Welcome to Gaia! ::

With quick vigor in his movements, Tobias paced around his small, but cozy home, gathering things he knew would be needed for tonight.It was so close that he could nearly feel his canines aching to extend into the bone-crushing shape of a wolf's.Not only that, but he was on edge, a simple side effect that occured everytime he was near 'that' time, the time in which he would shift from the form of a man, to one of an uncontrollable lycan, the result of a werwolf/human hybrid.He thought the transformation both disgusting and inconvinient, but at least he hadn't had any slip ups in this tiny village he was living in now, otherwise he'd be on the run once again, in search of yet a new home.But there was no need to think about all of that, not since he'd found a way to keep himself from being discovered as a monster and chased away.He went out 'camping' on the night which the moon was full and secluded himself on a lone island in the middle of a lake that lay in the belly of a cold valley not too far from the village.There was a small pain to the trip though, but it wasn't anything too bad, merely a pest problem.Tobias had a follower, or more like an admirer, his name was Alexander and he was only a boy around the age of 17 or so and it seemed he'd taken a liking to to half-bred male.It didn't bother Tobias, on the contrary, he quite enjoyed recieving someone's feelings, but he tried to never let it get to his head, after all, he was a monster.

With a sigh, Tobias finally threw his bags on his shoulders, looking around to double check his packing.He had to make certain he'd prepared everything perfectly so there was no chance of him escaping his miniature prison to attack the villagers.Once completely sure of his packing, Tobias, marched to the kitchen and began to chow down on a piece of bread with cheese draped over it, scarfing it down before walking out his front door.He had to leave before Alexander caught up to him and attempted to beg his way into tagging along for the 'camping' trip.If the boy could handle the truth, Tobias wouldn't really mind bringing him, but there was no way a boy would follow the person he'd once admired if he found out he was secretly a lycan.As soon as the wind began to blow his way, Tobias could smell the scents of everything upwind of him, his senses heightening in anticipation of the madness to come that night.He trodded down the slightly worn mountain trail, his pace a bit fast as he feared he wouldn't make it in time before his transformation.He sighed, calming a bit once he was far enough from the village that even if he had transformed, he would most likely bypass the village in his rage.He couldn't but to be so cautious, he'd destroyed an entire village when he'd lived in Russia and was quite scarred by the incident, making him insecure at this time.Soon enough, Tobias reached the lake were his small island sat in the middle of and smiled at its calm, serene surface, cooling off a bit from the beautiful scenery and sound of the wind rustling the trees.

[Sorry for the lateness of my reply.^^"This week is finals and tomorrow I have my last ones, so I've just been busy studying for them.]

Tobias took in the beauty of the nature around him before feeling his gut twist in a painful way, making him wince quietly to himself.He needed to hurry, at least to get to the island before the sun left the sky and the moon took it's place.He shifted his bag on his shoulder and quickly walked down to the dock, tossing his things inside it before climbing in himself and begining to row with the single oar that had once sat in its basin.Tobias' mind could only flow back to the little Russian village he'd destroyed so easily as he began to panic.The sun was sinking quickly and as much as he paddled, it didn't seem like he was moving any faster, it almost seemed as if time had stopped for only him.Though, eventually, he reached the shore of the island and threw his bag into the grass, then threw the oar into the boat and pushed it with all his might so it floated away from the island, far enought that his wolf self wouldn't be able to reach it.Tobias sighed, content with his success so far, now there was only one thing left to do for him.The male walked at a leisurely pace towards the center of the thickly foliaged island before dropping his bag on the ground and taking a deep breath.He pulled a chain from his bag along with two locks to which there was only one key to open.He continued to wrap one around a thick tree then lock it before making a loop with the other and putting it around his neck.

Everything was ready now, or at least as ready as it could be, the only thing now was to wait the few momments tthat were left until the fat, round moon rose into the sky.It was during this time that Tobias prayed, hoping that no poor soul would come to this island while he was here, not until the beast within him had subsided from the sun's sweet rays.Just as the moon's illuminecent light glimmered through the trees, Tobias fell to the ground, curling himself in a ball as his transformation began.His pained sounds soon turned to vicious growls and snarls, his once smooth flesh spouting thick hair from every pore, his spine extending to a long tail, his ears growing to a wolf's length, and his teeth changing their shape to instruments of bone crushing power.Tobias opened his eyes, their once greens hues now amber and full of unfathomable rage that had no cause at all.It was then that this new, wolfish form lifted its large snout and let out a blood-curdling howl that could be heard for what seemed like everywhere.Tobias struggled to try and escape the chain that held him, snarling and growling for all his worth as his breath fogged from the chill of the night.He wanted to be free, he wanted to hunt, he wanted to kill everything that had life around him.He gave another howl, thought this one not as long or loud as the one preceding it.He was mad with bloodlust as he continued working his entire being on escaping from his chain, though couldn't seem to manage the task with his strength alone, he needed something to drive him, he needed prey.

His snarls becoming more frustrated and beast-like by the momment, Tobias froze, a sweet scent blowing his direction and causing him to turn his wild eyes to an illuminated figure.It was a small deer, not much larger than the fat fawns that were usually to the village for celebration feasts, but the scent of its sweet, tender meat and the consistant thump of his frightened heart were enough to set his mind on one thing, kill and feed.The poor creature was frozen in fear, standing as still as a statue before flinching into an almost sitting position as Tobias lunged at him, growling and roaring as slober dripped from his rubbery lips.The chain gave sounds of giving away to the wolf's new found focus as his body fought vigorously against them, the deer trembling now as it struggled to force itself to inch away from the terrifying sight before him.As the chain cracked threateningly, the buck finally managed to find his barings and took off, stumbling off before he took on a quick, swift pace.It was then that Tobias gave his last tug on his restraints and broke free, flying off after his new prey, his claws throwing up clumps of dirt and foliage with his mind concentrated on the small buck.It didn't take long for the beast to catch up with the buck, only trailing a few feet behind with unimaginable speed that didn't seem possible.Tobias lept in the air, his claws aimed for the deers revealed hide and gave what seemed to be a crooked, wolfy grin as his nails dug deep inside the flesh of the small herbavore.With ease he drug it to the ground before chomping down on the bucks jugular, ripping out what he had his teeth on and devouring it like a starving animal.Another long howl spilled from his elongated snout, thought this time it was one of victory instead of the angered one released earlier.

Tobias began to eat his kill, leaving no meat left on the poor animal as well as knawing on the bones as an after snack.Once he was finished, only knawed bones and a gorey mass of blood left as evidece of his kill, Tobias stood on all fours, lifting his nose to the air to scent the island he was on.He could smell everything from the trees leaves, to the creatures that resided on the island, even the water that surrounded the island, but there was something else, something he knew he'd scented before, something not quite like the animals he'd scented on the island.Then the memmories came rushing back of the night in that Russian village, the screams, the even sweeter taste of the tender meat that the kill had.It was a man, and it gave off an intoxicating smell that somehow lulled the wolf, mommentarilly stunning him as he thought it over, letting his body take control as he started to push on, slowly at first, then faster to a canter, his tail swishing in an excited manner.He longed for that tender flesh, that sweet taste, he wanted victory, he wanted to be satisfied with this prey.With his ears held high and his teeth bared fiercely, Tobias let out a low growl, speeding to a light run, not wanting his chase to end so quickly, at least not yet anyways.He could practically taste the flesh of the man on his tongue and feel its softness faultering to the power of his fangs.It made a shudder course through him in anticipation, just thinking about this new hunt, this kill he longed for so desperately.Yet another howl escaped the wolf, a sort of battle cry or challenge, threatening the man to take a stand run, to try and fight the power of this beast who lusted for his blood.He could barely wait, the sensational thought of his success made him impatient, but he kept himself calm and slow in pace.

It was delicious, the sugary scent of the human whom Tobias could tell was g closer and closer by the momment.The beast licked his chops as his mouth watered more and dribbled on the ground, leaving a very slight trail that would surely warn other animals on the island of his location, but he could care less at the momment.He only desired the flesh of the human, to its sweetness and savor it with all his might until he would find another human to prey upon to his heart's content.The wolf was now obsessed with this lust, his body now aching for it in the strangest of ways and his entire being only desiring that alone.Tobias took another sniff of the scent and found that it made something deep inside him feel nastalgic, weird blurry images rushing into his mind all at once and brinbing up a frustration from within.Still, the wolf refused to stop and pushed on harder, feeling that he was near what he longed for so whole-heartedly.Suddenly, Tobias slowed to a silent creep as he made his way to the very edge of the foliage that hid him and let his amber gaze rest on his unsuspecting prey.It was only a human fawn and was easily smaller than Tobias' large form, yet as much as he desired to feast on the man-cub, something in the beasts mind fought against the idea.Tobias ignored the feelig and quietly shook his form as he merely observed the boy, assessing how much muscle he had, how tall he was, how much fat he may have had on him.It was all intoxicating and Tobias could hardly stand it much longer as he ran his tongue hungrilly over his bared teeth.

With complete and utter stealth, Tobias snuck from his hiding place, making sure to keep absolutely quiet as he snuck around to the other side of the boat.Tobias peered over at the human, watching him scrabble around for something on the ground.Well, whatever it was, the child would never have the chance to find since the wolf was begining to loose his patience and simply wanted to eat the boy.Tobias jumped in the small boat, barely able to stand in it and loomed over the boy with all his teeth showing in a fierce smile at the child.With a loud snarl, the wolf made his prescense known to the teen and took a pose of attack, waiting the prey to try to escape.Tobias couldn't take it any longer and lept on on top of the boy, his snout blowing foggy breath that reeked of blood into the others face along with the drool that loosely clung to his mouth.Tobias was about to take his oh so desired bite out of the child, but stopped suddenly as the nastalgia came pounding back.With a momments hesitation, Tobias began to sniff the boy's hair, then his ear, face, neck, and lastly his chest, his big tail giving slow wags.It was then that Tobias remembered that this boy was Alexander and pushed amber gaze to meet the others, not only stunned, but a bit ashamed at his actions towards the young boy.Then the frustration bubbled back up and Tobias roared in Alexander's face before taking off into the woods once more, trying to run away from what he'd just done.

As Tobias continued running as far as he could from the child, his human subconscious couldn'y believe that the teen had actually followed him to this tiny island of hell.Not only that, but it was a miracle that he was even able to stop himself from devouring the boy on the spot.Of course, now there was a new problem, Tobias would have to leave this village for good and find yet another home for himself.Not that he enjoyed the idea one bit, but there was no other choice for him, Alexander had seen him and knew his secret unless he hadn't put the pieces together already.As soon as the sun came up, he'd need to get off the island and run for it, he'd need to escape before the other villagers found out and set themselves on killing him.Slowly, Tobias' logical thinking shrank back to the depths of his mind, relying on instinct once more as he climbed on a large boulder and gave a howl of warning to Alexander, cautioning him to leave before it was too late.With that done, the wolf's big amber gaze searched the wooded terrain, looking for any sign of life as he stood upright, his ears perked to listen.At the sound of leaves scattering, Tobias took off, a snort echoing off as he gave chase to his new prey, a rather large wild pig.This would be a more satisfying meal for the wolf than the deer was, but still, no matter how much kill he devoured, it would never be enough to quench his blood thirst.After all, he was a child of both man and werewolf, and neither one had a quenchable thirst for blood of the other race, the only difference with a lycan is that they killed everything, including their own, no matter who it was.

After a long night of hunting the few larger creatures on the island, the wolf made its way back to where it'd started, standing on its hind legs with hot, breathless pants.He knew that the sun would soon calm him and waited for it, his nose to the air as he scented for it, almost as if he couldn't wait to be human again.Soon enough, the brilliant rays of the sun cascaded across his dual-colored pelt, melting all that was the wolf away until only Tobias was left in his own nude skin.The male's pale form suddenly collapsed onto the chain-covered ground, tired and shaking as if he'd been working his max all night long.It was a few minutes before Tobias managed the strength to lift his head, then shakily stand and look around for his bag that had his new clothes in it.Once he spotted it, he slowly made his way over to it and took out his clothes before having to pause to take a breather and stable himself.Tobias slid into his clothes and pulled his bag over his shoulder.He needed to leave this place quickly, before Alexander could get the other villagers to come.As quickly as he could, the male made his way to the shore and stared out at the crystal-like water before diving in and swimming with all his might to the other side, thought it took much longer than rowing.Once he was back on the valley shore, Tobias simply laid on his back, panting while he tried to regain his strength to push on.

He couldn't be seen like this, it would only make him look suspicious in the eyes of the villagers.Mustering up the will, Tobias picked himself up and slowly started on his way back to the village, not even having the strength to fret over Alexander right now.At least the other villagers wouldn't be awake at this time, so that gave Tobias time to get to his house, pack some food and clothes, then get far enough away that he would be safe from the villagers.Tobias was so tired that he didn't have the energy to push on much longer, having been awake for about 24 hours now and his body being pushed to the limit by his forced transformation.Everything was blurry, but his nose could still tell the way as he walked on half asleep, stumbling around like a drunkard.Finally, his body couldn't take it anymore and Tobias collapsed, passing out right on the outskirts of the village from fatigue.He was now at the mercy of whoever found him, a wet, passed out mess with blood splotches maring his white skin.

Tobias slept after he'd passsed out, his body not caring at all that he could possibly be in mortal danger from anyone who took the situation he appeared to be in wrong.It wasn't long until one of the men from the village came across Tobias and panicked a bit, not quite sure what to do with the male but finally settled on picking him up and bringing him to his own home for his wife to take care of.It was a kind and lucky gesture on Tobias' behalf, though, even with the care of someone while he rested, he still couldn't find the strength to wake up completely.It was fine though, the gentle hands that dabbed a cool, wet rag on his forehead every once in a while felt increadibly nice and kept him relaxed.He wasn't all that used to being taken care of, but now that he was, it was really nice.Sometime around noon, Tobias finally opened his eyes and sat up, a headache immediately pulsing through the male's head and causing him to gasp in pain.He looked around, trying to focus his gaze on a figure that was entering the room and rushed over to him as they noticed he was awake,"Are you alright, Tobias?You shouldn't be up yet, just lie down and let me take care of you, okay?You don't need to push yourself."Tobias could barely comprehend the person's words, but took no heed to them as he stood against the gentle hands that struggled to push him back into the comfortable bed, but failed as Tobias set his mind to getting home as soon as possible.He couldn't let Alexander tell the others about his transformation, or that he'd nearly eaten the boy's face off before he realized who it was that he'd pinned beneath himself.With shaky effort, Tobias stood and slowly walked out of the house, barely hearing the other person's protests as he made his way to his own home that laid the closest to the forest.

Once his door was shut behind him, Tobias rubbed his eyes and gave a big yawn, stretching before a wave of ergency hit him and his senses snapped into high gear.He was in danger, or so he thought, and he needed to leave as soon as possible before things got bad.As he stressed, Tobias ran about the house trying to gather his things that he would need for sure and leaving the rest, only to notice that he'd left his other bag down at the lake and growled to himself.He didn't have time to worry about it now, he just needed to pack and leave, then everyone could just forget about him as if he were a memmory that never happened.Then Alexander popped into his head, he needed to apologize before he left, seeing as the boy was the only one that had ever been near Tobias in that state and survived.The male's heart sank as he thought about that, but he quickly shook it away and slung his full pack over his shoulder, ready to find Alexander and hit the road.Tobias guessed that as late as it was, the boy would probably be out working with his father or watching some of the younger children while their mothers prepared lunch for their families.With that Tobias quickly washed his face and left the house, searching for the child he deeply needed to see before he left.He just had to apologize for attacking the boy last night and assure him that if he hadn't already given away the secret that there was no need since he was leaving the village and moving on.After making his way into the forest a bit, Tobias slowed his pace and began to call out for Alexander,"Alexander, if you're out here, I need to talk to you..."
