I hope you like it._**\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nA young man was walking in the desert, what he was doing there nobody knows.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\nHe dropped down and lay there ready for death, then an oasis appeared out of thin air.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\nConvinced he was going mad from the heat, he non the less crawled towards the mirage.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\nManaging to somehow make it, he was surprised to find the shade real.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\nRecovering, the young man made it to an open part at the centre where a sparkling pool lay.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\nHe gulped the water having never thought that water could taste so good.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\nLooking down he cried in surprise at his reflection. Looking back at him was a jackal instead of his own reflection.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\nHe peered over again, curious. The jackal mirrored his every move.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThinking he was suffering from heat stroke, he decided that he might feel better after a dip in the invitingly cool water.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\nStripping off he stepped on into the pool, only to feel as if something had taken control of his legs as he kept on walking, deeper and deeper.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\nHe yelled as his head went under followed closely by bubbles.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThe water turned white, as if it had suddenly frosted over, before a jackal emerged.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\nLooking back into the water was the jackals reflection, until he noticed a furred leg out the corner of his eye.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\nSuddenly, he realised that he had become the jackal that was staring at him.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\nGiving himself a quick nip to make sure this wasn't a dream, he succeeded on just drawing blood.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThe blood tasted odd, different to his human blood.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\nHe then caught sight of movement, as another jackal appeared into the oasis.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\nGrowling at first, he then caught the scent indicating this one as a female.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\nWagging his tail at her and accidentally hitting himself in the face with not much control, he shook his head and gave chase.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\nHe couldn't remember the last time he ever felt so free and without worry as he joyfully skipped on after her.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\nJust as he had left a pure black jackal appeared before them and touched noses, as if giving him it's blessing.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\nSomehow he felt like he had been a jackal his whole life now as he ran off after the female into the dessert sands.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThe black jackal then wondered back and stood on top of the water as it adopted a more humanoid shape.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"You where never meant to be human in the first place\" the Anubis said as she disappeared along with the oasis.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n**What do you think, I tried to remember as much as I could so I hope it was alright.**  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
