Not many understand what it feels like when natural instinct overtakes them. Technically, Kasen hadn't either. She had had fleeting moments where her connection with Same made her feel like her control was slipping bit by bit, but nothing like this. Nothing like the raw power that coursed through her, transformed her. The shark humanoid bolted across the hot sands, forging her way in fast strides to get to the clear waters. Same was one with her, everything felt calm and strong. Revitalized. She almost felt like an entirely new person, a new self. The sound of water in the distance assaulted her ears, the smell of the ocean hitting her well before she could even see it. Home.<i></i>
With heightened senses, Kasen managed to steer herself away from populated areas. She couldn't risk being seen. Something in her told her that would be a grave danger to herself. She instead followed the smell of brine. Her skin didn't like the dry air and the hot sand beneath her feet, but she forced herself forward. Wind whipped against her as she felt herself now running against the sand on all fours like a beast of the wild. Her finned tail whipped back and forth behind her. Kasen's new form was beautiful. A light grey skin tone, adorned with various fins around her body all with blackened tips. Her eyes were pitch black as night, gills flapped from her neck and under her eyes, her sharp teeth poking through her massive jaws.
As the beach finally came into her vision, the ocean foam lapping at the sands, Kasen thrust herself into the cool waters. The change in environment welcomed her, propelling her throw the water like a knife to butter. Her gills opened and she could breath fresh oxygen within the ocean. Kasen found herself staring into the tropical waters around her. Fish swam by in schools, turtles lulled through the waves, even some of the local shark populace came and grazed her in welcome back, some even nibbling her fins in acknowledgement of Same's presence. Again that word resonated from within her core. Home.<i></i> Kasen knew this was Same. It was hard to determine one from the other now. Kasen swam through the waters feeling freer than she ever had. A scent came into her nose, causing her to quickly spin in place. Food.<i></i> Kasen bolted through the waters using all of her limbs and fins combined. She was like a torpedo, thrusting herself from on area to the next.
What happened next would not be very pretty. What Kasen smelled was a weakened seal. The part of Kasen's mind that belonged to her rebelled. She knew what her instincts wanted. It wanted to eat, to hunt. She did not want to attack the creature. She couldn't. It was her duty to heal and bring peace, to make up for the harm that her father had put into the world. Kasen tried in vain to tug against the mental hold that Same being unleashed once more had caused. Same....no...please However, she was unable to gain control and still continued to move further and further toward the injured seal. Must. EAT.<i></i> Kasen dove deep down into the water, stealthing herself in the darkness below. As she found herself right below the seal, she swam very quickly towards it, her jaws opening wide, grabbing onto it and sinking her teeth into it. She breached the water, hands clasping tightly to the seals body. She had forced herself out of the ocean that when she landed she was on the edge of where the waters met the shoreline. The seal gave a final shriek before dying, it's body now dangling limp from Kasen's jaws as blood started to drip down from the corners of her mouth, down her clothing. The shark woman bit into seal, tearing flesh from its body and scarfing down the heavenly meal. Internally, once again Kasen felt sick and guilt hit her immediately but the Hunger<i></i> She knew this was satisfying. She needed this. Same needed this. She took a seat down on the beach, continuing to eat as the waters lapped around her. She would be stronger, she would rebuild her kingdom, and this was only the beginning. Suddenly a noise caught her attention, the shark like human looked up, making a small snarling noise, blood dripping off her teeth as they became exposed. Her senses tried to pick up on the cause of the noise. Someone was here.
