James had to get to the source of the scent. The desire was overpowering.
This was that instincts were like. James knew what he had to do. It was like doing something he'd done a thousand times before. He didn't need to think about it, he just did it.
Turning into a walrus had silenced the part of his mind that would question such an action. James knew the scent was safe. He didn't even think to question it.
Being a walrus affected Jame's mind, that much was obvious. However, he didn't find himself worrying about his sense of self or identity. He accepted these new feelings and desires as his own. As a walrus, it was okay to be a walrus. Oh, not just in terms of having the body of one but acting like one and enjoying it.
Any worry over being naked in the ocean wasen't there. James didn't concern himself with what others would think or if someone seeing him naked violated his privacy. He didn't think of how he'd face people if he changed back and they'd see him in all his naked walrus glory. Heck, he didn't see himself as being naked.
It was like a wonderful dream. James just swam, letting his instincts and desires be his guide without human inhibitions or worries to hold him back.
James soon reached the source of the scent. He surfaced, climbed up on the land the scent was on. He came face to face with another walrus. Then the walrus stood up in its flippers. James saw that it was quite a bit bigger then he.
Several other walruses Jame's size lay sunning themselves behind the larger walrus.
James realized that the walrus before him was a male. His instincts told him that this walrus was safe. He could feel the heat radiating from the walrus body. Its scent was strong and it had a commanding aura to it. James felt a sense of submission to the walrus. He felt safe around it. He wanted it to touch him and be close to him. James also realized that he was attracted to the walrus. This walrus was the strongest and had earned the right to mate with him and the others.
It was then that James realized with horror that there was a reason this walrus was so much bigger then him, he was close in size to the other walruses and why he felt the way he did about the walrus.
He'd become a female walrus!
The alarm to run wasen't there! James wanted to stay close to this walrus. He however knew that he shouldn't give into these desires. He had to get back home while there was still time. But did he want to? Was it he that wanted to stay or was his altered body giving him confusing desires?
Just what was James to do now?
