The guard screamed in fright, when the wolf seemed to have sprung up from nowhere. He backpedaled for a moment, and got a hold of his courage.

"It's that shapeshifter! They told us you were in league and here is the proof!" He started screaming at the top of his lungs. "Guards, to my aid on the bridge." From out of the dark, someone screamed back, though their words could barely be heard. The guard looked much braver now. He held his sword up and pointed it at both of them.

"You are bound by law as of this moment! Drop your weapon and you, assume your natural form!"
