Immediately, a change began to take place. Goro's hobgoblin form started to shift.
His rough, green skin smoothed out, becoming a fair, human tone.
His hair turned black, flowing down and framing his face. Muscles rippled under his skin, giving him a strong, bulky body.
His clothes transformed as well.
The rough, ragged garments he wore morphed into a white outfit. The fabric looked sturdy yet was torn around his fists and sleeves, giving him a rugged, battle-worn appearance. His eyes changed to a dark, pitch-black color, deep and mysterious.
Goro's entire form shrank slightly, taking on the look of an 18-19 year old boy. His face softened, gaining an innocent look that belied the power within him.
The transformation was so flawless and precise that it was jaw-dropping. It was hard to believe that this young human-looking boy was the same hobgoblin from moments ago.
It was as if a wolf had turned into a lamb, yet retained the strength of the predator within.
