As plans for the Asian Animalian Colony were getting closer to completion, there have been more volunteers coming from China and Japan. Part of that was also due to Jen sending work back to Japan to encourage old friends of her to go to Lyre to be healed of their various ailments.
One such person was a friend of her grandmother's. Ami was 75 but looked about 10 or more years older than that. Most of that could be traced back to the multiple cancers that have taken root in her. She wasn't completely tumor-ridden, but her life expectancy wasn't long. Even with the best cancer treatments, her old age didn't give much time either. And Ami wasn't ready to die, not just yet. She could see a new age was beginning to dawn and she wanted to be around to see it. And thanks to Jen's new connections at Animalia, Ami was able to be flown over to Nevada.

"Thank you for your patience, Mrs., er..." said the Horizon scientist, a little uncertain about how to pronounce her last name.
"Just Ami will do," said Ami, "I plan to change my name later, anyways."
"Ah, very well," said the scientist, "And have you thought of what kind of Animalian you would want to be?"
"I know exactly which one," said Ami, "A white wolf."
"Why a white wolf, if you don't mind me asking," said the scientist.
"It's one of the forms associated with Amaterasu, goddess of light," said Ami, "Or at least that's how modern culture see her nowadays."
"So, you're planning on bringing a little Japanese culture here," said the scientist.
"You could say that," said Ami. What she didn't mention was that she was bringing her culture to the Meat Market. From what she heard, the Greek erotica was starting to lose some of its charm and fresh material was needed. She had a feeling that some geisha dancing would be appreciated here. That old style was starting to die out and she wanted to make sure that it was not forgotten. That was another reason she wanted to be converted. And she had a feeling that playing out the tale of Amaterasu Hide Away will be very liked. The Japanese had their own version of the erotic arts.
"Well, I'm sure we can find a leucistic wolf that can be used to convert you," said the scientist, "Though now that I think about it, I think we can apply for a little arctic wolf DNA from the San Diego zoo. It might take a little wait, but it'll definitely get you the coat color you want."
"That would be splendid," said Ami.

It didn't take nearly as much time. The Animalian virus's uplifting process has been considered a boon to many beloved zoo animals that had were ailing. It was the least the San Diego zoo could do to send a bit of arctic wolf DNA, not arctic wolves were endangered. Making it into a serum was very easy considering all the experience that Horizon has with grey wolves. In truth, the arctic wolf is only a specialized subspecies of grey wolf that has adapted for the tundra.
Ami didn't outwardly show her excitement, partially because her old body wasn't as expressive as it used to be. But she could feel her heart pick up its pace when the scientist arrived with the needles. "I should tell you that senior citizens can become extra-frisky after they've been double-dosed," said the scientist.
"If you're suggesting I might get regressive hypersexuality, I assure you I have good control over myself," said Ami.
"Alright then," said the scientist before injecting the serum into Ami, "Welcome to Animalia." He then left the room to give her some privacy.
Ami could feel the new energy starting to course through her already. The old age and cancer that had ate away at her were now fading away. She could see her skin losing its wrinkles and pallor. Ironically, it became pale again when white fur started to sprout. She already feel her teeth starting to sharpen.
With more speed than she had felt in quite a long time, Ami started disrobing herself. Her shoes already felt uncomfortable as she pulled them off, showing the feet changing into paws. As her blouse came off, she saw her body was firming up, particularly her breasts. She had a very modest bust, but now her breasts were growing much larger. She pawed at them with her now paw-like hands, crooning a bit as she did. She quickly removed her skirt and panties before plunging her fingers deep into her dripping snatch.
Ami panted as she watched the woman in the mirror change. She was halfway between human and Animalian, fur still covering up more skin. Her face was stretching out into a lupine muzzle as her long tongue lolled out between her sharp teeth. Her hair didn't remain grey, but was darkening back to the raven black she had when she was young. A pair of pointed white ears poked out through it as they moved towards the top of her head. Ami whined a little as her tail emerged, a little uncomfortable, but the new sensation wasn't too bad.
Ami fingered herself harder as she got closer to climax. Her transformation was finishing as the last few places of bare skin were swallowed up by white fur. Eventually, she let out a howl as her pussy clenched and her nipples started dripping with milk. Licking herself clean (with a flexibility she didn't have before), she grinned at her new reflection. She might not be a traditional image of a Japanese goddess, but she was certainly what modern men would picture as one. Her long black hair contrasted beautifully with her white fur and her body was definitely sexy by anyone's standards, wolf or not. She couldn't wait to show off this body at the Meat Market.
