Stretching northward along the coastline of the Suvan Sea, the Cobalt Mountains are the home of the Bronze Wood, numerous ruins, and creatures both strange and fantastical.
4th of Summer, 513AV Sei took off his backpack, and walked a few meters away from the city gates, stepping into a cluster of trees. He removed his clothing, and placed them in his backpack, and pushing it into a bush. He bent down on his knees, and placed his arms on the ground, and shifted to stand on all fours. He started to feel the itchy, as thick, white and grey striped fur sprouted all over his body. His legs felt like lead, as the shrunk into place, craking and giving him the feeling his legs were swelling, as the bones inside his legs reforned, and got thicker. His feet thickened, and the shrunk into massive paws with hooked claws. His back narrowed, and the crack of his restructuring bones filled his ears, as his neck to hip ratio decreased. His arms turned thick, and furfilled, as his the became animalistic. His hair became thick, and they shrunk into place, and his face became animalistic.
Sei waited as the grey in his new fur turned to a solid black, and he shook from his head to his tail. He could feel the pain as his skull rearranged, as his ears sprouted. He shook once again when his transformation was complete, and rubbed his fur against a tree near the bush his backpack was in. He had to make sure he would be able to find this location to retrieve his pack, so he rubbed his scent on it. Sei then sprang out of the cluster and jogged toward the center of the woods. As he passed by, he sniffed the air, just to be sure he had scented the tree enough, and when he deemed it okay, continued on his path. He stayed silent, not wanting to alert nearby prey of his presence. He stalked his way away from the gates, leaving the bustling chatter behind. When he was farther away, he slowed to a trot, taking in the scenery. The leaves of bronze and golden brown-to which it was named-gave the Bronze Woods it's natural beauty, and to top it off, there were plants with beautiful aromas. He lost his concentration for a moment, and let down his guard to enjoy the scenery with all his being.
Sei liked the bronze woods, and was often here even when he wasn't hunting. Although he was enjoying the moment, he knew he needed to get to work. He focused his mind, and quickly raised his guard. He alerted his senses, and started toward the heart of the woods once more. He headed north from the gates, rubbing his fur agaist the bark of trees every few miles. He continued to sniff the air until he was satisfied with the scent, and quickly moved on. When he could no longer sniff on scented tree, he marked the next one. In a way, he thought he was tracking. After all, he was using a scent to find something, so he was getting used to his own scent. He continued on his path until he started to feel uneasy. Though a hunter he may be, he knew what his limitations were, and wasn't going to cross them. He changed his direction, heading west,-if not mistaken-and caught sight of a faraway figure. He walked toward it, and as it came into view, he was set to autopilot, as his his senses were alerted to prey. Todays catch is served, he thought.
Sei stalked closer, approaching the figure cautiously and silently, as he didn't want it to run off. If he was right, the hulking figure was only a massive boar, and he lowered his body into the grass, etching closer ever so slowly, keeping an eye on it's movements. He sized up the boar quickly, taking an estimate, and deciding on his catch. Judging by the tusks, it's male, and it weighs at least two hundred to two hundred fifty pounds. He thought feverishly. It would be a great cut at the butcher, and would definitely bring home a few mizas. He was a few yards away from the boar now, and he began to scale the tree he was hiding near. He dug his claws into the tree trunk, tugging his weight up the tree one paw at a time. He was high enough now, and was looking for a suitable branch that would hold his weight. When he found an appropriate branch, he clawed at it, found his grip, and struggled with his footing. When he was atop the tree, he looked around to see the boar trot off.
Sei looked at the branches near him. He found a suitable branch and readied himself to jump on to it. He jumped from his current perch to the next branch, steadied himself, and repeated the process until he was leaning over the boar. He watched the boar graze intently, and just for laughs, let out a deep, gutteral growl. The boar flinched and took off frantically. He chuckled to himself and searched for the boar. He had still been sniffing the air, and had memorized the boars scent, so finding it would be a breeze. He then leaped from the brach, and gracefully onto the ground. This is only the beginning of the game, he thought, and he sprinted after the boar.

Sei tore his way through the trees. His surroundings blurred, and his heart raced with excitement. He loved the feel of the wind combing through his thick fur, and the feel of the cool soil, as his paws smashed it flat, and the thud his paws made when hitting the compact soil. The flimsy grass crumbled under his mighty paws, as he closed the distance between him and the boar. He slowed to a walk, sniffed at the ground, and picked up the boars scent to the north of his current location. He changed his course according to the boars scent trail, and blurred past the trees. He let himself be distracted by the wind through his fur, and took a longer route toward the boar. He slowed to a walk when a figure came into view, and stalked closer to find the boar frantically searching for danger. He etched closer, staying low by crouching in the dirt, and hid nearby. After the boar calmed down, it began to graze, and he watched intently, hatching another scheme to frighten the boar. He had let the boar run for a few bells now, and by now it was probably exhausted.
Sei closed the distance until he was almost behind the boar, and once again let of a low, guttural growl, which made the boar take of frantically once more, only it was slower that before. He let the boar get out of view before sniffing the air, and jogging after the boar. He strolled leisurely after the boar, taking his sweet time. He didn't want to waste his own energy by running after the boar. Instead, he would exhaust the boar, and attack it when it was to tired to move. In doing this, he had to be smart, because if he wasn't careful, he would waste his stamina as well. He had thought it through, and solved all the loopholes in his plan. He came to stop as the boar came into view once more. The boar was drinking out of a puddle, and had lowered it's guard to regain it's energy. Unfortunately, this was his chance to catch him. He ran full speed and let a full growl escape his lips. Game over, He thought.
Sei jumped at the Boar, slashing at it's neck with his massive claws, but before he could make the kill, the boar whipped it's head around, yelping in surprise and pain, as Sei's claws dug into it's face, slashing through the eye. The boar yelp, as the blood oozed from it's face. It bucked wildly, managing to kick Sei's side, and knock him away. He groaned and stood quickly, just as the boar began to charge him with it's tusks. Quickly jumping to his right, he avoided the boar, who turned to him again."Shyke."He swore. The boar was three times his size, and if it hit him with thoses tusks, he knew it was certain death. He growled ferociously, baring his teeth, and slashing at the air with his massive claws.
The boar flinched, and took a few steps back. That's right. Keep thinking I'm the predator here, He thought, as he charged the boar, slashing it's front right leg before it could react, and moving away from it's massive tusks, just as it swung them at him. He moved to the boars right side, jumped on it, and gripped it's skin with his claws. Sei then sank his sharp claws into the boars' thick skin. He clung to the boar, even as it yelped and bucked, in an attempt to throw him off. He was thrown off, and his left side was thrown agaist a tree. He feel to the ground, and his vision blurred for a few seconds, but he stood to slash at the boar, who, judging by the yelp, was hit. By know, the boar was covered in blood, both old and new. The boar was panting heavily, but couldn't run. The only thing it could do was defend itself, in the hopes to find a miracle.
Sei leaped for the boar, clinging to it with his claws, and sunk his teeth into it's neck. He swirled his teeth around, in the hopes of severing the jugular. Even though he hadn't hit the jugular, He still had the same result when he pierced the windpipe. The boar went limp and collapsed. He then assessed the multiple wounds that would decrease it's value. Oh well. It's still a decent size, he thought. He began to drag the boar toward the scent trails he had left behind. He dragged the boar, struggling to handle it's massive weight. He was headed for the city gates. He was on his way back now, and his left side hurt from being flung into a tree. He walked back, and he was still miles away from the city gates.
Mr. Tendo, I think you need to familiarize yourself with the transformation process of the Kelvic a bit more implicitly. There is no cracking, restructuring of bones etc. etc. like you would see in the case of a Morphing Wizard. Please reference the Kelvic racial page and browse it a bit more thoroughly.
