As i follow the movement of the large dragon as he bounds farther and farther away i start to grind our claws into the loose sandy soil as my eagerness to give chase.<br/><br/>to try and divert some of our energy to let Zearo get some distance i start to speak to Arakin "is this need always so..intense or is it more powerful becuase we're both feeling it, if its normally like this i don't know how you can keep from instantly wolfing down everything that comes near you.<br/><br/>Not sure of the reason why you say we would be better in the forest other than the larger dragon would have a harder time moving through the trees i say.." you are right that we should push him towards the cover of the trees then you can show me how to hunt but for the moment i think ill try something that you may not have thought of.<br/><br/>With that odd statement i close our eyes and cast the gaze of my mind deep inside our body searching through our flesh for something.<br/><br/>A few minutes later i grunt as i find the remains of my body, but instead of any one one lump that may remain down in our bowels i instead force our consciousness to brush against all those tiny cells that had been broken apart and absorbed into our blood stream, by now those nutrients had spread all throughout our body but as i had learned long ago when i first began shaping my body, all cells had an instinct remembrance of what they had been, it was that remembrance that was activated by those out in the world when they needed reform their bodies and it was that which i activated now.<br/><br/>As i felt those cell begin to awaken from dormancy and fuse with parts of us i remember how hard it could be to actually shape flesh.<br/><br/>Strangely enough it was often far easier for a shape shifter to completely change their bodies from one thing to another but it was far harder when you tried to blend aspects from two separate specie together such as i trying to do.<br/><br/>Growling, i use the excess energy that had been worked up inside us by our excitement and our recent feeding to fuel the changes that were happening along our back as nubs of fresh new bone and muscles began to push through our hide as they attached to our shoulders.<br/><br/>Panting harder now i keep our hands from reaching around and scratching at the two lumps as they extended outwards behind and to either side of us as tiny hair like bristles burst through the surface of the new limbs only for them to become wide and larger as the bristles filled with blood and began to spread wide into red and silver feathers.<br/><br/>Groaning at the idea of being freed from the ground once again i say "now Arkain, ill let you witness my world" as i lifted our wings high into the air and marveled at how easily the new but untrained muscles that spanned between our back and the wings held the weight of the appendages almost effortlessly.<br/><br/>Letting out a roar of joy i pump the wings, each which were almost double the length of our body downward and feel our feet lift from the ground as the natural strength that came with Arkains body allowed us to soar without needing to rely on thermals as i had always done.<br/><br/>Finally feeling free, as the changes leave us ravenous, the need for large struggling prey fills us again as i look down upon the far away world below us and catch a glimpse of purple far off to the west along the edge of the glittering water below.<br/><br/>Tucking our wings to our body i take us into a light dive before opening them again and gliding a dozen feet above the water, evening out i set us on a course almost parallel to Zearo i let out a massive roar to let him know that we are to the left of him but not to close to make the chase end and hoping that he would flee into the cover of the trees to his right.<br/><br/><br/>(soz for the long post..hope you liked it)<br/>(edit..corrected the abysmal spelling)
