Asteri
While most of the residents of the Inn were sound asleep, one resident's room was filled with the sound of shuffling, whimpering, and whining. Star-speckled fur shifted on the bed, body tensing and relaxing. Asteri was sleeping, but not peacefully. Nightmares plagued her mind, and she whimpered Coy's name. Such violent memories, the loss of her friend were. She wasn't able to feel how her body contorted, became stockier, lost its beautiful black fur in replace for a hungry black that ate all light that hit it. She couldn't feel how wings sprouted from her back, broken and contorted, torn and unable to fly. Sharper claws grew. Her agony from the nightmares spawned this new form, an angel of darkness.
"COY!"
Asteri sat up, instantly feeling weighed down by heavy weights that sat on her back. She looked to see what they were, and her eyes widened at the wings. Then she noticed her fur, her body structure, her claws, and she yelped out of panic. She lept off her bed, wings dragging, claws clicking against the floor. Panic set in upon her regal face, set into her brilliant blue eyes. What happened? She didn't feel like herself in a way, as though something changed. Well -- something did change; she was stockier, with the darkest black fur she had ever seen, broken, damaged wings, and long claws. Then she noticed the scent - burning, ash, smoke. It wasn't her calming lavender and river water scent. It was different, it was scary.
She crumpled down like wet paper, covering her eyes with her paws as she bit her lip to keep from whining. Just another dream. You'll wake up in no time..! But this was no dream. It was a scary, shocking reality.
