Mikael wandered to the ashlands to investigate these rings of flowers and such that were popping up and causing trouble. It was rather curious and he wondered what was causing them. He warily avoided the city however not wanting to run into anyone who may recognize him. He was no longer a little child but still worried about being dragged back and such. He tried not to think on it much however as darius soon screeched and circled an area ahead before flying back and landing on his shoulder letting him know where the flowers were. He relaxed a bit and refocused on the present.
"Good job darius" he remarked as he walked forward looking at the flowers curiously. He then dropped his pack and let darius lay atop it to rest for the time being sure the other was a bit tired from flying and trying to find the anomaly. He made sure to set out some food and wated for the young drake before he opened his journal and did some sketches of the flowers in the landscape before beginning to walk forward for a closer investigation of the flowers and their species. They looked different from anything he had seen before.

Usually exploring a damaged site of battle was not exactly where one, Nieven Oakenthorn, would want to be. However today that was where he was headed he’d heard of some rumors about some strange flowers blooming and wanted to check them out for himself. He had a few reasons for it for one, he liked the thought of making a discovery and being credited with a part of charon’s history, for two since these things were new and being flocked at he needed to be there to keep up with the times, and for three simply put if the trip ended up being some sort of researcher’s wild imagination at least he’d have a nice bouquet for himself.
After leaving his room at the Dancer’s Den he decided to head out of Darkveil and make way for Drakolt Crater. He would take his time making several stops in the intense heat for food and drink. After an hour or so the sylvan elf had arrived at the scene of the rumors. There it was he wasn’t there during the battle and hadn’t had time to check it out but Mount Drakolt truly was gone. In its place stood a giant hole, a permanent reminder of the dangerous monster that had tried to attack Charon.
As he stood over the crater he glanced to the side looking around at his surroundings. He covered his forehead with his left hand and looked around until he spotted a familiar figure. A smile appeared on his face as he shouted, “Why hello there Mikael Mooreson fancy seeing you here and oh is that Darius I spotted over there”, and began walking over.

Mikael looked at the crater amazed after having arrived surprised to see the whole mountain just gone like that. He truly hoped that all the creatures living there made it out okay. His ears perked and tail lifted as he heard a voice turning towards the source before smiling brightly beginning to walk to meet him in the middle "Ah hello Nieven how are you?" he asked tilting his head happily. Darius meanwhile looked over and flew straight towards the other to greet him, slamming onto his shoulder and chirping a greeting to the sylvan man. The drake was happy to see the other and was also hoping to get pets or at least maybe find a snack.
Mikael chuckled at the drakes actions and stopped once he was standing before the other. "Are you also here to check into this strange matter?" he asked curiously. It was a bit surprising to see the other all the way out here but it was welcome. "How are you today my friend?" he asked as he looked over the other making sure there was no scratches or anything on the other. Seeing none he then turned towards the crater "I suppose we should head down"

The Sylvan elf walked towards his familiar friend and responded cheerily throwing his arms in the air, “I am doing incredibly well my friend, you know the same old same old. Being incredibly beautiful, making money, spending that money, and other various things. Thank you for asking, how are you Mikael Mooreson? I hope that you’ve been well and staying safe out of sight of dangerous creatures”.
He was taken by surprise as Darius landed on his shoulder and perched himself there he chuckled amused, “It is nice to see you too my little scaly friend, ah I think I might have something for you”, he then reached into his jacket pocket handing the little one a small bag of nuts and raisins he was saving for the journey back.
Nieven pauses letting the baby drake observe his treat before returning his attention towards the fellblood in front of him, “Yes I am, I heard that there was a strange patch of flowers that people were checking out. So I decided to have a look at it myself to see what all the fuss was about”.
He then walks forward taking a moment to let the little drake fly back to Mikael as he says, “Yes, let us begin”.

“Yes I’m doing quite well thank you for asking! I’m glad you are also well! Are you hear to work this mission as well? If so I’m glad to work with you on this” he remarked.
Darius chirped happily as his wings flapped sniffing at the food a bit confused and trying a bit. The little drake frowned confused at this non meat snack but nuzzled the others cheek anyway as a thanks.
“I see well it will be lovely working with you again. It is quite the strange sight I’m not sure what to make of it yet in all honesty.” Darius soon flew back to mikael who crouched at the edge of the strange happenings “it doesn’t seem related to Druidic magic or any other form of nature magic. Whatever this change is it is uncommon and I have no idea what properties it could hold” he explained. His journal was near him with drawings and sketches of the flowers and the strange circle and such with notes along side it all. “Have you seen anything of this nature before?” He asked cocking his head to the side a little bit hoping the other may have some sort of lead or answer

“Yes indeed I’m sure it will be such a blessed day for you working with such a marvelous man as I. With my help and yours, this shall be a simple task that holds no weight against our combined efforts”.
He looks down at the strange patch of flowers eyeing it with great curiosity and wonder. They truly were some of the most beautiful flowers that he’d ever seen before. Their vermillion color was so striking that it left him wanting one. However as he smelled them something seemed off, he wasn’t sure exactly what but there was something wrong here. “Hm, this truly is odd, isn’t it? I’ve never heard of these types of flowers before in my life and I consider myself quite well versed in the matter. My butler, Theodore, had me memorize every single type of flower found in the Crescent Isle at a young age. They have no signs of being planted I see, no equipment or tracks to be found”, he says looking around them, “A flower such as this is entirely unknown to my knowledge at least”.
He crouches down next to Mikael and looks at it further, “I don’t know Mikael Mooreson but I have a bad feeling about this. These flowers are strange but I want to pick one and take it for myself. How about you?”.

“Indeed I’m sure you’re quite right” he chuckled amused enjoying the others compan. Mikael observed the flowers by the other after finishing his sketch of the strange scene before him and took a few more notes at the strange smell and sight “yes I’ve never seen anything like this before. It seems animals are wary as well considering not a leaf is out of place on these flowers. No signs of eating and the grass isn’t flattened inside the circle.” He observed looking at the scene before them. “I’ve traveled all over Charon and do not recall anything such as this… they are beautiful almost ethereal” Mikael remarked, his tail swaying slowly in thought behind him
“I would like to study one further. Perhaps an alchemist can gather information from a petal or two as well to help identify this new special of flora” he remarked in agreement with a small nod. Darius looked at the flowers curiously wondering if they were tasty. Mikael reached out a hand gently touching a petal of one of the flowers with a curious gaze as he set the journal completely aside and within a moment he plucked a flower

“Of course, I am a brilliant genius whose intelligence knows no bounds so this is of no surprise that my theory is correct. Although what you say about this seeming ethereal seems to be the eloquent way of saying it”, he says indulging in flaunting his ego.
“I’m sure my eyes could discern whatever an Alchemist could, however having someone else look at this with more tools would be good. We should take at least one with us if not for the sake of discovery and exploration”, he says with a smirk before mumbling under his breath, “and totally not to go into my wardrobe as an accessory”.
Nieven looks at Mikael before plucking one of the strange flower’s petals off before suddenly an intense feeling washes over him. He clutches his head in pain as his entire body feels as if it's being twisted and churned by something. Almost as if he’s being sucked into a tornado’s vortex he closes his eyes and stumbles around for a moment before getting his bearings once again.
Holding his head Nieven stammers, “Hold on a moment? Why am I suddenly looking into some sort of mirror”, before chuckling, “Although I’m not complaining considering how beautiful I am”.

Mikael chuckled softly. He wasn’t overly bothered by the others who as much as some may be. There was more to the man before him than that, he’d seen glimpses of it here and there. “Right then let’s get one to be researched and one for your personal ‘research” he said with a small smile to the other. Mikael had reached to pouch a flower when a wave of nausea rose over him and his vision swam until it was black. He grimaced falling to a sitting position and grimaced as he looked around pausing as he saw Darius was no longer on his shoulder and something was on his back… he flinched and stood confused stumbling a bit as he felt unbalanced. He looked back for his tail only to see nothing there… wait his clothes were different too… as he reached a hand back he felt an unfamiliar cape and froze seeing his skin color and his own body standing before him.
“What…? How am I…? N…nievene is that you?” He questioned looking at his own form speaking. It was his voice but it spoke like nievene did. “What happened? You’re me and I think I’m you?”

“Wait a second? Wait a freaking second, no this can’t be”, Nieven cries out as he hears his voice playback in his head.
That was not his voice, not at all it didn’t match his great cadence and sound instead it sounded…like Mikael’s. The man he was talking to only a moment ago, it was then that he had the realization to look at himself. Nieven in Mikael’s body looked down he saw clothes that were not his own, he looked behind himself and saw a tail, he reached to his head and felt horns on top next to his raven-colored hair.
Nieven then opened his mouth and let out a guttural scream of utter pain and anguish, “NOOOOOOOOO MY BEAUTIFUL VISAGE OF PERFECTION GIVE IT BACK TO ME”, he then fell to the floor being the dramatic and extra person he was.
He jerked back up and grabbed his body that contained Mikael by the shoulders and shook him hard, “GIVE ME BACK MY BODY AT ONCE MY FRIEND. No offense intended but I’d like to be back in my wonderful body. How could this even happen? What sort of divine punishment is this?”.

Mikael tried to stay calm and think this through. What the hells was happening?!”ah nievene be careful! Try to calm down I’m sure we can figure this out!” He said trying to get the other to get up and stop. His eyes however widened when the other got up and grabbed him, holding onto the other to avoid falling. “I’m trying to figure out how but you need to stay calm for a moment! We must have done something…” he frowned. Darius had flown to a tree branch and was watching confused and with great alarm at this situation
“Now then we walked towards the flowers and picked one… then things went hazy and I found myself in your body and you were in mine… maybe if we repeat this process as we did before it will fix things.” He offered though was unsure if that would fully work. It was strange holding onto himself and wait- was he really shorter than the other normally? Looking down on himself was strange and confusing and he tried to push his discomfort aside. “This is most peculiar…but we need to stay calm and we can find a way to reverse this I’m sure”

“Oh my goodness, I think I’m going to vomit this is unbelievable”, the sylvan elf would cry out still shaking Mikael nausea filling his stomach.
He stopped and let go of the man’s shoulders still freaked out and overwhelmed at the prospect of being in anyone’s body besides himself. Nieven simply tapped his foot and stayed deep in thought listening to Mikael using his voice speak, “Yes it appears to be that way, the flowers somehow without warning switched our bodies around. Those damned plants I swear I’ve never met a patch of flowers as unsightly and rude as these”, he huffed.
Hearing Mikael’s voice come out from his thoughts seriously unnerved him to no end.
“Perhaps what you’re saying is right, maybe if we do it again it will send us back to our original bodies. I hope you’re right on this thought because if not I cannot imagine not being in my own body for much longer. It’s unbearable to withstand to see my gracious perfect body not be mine at the moment. I say this with no offense intended my friend but this body simply does not match my perfect soul at all”.

"I know. I am not thrilled about this either. Your center of balance is entirely different from my own. It wouldn't be safe for you if you're stuck in my body..." he trailed off in though with a small grimace "Right so maybe if we try and do it exactly the same again at the same time then it will fix it so we are back to normal?" he said keeping his voice calm and soothing trying to comfort the other
"So are you ready to try and see if that works? Either way I am quite sure we can figure this out if we work together and stay calm. We can do this Nieven" he said with a soft smile hoping to help the other relax some. He was worried of many things right now but was happy to try and help other. It was already bad enough they were in the ash lands... If they found him and it was Nievene in his body...He dreaded the thought..."We need to get you safe..." he muttered worriedly. "At least neither of us was turned into darius right? That has to be less worrisome at the least" he tried to make some light humor

“Yes indeed the longer I am away from my body I can just feel the graciousness and radiance leave my soul itself. You’re the lucky one here Mikael you’re in the most perfect body in existence crafted by the gods themselves. But I think you’re right or well I guess I hope so because I’m not exactly sure what to do if this doesn’t work. Gods the thought of staying in this body permanently terrifies me more than facing down a colossal beast with a million teeth. This seems like the worst type of nightmare but we’re both awake…tell me this is all real, right?”, Nieven says, still shaken and panicked but slowly trying to calm down and figure out a solution thanks to Mikael.
The Sylvan elf takes a deep breath to center himself, closing his eyes and focusing, opening them once more with a determined look.
“Yes indeed I am, I will get my body back and we shall do this together no amount of magical flowers is enough to beat my supreme perfection and your… positive attitude. If I were in the body of Darius I daresay I’d faint of shock at least in your body I’m still able to walk and talk around but the thought of being relegated to a small scaly baby drake seems pretty horrifying..no offense intended Darius”, he says glancing at the little fellow.

Mikael listened to him panic and sighed. If he still had his tail it would have twitched in response to the others words. “I’m not any happier than you are about this. I think I prefer my normal body in all honesty but this is fine we will solve this now come on let’s prepare to see if this works” he remarked and carefully crouched to touch a petal of the flower though he waited for the other. Usually he could handle nievene but he wasn’t enjoying so many comments on his bod. Of course he understood the others worry however and merely took a breath to stay calm and relaxed.
Darius tilted his head as he watched the two and gave a little huff as he heard the others reply not seeming overly happy about the others idea of being a drake but he was a good little drake and had learned from Mikael to stay calm. Mikael smiled a little at the drake and kept his hand hovering under a petal. As the other crouched he glanced over “ready?” He asked before looking to the plant after a moment “right then here we go… three…two…one!”
