My fingers lightly traced the ripple of muscle on Pharai's back as he softly snored whilst he slept on his stomach. His long silky burgundy hair spread across the bed like expensive fabrics. His long eyelashes gently caressing his cheekbones.
I could see the movements of his eyeballs and his upper lip would twitch. Occasionally I would hear him speak our ancient tongue and his body would jolt. I watched him with eager eyes the entire night as his hair was the first to change, followed by the colour of his skin and eventually the cracking of his bones.
He let out a howl in pain every few hours as his body transformed. His smooth small feminine features changed to his larger more muscular form. The power scale within the kingdom violently shifted as the serpents started becoming alive again feeling a new energy source was within their presence.
