Chapter 28 - Form

Fenrir didn't know how many days had passed, as it became much easier to simply not pay attention to such things. All she knew was, for a long period of time, the only things she did were training her magic, eating monsters, and meditating to increase her control. By the time her training had come to an end, Fenrir felt like she had become much stronger than before and, for the first time, she had been able to complete her transformation.

Instead of having paws, Fenrir now had hands and feet and, where fur used to cover her forearms and calves, there was only fair, white, and unblemished skin in its place. Even her hair, and the large ears affixed to the top of it, had become sleeker with the floppy ears her Master loved being replaced by to rounded humanoid ears at the side of her head. One of the things that had taken her the longest, other than making her tail shrink away, was forming the ears at the side of her head. It felt very strange to hear things from a different location than normal, but Fenrir worked hard to adapt to the form until she was able to maintain it indefinitely.

However, though her physical appearance had changed drastically, those that knew Fenrir would have taken note of completely different aspects than just the change in her racial traits. Because of her Ageless body, Fenrir's appearance never changed much and, as a result of the record she had been given, her original appearance was petite, lithe, wild, and 'barren'. She looked somewhat pale and was thin enough that her ribs would show whenever she strained her body, almost as if she had no fat anywhere on her figure. Now, her skin looked more 'fair' than pale and, instead of seeming to be 'too thin', she had a softer appearance with a light layer of frost lingering around her body.

Because Fenrir had been training her [Mind of Still Water, Heart of Eternal Ice] for so long, the Yin Elemental energy she had been absorbing had slowly started to affect her appearance. She now had an almost stoic and icy expression, making the scarlet in her eyes stand out even more alongside her midnight blue hair. And, though her proportions hadn't changed at all, including in the chest region, Fenrir no longer looked gaunt, but now had a healthy and jade-like quality to her skin.

Fenrir had seen her appearance several times in the reflections of her ice mirror and, though she was happy about the change, it also pained her cold heart greatly. The only reason she had ever wanted to have a 'human' form in the past was so that she could be with her Master without accidentally tearing things apart with her claws. Now, even though she had a form she believed he would like, Fenrir simply didn't have the option to be with him anymore. Thus, even though the icy energy that had pervaded through her body was very comfortable, Fenrir felt very lonely and often craved the warmth of her Master. Unfortunately, no amount of longing could change the reality of her situation so the only thing Fenrir could do was mimic his voice with her eyes closed, saying kind words to herself while curling up into a ball, hoping to dream of her Master when the darkness claimed her...
