Triple Threat

The Beast: Awakening.

The first Thing I experience, is hunger, i am not Aware of the world and the things around me, not enough to think of anything else, Behind me is the Shell from which i emerged. So Hungry... my senses fight to muscle into my mind, my nose telling me that there is Food.

I crawl Forwards, making a mental note to myself that i will Need a better way to move. the smell is getting stronger, there is a cetain edge to it... blood, but not its own, it is a predator and it apparently smelled me too.

My eyes finally open as i catch sight of the world around me. and there it is, i can tell it is what i´m looking for by the smell, gray in appearance and with sharp fangs, i´d later learn that my first meal was to be a wolf.

I rear up a bit to be able to fight with my pincers, Long and sharp they would be able to fight it. in Terms of size we were roughly equal, but the wolf had better mobility.

The wolf is circling me, having never encountered anything like me it is curious and cautious.

Its own hunger apparently beating curiosity it leaps at me, unfortunately my instincts kicked in and i fall flat before it can topple me over and quickly jab my pincers into the belly of the wolf, causing it to cry out and fall.

the wiry predator lays on its side blood flowing from the deep wounds, but i had no concept of pity at this Point, i only knew i had Food.
i jabbed my pincers into it again, ripping out what i needed and quickly consumed it, the wolf kept yelping and whimpering until finally i destroyed a vital organ, i think it was the heart.

Soon after there were not even bones left, my belly bulged out from the Food and i laid there in rest, as the changes began, my stomach rumbled as it receded again, processing the meal, but i changed too, somethings was breaking through the Shell of my back, my tail thinned out and for began covering me where my Shell wasn´t, limbs broke through at my shoulders, my neck lengthening and becoming more movable, while my tusks inched apart a bit to allow a muzzle filled with fangs to form, at my hips another pair of legs emerged, Lifting my Body off the ground, nerves in my brain and spine rearranging to allow me to use my new Body... i also could think better, the cunning of the wolf added to my own rudimentary mind, making me a proper predator... no a superior predator, already my Shell and pincers were better than the wolf, but my new limbs needed more substance.

I had grown, and now i was hungry again, i had become able to realize that more species devoured meant more abilities to hunt, to get more Food.

It was time to hunt.
