Ariel walked deep in thought besides the new crew of Caliban and Dede. He felt like bursting out a barbingini in frustrated anger. Everyone saw him as this adorable cuddly pet. Their hands quickly find their way to his lush pelt. He wished they didn't but most of all he wished he didn't like it.
"Eeeeeh," He grunted to himself.
He is more than just a pet, has no one noticed that he is capable of speech? He can speak all human and demi human languages... to a degree.. well actually he is more psychic than multi lingual, but soon he felt that his tongue will unfurl and words .. actual words would come out.
"Eee!", he promised himself.
Not that he was the most clever creature around of course. He gazed lovingly at the Great duck from the pond, Dede. He had so much food and autonomy thanks to this brilliant Duck. They no longer had to wait for scraps and tiny morsels. They go to whatever sweet smelling mana shop and demand the best items they had. Of course he ate as daintily as possible, Dede was looking. Meanwhile, Caliban bless her heart slobbered everything left.
"Ee, Ee, Ee." He chuckled.
He didn't want to admit it but Cali was the best wing girl any prideful gay guy would want. She made him look so good compared to her... well... less sightly visage. The poor dear had a face only a brother could love.
"Eeeeh," he sighed for his pitiful sister.
She was really the best and funniest girl but no one seemed to have noticed . Of course, her void aura played a big role in detering everyone. She was so strong with much untapped potential. If only Gwen understood what Cali was, but even he, sharp as whip, did not know how to describe it for some reason, but he and Cali were in a constant state of flux. They become whatever Gwen really wanted. She has yet to realize this!

" Eeeeeeee," he pouted in dismay at Gwen's slowness.
He was a mongoose when she wanted him to stop a deathworm, then he was a kirin when she lost her kirin medallion. It's poor Cali that got the most of the burnt. One form more horrific than the one before. He knew Cali hated the new forms, she quickly returns to the shapless worm form as soon as she can. He gently brushed her onix cheek in a genuine gesture of love. No shape is better than an ugly shape, eh sister?
"Shaa! Shaa!," she cooed in a shy voice.
The duck suddenly turned around to inspect them. Ariel froze for a second. Dede was always like this. He inspected the dynamics of the siblings in calculating eyes. On several occasions, Ariel tried to read Dede's mind but everything there was in numbers. He suspected that Dede was also psychic and practiced mind shield religiously. However, there were those rare moments when he heard him using words. They were not good words. You see Dede wanted to eat everyone for the sake of shutting them up.
" Eeeee?" He asked the duck when he almost devoured them with his hungry duck eyes.
Yes, it was surprizing to know that this fluffy rainbow duck had this morbid fascination. To his knowledge, Dede never acted upon his thoughts. Though the possibility that he could , sent butterflies in his draconic tummy.
"Quack," was Dude's curt answer.
Would Dede ever eat him, Ariel wondered. Then stumbling on virtually nothing when he realized his lewd question.
" Eeee! Eeee! Eeee!" He shook his head furiously as pink mana basically glittered around him. Why is he like this! Ariel the Cute? More like Ariel the Lewd! He hurried up to catch up with the crew before he was left alone amongst gaga eyed humans. He scurried fast and past one such small human with her baby tiger.
"Ee, Ee, Ee," he laughed at the silly humans, big and small as he dashed to his sister who was feeling more awkward by the minute when he wasn't there to break the void curse. ----------------------------------------
