Exton

Stoney kisses Alise gently and steps away. The shields are no longer pulsing with negative energy, but they are stretched. He can use the excess energy to change, instead of drawing it from the elements. Making sure he has enough room, Stoney lets the energy flow into him. His form shimmers, converting the energy into more size, more mass. His wings extend and he drops to his knees. Gone is the tall quiet giant, in his place is a granite mastiff, flexing his wings slowly. He kneels to the panther, offering a palm.

"If I have Alise ride my back, will you let me carry you?"

The panther rubbed his arm and Stoney opened his wings for Alise to settle on his back. Gathering the great cat in arms. Stoney bids Raina and Nicholas a good morning and launches into the night.
