ShapeShifter's Tale

Prolouge

~~*~~

I kept running towards the the exit as the guards rans towards me.

"Catch that thief!" the other guard said.

I kept running until I finally I reached the exit. The guards are still after me so I ran through the forbidden forest. In my hand was a special artifact that I have stolen. If only my partner hadn't revealed my cover, I wouldn't be chased by the guards.

As I kept walking through the forest, I noticed the guards didn't follow me. I guess they believed that old myth about this forest. That noone ever came back alive when they entered the forest.

I searched for an exit but no luck. I was about to rest on a tree when I heard a noise. A sound of a bear growling. I hear it running towards my direction.

Frightened, I ran away from the sounds of footsteps or should I say pawsteps. I kept running with all I can. Tired of running I changed my form into a cheetah.

Why haven't I thought of that earlier?

This time I was able to run faster than the bear.

While running, I got myself cornered. I was at the edge of the cliff. If I fall, I would fell to that giant whirlpool.

Then I heard the bear catched up to me.

It wasn't just a normal bear. It had four red eyes, black fur, pointy ears. It's one of those mutated animals.

Cornered, I felt that I should fight the bear so I shapeshifted into the bear. Now it's fair. The bear growled, it seems like it's ready to kill me.

Just as I was about to step forward, a lightning striked the ground infront of me. Shocked, I accidentally stepped back causing me to inbalance myself and fall.

The last thing I remember is that I fell to the huge whirlpool. I remembered getting sucked into it.

...

Why did I even agreed to do this mission?
