"What in the seven hells and the gods bellow did you do?!"

Good morning sleepy! You have evolved!

"Everything is spinning! It feels like the things I see are entering my head! THROUGH ME EYES!"

I just added a couple of eyes? Does it really do that much of a difference?

"YES!"

Do not scream. I can hear you perfectly fine.

"How can I scream in my head!?"

'I can hear you.'

"Oh, Pohc.- wait why can you hear me??"

I gave you telepathy! Now you can speak as a wolf as well! And you will be able to understand what a lot of other creatures say since they unconsciously think what they mean to tell you. Even if they talk by waving their hands you should be able to get the general idea of what they mean~

"Uh... how does that work?"

I just told you?

"No, I mean... eh, forget what I meant. So I can talk with Pohc now?"

'So it seems, Great one. I am honored to be talked to directly by you.'

"...Great one?"

'Yes. Mighty Wolf, who brought us knowledge and intelligence. We are forever in your debt.'

Fanv looked at the hare.

"Have you... have you always talked like this? The other rodents as well?"

'We have spoken in this way ever since we gained words. You look confused, Great one? Have I offended you?'

"No, not at all...It's just... You sound so... so dignified. It's not what I expected is all..."

Fanv shook her head. Her picture of cute rodents talking in cute ways about cute things shattered. Her stomach rumbled.

"Again? I ate yesterday, aren't wolves supposed to be able to go days without food?"

Evolving takes a lot of energy. Being hungry is normal.

"Evolving-... WAIT I EVOLVED?!"

Yes! You are now a Visvarg! A creature of my own creation, name, shape, and abilities all new to the world!

"... But I don't feel that different aside from my weird sense of sight and telepathy..."

Your sense of sight is different because I added 3 more eyes. Telepathy is a rare Skill. Your long limbs were originally a result of your body getting deformed from lack of nutrients when your first transformation took place. I changed that so the long limbs will be natural for your species. Your organs, bones, and joints will be more flexible than a normal werewolf's so you will be able to transform quicker and with less pain. There should be some changes to your temper as well.

"This is a lot of information to take in..."

And the part I am most proud of: I figured out a way to make you very fertile. You should be able to mate with both genders and create offspring-

"I WILL NOT MATE!!"

I knooooow.... But if you ever change your mind-

"Nooooo!"

But-

"NO!!!"

Not even if-

"NO! NO! NO! NEVER! NO MONSTER BABIES FROM ME! NOPE!"

'Adoption maybe? If you raised a wolf, dog or any other kind of canine then wouldn't it be possible for them to evolve into a Visvarg?'

"I dunno... Maybe?"

So if I claim a litter of pups then you will raise them into Visvargs?

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

Maker looked way too happy about that idea.

"No kidnapping babies. Not even dog babies. That's not alright."

You are so hard to please sometimes...

Fanv's stomach made another loud noise to remind everyone that she was practically starving. She rose and hurried into the tunnels before Maker could come up with another plan for future generations of monster wolves. Pohc trotted along by her side, matching her gait perfectly. It was hard to remember that he was a rabbit at times, he was way too good at imitating her.

As she sniffed and scanned the dirt floor of the tunnels, Fanv noticed much more details than before. She could make out tracks in the dirt that she hadn't seen before. 5 eyes are better than 2 huh. A particularly big footprint caught her eyes. Hoof-marks from a big animal, possibly as big as her. The tracks smelled kind of like the cows back home, although very faint, presumably old tracks.

"Pohc, do you know what left these tracks?"

'Tracks? I see no tracks, Great one.'

"They're right here. See?"

She scratched at the ground right next to the tracks. The hare shook its head.

'This one lacks the superior sight the Great one has been blessed with. Maybe if you described them?'

"Uh, they look like marks from hooves. BIG hooves. And they smell faintly like cows."

'Cows? We have no such creatures in the dungeon that I know of. I was born and raised in these caves so if it's an Outsider then I know not what it is.'

"Erhm... Do you know of deer then? Big 4 legged creatures who eat plants. They have hooves and sometimes horns?"

'I know of deer. My kin has told me about them. A fawn wandered into the caves a long time ago and then evolved into a new creature. I believe Maker has named them Deear.'

"Deer?"

'No, Deear. Dee-ear. Like ear and deer made one word. They have excellent hearing and sight so catching up to one- no, even catching sight of one is a grand challenge for even the fastest rodent.'

"That dungeon lady really do love puns..."

'She sure does...'

...

"Let's try and catch a Deear."

'... As you wish, Great one. I shall ask my kind to help us corner it. Deear are cowards who run from even the smallest rat. If we work together then maybe...'

Hours went by without any luck. The Deear they've been chasing was just too fast. Or so Fanv assumed, she never saw the creature herself but the rodents that ran in and out of the wall-tunnels informed her everytime it got away from their encirclement. 

After what felt like the 100th time a rodent had piped 'I am eternally sorry, but the Great one's prey has escaped us yet again.' Fanv screeched in annoyance and sat down with a huff. The damn thing was way too aware of where they all were and where they wanted it to stay. There were just too many forks in the road to block them all off. She screeched again, this time in surprise when a black furry shape emerged from the ceiling. She hadn't noticed it until it coughed to get her attention.

'Greetings wolf. I have been watching for awhile now and don't think you will be able to catch that Deear on your own. I-'

Fanv kept screeching and pointing at the thing. It was the biggest spider she had ever seen. And it spoke. Hell no that must be the freakiest thing she has ever seen. Bugs were creepy and shouldn't ever grow as big as a small dog. Who in the world allowed-

'Miss wolf, could you please- Miss?- MISS WOLF!- Please stop screaming at me.-'

The rodents just watched in amusement as their great, dignified leader screeched at the distressed spider who tried to calm her down.

"BIG. FUCKING. SPIDER."

'I am a spider yes- Could you not-... I'll just- Sit here until you- calm down...'

It took a great effort to stop screaming. And an even bigger effort once the spider tried to speak again. By the end of it, Fanv was panting from all the screaming and the spider looked very concerned and about ready to sink into the ground ceiling.

'Are you done now? Can I-'

"Don't wiggle."

'?? I'm sorry, what-'

"Just-... Don't move your legs around like that, alright?"

'Ok... I'm sorry, I know my appearance is disturbing...'

"No-... Look, I'm sorry for being rude but... I'm just no good with bugs. It's nothing personal. Gods am I feeling dumb right now."

The spider looked at her in concern. It clicked its mandibles nervously but stopped when it saw the wolf's eyes go big again.

'Let's just... forget that ever happend. You never screamed. I never scared you. We're all good... How bout that?'

"Yes, let's go with that. Sorry... Uh, let's introduce ourselves? I am Fanv... Visvarg"

'Uhm... I don't have a name... I'm a Shadow spinner.'

That name is too damn ominous! What's with this situation. It's super polite and awkward though?! What do?!

"Uhm... I'm sure Maker will give you a name sometime so don't worry bout it ok?"

The spider winced. Could spiders wince? She got the feeling that that's what it did at least.

'I highly doubt that. Maker doesn't like me at all so she won't give me anything at all if she can help it.'

Fanv huffed at that. She would need to have a talk with Maker about that. Sure you might not like someone but you can't just bully them. Sure she acts like a child and technically is one but still, isn't the dungeon like the mother or something? She should be more mature about it.

"If she's being that stubborn about it then why don't I give you a name. Hell, you're still part of the dungeon so she shouldn't be THAT mean to you."

'....Would you really? Would you really give me a name?'

"Yes, why not? I gave Pohc a name so why can't I give you one?"

'I-I, would he honored to receive a name.'

Fanv put a paw to her chin as she thought. She hadn't really thought this through. Sure she could give him a name, right? She just hadn't thought of a name... Let's see. It's creepy but polite so it should have a friendly, normal, non-threatening, name. Oh,-

"Sorry for asking but... Are you a man or a woman?"

'I am male. Don't worry, It is hard to tell other species' gender. May I ask what yours is?'

"Ah, I see. I am female..."

Ok. So a male name that sounds like a guy you'd like at first glance. Peter? Ruth? Nah. How about-

"How bout Samuel? The people can call you Sam as a nickname."

Nicknames are good. Friendly people, everyone likes has nicknames. That's how it is right?

'I like it! Thank you so much, I will be Samuel from now on!'

She could feel Maker 'tsk' somewhere in the tunnels.

"Shut up Maker, I'm doing your job here! If you're not gonna help us then go sulk somewhere. We are very busy! What were we doing again, Sam?"

The spider shifted around a bit. Too many eyes and legs. Fanv couldn't help but shiver a bit. 

'I was about to propose a plan on how to catch the Deear. If you share your prey with me then I think I know how we'll catch it.'
