Marty marveled at the others as they morphed, simply because it was such a fascinating thing to watch. It was particularly interesting watching the froglike Leeran become feline. After the Seer and the Leeran had finished, Marty stepped in the room, latching the door behind him, as the others had. He removed his outer layer of clothing, only the black suit remaining. He closed his eyes, and recalled in his mind Kage's morph, and everything he knew of the creature he was to become. Their keen eyesight. Their unmatched hearing. Their sense of smell that no man could imagine. People may as well be blind when compared to the wolves' ability to learn about their environment through the subtlest scents. He thought about what it would be like... being able to smell the others who'd already been here. Lion, gorilla, Leopard, another wolf. In fact, he wasn't just imagining.
While his eyes were closed, Marty's jaw jutted out, and his whole head narrowed. His teeth rearranged themselves, grew to points, and filled his mouth. And his nose crawled to the front of his muzzle, becoming black, and damp. Marty became aware of the other changes. His knees had switched directions with a sudden pop, and a cracking sound that should have hurt. And his legs were covered in shaggy gray fur. Within moments, he was Canis Lupus, the Gray Wolf.
It was exciting for Marty. Exhilirating. Wolves liked to run, and he would have, but there was no room here. Wolves were pack animals, highly social, yet there were no others. Marty howled. But no one came. After a few seconds, Marty said, <The wolf doesn't like being alone. It bothers him. And Kage has a noticeably male wolf morph, by the way. Good thing we didn't try morphing together....>
