Nix And Pix 1 The Shape-Shifter

We are on a dark alley, on Bryanii. The city of the darkness. There are some policemen investigating a murder. It seems that someone was murdered and then something drank all the blood of the corpse. The face of the victim is unrecognizable. Obviously all the policemen thinks that another vampire is on the loose. It's not the first time. But they have no clue as to how the body reached this place. 1 hour ago, the body wasn't here. And we are on broad daylight. Even if the alley is dark, it's not dark enough for a vampire.

Meanwhile a guy is looking to these policemen from a close roof while shaking his head. ''how can they be so inefficient?'' said the man.

''But Nix, I'm sure that they are trying their best!'' said a small Pixie that sat on the man's shoulder.

''And that's the problem... if they were at least lazy, there would be room for improvement. But as they are now I'll be needed for a lot more time than I'm willing to stay.''

''Then it's their fault, Nix. But you at least will have done everything you could! You are a genius! You can't try to shoulder every case we come across!'' said the pixie while floating around Nix's head.

''This will be the last one, okay? They need the help... they are not even considering that it's not a vampire...'' said Nix, while turning into a pool of water after jumping from the roof. The water splashed on the floor of the alley, startling all the policemen, and making them point their guns to the water.

''What was that?'' ''Someone threw something filled with water, or something like that?'' ''What if its a Nereid?'' they were all thinking what could it be.

Then the water begun to form the shape of the man again. ''I'm afraid that the correct term for me is Nixie. Incompetent fools.'' said Nix with an angry face. He doesn't want to be called like those b.i.t.c.h girls called Nereid. It's like a big insult to Nix.

Then the policeman that looked like the chief policeman, got closer. ''Who are you? What do you want? We are on the middle of a investigation!'' said with an angry face... and fat, by the way.

''What I want is to solve your investigation seeing that you guys are too incompetent for that!'' said Nix, while looking past the chief policeman, and directly to the corpse.

''You? Get out of here before I make you hand-cuffed!''

''Stooooop'' the pixie that just now was getting here as it couldn't fly that fast. ''What my friend Nix want's to say, is that this isn't the work of a vampire! Right Nix?'' and then added on Nix's ear ''Be a little more gentler! The police will never like us if you keep insulting them!''

Nix sighed. ''right... this can't be a vampire. And you guys should know why...

The chief policeman looks confused ''what do you mean?''

Nix then got closer to the corpse and said ''why couldn't you take the corpse to the forensic laboratory?''

''because without any liquid as it is... it will break if we move it...''

''then on which state should be the corpse when it reached this place?''

''it should be... still with blood...''said slowly the chief policeman still angry.''what does that have to do with anything?''

''urgh... this is why you all are incompetent... look, if the body had blood less than an hour ago, that means that the 'vampire' you are talking about, would have drank all the blood while under the bright sun! Does that make sense? No! Besides, drinking all the blood does not take all the water of a body! It makes a lot more sense for the culprit to be something that dries the people. I know vampires are famous, but come on!'' Nix was really p.i.s.sed by the policemen that always blame the murders to vampires or werewolfs just because are bigger in number, and because are more well-known creatures.

The chief policeman was red of anger after that, and asked furious to Nix ''then who do you reckon that did this?''

''that's your work! I'll only say that probably is something that can control the water inside other beings. So Nixies and Nereids are out... it could be a Naiad... or a Naga... but probably it's a Rusalka... I saw one half an hour ago hiding on dark alleys some streets nearer the center of the city.'' said Nix with a calmed tone, after the initial outburst.

''hey Nix... are you going to help them more? Or can we continue our journey?'' asked the pixie.

''we are continuing. They can track that Rusalka by themselves-'' said Nix but was interrupted by a water explosion behind him.

The policemen were startled again, and pointed their guns to the ma.s.s of water that was a water golem

''this is probably something that the Rusalka did...'' thought Nix, before saying.'' everyone! Don't attack me!'' and he shape-shifted into a humanoid form that was bigger, and was more close in form to the water golem. ''Pix! Find the Rusalka!'' ''On it''

The next 20 seconds were an amazing view for the policemen that just felt really weak in this society. The two water beings were fighting equally on power, and after those 20 seconds, Nix got a clean hit on the water golem's head. Making it disappear.

Then Nix heard Pix yell ''Here!!'' and instantly shape-shifted into a two-meters long wyvern and flew towards the voice. There he saw that Pix was avoiding the attacks of the Rusalka, and when one of the water b.a.l.l.s were going to hit Pix, Nix got in the middle and didn't even felt it with the scales this wyvern form has. He turned towards the surprised Rusalka, and used a water breath that he was sure that the Rusalka would absorb. And when she begun to feed with the water breath. Nix shape-shifted all his body but his head in his human form, and took a pill out of his pocket. Pill that he immediately threw on the water breath, making the Rushalka take it with the water.

When the policemen showed up on the scene. They saw that the Rusalka was tied up... and that she had lost her powers, at least, temporally.

Nix and Pix where walking out of the city a day later towards a new place. ''do you think we will ever find it?'' asked Pix. ''of course we will, Pix... we have all the time in the world after all... and meanwhile... I can make this!'' said Nix, and just as he finished, he shape-shifted into the same human form he has been always using, but this time with bigger eyes and perfect smooth face. It was an anime version of himself. Pix begun to laugh ''hahahahaha, yeah... we have all the time in the world...''
