The Breaking

Surprise

"And by the looks of it, you need me. What happened to you?" He said as he observed my wolf-y form.

"Sheenas' pup accidentally melded with me." I could feel my ears twitch down.

"How does a pup accidentally meld with you?" He scrunched up his nose.

"He's a pup. Leave him alone." I barked. I growled a bit too. Which caused me to bring my hand up to cover my mouth.

"He?"

"Anguish." I stated. I felt a tug from my butt. I looked around to see Bain tugging on my tail slightly.

"So soft. It looks like moonlight." She smiled at my tail. Kinda creepy. Is this how animals felt when humans do this to them?

"Oh! I want to touch." Now Greer is touching my tail. It's not like it hurt or any thing, but it sure as hell was weird.

"Stop playing with my tail. Anguish, how do I turn you off?"

Just will it to stop.

Easier said than done. I thought about how I didn't want to be a wolf anymore. No luck. So I tried thinking of myself as I was before the wolf. Floating brown hair and brown eyes. None pointed ears or nails. And certainly no tail. I opened my eyes and Greer was right in front of my face.

"Can I help you?" I asked

"You're eyes are back to brown." He stated.

"What color were they before?" I wondered.

"Yellow. Like Sheenas. Yep you are now officially part of Sheenas pup. How in the world did you manage that?" He stepped back from me.

A soft whine came from behind me. I turned to find the small wolf. He had heard Greer and was now upset. I gave Greer a look and he looked at me innocently.

"Hey Anguish. Let's get you that deer."

Greer. Help him.

Why do I have to do it. He's your pup.

Because you made him upset. I looked at him with hands in my hips. He raised his hand in defeat.

"Alright Anguish. Let's get you that deer." He approached the pup and Anguish jumped up and ran behind me.

"You're mean." I laughed. He was. Greer sighed.

"I'm sorry. Please. I want to make it up to you." He looked genuinely sorry. I gave the pup an encouraging nod and he timidly walked to Greers side.

"Don't take too long. I'm hungry." Bain said with a smirk.

"Then you should hunt for something." Greer called back. The pup looked back at me. I was unable to move. He ran back to me.

"You have to come. We can't really be separated." So now he tells me.

"I won't be much use in hunting. But I'll try. Come on Bain." She trotted over to us. Greer was waiting impatiently.

"I can help with that. Just use me to hunt." His voice twinkled.

"Alright Anguish. I summon you." That felt better to say for some reason. I was enveloped in silver light once again.

"Part dragon. Part wolf. Now we just need you to become part bird." Greer said.

"What. You're part dark elf, wood elf, and dragon. I'd say you're also part bird or something." I teased my friend.

"Wait. Dragon? You're both part dragon?!" Fear as well as amazement mixed in her eyes.

"Uh, was that supposed to be a secret?" I asked Greer.
