As Domonic hobbled to a table Auria push him hard into the chair and stood tall stopping him from getting back up.
"What was some scum like you doing up on that mountain!?! Performing some mad magic experiments?!?" Auria barked out. The harpies seemed actually frightened... Not spooked into a fight, but legit frightened. Whatever he did took the wild out of them.
Domonic still weaked asked "What? I don't..." Auria plunged her hand into Domonic's thigh.
After a sharp scream Auria said "Shame that harpy up there had to give you that injury on your thigh... but maybe if you explained it to me the healing can begin..." All Auria had to do to explain was show her bloodied hand which was nature-shaped into a harpy talon.
"I don't know... I just got here and FUCK!!!" Domonic shouted as a second set of harpy talons were driven into his shoulder.
"Relax, just tell me what you did. Too much unneeded movement will reopen those wounds..."
"A goddess gave me power an-" A flash of rage welled up inside of Auria. Goddess fucking indeed, like there were any fucking gods left in this god forsaken world. She didn't mean to go for any vitals, but her nature shaped talons went for the head. Domonic brought up his hand and reflexively brought out his power. The old elf hadn't felt this kind of magic before, but she didn't like it. She could feel it reaching and twisting her very identity. As Domonic looked he finally saw what his power was doing as the Old graceful elf seemed to shrink a little, her features softened considerably getting rather cute, her ears going from a little pointed to more exaggeratedly pointed. Then there were her breasts which seemed to have grown a cup size or two. Auria was in a daze looking at herself a bit as her brain was comprehending what was going on exactly. Her clothes were a little ill fitting, but fit well enough to work around in.
"Ah! I'm so sorry! I don't know what came over me!" Auria panicked as she used what healing magic she could to seal up the wounds she had just opened up. The nature shaped talons changing into dainty hands. "Here let me get you something to eat!"
Domonic graciously grabbed the food and started to chew on it a little confused on what just happened... There was something about his power which seemed to pacify those in this world, but what he did felt a bit like mind-control in a way. Rather unethical in his opinion. Auria's attitude had seemed to change. Being more happy to serve and less annoyed at Domonic's presence... Even enjoying the harpies more instead of being merely curious.
"Ah!" Auria went after petting the harpies "I need to start preparing and opening up! So many people who need this little spot to help find trails, and general help!" and then she sprang into action to try to do her job properly with enthusiasm. Domonic had a feeling his power was tied to a word on the tip of his tongue... Dom... something... Dominate? No, that was a little too forceful for what his power did... Domonic just let himself rest and heal in this safe spot for awhile as he pondered what was going on in this world, and what he was even expected to do.
