Challenge accepted!

I stare out across the room. He is there, my ancient enemy. The monster. I wonder how he will come today, a useless thought but it kills the time I spend in vigil. "mmhmmm" My charge murmurs in her sleep. I lay back, allowing my fluffy tail to brush against her face. Sweet dreams child, I thought to her, No need to fear. Creeeak. I fire a silent blast of light. the smell of ozone fills the room and is swept away. Crap. The witching hour has started. I allow sparks to envelop me as I step off of the bed. She is safe as long as I stand. One more night, just one more until the nightmares end. A lie, an empty hope. I have no idea how long these battles will last. Children stop believing in monsters at different ages, but it is a comfort, one I desperately need now. Something slick and cold wraps around my velvet leg and I feel the foul slime sink into my stuffing. I force down a shudder as I fry the tentacle. A tentacled horror or a deep sea? I hear a slow call, deep and almost melodious like whale song. Deep sea, nice! I would grin if my stitching had the ability. I didn't relax, the danger was real. A deep sea swims in the shadows, attacks from all directions, and is weak to electricity. I dive as a beam of sonic energy passes over me. Getting stunned now is death, for me and my charge. I turn, catching a brief glimpse of a dorsal fin. The pieces start to come together. I focus, the next attack will be a bite or a blast of poison. A massive orca head surrounded in a mane of tentacles, eyeless and silent but for that unending whale song that was just short of being peaceful. Leaving a truly disquieting feeling. I blasted a bolt of raw lightening down it's throat, attempting to disperse his chosen vessel. No luck. The commitment, though damaging, did not kill it. Teeth wrapped around me, clamping on the soft velvet of my fur. I silently cry in pain, and focus. I felt a dozen tentacles wrap me up, in and out of its mouth. It was trying to rip me apart. I felt my seams splitting, my skin tore, and I couldn't help but smile. Too late nightmare, I exploded in an omni-directional blast of electricity. Better luck next time you- My thoughts freeze as the vessel disperses, and I am replaced in my charges arms, inanimate once more until the next night. until the nightmare comes again to steal my charge. I will not fail her, I will not. I will- sleep.

Mayhem chaos honey badger. I would argue several books consider chaos an element for magic.

absolutely agree

I grumble, sauntering through the wastes. My wastes, I think proudly. The constant shifting of the trees speaking to my soul. I look at the village near the river of sand. The roses are sifting for anything that has washed up in the flow of grains. I huff. The town seemed a bit stagnant. I headed there, time to shake things up. I stepped foot in town, already reaching my influence out and- "Enough!" A human, a true human in plate armor stepped into the open, the roses fled from us. Who was this petulant mortal? I growled. I who surpassed all my kind to claim this territory! I willed my influence upon him, and was rebuffed. It remained stubbornly remained unchanged. I roared, enraged. The houses became flesh and the road gold. The sun went out then blue as the unnatural light spilled across the road. Then it stopped. The houses were would, the sun a pleasant yellow shining unchanged. Then I felt it. Order. Stagnation! "You're tyranny ends Badger of the Shifting Wastes!" He cried, "By Aurina, goddess of Order and Law I will slay you!" He charged, as I did. My body flickering across the road, my body shifting and changing. My bones rearranged themselves and my claws melded painfully. I relished the pain, the changes, the strength. It was mine! We clashed, my arms stretching and spinning in a blur of scythes and death! What ever influence Aurina had did not affect myself. Good! But not enough! I felt pain in my throat and cried out, "When I have finished you I will fine this Aurina and flay her flesh from her bones for touching what is MINE! I will- Growl Roar!" My throat shifted once more and I lost my words. It mattered not! I will say though, this boy, for a boy he was, was skilled. He blocked my sudden nigh unpredictable strikes and even struck blows of his own. It matters not. My bones rang against his steel as his steel rended my ever shifting flesh. It mattered not. With a cry he brave a slash across his face and buried his sword in my belly. I gasp as the hot iron, like fire, filled me. I smiled, a smile that comes from knowing I will feast upon this bastard's flesh! "H-How?" He whispered, "How are you alive?" I laughed, feeling the familiar burning in my throat as I gloated. "Cause honey badger don't give a FUCK!" I roar, tearing into his succulent throat, blood splashing across my face, filling my mouth with its sweet taste. I flowed off of the blade, the source of this insidious order driven out of my home, but not yet dead. I feasted upon the knight, his savory meat sating my blood-lust, for now. "I will find you Aurina, and I will K-rowl" I huffed, ending my influence upon my body. Then smirked. I will tear this world apart to find you. I bring an end to this ORder you hold so dear, and perhaps you will learn not to touch what is MINE!

I glare at the 'pirates' as I understand them. Sending charred ships into my waters after filling it with blood. I hated them, and I let them know. Shooting my acidic ink beneath their hull, dissolving the wood. But even as I sank one 2 took their place. So I was driven to this. A talk with these... Humans. I sigh, it was not all bad. They were, pleasant enough. I looked at the officer on deck. "No more pirates?" I ask. confirming our deal. "We will do our best. These waters are uncharted for us." I nodded. I had assisted greatly, able to swin in even shallow water had allowed me to give detailed information upon their coves and hidden islands. These Royal Navy humans would take them away, in exchange for defense if I am able. Anything to get rid of these unbearable creatures from my shores. "And on our side, you will defend our ships?" I concur, "Within my waters." We watched eachother a moment more, before the officer broke. "I will not lie to you, sir." He admitted, "I never thought I would be heading a ship along side a massive kraken." I chittered, in full agreement, "And I did not expect to need to speak to humans at all. I much prefer to avoid your kind." I pause, "Though you are better conversation than I expected as well. I might look for another such human to converse with." I sighed, "But first things first." The officer nodded, "Until tomorrow," I sank beneath the waves. Here's hoping this finally ends this pirate scourge.

“Your fry cook’s an ass!“ shouted one particularly rude customer. “What of it? Don’t like the waffles?” My boss, Edna, asks. “How the hell is he cookin’ them? With his teeth? I ain’t paying for this shit!” I roll my eyes, refocusing on my orders. Truthfully, I never thought of what I wanted for my life. I was happy being a general ass all the way. Stubborn rude all that. Then the nightmare came and suddenly I can do shit like this. “Sweet mother of Aldric!” The man cries, the words, “Kindly Fuck Off” in black letters floated over his partially eaten plate. I honk as I hear a thump. Serves him right. Edna tsks and calls back, “eggs over hard, taken on the road, hashed and bloody!” I grab 3 more eggs from the fridge and the other ingredients. Breakfast rush is almost over thank god! I need to go to the guild later to finalize my papers. I pop the waffles out of the griddle and stack them with an order of scrambled with bacon. Classic. I carry the plate to the window and ring the bell. Dark numbers 1 1 hover over it. This job has been incredible for my magic control. Once my certificate of personhood is signed by the local guild head I’ll be an actual person. My own badge and everything! Yup, not what I expected or even what I wanted at the time. A whole lotta work but… Edna smirks at me, “stop scaring the patrons, we need the business if imma hire your replacement.” I whinny and flick my ears in agreement. Today a fry cook, next week an adventurer, next year? Who the hell cares. Long as someone’s cursing me out it’ll be a good day.

I stare at the scepter in my paws. 10 years. 10 whole years since I was made into this monstrosity! I was on top of the world back then. Had my pride, a mate to call on and a trained house of humans to feed me at my call. I had it all! Mother warned me, warned all my litter, of curiosity and its dangers. You do not explore the unknown, you avoid it. How right she had been. A mouse had run into a hole large enough to squeeze through, and I followed, expecting a cornered meal to play with. No such luck. Instead it was a massive square cavern, a tomb of a god I later found out. I had been filled with dread, but the mouse! Where could it be. I was hungry and too far from the humans to bother with. So I searched, following its scent until I came across the throne. I saw a pile of bones scattered at its feet as a beam of sunlight shone over the golden seat. A sunbeam! Upon gold it would be perfect to nap on! Mouse forgotten I hopped up and it was exactly what I had hoped, purfectly warm. But something was laying in my spot! What the hell was this odd rod? I poked, prodded. Then I smacked it with a bit of force, knocking it off the throne, and my body followed. My paw stuck to the scepter, the word burned itself into my mind’s eye. Gaea’s scepter, that is what it was. I felt my bones warp, my muscles tear. For an eternity my life, existence was pure agony. Then I found myself… A. A. A fucking human covered in fur! My only relief was that my beautiful muzzle was untouched, just massive! And my hand, paw, haw! My haw was still stuck to this dammed scepter! 10 years, wandering trying to find a cure for this condition! Humans are as easy as ever, one even replaced my need for a mate, though I swore never to tell another cat as long as I live. What men will do for relief, I’m disgusting. But I have hope, there is a way. Once this party and I reach the bottom of this hellish prison, to the djinn chained here I would once more be in my rightful place back at the forest! Soon…
