Arms spread wide, she could feel the wind burn past her face as she plummeted. She felt no fear, only freedom, of movement, of thought, of sound and moment. The sound that ripped past her lip burbled with joy, even as it echoed back a raven's caw. Adjusting at the last moment, she caught the current of a thermal, and was abruptly arcing up higher and higher, tucking her talons up under herself so that they barely brushed the tops of the ancient forest trees. She could live this way all day, any day, for the rest of her life. Merely enjoying the bounty of Elune's night sky, and thriving off the bosom of the earth itself.
Abruptly back-winging, she caught her claws on a thick outcropping of rock, a bare shelf that peeked out of a heavy area of trees. Sweeping her wings back in a smooth motion, she seemed to ripple, wings moving, changing, until she was suddenly striking out on all fours, long tail and pointed ears marking her as distinctly feline in nature.
