The Shapeshifters Novels & Stories

This city will be needing a new name I think. We walk for a while and I have no idea where we are. I guess a shapeshifting apartment building can be pretty much anywhere you want it to be. I'm about to ask how much further, worried that Silvia is actually aslpee on her feet, when we finally come to a stop, Tidiane turns and grins. Apparently shapeshifters are very good landlords. It's not an apartment building anymore. It's a house. A very large house with three stories on the edge of the boundary between the Barren and Loop City (or whatever the new names for these places will be!)

Each of the bonfires seemed to be sitting on top of metal plate, surrounded by mounds of sand that seemed to contain the flames and keep them from spreading out into the verdant fields that danced and swayed like water. Then there was the Shifters. They frolicked, they thrummed, and they engorged the area. Everywhere Brandon looked there were Shifters. And suddenly as Ezekiel and his brothers appeared the masses began to flood towards the Mansion. Faces and eyes turned their way. Mantilo appeared suddenly, his long black hair looking fresh braided and heavy brown robes, with cuffs dipped in golden thread, covered his large upper body and breezy brown pants ending in heavy boots accented his

He picked another flower, “is just turn.” Enough talk, Neeri growled, forcing the shift. She wanted to run, smell the fresh air. Lillah screeched, falling to her knees. Skin began to stretch. Bones began to snap. “Lillah, calm down, push the pain to one side and just step out of the way, let Neeri take your place.” Gaz had seen many a shift. Alphas’ were fast; they tore through their own skin in an instant. The majority of the pack experienced a shift that took a couple of seconds; clothes ripped, a few bones broke and then they were in their other form but Omega’s experienced a slow and torturous shift. It could take minutes.

Glowing where there was darkness, lighting the way when needed. Over time, their roles changed, mixed, and warped. The people changed as well. The animals they once admired integrated with their souls. Their souls, being tied to the moon, changed once a month when she was at her most robust. Some changed to felines, others canines, then there were reptiles and primates. No two people were the same. Families of four could have one of each shifting animal. The Sun God became enraged. The people began to solely worship the Moon Goddess, much to her dismay. No matter how many times she spoke with the shifters they didn’t heed her words.

Werewolves and weretigers battled against werebears. Finally, all the fighting has stopped. For the past hundred years, witches ruled over shapeshifters. They hated it. Together, the shapeshifters warred against the witches. They won, and now the witches were the minority, and the shapeshifters returned to the majority. But then, the werebears so full of greed, decided they wanted to control all the shapeshifters. Too bad for them. After finally tasting the sweetness of freedom, he wasn’t having it. I united my pack with others and led us to victory, gaining the nickname, Conqueror.

Right now, we needed to clear Hunter's name. “I have never heard of a shapeshifter before, only in the books I read. The prophecies don't say anything about them.” “That's because they are extinct,” Dean answered. “Or supposed to be.” “What do you mean?” “Shapeshifters are like werewolves. The only difference between us and them is that we can only change into our werewolf forms and our human form, but shapeshifters can transform into anyone they choose, as well as other animals.”

"Dam* it! Focus! Those with fire combine with fire, and water with water. Shapeshifters, go and restrain his movements!" "Yes, alpha heir!" The group reorganized themselves, and like locusts that scented fresh blood, they charged at Zain, who was controlling his flame in the center of the stage. "Yahh!" "Get off the stage!" The mob of shapeshifters advanced with imposing momentum, the force of their charge kicking up dust and wind. But before they could reach their target, the ground beneath their feet loosened, and they fell on their face. Bang! "Haha!"

Two such evolutions began to override the others, and this was the beginning of our demise, though we knew it not at the time. While always in touch with our bestial natures, some chose to embrace it. Shapeshifters, who had previously had the talent to shift into all animal forms, began to shift into individual animals. They chose specific creatures exclusively: the canines, the felines, and other creatures. This faction embraced the environment and nature, taking on the characteristics of their host animals in themselves and living with their dual nature. These beings stayed close to their brethren though and were respected in kind.

I wonder if this one has a story to tell. After a few days, the shapeshifter has recovered. It sits up, and I bring it some food and water. It eats and drinks, and then it looks at me, its eyes full of gratitude. It speaks, its voice deep and raspy. "Thank you for saving my life," it says. I nod, and I ask it if it would like to tell me its story. The shapeshifter hesitates, but then it begins to speak. "My name is Lycan, and I am an outcast among my kind. "Lycan tells me about the world of shapeshifters, a world of beauty and danger. They are creatures of the night, able to shift between human and animal form. They live in the shadows, feared and misunderstood by humans. Lycan tells me of t

As soon as they saw that the stores were closing, Candy used her locator gadget once more, and this time it was pointing out of town. “He or she must have left for the day, so let’s follow and see where they lead us,” said Candy. “Incidentally Candy, why is a shape-shifter considered a monster?” “For a shape-shifter to take on another form, they have to kill the original and absorb them into their being. So, every time they use a different person or animal, that person or animal is no more,” replied Candy. “Wow, to think I’ve been surrounded by this type of thing all of my life and had no idea,” said Dale.
