The Beast Within

“You- after all this-“

She settled on Nyx, her favorite plaything turned thorn in her side, the puny mortal now posing as a newborn god to spite her.

Celestial light shimmered across her blue tinted body as she prepared her weapon- the weapon of her brother- plucked from his hands as these mortals laid waste to everything the titans had ever built.

“Lutheria!”

Even her voice made the Titans blood boil.

Killing her would not suffice this time as it had once before, her new wretched divinity granting her protection from that.

So then, something to strip her looks, her vaunted beauty- perhaps she should spend her life hunted like the lowly animal she was. Lutheria cackled- eyes to the heavens as if the most hilarious joke had been told- the titans body shaking the ground around her. Pointing a clawed golden finger the Lady of beasts began weaving an enchantment. Their tiny foolish friend’s attempts to intervene wasted as she swept them from their feet- marching forward.

The curse bubbled in her throat- Lutheria laughing, spitting the words towards the Nymph.

Nyx caught her gaze and closed her eyes- she had to shake it off- the phrases lingering in her ears- a whisper, then a shout then a shriek.

“No!”

But the golden glow in her eyes giving way to a feral creatures slits told Lutheria resisting it had failed.

Nyx screamed and scratched at her head ears slipping away from her scalp and growing out into triangular shapes, blisters breaking into keratin sparkling horns.

“Oh god- I- Help”

Nyx fell to all fours as her entire body vibrated in the most delicious agony, the noise of the titans gleeful laughs vibrating even louder in her new ears.

Her hair grew wild, shimmering colors becoming furry strands, mane spreading down her neck.

Something writhed within her lower back- spine segmenting into multiple pieces and began to push taut on the cleft of her buttocks. Claws swelled over her fingertips, with her least deformed hand, she could grasp onto the nub which in mere moments burst through her skin and snaked into a furred luminous tail. When met with the wetness of blood, the coppery tang filling the air her stomach growled, and Nyx did all that she could to refrain herself from licking the blood away when she withdrew her arm to support herself.

Her flesh swelled- ballooning with fat and muscle. Beneath the surface, pain blooming through every vein as her bones ground and shifted, breaking and re-knitting together instantly. As her thighs grew, her heels elongated- pushing into the mold of a hind leg, her toes stretching, merging into four taloned claws fit for a beast. Skin stretched to sickly translucency over her insides, glimpses of the astral seas darkness sliding around within.

“Your form to match your blackened heart, little beast.”

Nyx went to yell something at Lutheria in her inability to leave the last word unsaid- and upon opening her mouth- her nose and jaw burst forwards, into a cruel teethed snout issuing from a beastial maw, a mask entombing her face within. Eyes stained into glowing orbs, then more opening up above her original ones. A visceral howl escaping her mutated face as the creature known as Nyx slumped to the ground- now a large unconscious corrupted wolven beast in her place.

Mayhaps a brand new pet could be added to Lutherias menagerie once she had made short work of these silly children.
