"What's your first order, master~"
"No using your mental affinity on me or anyone without my permission."
"Tch. Fine." Baal began muttering some incomprehensible things under her breath. Clearly she was hoping for something else.
"*yip*?" I heard Yuki call from outside.
"One second Yuki." I said as I went to open the door to prevent Yuki from scratching on it too much.
"*yip*" -> "what are you doing in here?"
Yuki caught a glimpse of Baal who went to stand behind me.
"*snarl**yip**yip*" -> "and who is that, I can sense that they are dangerous."
"That's Baal." I pointed my finger at her and she gave Yuki a wave and a big grin, "I summoned her."
"*yip*?!" -> "you what?!"
"I know you heard me." I replied.
Baal smirked at me and stood next to my side, looking down at me as she was 6'1, "I didn't know you could speak with animals."
"You don't know many things."
"*yip*" -> "yeah, you don't know Kiera."
"*yip**yip*" -> "that's why I'm better than you, you lusting demon."
"Are you sure you're better than me?" Baal licked her lips and narrowed her eyes a little, "your not wrong when you say lusting demon though." She let out a small chuckle.
"I'd rather you both don't argue and have a bad relationship please and thank you." I said as I left the empty room with both Baal and Yuki following me.
"*yap*!" -> "carry me!"
Yuki jumped up in hopes of me carrying her. Obviously I did.
"Do you enjoy carrying that divine beast?" Baal questioned.
"I don't hate nor love carrying Yuki. I just don't mind it."
I continued walking to my bedroom and sat down on the edge of the bed, Baal sat next to me and Yuki was on my lap.
"Kiera, how far is your mastery in the elements?" Baal asked.
I gave the question some thought before answering, "I've mastered the basic elements of Fire, Water, Earth and Air and for the other elements, I don't really use them. I've almost mastered lightning and I haven't used light or dark elements yet and same goes with multiple others like celestial, null, sub elements and other branches of elements. I do have some poison skills, I can also teleport small distances but not too far."
"Not bad for your age. That's, to this worlds standards, incredibly good. You're considered an absolute genius if you've gotten all of the elements and mastered some of the more basic ones. Do you have a transformation skill that allows you to switch into your dragon form?"
"Yes I do and I've gotten another transformation skill that I haven't looked into."
"You should probably look at it then."
'System. Give me the details of the skill [Transform]'
..
<*ping*>
[Transform]
You can transform your body into anything you desire but you must somewhat understand how to function in that body.
..
"I can transform into anything I want as long as I somewhat understand how to function while using that body."
"Hoh~ that's interesting," Baal smirked and leaned towards me, "Try turning into a wolf. Just a regular one." Baal said.
'[Transform: Wolf]' I thought as I imaged myself as a wolf.
My body began to shrink and produce a dim light that surrounded my body making others unable to see the process. My skeleton changed and my organs were moved, same with my veins and mana veins. My body morphed into that of a wolf.
The light disappeared and all that was left was a black furred wolf with deep purple eyes, in other words, myself.
"Can you change the colours?" Baal asked as she looked at me curiously. Like a specimen in a lab. I don't like that look..
I thought of changing my fur colour to a simple grey and the light came back as the colouring changed.
"So you can. Interesting. I've never seen a dragon with this ability and in the demon realm only three demons will be born with an ability to shape shift like yours but a much weaker version. Of course they can train that ability though so it can get better."
I switched my colours back to the black fur as I preferred staying with my 'own colours' than other colours.
"Do you feel odd in your new body at all?" Baal asked me.
"I'm assuming you can only speak in the language of the wolves in that form?" Yuki said but my ears didn't pick it up as yapping but as comprehensible words.
"I don't know. I can probably still speak any language in this form even if I'm now a wolf." I said which came out as a series of barking sounds. "And no, I don't feel odd at all. It feels like I've always been like this but didn't yet realise.."
"You look very cute in that form." Baal said as she edged nearer to me and snuck her hands to the sides of my chest and lifted me up.
"Put me down."
"No can do." Baal tapped my nose with her finger which made me sneeze.
"That was.. too cute." Baals head faced downwards before she quickly stood up.
"I've decided! I'm going to teach you all that I know!" She held me up as if to praise me and Yuki began clapping with her paws.
"Don't clap." I said which, once again, came out as me barking but both Yuki and Baal understood which caused Baal to laugh.
"I'm looking forward to our future, Kiera~"
"Don't say it like that. It doesn't sound right." I said as I squirmed in Baal's hands.
"Fine~ fine~ I'll put you down." Ball laughed as I hopped out of her hands and onto the soft duvet covers.
"Though I do feel slightly different. I've got this small urge at the back of my mind telling me to hunt and protect. I've always had the urge to protect those close to me but it's only grown now I'm in this form." I said as I sat down with my tail unconsciously swaying slowly from side to side.
'Ever since I could remember I've always had the urge to protect those I care about and I'm assuming being a dragon amplifies it since I'd subconsciously consider them as my 'treasure' and dragons will always protect their treasures.'
"It seems that while in different forms you pick up some of their habits. You really are interesting. I wonder if you like being stroked?" Baal spoke quietly and inched her hand nearer and nearer to my head.
"*snarl*" Yuki began baring her fangs at Baal, "don't."
"Hm~ now, why not? Little divine beast~" she squinted her eyes a little.
"Being stroked is only accepted by a person considered trust worthy and someone close to the one being stroked. Like Kiera and I, I trust Kiera and it feels natural to accept her patting me. I don't allow anyone else. So don't stroke Kiera unless she allows you." Yuki grumbled before sitting down in front of me.
"Kiera~" Baal looked at me as if she were begging.
"I'm not close with Baal but I trust her since she is completely submissive to me so I guess it's alright, right Yuki? Or does it not work like that?"
"If you're fine with it then it's alright, but! Let me do it first!"
Baal looked at Yuki and smirked in amusement towards her actions.
"I dot see why not but why do you both want to pat me anyway?" I asked.
Baal looked back at me and spoke, "Normally animals like being stroked as it calms them down and feels nice so I'd assume that since you gained some urges that wolves have then you might like it too."
"Go on then." I said and Yuki moved away from me and went to my side instead of in front of me.
She reached her paw up and placed it on my head. She began rubbing my head and the base of my ears.
"This is hard to do as a fox." She said.
"I don't really feel it much, I'd that because you're also and animal?" I said
Yuki thought for a moment and nodded,"I don't know, probably?"
"My turn~" Baal said as she shoved Yuki off to the side to pick me up and put me back down in her lap.
"Why'd you do that?" I asked as I turned my head to face Baal but felt a hand rest on top of my head and slowly caress it.
Her motions were slow and gentle with the right amount of pressure that made me slowly relax and lean into it.
"Hm~ Kiera, you like it, yes? Want me to keep going~"
"It- yeah. It feels nice." I closed my eyes and leant back a little as Baal continued massaging my head with her soft hands.
'I guess when I transform into a wolf I gain this as well.' I thought as my ears lowered down a little.
We sat there for a while before Baal broke the comfortable silence.
"Kiera do you think it's possible for you to make those influences not occur when you transform? I mean if you transformed into a monster to blend in or go on a recon mission and you get the urges to attack someone then that wouldn't be so good."
"I can try."
I focused in on my mind and looked into the urges that were kept at the back of my head. I began pushing those thoughts out of my mind, metaphorically, and soon they vanished as if I never had them to begin with.
The pleasant head rubs also felt less pleasant as those influences disappeared.
"Well it worked but now the head rubs don't feel so good anymore."
"So it works. How about we try transform you into other animals as well. This could be really useful for you. Also, turn the influences back on. I want to pat you some more since it feels nice."
"Whatever."
