Where a teenage human boy once stood just a few minutes before, was now a huge, fully-grown, naked Minotaur. The human boy was still in there, yet not completely faded in the glimmer of intelligence and conscience of the back in Jeff's mind as the Minotaur was now in full control of the body. the beast didn't quite understood about that glimmer though as he did cared about how He was a powerful brute in body, but had the enough smarts in the mind.
he was indeed A monster, but only by normal standers as His eyes adjusted to the light that the Minotaur soon realized for he remembered just where he was. still, in his foggy, sluggish, animalistic ways of being nothing but a Monstrous Minotaur that he now knows just what he was doing there. he was with others for he was a member of an adventuring party of four, including himself.
The creature that had just been Jeff felt a smack on his shoulder blade near his back as someone spoke to him, while snapping him out of his thoughts. "come on man, let's set up and get going." came the kind, yet young style of a voice.
Jeff dimly started to remembered now. He only felt thick leather around his hip waist, wrists, and ankles as he was also wearing a spandex style boxers under his loincloth, shoulder plated armor with leather straps around his chest to keep his armor in place, and a gold metal nose ring that bulls wear for fashion while getting glared with unrestrained hatred at the adventure guild. He had been working in a guild for quite some time now, when a small group of adventures came up to him and asked if he was interested in joining their party. He accepted the offer as he He looked at the three people in the party that one was a fighters with a skilled swords, an bearded old man in a white mages robe as his staff tip was a blue sphere, and a female cleric dressed in red with a yellow pattern that she was carrying two strange looking guns on her. Jeff bellowed a bit again as willingly followed this kind warrior, yet felt restrained by the mage that was near by.
"Ok! we got our next assignment ready, we should probable check with our equipment. we don't want to have the same mishap, like we did before with that spider mission anymore than what we already have. the guild master will even pay top extra coins for completing this task ahead of schedule." The fighter said, but the mage stayed his hand as he did his best to gruffly sit it back to himself.
"I still don't like it. even if this Minotaur is now our party member, they're still dangerous. besides, The only good one that Minotaurs are for... is a dead one." The mage said sadly, with a bit of anger for he had a bad experience with one attacking his father when he was just a child.
The cleric approached Jeff slowly as she nodded, next to the mage. "Aye! but you knew the danger that's out there, once we set out."
Jeff took a moment to drink in the scent from each of his members and felt a stirring. It was only the fact that they were like family which allowed him to stay his anger, even while they were in town long enough to allow himself to act more human then beast. "It will be fine, my friend," she gently said, patting him on the back as he felt like he wanted to be patted on the muzzle instead.
The two guys took a moment to check out the equipment, before they started to settle out for their next mission. once that they were all packed and ready to go, The fighter had agreed to take lead point. For Jeff's part, the Minotaur bided his time for some action while The humans all thought that this creature was nothing but a mindless beast which was capable of no other thought than just the need to fight. What they didn't know was that he had been working on his language skills quietly, except for the cleric.
as he was almost free to speak that the cleric carefully reminded him about his secret, the secret to talk. not wanting to let the two know about it now that he stayed quiet about it till camp as she was sleeping with him in the tent, but they don't do very much for she carefully helps him talk each night. little by little with each lessons is when he was able to do cave man talk, "me... Jeff. me... Minotaur.", but with each progress that he was able to soon enough speak nearly in a complete sentence, "ma'am, I... thank you. thank you for these secret lessons. Jeff will try... to get better... at this speech you call... English." even though it was quite a ways yet as it was now starting to bother Jeff's mind, what was the guild's mission?
