Disclaimer: I own NOTHING! Well...nothing by Edios, Silicon Knights, or...oh yeah, Crystal Dynamics! I own Kyria, Naomi, Maru, Larnos...and whomever else I come up with. I am only going to do this once. Read it a few million times and LEAVE ME ALONE!
Kyria dodged the beast's attack with an agile backflip. That was when she used the power she had been training for her whole life. She felt the fur prickle as it quickly covered her body. As she slumped down onto all fours, she felt her spine lengthen into a tail. Her eyes went from their normal colors, blue and violet, to an emerald green. Her face lengthened into a white muzzle until she stood before her bobcat opponent, a fully grown wolf.
Kyria felt the liquid steel power in her hind legs coil and release as she leapt at the rabid cat. The feline tried to escape but the young shapeshifters speed overwhelemed it. She felt with her jaws for the bobcat's jugular vein and relaxed slightly when the cat's lifeblood began to pour into her mouth.
Kyria dropped the lifeless scrap of fur and turned to the judges, who were watching the fight from the stands of the arena. To add to the effect (and possibly boost her score) she stared at them as she changed back.
"Good use of shifting ability, agility, and the quickest kill we've seen in a long time. Good work Miss Layonie." said a man in long robes who sat in the center of the judges.
"Thank you Master Larnos." Kyria replied with a bow.
"Top marks. Congratulations. The celebration for all the students who passed the exam will be in one weeks time, after the rest are finished."
Kyria bowed one last time to her teacher and left the arena. Her joy was so great that on the way back to her dorm room, that she nearly didn't notice the dark figure step out from the pillar behind her. She whipped around to face a girl of about her age. She had shoulder length brown hair and her face was half bear.
"What do you want Maru?" Kyria snapped.
"I heard that you passed." The girl, Maru, replied with a sneer.
"Your point?"
"I wanted to congratulate you."
"By clamping your jaws on my spine?" Kyria asked as she eyed the girl's half shifted face.
"Anyway, I'm taking the trials next."
"Good luck."
"I won't need it."
"Whatever." Kyria said as she started back to her room.
"KY! WAIT UP!" A voice behind Kyria sounded as she whirled at the mention of her nickname.
"Naomi! How'd you do?"
"I passed! Maru said something about you getting top marks!"
"Yup."
"That's great!"
"Thanks."
"Wanna go pig out and watch some movies to celebrate?"
"Aright!"
At that the two best friends sped off to Naomi's room.
Sorry about how short this is. I didn't have much time today. I realize there is nothing to do with Legacy of Kain in this chapter but bear with me! Next chapter we meet a rather sexy pre-fallen Razzy! ^_^ I also need at least one review and a bit more time to type before I post chapter 2!
