Nova
when fears are grounded,
Her twisting movements tangle her tighter in the restrictive hold of the vines. She bites at them with her sharp fangs but immediately regrets it when a vile taste touches her tongue. Nova gags and hisses, trying again to use her claws as Caly comes to help. The vines already ooze from the few spots she's managed to slash at, but her sister succeeds in cutting away at one of the tighter parts, causing the vines to slacken their hold in preparation to retreat.
Wishing desperately to be free of the nasty Void plants, she feels an unfamiliar prickle spread through her. It takes half a thought for the world to start growing around her, the restraints falling away from her shrinking form as they become massive before her eyes. She blinks as her muzzle suddenly shifts to a bright red beak. She can't see the rest of her body, but she can feel that her front legs have split into six delicate appendages that she tucks in tight to her side and her hind legs are weaker, talons gripping into the dirt.
Without anything to hold, the vines slink back into the forest, leaving Nova to stare up at her sister. Excitement and curiosity bubble through her as she hops on her two feet, her white and rainbow plumage ruffling with the movement. CALY! Look at me! Am I a bird?!
