Arcades awakes with the pain receeded, but a new sense just at the edges of his awareness, a conciousness shareing his own, but more vicious and ravenous than any other he'd encountered. He begins to realize that the foul creature he killed had infected him with it's curse, Lycanthropy.
He had to find Kaylisa, she was a Druid and had more experience with this sort of problem than he did. Since he didnt want the beast taking over his original form and becoming that much more powerful, he remains in human form, so the change would only become a humanoid Werewolf.
After walking a short ways back to the town, The beast begins washing over Arcades' mind, as if attempting to drown his conciousness in a sea of animalistic emotions. He anchors his mind above the flood, keeping himself aware and safe from the mind of the beast.
The transformation to his body was painful, not like his normal shapeshifting, and once the sickening crunching of bones and shifting of organs was done, the Wolf began heading straight for town with a landspeed Arcades' human form couldnt hope to have.
"No! We dont hunt humans, we need to find Kaylisa!" He screams in his own mind, but the most he can do is steer the creature away from the town and back toward the Taven of the One Eyed Wolf, where the scent of his friend was strong. A wolven howl fills the sky to warn her of his arrival.
