new dawn [ability one shot]

[Deleted]

Autumn 2021

It had been a gruelling month. Petri often kept to himself, not speaking much unless spoken to. He was easy to delight, but preferred to listen rather than speak for the most part. However, keeping this mandrake leaf under his tongue for the past month had been exceedingly difficult. Many members of the kommun were already animagi, and were able to relate to the difficulty he was currently going through. But tonight, an electrical storm was expected, and finally the process would be complete. Pertu was with him, and while sometimes they thought they could read one another's minds, that was not the case.

This process had become more and more personal to Petri. While he did wonder if he and his twin would have identical forms, it did not matter in the end. As night fell across the kommun, Petri and Pertu went their separate ways to drink their potions. Petri glanced up at the lightening across the sky before downing his potion and speaking the fateful words that would reveal his true animal form. The potion slid down his throat, burning him from the inside out. He choked out the incantation, feeling like he was on fire. The burning spread from his inside, taking over his entire body.

Petri's skin erupted in goose pimples, feathers emerging as his form shrunk down to that of a pure white dove. He opened his wings and took flight, natural as the dawn now breaking across the horizon.
