[June 17, 2008] [Original] Part Four
Title: Part Four.
Theme: June 16, 2008. She keeps calling me back.
Characters/Pairings: Mentions Zita.
Rating/Warnings: PG-13. From Part three, this jumps ahead about ten years, so Zita's son is about ten years old as is the Svyrin.
It was fascinating to watch him turn around in wonder, trying to take in every detail of his new form. Riley never got tired of watching Sakota transform, muscles moving under sleek fur in preparation for the shift. It was even fascinating watching the reverse happen but for now he was admiring Sakota's form. He could still remember the first time Sakota had shifted to his human form.
The bond had formed when they were eight and the consequences had been traumatic.
"Sakota!"
The transformation had been queasy for Riley and Sakota had seemed disoriented. Zita had heard her son's distress and had come running to see what the matter was. As soon as she caught sight of Sakota's naked body in human form Zita had cursed up a storm. It was common knowledge that a Svyrin didn't transform unless it had bonded. Cursing up a storm, Zita had called for two servants who she had hired in case this very thing had happened. There was a ritual that happened after a first transformation and if it wasn't done properly the Svyrin instinct would take over and release certain pheromones designed specifically to call to the chosen bonded's lesser instincts.
The experience wasn't something Riley enjoyed remembering and he promptly pushed it out of his immediate memory to return to Sakota watching.
