Shapeshifting

Thanks everyone who's been reviewing Hanging On – more thanks in the next part :-) BTW, Sparrow – what are A1s?

Comments worshipped: commenters deified. I can take criticism :-) So anything oyu have to say welcomed, if you'd be so kind.

Huntcall

When the moon is bright and the stars are aglow

If you look to the night and listen to its sighs

Where the paths are lit by the lights of the gods

You may glimpse our shadows passing by

For there's magick running swift in our burning hearts

And we won't be chained by the ways you know

There are worlds to explore and creatures to become

With the sky above and the ground below.

We run in packs and we run in herds

We fly with the snow and we dance with the sea

The cares of a man are nothing to us;

With so much to find and so much to see.

We were human once and our blood ran cold

With no copper heat, no sweet hunting cry

But we found ourselves in the depths of the night;

You may glimpse our shadows passing by.

But if you walk through our lands, then beware of the dark

Like you we were once; but a brief breath of fire

Stirred our ravenous souls and our magick awoke

And you see, all we have is a wild desire

To hunt and to kill and to be what we are

For this is the truth they will hide from you still;

That a magical Gift is a magical curse

And the curse of the gods only does what it will.
