" Do not feast upon these humans my child for I must replenish my numbers" I began to contort my body making my limbs hide themselves behind me making me look somewhat human my face looked slightly squashed with a much wider smile and longer lower part of my face the eyes were wider open then normal and black as the void. I still looked emancipated, but I could at least pass off as human. I approached the camping site that had a group of 5 there I yelled in a somewhat normal but panicky voice "Hey I need your help my brother he was caught under a falling tree. Quick please." I begin to whisper where they can hear it "I'm sorry brother I'm really sorry. Its my fault isn't it"
I begin to run deeper into the forest so they can't get away with their vehicles and also because I don't know what abilities they have. I fake scream out in pain as my body retakes its original form and I look at all the people who were slightly following me and one of them already has a fireball out in the air I simply smile asking "Is the one who owned this forest still alive or is this a new era I have woken up to." The trees begin to sway their roots slowly wrapping around their feet as they stare stunned at me. A slightly skinny male trembling and shaking says "What happened to that dude who was here did you consume him?"
"What human you mean my false form you humans should know that you have hunted my kind for Eons even past the era of Pangea the world of Survival where I had ruled even higher than the vampires in their decrepit stone castles the lizard Folk who lurked in the swamps with their dragon protectors. The elementals that would never die we had conquered them all then we all went to sleep I am asking how long it has been since we slept?"
He responded still fearful " We have never heard of your kind you don't like anything but the myth of wendigos."
"MYTH! MYTH! You dare call my brethren a MYTH we were rulers of this forested world where nature was, we ruled we were even stronger than the elves who were its guardians we soul bound our forests unlike them just taking care of all life. Sorry my temper has frayed over the years due to my starvation I have lost all my brethren when I woke up, I found only dust in their place with my skin already beginning to decay. since you seem smart, I give you the gift of choice" I stand up revealing my full height towering over them my hands from behind my back revealing a thin membrane between them spread in glory the light passing through them stained red. "Join my kind or be a servant believer to my glory."
"no I can't be the servant of a monster nor wi..." I interrupt him appearing next to him at the same time the roots seizing all of them I drop my blood in his mouth saying, "So you have chosen to join my kind." One of them disappears completely space warping around them and far outside of the forest sadly. The other three are held quite well except the fire wielder who manages to burn away the vines but seeing their friend start contorting and screaming in pain they go to them to help them holding them tightly whispering " You shall be okay right Nuilk please be okay"
I then looked at the two and he looked completely normal but with black eyes completely black no irises or anything within his eyes and he said to her "I'm fine and so shall you be as long as the master blesses you or you join me." He sharpened his claws ready to give his life blood to make her a wendigo when I told him "Stop I shall bless her no need to risk your life Nuilk, you are a unique I would never harm those you care for intentionally because you need no forest to be alive you could wander this world." I smiled realizing the wendigo species are much more unique than I had thought after hearing the system explain everything about mutated and unique wendigos and how most of them need no forest to survive unlike me unfornately I can't take this talent.
I look at the other two after beginning her transformation and say, "Submit or Serve as human vessels for my power I could grant you protection from the others who shall surely awaken soon, or do you doubt me?"
The male in classic camping clothes nods too frightened to speak but the other one says "I see the true you you poor beast confused and frightened in this era where everyone is more powerful than you you have to hide even from humans how sad." I smile at her it grows wider each second I can feel her energy probing my mind but suddenly she starts to look more and mor afraid as I stare at her coming closer, I then say "I like your bravery and ability to twist the mind, but you should Know I am a spiritual creature." her face drops even further. I pull a drop of essence from my brain to enhance her mind-altering abilities so she can be useful.
A mark appears on the man so I am not worried about him and tell him "Continue to stay here for a week I shall not let you starve or lack like my other servants." I Then looked at my gains.
