Shivers raked his human body and somewhere deep within he knew he needed to transform, the dragon could take the cold - he could not. With the petals effects taking place he searched his chest for the second heartbeat. When he heard the faint thud he focused as much of his mind as he could spare on transitioning. His body rippled and he morphed from a man to a beast, scales covering his sensitive skin. There was pain where usually there was none. His arm did not like the switch but now he had done it, the fire eased slightly.
