In Check

The fishermen approached the group of beasts on the beach.
"Look." said a burly man to a red-haired one. "This 'anger-to-calmness-to-brainwashed' spell better work or Belboz will torture us for a thousand years.
"Belboz!" thought Astra. He'd been the one to trap her in the first place at the bidding of his master, the dragon! But he was a fool. Sure, most of these poor souls would be angry at their current situation and unable to control their animal desires. But Astra was a princess and that meant something more. She was in control of her changed body and the lack of anger now meant she wasn't brainwashed. She could use this...

"All right, you freaks!" shouted the red haired man. "On your feet and follow us! You have a glorious destiny at the king's castle and bringing down the corrupt Great Kingdom!"
Astra followed the dulled and deadened beasts. The crowd skirted a large pile of boulders. A ship came into view, docked about a mile up the beach. Astra's mind was racing. What was to go on here? With the powerful magic controlled by the forces she had seen, it could mean virtually anything.

Astra decided to test her captors. Still keep the dull expression the other creatures wore, she shuffled in the vague direction of the burly man. She made sure to keep going towards the ship, but each step brought her closer to her target. Abruptly, he whipped out a large blunt stick and shoved her in her arm.
"Get the hell away from me or I'll chop you in two." he hissed at her.
Astra obeyed. That was it! Contamination! They were going to somehow transfer, via close contact, a disease of sorts. And oh no...

Astra had heard of genuine humanoid wolfs. They lived in the forests of the lands and these magical creatures, well, they demanded sex from male travelers. Astra knew most of the stories were fancies of drunken braggarts but such fox beings did exsist. And if the members of the king's court were to dally with the beasts...the base of power for the Great Kingdom would be brought low!

The Great Kingdom was not her lands, no, but Astra could not let it be corrupted by such a foul plan. She had to do something.

1. Astra does something right now.
2. Astra waits until they enter the castle. Though the were-creatures might not be able to speak to humans, she would at the very least, act insane. No one would trust the creatures after that.
