    He didn’t answer, his eyes closed tightly as if in pain. Then, with a sudden, gut-wrenching roar, his body began to shift. Clara stumbled back, her own instincts kicking in as she felt the pull of her own transformation.

    She stepped forward, her own transformation taking hold. Her body shifted, her fur a crystalline white that sparkled like ice in the moonlight. She stood beside Noah, her head held high, her eyes meeting his. There was a moment of silence, a moment where the world seemed to hold its breath.

    Clara felt a shiver run down her spine, her heart skipping a beat. "So are you," she replied, her voice just as soft, just as filled with wonder.

    Clara nodded, her heart swelling with a fierce determination. "Together," she agreed, her voice just as steady.
