After a very long time she was running through the forest with the wind passing over her thick course hair that extended all over her entire body. At first she was thirsty, and just knew that there was water far off to her left. Judging by the amount of moisture she felt on her nose it had to be a lake, a fresh water lake.
Darting towards it she felt her powerful hind legs burn with the force of her run. Tire, she would not. Sense and feel this she could. The moon was high in the sky above the trees, and she raced it to the lake, howling all the way there. Fun, and free, without the hurt she felt in humanoid form she pranced, and danced about trying to catch her tail.
Lapping up the water in the lake, she could see her reflection. Alexandra had to be ten feet tall at the shoulder, covered in course hair from head to tail, black as the night sky, and crystal blue eyes with a long snout. The nails on her padded paws looked sharper, and larger than the grizzly bears that she had seen in the books she read in the town, Bannian.
Between fifteen hundred and ten thousand pounds she considered herself to weigh in this form, but with all the hair, and the fact that she was light on her feet made it hard for her to really tell. After drinking her fill, she felt hungry. Alexandra fed on the many animals that were no match for her hunting prowess. She practically swallowed them whole. Bones, fur, and clothing she ate without a care to what it could be as her hunger urged her on. It all did not seem to matter to her as she ate whatever was too close to her mouth. Blood dripped from her teeth as a strange energy flowed through her body and darkness was about.
