The tiny, smooth fingers that were holding the silver fountain pen began to crack, long, jagged lines of charcoal-black iron mapping themselves across her wrists, turning her pristine corporate template into a dense, heavy substance that looked exactly like the rusted hull of the Vane-Absolute. "No!" the newborn's billionaire voice shrieked, the sound dropping into a terrifying, multi-tonal rasp of pure, human panic as the weight of the Mainland hit her nervous system. "What are you doing?

"The template is real now, sister," I whispered, my vision going black as the last of my life force was dragged into th

“Your body might be starting the shifting process, Sky. You can’t just discount discomfort.” I took her wrist and gently moved it away from my neck. “How about I try to make dinner and you tell me about how this whole thing works.” Her eyebrow went up. “Did you…did you not learn about shifting?” Pulling out a knife and cubing up the spam, I laughed. “I mean, you kind of tend to tune out things you don’t think you’re ever going to need.

Template extraction complete. Final phase initiated.

To have a full moon for your first shift means the Moon Goddess is looking out for you. While it was painful and not something I ever want to go through again, my first shift went faster than I thought. Your body is not used to shifting, and the first one is always the worst. Every bone in your body breaks; fur grows out of your skin, and it can take thirty minutes to an hour to shift. Once you’ve done it, shifting becomes easier. Not that it still not painful, but less.
