The hogs swarmed the Chief as they voiced out their opinions about the mutation making their voices overlap each other. The Chief pacified them and told them to talk one by one.
There are top 3 choices that are quite similar:
1. The Humanoid mutation.
2. The Wings acquisition.
3. The Torso enlargement plus an extra pair of limbs.
This time the Chief thought of a solution on how to decide the mutation path since nobody wants to give way making the decision for the mutation to drag on. He asked the hogs to raise their tails when their preferred mutation path was called. The highest amount of tails would be the mutation path the horde will take. The hogs agreed to it as the solution was very reasonable. The Chief said loudly.
"WINGS"
A group of hogs led by Pic raised their tails, the Chief pointed a corner and let them move aside. The Chief continued.
"TORSO"
A group of hogs who were led by Jule raised their tails, she then glared at those who haven't raised their tails as if threatening them to raise it.
'Oy, that's not allowed Jule' is what I thought, but the hogs who were being glared at didn't succumb to Jule's threats.
I saw the Chief breath a sigh of relief.
Calm down Chief, I already convinced a huge amount of hogs. When they tried to ask me a favor, of course, I told them to return it when needed.
Seeing that nobody else raised their tails, Jule tried to persuade them by explaining different kinds of things. But still, nobody raised their tails.
The Chief, I and the Hogs who haven't voted yet gathered together.
Pic's group was lesser than both of our groups, just by looking at it while Jule's group almost have the same numbers with ours. In order to determine the winner, we pick a hog of our group and pair it with a hog of Jule's group. The group that got a hog without a pair wins since it has more members.
A huge smile can be seen hanging on the Chief's face as the pairing was going on.
'It's for the greater good Chief,' Though I felt bad for Jule. We cannot allow those humanoid limbs to pass by, just thinking about its potential, there are just way too many possibilities for it too.
A powerful flash of light brought forth a strong energy wave.The light turned brighter and brighter, before finally engulfing the entire hamlet.
I felt a burning sensation seemed to set all of the parts of my body ablaze. Along with the continuous burning of my body, I could distinctly feel my body was starting to change slowly. My hind legs were currently being stretched as well as my front legs, there was also an itchy feeling as every second passes by.
When the light started to change the form of my hands and feet, an extremely frightening agony constantly grated on my hands, even turning my vision blurry. I passed out.
When I woke up, a different kind of scene was in front of me. The hogs who now have long limbs with humanoid hands and feet are lying everywhere in the hamlet.
'It seems like I'm not the only one who lost consciousness.' I thought as I tried to move around. But for some reasons, I can't use my new feet and hands.
'If an enemy comes, then all of us will die.' I forced myself and attempted to move my hands, this time I felt a response. The finger in the middle was raised and the others were clenched.
Moments later, I saw Fig trying to move as well. He too was trying hard on how to control our new limbs. He turned his neck towards my direction and was trying to say something when a notification popped out.

'Oh,' I exclaimed as I shouted towards Fig.
"Fig what the hell's a Demi-Human"
Fig stilled, the usual fast response did not come.
'Maybe there are many things that are related to Demi-Humans,' While waiting for Fig's response I continued to move my hands. Now I can make grasping motions, I can move my feet as well. I put some force on my back and spring my upper body upwards trying to make into a sitting position. I failed.
*BAM
My head hit the ground as my upper body fell. The noise woke up some of my brothers and they too started to move their limbs.
'This is frustrating,' I continued to spring my upper body upwards, but then again a mysterious force continued to pull me back into the ground.
*BAM
*BAM
*BAM
'I hope this is temporary, or else,' Cold sweat started to appear on my face as I thought of the idea of permanent disability.
