Transformed! Into a Demon…?

占卜结果 Equius splutters as the summoning circle goes horribly wrong and blue smoke consumes them, coiling up from the ground. Archaic runes rise from the floorboards as magic weaves its way into the helpless vessel.

There is pain…and sorrow.

Equius’s spine twists. They feel a burning, writhing sensation as if their very nerves are wriggling to break free from their flesh. Suddenly, something is changing…

Equius blacks out.

When they come to, they’re lying stiff on the cold floor and their new form covers the now-ruined circle.

Wait …new form-!?

A set of skeletal wings seems to be attached to them, splaying wide across the dark room.

The light flickers on above and the next thing Equius notices is that their body is covered in tiny dark feathers. A short, furry tail catches them by shock in the corner of their slitted emerald eyes —they blink rapidly before finally looking at their feet and hands, equipped with deadly hooked talons.

Small curly horns stick out from Equius’s cranium above pointed ears that hear everything… save for the old thrum of Equius’s mortal heart.

They’ve become the very monster they sought to control.

A groan works it’s way up Equius’s demonic throat. They bare their sharp teeth and usher a guttural, icy howl. A harsh wind then plagues the land, carrying frost that stings the skin and doesn’t melt. Hundreds will freeze to death...

…this is the existence which now grips them eternally.
