Kasadya (Hellhound Awakened) Read Online Free Page B

at me was the same thing I saw with Lada, but it looked more like me. My hair was hanging over my shoulders to reach my hips, a lot longer than normal, and then I saw my wings sticking out from behind my back. Concentrating I moved them; I have no idea how, but I moved them.
    They opened gracefully; I closed them again and repeated the action looking at them with awe. They are definitely bat-like, but for some strange reason they are beautiful to me now. I looked at Maia to see Chax looking at me from behind her; he turned around again, not willing to show he was a little bit interested in my hellhound form.
    Smiling because he was such a blowhard, I turned to look at Maia.“Yip, not bad.”
    “You’re beautiful Kas, a rare thing in our fallen forms, but clearly not in you,” Maia said, and turned around to look at Chax. “All done Chax, now you can continue your training,” she finished.
    He turned around. “Thank you Maia, Vale. Kasadya come, we’re already late.” And walked to the door.
    “But how do I turn it off?” I asked him, definitely not walking back looking like this.
    “Just imagine it in your head Kas,” Maia instructed, pointing her finger to her temple.
    Imaging it in my head, okay I can do this. Closing my eyes, I felt my body reshaping and when I looked at myself in the mirror I was back to normal. Okay I can do this. I turned to the door to see Chax standing there looking at me with a face that said “today”, so I quickly thanked and greeted Maia, and then followed him back outside.
    We walked back to The Hellhouse . When we entered the front gate he walked around the house towards the back. I followed again without a word. Don’t want to piss off this guy. Reaching the end of the building, I could hear shouts and stuff from somewhere behind the building, and rounding the corner I stopped dead in my tracks. In front of me was the arena everyone talked about, a huge stadium-like thing. And there were pairs of creatures everywhere, sparring against one another; their Custos standing outside the fight giving orders.
    I saw Nanini in her pink form flying in the air, throwing pink bursts of light at a half woman, half bird creature. The bird thing screamed when the pink light hit her and dove for Nanini, who simply moved out of her way at the last moment. The bird thing flew straight into another fight.
    “Today Kasadya,” Chax demanded. And I looked back down to see him standing with two other people, so I quickly moved along and joined them.
    “This is Arianna Facetus and her Apprendo Lotan; you’ll be sparring with him today,” Chax said, motioning to the two standing there. Lotan I met earlier in lunch, so I just nodded at him and greeted Arianna properly.
    “Take your places,” Chax instructed and I looked at him, what the hell then? So I looked at Lotan taking a spot a few steps away from me, turning around to look at me.
    “Begin,” Chax said and Lotan changed into a big red guy with black tattoos running all over him; oh boy this doesn’t look good. He stood there waiting for me, so I looked over to Chax, who was already pissed off at me for not doing something.
    “Transform Kasadya and begin!” he shouted at me. Okay, I imagined the normal thing; let’s try imagining the hellhound thing. Closing my eyes and concentrating I felt my body change again, and when I opened my eyes I was just a head shorter than Lotan. Smiling, he made the first move and charged at me.
    Holy freaking hell! He stormed at me full speed his arm ready to punch me. Shocked, my body reacted on its own. Using my wings I lifted myself up a little and moved out of his way a moment before impact. Unlike the bird thing, he turned gracefully and punched me in the face. I went flying back and landed on my back, my wings trapped between the ground and me. Crap that hurt like hell.
    Lotan was on top of me, pushing me down with a smile and pinning me to the ground. He opened his mouth and teeth like a shark’s
