Ascension…

Steel clashed against steel as the two tribal leaders fought atop a hill stained by years of war. Both were human, both proud, and both determined to kill the other. Around them, their warriors watched as the duel neared its bloody conclusion.

Then the heavens split apart.

A blinding pillar of light descended between them, forcing both men backward. The earth trembled. The sky darkened. A colossal figure emerged from the radiance, its voice shaking the world itself.

“HOW DARE YOU.”

The warriors fell to their knees.

“Generation after generation, you wage war. You spill blood. You teach hatred. And now you seek to end one another’s lives with your own hands.”

The two leaders tightened their grips on their weapons, but neither dared strike.

The god’s gaze burned into them.

“You have forgotten innocence. Forgotten compassion. Forgotten what it means to live without violence. Therefore, I shall remake you.”

The divine being raised a hand.

“You will be transformed… changed… rewritten into more innocent forms… breed able.”

Golden light engulfed both leaders.

You cried out as gray fur spread across his body, his ears lengthening into pointed wolf ears, his hands reshaping into clawed paws. A thick wolf tail emerged behind him. Behind his balls small delicate slits formed. His powerful human frame became that of an anthro wolf.

The other watched in horror as orange-red fur covered his skin. His face pushed outward into a fox’s muzzle, large fox ears rising from his head as a bushy tail unfurled behind him. Behind his balls he too forms a delicate slits. He too became an anthro beast, an anthro vixen/fox.

Their weapons slipped from trembling paws.

“You shall not return to your tribes as the men you once were. Learn humility. Learn understanding. Learn innocence. Only then may you reclaim what was lost.”

The light intensified.

And in an instant, both transformed leaders, you and rex vanished from the battlefield, leaving only stunned silence behind.
