Novel & Cerita Raven Method Shifting

With a surge of power, I lift him and slam him to the ground, a force I never knew I carried. The shock of it barely registers before pain explodes. I drop to my knees, a crack tearing through my shoulder blade. Another shatters my hip, and I scream. My hands twist, nails lengthening into sharp claws. I… I am… shifting… “AAAAH!” My body begins to shake as if it were in shock, and the ravens begin to fly aimlessly. I can’t think, I can’t even see, even though my eyes are open. I feel a soft, warm touch.

--- Closing Scene: The Camera Catches Everything A camera in the corner blinked red. Raven’s team had requested the late lab slot for “transparency.” But Ave and Blake got there first. So now? The system was recording them. Every shift in eye contact. Every unspoken word. Every almost-touch. And Raven? Raven was going to use it. Not to sabotage. No. To expose. Because what was better than ruining someone’s chances? Ruining their reputation. .

And on top of that, their enemy was using a heavy dampening field to obscure themselves. All the Ravens could see on their sensors was a maddening mix of scrambled signals and fuzzy outlines. They could certainly easily see the trees themselves, it was that most incoming electronic signals were warbled and ghosted. They could barely tell where every mecha on the field was stationed, and could hardly see each other. At least, if not for Raijin’s shoulder-mounted Skymirror EWar pod. She scanned the forest before her, and detected minute changes all throughout it. Though their signals were still heavily scrambled, she used multiple datapoints to help pinpoint their enemies’ locations.

A new Warrior will not intentionally harm someone they love, but accidents involving unaccustomed strength, claws, and teeth happen. The most important thing is to limit mood fluctuations and stress. Tonight, just forty-eight hours after her first shift, I'm taking Marinah into a situation that ticks all the wrong boxes. Axel thinks it's a mistake and I'm not far behind him. Physically, Marinah is doing great. It's her mental strength I'm worried about. She has little warning when she shifts, but I'm pleasantly surprised at her ability to push back the K-5 when it attacks. She's amazing and we only need her to hold it together for an hour at the funeral.

I answered. “Is that what you would do?” “A life for a life is hard a concept,” I went to explain, “but this is three lives taking over fifty. Even then, it doesn’t seem fair.” “I think the coven would agree, but that’s not what happened. Athena cast yet another spell to keep her sons in their beast form, and made it where they couldn’t be killed. You shot them, they healed. You could never get close enough to behead them, which is the only way you can kill a shifter. Like really kill them. They can’t grow another head, can they?” I shrugged. It’s not like I was ever in the position to find out.

Awoo! Raven howled in agony, still feeling the shift happening in every single bone and nerve in his body. The five newly turned wolves then howled in different roar and level of pain until Raven suddenly attacked the first one who shifted. The rest of the pack was a bit of surprised because Raven was such a quiet boy, and it also alerted the council. Then, an expected fight among them broke out.

I whispered to myself. “Mr. Sky, I would require your full attention in this class. I would not tolerate any form of interruption,” Riven barked. I rolled my eyes. Jeez... I just wanted this shit to be over. He adjusted his radar, clearing his throat. “So, first of all, I shouldn't be the one teaching you what shifting is all about,” he announced, mockingly looking at me. “Obviously, you have learnt it a million times already. And all those times, you still failed. So… I will just jump right into the basics.”

Raven slowly removed her jacket and tossed it onto the ground. She rolled her shoulders and stretched her neck as if preparing for a routine training session rather than a fight to the death. “It's been a long time since I've done this,” she said with a grin. Her eyes moved over me from head to toe. “I just wish I had a better opponent.” I remained silent. Raven's grin widened. “Too bad today is going to be your last day on earth.” A few wolves in the crowd cheered at her words. She bared her fangs at me, a low growl rumbled from her chest as her body began to shift. Sharp claws extended from her fingertips, and her eyes glowed with the predatory confidence of a wolf who believed victory was

She said, and I stood still, closing my eyes with a quiet whine listening to each thud, as it’s quick, loud pace slowly subsided to a steady, even beat. I tried to call to her, but as I did, a shrill whine came out instead, which confused me even more. “No… no, don’t Raven, don’t be scared. Look for me… can you see me?” She asked and I steadily blinked several times, until I could make out the trees clearly, and as I looked to my left, there she was. Standing in front of me… but strangely so much smaller! She was just looking at me with her mouth wide open. “You shifted, Raven!”. She said with delight.
