Eso opened his eyes slowly as his groggy mind came back to consciousness. Unable to remember the night before, or even his own name at the moment, he was quite curious to find out what was going on and where he was. The smell of burning herbs mixed with petrichor tickled and assaulted his nostrils as he wrinkled his nose, trying to get away from the strong conflicting scents. He slowly opened his eyes, his blurry and stinging vision, eyes squinting at what light they met. Even half open he could see it was nighttime but light was coming from somewhere close by. He heard what could only be described as a hum you could feel vibrate through your body, a very familiar hum that he couldn't quite place just yet as his mind stirred back to life.
Eso finally won the fight and was able to fully open his eyes for a few seconds, seeing blurry figures in the light surrounding him and communicating to each other in a way Eso couldn't understand. The cold stone slab under him had detailed carvings etched into the surface. The etching started to glow faintly as the vibrating hums continued and began to get stronger. He sat up slowly and looked around, seeing finally that they were kitbulls surrounding him, about five of them. 'That would explain the humming vibrations.' He thought to himself as he began to notice he was tied and gagged.
Eso pulled at his binds slightly testing their resistance. Not bad for a bunch of three foot tall kidnappers. This seemed to be a running theme with him. He always seemed to find himself in the middle of trouble someway and for some reason, much like a pastime.
The glow on the slab began to grow brighter and the carvings seemed to just seep the bright light now. He noticed his feathery body becoming more furlike and his legs were getting... shorter?? Was... was he turning into a kitbull too? Is this what poor Yuju went through? He'd always assumed that kitbull had a screw loose but maybe he really was a browbird, at least at one time. Is this a normal Friday night ritual the kitbulls just seemed to host, much like a movie night you have with your friends? Eso wasn't sure, but he didn't really want to be part of it, he hoped that there was a reversal potion to this.
He felt his horns shrink and his body began to morph more, a bit painfully he'd like to note.
Suddenly, his vision began to blur as the world went black.
