Houndoom watched the other members of her pack. Her horns were raked sharply back, almost turning a circle. A sign of the pack leader.
Houndoom 2 approached the leader and placed a black and red stone at her feet. “We found this stone while out hunting and instantly felt a connection to it.”
Houndoom grinned. “I recognize this stone.” She picked it up in her mouth and jammed it into her skull pendant. Heat coarsed through her as if her blood turned into lava. She stretched taller, her outer bone structures growing, her tail splitting, her horns tall and rigid, until she stood taller than anyone in her pack, now Mega Houndoom.
“HEY YOUR HORNS AREN’T CURVED BACK ANYMORE”
“WE NEED TO DECIDE ON A NEW LEADER”
“What–”
All the Houndoom started beating each other up to decide a leader.
