Ba-dum. Ba-dum. Ba-dum.
The sound of my heartbeat continues echoing throughout my head... everything else feels distant.
Rika's voice is also very hard to even understand anymore. I think this transformation is the cause of it all.
It all feels like background noise compared to the power surging through my body now, again this is definitely different.
I slowly lower my gaze towards my arms.
Black and purple scales cover both of my arms completely now.
The red glow leaking through the cracks tells me that I'm still using the dragons power as well as the crystals.
The wounds that were tearing me apart moments ago have also come to a complete stop. But they aren't fully healed either.
Instead it is just done causing me pain it seems.
Almost like the powers finally found something to force a ceasefire between them.
A strange sensation runs throughout my entire body.
