[h2]Going to beat the hell outta ya' [i]Collapses[/i][/h2] [@GreenGoat] [h3]5:59pm[/h3] This woman was insane! A gorilla pretending to be a shrine maiden for sure! This was the thoughts moving through the wolves intelligent (compared to other wolves) brain. The mangy mutt was indeed slowed by the protections placed upon the shrine, albeit it was showing ample resistance to them at the same time, perhaps it was due to the amalgamated form of its soul or perhaps it was due to the inheritent magic resisting properties of wolf-skin. That said, said skin was doing little to shield the wolf from the concussive blows from this stupid gorilla, in fact, during the gorilla's punching session, the wolf even yipped in pain. A dishonour to their pride to be sure. But they weren't at full strength either. The wolf got in a ready stance, Ready to give the woman what for, Ready to bite her neck and take them down. Yes, most certainly this was the method that would work right, They would tense up, their muscles, even while malnourished were bigger then the average wolf, denoting the presence of an apex canine. Muscles would pop and sinews would shift as the wolf would slowly pick itself up on its hind legs, its mass increasing to reach the depection of the beastman-werewolf, Their muscles would be inhumanly large even in a malnourished state. The form looked like some sort of fluffy hulk. Yes, this would be the form in which they bested this human. They felt strong, they-oh, a single step forward and they fell on their side with a pained whimper. The Gorilla had done more damage then they thought. Stupid gorilla, and as the world around the wolf faded to black they'd just let out a whimper of protest at being bested, And when the wolf fully metted into unconsciousness. The presence of the moon lost all effect upon the creature. Leaving a Malnourished, skinny, and pained woman. This denoted her as a second-generation werewolf. No wonder she was so easy to best. Of course now it would be a test of the shrine maidens morales, to let the woman die or to feed her and risk fighting a healthier werewolf. [hider=Werewolf trivia] Werewolfs came in two types. First Generation, which are the natural 'first' born, those the original people that make a pact with demons, or the 7th son of the 7th son, The latter case being the strongest of the two. These are the only ones that can pass on the curse of lycanthrope, and are seen as the strongest form of werewolves. They are extremely difficult to kill under the light of the moon. Secondary Generation: Those that have been affected by the curse of the first generation, be it through a bite or a blood transfusion with the individuals. As they are effectively werewolfs by secondary means. Their power is reduced, To compare the two in terms of feats, First Generation Werewolfs are listed as a 'mage-killing' species. While second generation werewolves are more akin to the average angered Unicorn. And a starved werewolf isn't a threat to any mage worth their title. [/hider]
