Fatalis was absolutly livid. First, it had been killed by a human. That wasn't the problem. He had killed many humans before. His talons were caked with dried blood whenever foolish humans tried to attack it. Even if he died, it was no matter. He would posess their bodies and return. even if it took years. But this? this was different. Fatalis had been ruling over castle Schrade for years when suddenly a blinding flash of light enveloped the world. His senses were overwhelmed... and when he came too, he was in this *ridiculous* body. So top heavy. inelegant. Where was his size!? His power! It was... *gone!* Like all the 'monstergirls' as his kind was being called now, he found himself unable to attack humans. No matter how hard he wanted to, he could never hurt them. At least the humans knew to respect him! Even if they knew not what he could do. He took the hunter's sword. the one that had been used to slay him previously and swung it with all his might onto the the training dummy, shattering it. again. As a followup to his attack, he blasted the remainder with his hellishly hot fire.

He would fix this. He would destory whatever had caused this. return to his own body. cooperate with the humans, find a human and mate with him. Produce offsping-- NO! He roared in displeasure, throwing his sword into a cliffside. It was thrust deep into the cliff and got stuck. There were those thoughts again! Something was making him think about sparing the humans again! It was bad enough he couldn't fulfil his purpose, but now something was trying to corrupt that purpose!

"Hey Fatalis?" his neighbour said, approching. "you need some help there? I heard roaring."

"you'll be hearing SCREAMING if you don't leave me!" he snapped. an empty threat. He had tried. Oh GOG had he tried to hurt these humans. But something always held him back.

"got your sword stuck again, huh? i'll get that for you." the human said. Male... and attractive. NO! His claws went to her head. Her...? she forze. Oh no... she was losing... parts of herself. Like how she devoured the minds of hunters that slayed her. The human worked to pry her sword from the rock as she looked at her body. Well... this was how she looked now. These useless fleshy sacks on her chest... they didn't even serve a purpose for monstergirls... but they felt so good... she ran a hand along it and let out a reptilian growl. She didn't notice when the sword was finally freed and she was tapped on the shoulder. She hissed and glared at the human, who looked... lightly burnt? Why was his face red?

"your sword, Fatalis." he said. "or... do you prefer Fatty?"

"FATTY!?" She demanded. "YOU DARE CALL ME FATTY!? I AM FATALIS! SLAYER OF HUNDREDS! DESTROYER OF SCHRADE! YOU DO NOT CALL ME FATTY!"

the hunter sighed and rolled his eyes. "roar all you want. I know you can't hurt me. But all right. Not that. How about..." he pasued for a moment. "How about Khalida? That's the person that used to live here. The one you--"

"Khalida...?" she asked. the name hit her like a getting hit with a dragonizer. She even recoiled like she had been hit. The name. It fit into place. Fatalis was her species. Khalida was her name. "I... am Khalida." she said looking at her claws. "I... leave me!" she turned sharply and flew into her dwelling. She had carved out a nook for herself in the basement and breathed her hellishly hot fire. partially melting the rock. Her hands over her head trying to steel her mind.

full disclosure: this story is something i just came up with on the fly. Perhaps what if Khalida had not become the dominant personality of the fatalis anthro, but instead the monster still in control of the body.
