#1 Becoming the Creature
First Fanfic that i've published. OC who gets dropped into ME, but different because she has been tranformed into a tiger. Like in Breaty and the Beast she must make another see past her animal form to return to being human.


In the heart of Ithilien, two Rangers lay with their bellies to the ground, peering over the crest of a hillock at the strange orange-and-black striped beast aimlessly pacing the ground beyond.

"What think you, Damrod?" Faramir wondered. "Some creature of the Southrons? A beast of war escaped from its masters, perhaps?"

"I know not, my lord," Damrod whispered. "I have never seen nor heard of its like before. If it is the Enemy's, we should take it before they come seeking it. I'd wager these creatures aren't so common in the South that they would simply let one wander free."

Faramir did not respond immediately.

"My lord? Shall I shoot it?"

"I wonder at the beast, Damrod," Faramir mused. "It has not the manner of an animal accustomed to war. It seems almost timid, though it is handsome. If I had my wish, I should like to study it further, and learn what use the Southrons find for it. I take it to be a sort of large cat. Note the eyes—almost intelligent."

Damrod grunted. "If that is a cat, I should hate to see the mice!"

The men had a quiet chuckle.

"Ah well," Faramir sighed at last. "There will be time for wishes if we survive the storm to come. Take it, Damrod. I shall have to be content with studying a handsome carcass."
