Aren had been taking out groups and groups of awakened for a day now, one after the other. And his numbers were constantly climbing.
He had just finished taking out the majority of members of another group now, having all of them eliminated, but one remained, looking at Aren with malice and rage.
"Die, you brat!"
The man roared as he rushed Aren, his body swelling and twisting mid-charge. In an instant, he transformed into a massive ten-foot-tall bear, its fur pitch-black and its claws like jagged obsidian nails. The ground cracked beneath its weight as it swung with overwhelming strength.
Aren leapt backward, barely touching the ground as the bear's attack slammed down where he had stood moments earlier. The impact carved a deep gash into the earth.
He landed calmly.
"Fang."
Fang burst forward like a bullet.
"ROARRRR!"
