It’s 10:30pm and I feel restless. I’ve tried to sleep but sleep eludes me. This seems to be happening to me more and more recently. At first I thought it must be something I’m doing – something that I was eating that was keeping me up, something that was on my mind that was bothering me, something that was distracting me that I didn’t realize, but more and more I’m starting to think it’s something else. Things just feel different somehow. And not just at night.
During the daytime I find myself wanting to be outside more and more. I live in a city, and I’ve never found a reason to want to be out in “nature” the way people in the country might feel. But for some reason, I’m wanting to be outside. And I even feel jealous of people in the country that can go outside and just walk around a field or a forest or a hilltop.
I’ve found myself listening to the wind when I’m outside. I feel a connection with the wind. I’ve never really listened to the wind before… in fact, I didn’t even really know that you could. But you can. I’ve found you can hear things you didn’t even know were happening if you listen. The wind carries in sounds of animals, insects, people. You can hear things farther away than you think. For how long have I been ignoring all these sounds?
So I’m laying here right now, unable to sleep. Thinking about all the things that feel different to me, and wondering if anyone else feels the same. These different feelings(?) these different instincts(?). Is this what the beginning of a shift feels like?
My thanks to a friend (wanting to stay anonymous) for letting us share his thoughts with you…
If you’re a HUMAN – If you’re a human, and you’re given the choice of either meeting a vampire or a werewolf, you’re way better off with the werewolf. Vampires are blood-thirsty, undead creatures. Vampires live on, survive for, and crave one thing and one thing only – human blood. Even vampires that are centuries old still have this craving and this desire – it never goes away, and is always foremost in their mind. They must have blood to survive. And human blood is their preference. If you’re a human, you’re putting yourself at incredible risk by meeting a vampire. On the otherhand, werewolves do not need human blood to survive. As a human, you know that a werewolf may not like you, but does not HAVE to eat you to survive. Werewolves do not crave human blood the way vampires do. And while younger werewolves are more volatile, if you’re a human, and you meet an older werewolf, chances are pretty good you could escape unscathed if you are smart.
If you’re a VAMPIRE – If you’re a vampire and you’re given the same choice – of meeting either another vampire or a werewolf, you’re way better off with the vampire. Werewolves are one of the few creatures that can destroy vampires. And, although the feud between werewolves and vampires is a bit overblown and not altogether accurate, there is still tension between the two species, especially two individuals who do not know each other. And on top of that, vampires always, always, underestimate the true power of a werewolf. If you’re a vampire and you meet another vampire on the other hand, you have insider knowledge in that you know exactly what that other vampire is capable of and after. You’re better equipped to avoid another vampire, and chances are that vampire wants human blood more than he/she wants a conflict with another vampire.
If you’re a WEREWOLF – If you’re a werewolf, you’re better off with the vampire. Vampires tend to underestimate werewolves, so if it got heated, chances are you would have a good chance of winning. Vampires also have little interest in werewolves anyway, so the chances that it would get heated are not very high to begin with. If a werewolf met another werewolf however, anything could happen. Two werewolves can get along fine, however if they didn’t and if it got to the point where you as a werewolf had to fight another werewolf, the odds that you’d win would be about 50 – 50…one of the few things that can overcome a werewolf is another werewolf.
In most werewolf games that you pick up to play, the werewolf is considered a bad, evil, or vicious character, but in the 2008 Sega game Sonic Unleashed you get to play a good werewolf. The game features Sonic the Hedgeghog as Sonic the Werehog (or sometimes called by gamers Nightmare Sonic or WereSonic). The werehog has claws on his hands, claws poking out of his shoes, pointed ears, and a wolfy face. In the game, Sonic transforms into werewolf form at night. Sonic, while in werewolf form, is still considered a good guy – he is not considered an “evil” werewolf, and his goal is to restore the world that Dr. Eggman has split into pieces.
When the game first came out there was some controversy about turning Sonic into a werewolf – he is after all a hedgehog, which is already an animal. Gamers were confused as to why one animal would transform into another animal…basically with sonic, you have a hedgehog transforming into a wolf! Reviews are still mixed on whether or not people like the new werehog Sonic.
In the game when Sonic transforms at night, gameplay also takes on a more bestial overtone – gameplay is a little slower as compared to Sonic’s speed during the daytime, and the Sonic Werewolf Werehog has some tricks up his sleeves like extendable arms which stretch way out (no, I dont know what this has to do with werewolves), a special were-claw which Sonic uses to slash his enemies, and a special move were Sonic Werewolf slashes with both claws (called the Were-Wallop).
Here’s a clip of the Sonic Werewolf (aka Sonic the Werehog) transformation:
