Sara smiled at the lecturing a goddess comment. "I may be a goddess, but I don't know everything there is to know." Sara sighed and mentally steadied herself. "I was in a war several centuries ago; many people, most were my friends one way or another, died. Hence this wall." Sara motioned to the wall. "One of my best friends, who happened to be my familiar, died in the final battle against the enemy. The war lasted about four years or so. Lena, the goddess of the city at the time, arrived just in time to kill Bara, the Vampire who thought she could take Wyld Nites. The city was rebuilt and those that were still alive left in the following months."
Sara stopped and caught her breath. She did not want to talk about her children and family just yet; they still have a few years of life left.
"I think the reason's my mana, as you put it, is very strong is that I'm a Shifter who was made into a goddess. I still have all my Shifter powers; including the rare androgynous power."

Pixel blinked a bit "Erm forgive me I didn't know..." she fluttered in place a moment and tossed a few more pebbles for Rover to fetch before suddenly asking "What's a shifter?"

"That's short for Shape Shifter. The members of the species can take the form of just about any living form that one can think of. Of course, there's limitations on what would be considered living. Like dinosaurs. They lived once, but not now; therefore cannot be Shifted into," Sara explained. "The Shifter species is different from the Werewolves who can only take the form of their inner wolf. The main way to tell the difference between a Shifter in wolf form and a Werewolf in wolf form is their aura. Each aura's unique to a species and a particular person."

Pixel scratched her drone-friend's little head. "I can't see auras actually... That requires use of the Mana. I can taste the energies I'm feeding on, but they sort of run together as you might imagine." she smirked "Hey, here you are presented with a new form to try, Ever considered being a pixie for a little while?"

"I'm not sure since I just met one. I've taken the form of a few of the different species before." Sara focused a bit on the form of a pixie. Taking the form of a different species took a little more time for a Shifter than it would take just taking the form of a known animal. After about a minute, Sara found herself actually hovering in the air.

Pixel hovered up to eye-level with Sara "Careful, you just lost about 70 pounds doing that." she gestured to the park "The world's a lot bigger from down here, unless you're flying above it. And even then."

"This is so on the opposite side of the spectrum of the Dragon," Sara said, trying to grow accustomed to the wings. She looked at the wall and found it gigantic compared to about a minute ago.

Pixel shivered at that "Ugh... Dragons are scary from this size..." the tilted her head curiously fluttering about "Out of curiosity, can you taste the Mana around here?"

"I can taste something, but it seems so faint to me. It's like a scent you can barely smell and try to pinpoint, but you can't." Sara fluttered around, seeing if she could get around with going off of what she had learned from being in a Dragon form.

Pixel held up a finger "Stop trying to sense it. Let the mana come to you. Fill you, sustain you." in a sort of mock humorous way, she crossed her legs and closed her eyes hovering in place looking practically contempative "Then the many tastes of the mana will come."

"Oh, stop acting like Obi-Wan," Sara said as she attempted a loop with a little less than graceful results. "It'll come to me."

Pixel giggled and did a number aerial tricks "It usually does." She looked over at Rover who got his leg stuck in a gopher hole, She flew over to him and helped him out "Silly robot. That hole's too small for you." which brought forth a whine from Rover.

Sara looked and saw the robot stuck in a hole. She fluttered over to help, not focused on "tasting" the Mana that Pixel had mentioned.

Pixel managed to get his legs out and dusted off some of the dirt from his leg, and Rover lept onto her in gratitude. This made the faint taste of caring fill the air filling Sara and Pixel's senses with the wonderful taste.

The taste seemed to have gotten stronger, but it still seemed faint to Sara. Maybe it was due to the fact that she still retained her Shifter abilities; which could be seen as a type of magic. "The taste seems to be stronger, but it's still faint to me," Sara said.
