Shifting Love

Shifting Love

Prologue

I was there in the dimly lit room getting dressed up; my black suit faded in the darkness of the room while golden ornaments decorated my chest; a tiger, a lion, and a jaguar emblazoned my chest in representation of the three main noble families of the kingdom; the rumble of the crowd contrasted with the silence of the corridors of the stadium as I slowly made my way out towards the entrance to the main hall, the rumble of the crowd was nothing compared to the rumble inside my chest, my hands were sweaty, here began my last test for succession, the decisive night of my life.

In the middle of the great hall, I shall make a show of my martial skills, my knowledge of the country, my diction and my patriotism to finally close the performance with my 'shift', the little cunts of my half siblings already finished their performances but little it will help them now that the great council is on my favor, I proved my worth in war, in investigations of the national institute and being a member of the most patriotic circles earned me the love of those old hags, in the other hand my father the king is a bone hard to bite but as hard as he might be he is at least fair... he gives a damn about all his children the same so at least I can guarantee his vote will be impartial, as long as I don't mess up the throne is mine; "bye bye little cunts", I said as I entered the platform of the hall as my sister Emilie made her way out of scene; once in stage I greeted the audience in the stands, my fake humble smile hid my excitemen "hiyah" I performed various martial moves "hup" "hiyah" I finished my performance with ease, now to seal my performance my first "shift"; I inhaled and exhaled soothing my mind, I scarved in the deepest parts of my sou, yes I can feel it, the wild nature of the animal within me, smoke sorrounded me as I was now in four paws, my newly acquired whiskers sensing movements of the air, my sharper vision and earing gave me amounts of information I only dreamed of sensing, I put one paw forward and braced for a majestic end, a roar that will mark my entrance into the history books as the 17th leader of the kingdom "Meow∼".....did I just meow?..... as the smoke disipated I noticed the stadium was bigger than i remembered.....oh no,,, is my shift form a simple cat?
