Up: Game 2  Up: Game 2 Outline

Centaur of Attention

With unlimited potential, you are almost overwhelmed as you try to decide on your first change. Then you realize that the choice is obvious. As you think of what you want, your mind seems to lock on the image and examine it from every possible angle. Colors change, facial features shift, and size alters as you instantly examine and fine-tune every hair, every cell of this new body in microseconds. And then you change.

Clothes vanish, a good thing since you forgot to take them off. Your butt and legs throb and swell, and it feels like someone is pushing you forward. There is a moment of disorientation as your mind adapts to extra limbs, and then it is done. You glance down to see massive, rounded forelegs and black hooves almost totally covered by thick black feathering.

Your human waist blends into the body of a Shire stallion, replacing the animal head and neck. The horse body is huge and glossy black, and even your human form seems larger and darker. Shoulder-length black hair hangs from your head, and continues in a thick mane down your back.

The squirrel sighs. "Looks like we'll have to stock some more oats."
