Shifter

During the night of the full moon, Diana was trying to sneak out of the her family's mansion in order to go and practice her shifting in a nearby forest. While hiding in the shadows, she quickly transforms into a small black house cat in order to elude the guards. As she crouches low to the ground, crawling towards the front gate, a guard spots her in his torch light causing her to freeze instantly. "Oh it's just a cat." he mumbles before continuing his patrol. Diana let's out a small sigh of relief as she continues on her way. After squeezing through the bars she immediately races off to her destination.

Once Diana was amongst the shadows once again, she reverts back to her human form and begins to ponder on which new form she would try to practice with. During that time however a man hidden among the tree tops was watching and waiting for his chance to strike. His name was Malakai, the fabled bounty hunter hired by the Makers to kill the shifter years ago. Unfortunately this assignment did not sit well with him, fore he was a man of honor and loathed to kill any woman and or child. But alas if he did not then his soul would be trapped forever in the void as punishment for his failure.

As Diana listened for any sound of danger, she had finally decided to try and shift into a Keirin, one of the many mythical creatures that were said to have lived long ago. just as she was about to begin the transformation, she suddenly felt a small prick on the back of her neck. Right when she was about to see what it was she quickly fell to the ground....dead. Malakai jumped from his hiding place; walked over to the corpse; and pulled out the dart from her neck, while inspecting the body for any sign of life. Once all was done he quickly turned on his heel and left leaving the body for wild animals to feast on.

"So my little shifter has met her end. Tsk, tsk." said a strange voice. When Diana finally opened her 'eyes' she saw a hooded figure standing over her. "Hmm...your soul still looks to be intact I see. Very well, I shall begin my preparations to return you to the mortal realm." he said as he walked over to his desk on the far wall. Diana tried to sit up but found that she could not. Her body refused to respond to her at all. "Don't bother trying to move, because for starters you don't even have a body to move. Oh, but you can speak telepathically. So if you have any questions ask them now." "Then who are you?" she asked. "Cronus I'm a Rouge Maker." he replied as he searched around the room pulling random bottles and scrolls down onto his desk. "What are you doing?" she questioned while watching intently. "Hmm..? Ah, well I am making you a new body of course, but you'll be a male though. Can't have that bounty hunter killing you again. Now can we?" he answered as he prepared the incantation. "Male!?" Diana exclaimed in surprise. "Sorry but that's how the magic works. But don't worry you'll parents will still be able to recognize you." he said before chanting the spell.

Diana was soon enveloped in a bright light an after what seemed hours later it receded revealing a beautiful yet handsome man, with jet black hair,sapphire blue eyes, and a wonderfully sculpted chest. "Beautiful, simply beautiful. I must say this is my greatest creation yet. Now...for a name..hmmmm..Ah ha! Rayvyn!"exclaimed Cronus. "You're twisted you know that." said the new shifter in a honey baritone voice. Rayvyn quickly covered his mouth in surprise. "And a matching voice to boot. Now I shall be going with you, in disguise to make sure my perfect creation does not become damaged." He stated just before chanting another spell. Once again a bright light enveloped the room and once it was gone there in Cronus's place stood a small furry squirrel. "Alright now to...is that my voice..oh well..see you later in the mortal realm." said a now squeaky Cronus. Before Rayvyn had a chance to stop him a blue orb shot towards him sending him back inside the forest.
