Surprise!

Frederica smiles and steps forward. "Good! You are seeing sense! Luthor - pass the amulet to me. I might let these two live, after all!"

You exchange yellow-eyed glances with Irene. Just as Luthor bends down to pick up the amulet, you both act. You dive upon Frederica, taking her and her wing men by surprise - whilst Irene growls, and rams Luthor over, snatching the amulet, before placing it around her neck. The glowing from it now becomes more rapid, and the magic strengthens...

"No! Stop her! Frederica growls in realisation, and struggles to escape your claws.

"Too late!" You smile at Orville and Wilbur. "Move - and I'll scratch her!"

The two of them halt, unwilling to risk losing Frederica.

"I am the werewolf slayer turned werewolf," Irene declares proudly, standing a few yards away, arms raised in the air. "And now, the ritual WILL be made complete!"

There's silent explosion of light from the amulet. The energy form of a humanoid wolf appears in its midst, and merges into Irene. Then a 360 degree shockwave of golden energy sweeps outwards from your friend, pushing out in every direction. It strikes everyone present: yourself, the other werewolves, and the humans presently being hunted down. The light rays fan out as far as you can see.

Nearby, a mother and her young children run out of their house, pursed by a hungry wolf that managed to get in. Then the energy strikes them - and the family yell, then collapse - withering - on the ground. All three of them - now furred - then rise, and howl at the setting moon, just as dawn is beginning to break. The werewolf that was chasing them comes to a halt, confused. He looks as if he's entered a trance.

You look around. The chasing, the fighting, and the killing - all have stopped, just as you hoped would happen. Everyone is now a werewolf - whether they be standing on two paws or four.

No - not werewolves, exactly - you tell yourself. You're all furred for good. You are part of a new species. Homo lupus. You smile proudly.

Silence falls. All the wolf people turn towards Irene and bow to her.

"What are your commands, my Queen?" Frederica growls submissively.
