Crimson red eyes, that's the last thing Rian saw before he blacked out. He was out hunting for elk before he was attacked by a huge black beast, twice the size of an average man. The thing moved as fast as the wind before approaching Rian, as his legs trembled with fear the beast sniffed the air while slowly approaching him it grinned before it spoke "You will do, you will be my vessel" its mouth did not move instead it seemed like the words were spoked directly into Rian mind. As the words were spoken the beast moved in and bit Rian on the shoulder before everything turned black. He was sure he was dead... he was sure that the beast had killed him and taken his corpse to its den to be consumed. Even though he was sure he was dead he wouldn't have it he wanted to live, he wanted to come back and kill the beast that killed him, he was furious...then a voice spoke to him
" You are angry, yes? Want to seek revenge? Kill the beast, yes, hunt it down, yes?... But what if you are the beast?... Would you still want to kill it?.... Could you kill it? " the voice was cold and sickening it spoke in an evil tone, but what was truly terrifying to Rian was what it had spoken" why would I attack myself? " he thought to himself. It wasn't until the darkness dispersed and he saw what he has become, there he stood 10ft tall covered head to toe in pitch black fur, then he smelt something unusual, smelt like iron... No blood! He could practically see the colour red just by smell itself. Rian couldn't believe what had happened to him just a few hours ago he was a young lad with raven black hair and silver eyes, now he's a huge beast with pitch-black fur and, what he presumed to be, crimson red eyes. Although all these thoughts were running through his head it didn't take long before Rian to decide to investigate where the smell of blood was coming from, he followed the scent like a bloodhound, running through the dense woodlands at incredible speeds. Branches snapped as he ran through the woods as he followed the potent scent. It took him less than 5 minutes to cross a section of woodland that usually would have taken him 5 hours, the speed he moved at suprised him it was incredible he felt like he was as fast as the wind.
When the scent of blood was its strongest Rian reached a clearing in the woods where the corpses of five armoured men lay, the faces were frozen with fear, huge holes carved into there bodies, and a carriage on fire. The fire made Rian notice something there was no sun anymore only the moon, his eyesight appeared to be enhanced, he could see clearly in the darkness. It was then that he picks up the scent of something strange... sweat, blood... he could also hear something too, someone was out there terrified. Rian honed in on the location of the person, using his skills as a hunter as well as his new abilities he soon found a small girl wearing a bloodied dress terrified of what was staring at her. Although she was looking at the same direction as Rian was it was not him she was looking at instead it was a huge boar the size of an adult man, its horns the size of a man arm and as thick as a branch of an oak tree soaked in blood. It appeared to be what attacked the carriage and killed those men and soon the girl. Rian began to move in closer slowly and carefully trying to not spook the beast before him, it didn't take long before Rian was within pouncing distance and before the boar knew what had happened Rian had already attacked. The boars hide was thick and tough but Rian's claws dug into it with ease, as Rian's new body was twice the size of the boar it tumbled onto the ground where Rian instinctively revealed his fangs and plunged them into the boars neck and ripping its throat out. Rian then turned to look at the girl who's frightened eyes lost any hope of surviving. Rian moved in closer and closer, his bloodied lips and claws dripping the girl then screamed before passing out. "kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill" these voices screamed throughout Rian mind before he returned with a tremendous primal howl alerting all creatures in the woods, this act silenced the voices " it seemed like that worked" he thought to himself not knowing what he had actually done before turning the girl in wonder, she looked young, 15 maybe 16, fiery red hair and deep blue eyes, the way she was dressed it looked like she was quite wealthy, maybe the daughter of a noble. "what were they doing put here and at this time too? Actually forget that what the hell happened to me, I was out hunting elk for the butcher then I was attacked but still what they hell happened how did this happen to me?" if anyone could hear him he sounded panicked and his northern accent was as thick as ever." you are my vessel, I am apart of you now. You are now apart of a world of monsters and evil, that beast we killed was once a regular creature but was corrupted by the evil that comes about every new century, you are like that boar but much more powerful, much more ferocious and ultimately much more terrifying, every century I chose a member of your families bloodline to become a beast at the rise of the blood moon". Before the voice could finish incredible pain spread throughout Rian's body causing him to blackout.
