5th day of Summer, 514
Azael woke up rather early that morning, he climbed out of his tent and folded it up before putting it in his bag. He was rather tired, but he couldn't let himself get caught unaware. The creatures within the forest were probably looking for a meal around this time of day. Azael was probably not the only one that thought getting out the forest quicker would be for the best. Azael stretched and took a sip from his water skin before putting it back in his backpack it had been a day since he had gotten lost in the forest and he had literally no more time to waste, luckily he had managed to avoid running into any truly dangerous creatures.
Azael's face broke out into a grin, he put on his backpack and began to walk through the forest of death; no one would be able to guess who would be the one to come out on top. [color=green]"Fetch you forest! I'll come out on top! I'm Azael the greatest thing to ever grace your land!"[\color] Azael shouted at more or less nothing, scuffling in the bush next to him brought him on edge. His paranoia had him even wear his gauntlets in his sleep so Azael got into a stance rather quickly. As basic as it was it would certainly help him out more than being still.
His left arm was brought out in front of his face while his right arm was guarding his chest. His legs were spread apart and his knees were bent ever so slightly. The noise from the bush was coming closer putting Azael on edge. What hopped out was a rather small snake, nothing for Azael to be truly worried about, but even then he didn’t feel like sticking around, so he carefully moved away from the snake prepared to leave within a moments notice. He had a day’s worth of travelling to do, and he needed to do it fast too. He left the clearing he was at and went back into the forest, the canopy was filed with sounds while the bottom of the trees were considerably darker.
Azael felt droplets of water fall onto his head, those few drops of water turned into a heavy down-pour. Azael ran for cover, he wasn’t one to like rain, sure there was enough cover above him at the moment, but not enough to shield him from the rain. He took off his trousers and everything underneath along with his gauntlets and packed them away, faster travel was needed. He put his bag back onto his back, and began the slow transformation into his only known morphing model. Slowly Azael’s body stretched, bones moved, skin grew fur, his teeth grew and after a minute he was in the form of a tiger. Azael was a good deal smaller than your usual adult tiger, a little above half-the size and weight. His back was still strapped to his back, thanks to the small change in size, although it would be a little awkward to move for now. He’d be fine though, he was the greatest Azael around.
