A CHANGE

Within the forbidden chamber, bathed in the crimson glow of its recent feast, the beast lay sated. The taste of blood still lingered in its mouth, savoring the flavor as it basked in the afterglow of its carnal desires fulfilled.

The beast's body shuddered. A ripple a strange metamorphosis surging from within.

Paws contorted, bones shifting with sickening snaps beneath fur.

Claws became blunt nails. Hindquarters elongated, warped, and reshaped.

The wild mane of black flowed and twisted, strands morphing, shimmering... and falling to frame a face not animal, but hauntingly male.

Yellow eyes burned. Then flickered, fading to the startling green eyes of a male.

For one breathless moment, the beast was gone. In its place, a naked male lay.

Large, powerfully built, and strikingly handsome.

Grand King Daemonikai.

Then, as abruptly as it began, the change reversed.

Power drained, energy seeping away like sand through fingers.

The male convulsed, and the familiar fur and fangs returned.

Exhausted, the beast fell asleep.
