Pain cracked through him in a mighty gush, rippling though his muscles in mighty contractions as his form rippled and was shaped by the new dimension he was traveling into. Magic changed him, insuring that his new form would be able to blend in with the natives. It didn't stop the process from making him grit his teeth as every muscle in his body contracted, becoming denser as it shrunk, but retaining their mighty strength. His bones shrank in size, becoming thick and powerful but allowing his frame to shrink. In essence he shrank a few feet while retaining his incredible strength and durability.
The new world he appeared in didn't come about instantaneously, but rather like the dawn, it came in a haze that slowly lightened revealing its truth in tantalizing slowness. Raven was behind him and to his left, while Nic protected his right flank as they appeared inside the summoning circle. Loro watched as the shapes appeared slowly, five tall ones surrounding one shorter one.
In his new form he saw that the taller figures were nearly as tall as he was, a shocking development. He heard Raven's murmured words behind him. " This sucks, I hate being shorter that all of them." Loro chuckled darkly as the world clarified around them, he felt a prickle of unease cross across the nape of his neck.
The smaller figure was a human woman. Her blonde hair was pulled into a thick tail that was draped lazily over her shoulder. Green eyes shone like emeralds, but Loro caught the hint of water in her eyes, tears yet to fall perhaps, Loro thought as the ring of protective magic fell away as he stepped forward,
His sensitive nose picked up the scent of the undead even as his keen eyes noticed their unnatural pallor. What were vampires doing here?
"Greetings human." Nic rumbled from behind him. Loro nearly snorted with laughter at Nic's subtle attempt at humor.
"And vampires." Nic continued on after a momentary delay. They looked at him with a slight disdainful look down their aristocratic noses. No matter what dimension they were in, vampires were snobs it seemed. Those these five seemed to need a serious attitude adjustment.
"Your not needed here." The tallest vampire intoned. He was tall with broad shoulders and close cut black hair. His dark eyes seemed to peer out with the weight and power of a dozen men. His perfect porcelain skin seemed to absorb the moonlight as a small smug smile crossed his face. He oozed superiority from his very pores, a dominant figure if Loro had ever seen one.
"Blood drinker, you need to remove yourself from my presence if you wish to retain your teeth. Raven barked out from behind him.
All five vampires hissed at this like scalded cats. Vampires did not generally enjoy being called blood drinkers. Or being told to leave an area, something about being immortal super humans gave them some serious arrogance. At least in Loro's dimension they understood that giant's were the unequivocal rulers. These vampires hadn't had to deal with a giant ever before.
"We are the ruler's here, and we have decided that you do not belong here." The lead vampire continued on.
Loro ignored him and focused instead on the woman in their midst. He could smell the heady perfume of her magic liberally infusing her blood. She was the mage who had stabilized this end of the portal and would open the portal back up to let them go back to their own dimension.
