(Tsumi) Moon and stars shine bright

She was breathing again. Very lightly, but at least she was alive. “I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT WORKED!” shouted Z, happily.“She’s alive…. I’m glad. I couldn’t bear to lose a friend like that.” Tsumi said, internally. The moment of comfort was not to last, as Luna’s arm suddenly moved around his neck. She opened her eyes for a second, a slight grimace appearing on her face. “At least she CAN make a face.” Z said. Suddenly, her face moved up, and she kissed Tsumi on the cheek.

Tsumi’s eyes were as wide as dinner plates. A real kiss…..from a real girl! Any emotional stability he may have had was gone with the wind. “TSUMI! STAY CALM!” Z yelled. Alas, it fell on deaf ears, as Tsumi was already in the midst of transforming…again. Tsumi broke away from Luna, and began shaking, as a new sensation filled his body. One of….extreme silence.

The white in his black-and-white hair turned red, and his pupils dilated, becoming shaped like clocks. The fire on his wings faded, leaving only the bones behind, and the black on his skin shrank back, stopping at his right arm, keeping it in claw form, but allowing Tsumi to look (ever-so-slightly) more human. One of his fangs shrank, leaving him with only one fang, on the right side.

Tsumi stood up, now in his new form (Hereby referred to as ‘Heretic Form’). He picked up Luna, and took a bottle full of tea leaves and powder for later use. From here, he climbed up onto the roof of the Three Glaciers, laying Luna down on a flat surface. He did not speak, for he feared that, whatever his new voice sounded like, it might scare Luna, upon her awakening.
