[Bronze Woods] An Animal's Nature

12th Spring, 514AV

In the bronze forest, near a tall tree with a rusty old dagger with it's blade firmly stuck within it's trunk, was a ghostly boy aimlessly floating around on his back, as is he was swimming through the air. As Marcus swam through the air ripples of soulmist through the air, he could feel the boredom within himself well up. "ARGH!! So BORED! I wish there some something to do!" He exclaimed, as he plummeted into the ground, sinking below the earth and traversed underground in complete darkness. Marcus was hopping that when he comes out of the ground he'll come across some sort of entertainment.

After travelling a fair bit underground he decided to peek what was above him. stopping at a random location, Marcus propped himself in an upright position and slowly ascended. Slowly above ground, Marcus vague outline of his head rose out of the ground stopping when he had reach his shoulder. Looking around the area, all he could see were trees, trees and more trees. "Hmph..." Marcus huffed as his expectation weren't met. after letting about a small grumbling of words that were hard to make out, Marcus sank back into the ground and continued his search for something to do.

After several random locations were check for activities Marcus was about to give up and go home. However, his last scouting yielded something that could be interesting. Marcus stumbled upon a lone wolf searching for a meal. The would was brown with a lighter tone of brown on it's face. It was sniffing the ground as if it was sniffing out it's prey. As the wolf followed it's scent trail, Marcus followed the wolf's tail. Marcus is almost always invisible subconsciously, so the wolf didn't directly acknowledge his presences. However, the wolf look slightly disturb, but continued its hunt.

Looming over the wolf's back, Marcus decided to haunt the innocent creature. As the walks prowled through the foliage, Marcus extended his arm to reach the ground to touch a decaying leaf with the tip of his finger, lifting it off the ground. Marcus pushed the leaf towards the would as it moved and stuck it upon it's head, the wolf ignored or wasn't aware of the leaf... Marcus wasn't sure what he was trying to achieve with his action... Turning it up a notch, Marcus moved the leaf across the wolf's face like some sort of insect crawling. The leaf was moved over one of the wolf's eye, covering it. The wolf shook its head and the leaf came off... again, Marcus wasn't sure what he was trying to achieve...

The wolf continued its search as if Marcus's “haunting” never happened. Marcus, who wasn't having much fun at all, then decided to kick the notch higher. Looming towards the wolf's ear, Marcus whispered in a eerie tone “Dear wolf, Lend your body to me...” Marcus's humanoid shape broke apart into a shapeless cloud of mist. The mist then began to engulf the wolf, starting from the head and finishing at the tail. Each limb began paralysed as the mist seeped under the flesh trying to take control of the host. There was some resistance from the wolf, it was struggling for control. However, it's attempts were futile Marcus's will was far stronger than the wolfs, and as Marcus's conciousness flooded the wolf's head, it's mind was force to recede into the subconscious. Marcus was aware the the wolf is still able to regain control if Marcus's mind slips up. So to help keep the wolf's mind in check, created a mental cage around the wolf's mind, giving more time fore Marcus to play.

Being in a wolf's body was different compared to his usually humanoid form. The ground was closer and the body was a bit odd to control. “Bark!” The wolf's body barked as Marcus tried to speak. “Oh right, wolves don't talk...” He thought to himself, feeling kind of dumb. Marcus then remembered that the wolf was hungry. “Don't worry, mister wolf. I know you are hungry. How about I find you some food? Hmm... Ah here is a tasty morsel!” Marcus said as he strolled upon the wolf's meal. “Doesn't that looked good? I bet you could eat that all up!” Marcus lowered the wolf's head with it's mouth open over an horrid patch of filth. The patch of awfulness consist of wet decaying leaves, mud and fresh animal droppings. Marcus bet that the wolf will be over joyed knowing it had eaten such a “high quality” meal. With the wolf's mouth open, Marcus continued lowing it's head into the mush scooping up the delicious contents and forcing the wolf to swallow it, Marcus laughed as he forced the wolf to do it once again, and he laughed harder when he made the wolf go for thirds. Because Marcus was laughing too hard, he lost his focus and the wolf's mind was able to reject him out of the body. Marcus's ghostly body was spat out of the body, laughing on the way out. Marcus looked at the wolf still laughing to see what will the wolf do. The results were hilarious for him.

The wolf began coughing violently and sounded very course, this was probably because it's choking on the leaves and mud. Then it vomited out the content's of it's stomach, which was basically the dirt and dung. After it's coughing attacks, the wolf fled. It didn't know what happened or what it was fleeing from, but it know that it wasn't safe staying where it was. Marcus chased the wolf, feeling slightly drained from the possession. As he chased the panicked wolf, he was preparing round two. Up ahead Marcus saw a rocky, the perfect location for the next possession. At the very moment, the wolf stopped to check if the coast was clear, Marcus pounced into its body. Once again, Marcous was in control of the body, locking the wolf's mind into the subconscious. He took the wolf's body to the rocky formation, climbing to the top. It took a bit of effort because of the wolf's body was a bit awkward to climb with, required to leap onto stand-able ledges. Once he was on top of the formation, he looked down. The height was low enough not to kill, but high enough to do some serious damage. Marcus wanted to see how the wolf would react. Will it howl in pain, or will it try to flee again? Marcus wanted to see.

Marcus needed to do this act of jumping quickly. Even thought the wolf's mind was at bay, his soul mist is beginning to thin out and he is beginning to feel tired. Marcus forced the wolf's body to take a deep breath in as he began prepared the elegant leap from the rock. With his soulmist became thinner as time went on, he began the jump. He counted down from three. “Three” Marcus lowered the from of the wolf into a leaping position. “Two” Marcus tensed the muscle in the hind legs giving strength for the leap. “One” every was ready. Marcus leaped...

Almost immediately Marcus's concious and body was expelled from wolf. “What?!” Marcus exclaimed as his body moved forward in the direction of the jump. He whipped his head back and saw the wolf standing on the rock in confusion and panic. It once again fled. However, Marcus didn't bother chasing. He was too drained and was baffled about the indecent that just happened. Marcus was sure he had enough will power to make the jump and that the wolf's mind wasn't able to break free. It was like the body it's self expelled Marcus. Marcus retreated back to his rusty knife in the tree, pondering what had happen. Something like this has never happened before. Marcus was pretty sure that the body rejected him, not the mind. “Could this be... the will to live? Bahaha, what am I spouting out!” He laugh with a slight uneasy feeling. Feeling very tired he seeped into the rusty dagger, resting and pondering. “The will to live, eh? Why does that sound painful to me...?"
