some kind of quote here
Panic fresh in her heart Terra continues to scrabble at the ground, but her new awkward bird feet break through the loose soil and she slips yet again. “Mom! Dad!” She’s so confused, so scared. She's never been exposed to shifters before, had never even known that a thing like this was possible.
And then suddenly he’s there. A familiar dark shape crashes through the trees, then stands over her with wings outstretched. And while she’s still frightened, she suddenly knows that everything will be alright. Ruan and Reagan will know what to do.
After a few moments Ruan steps to the side, and finally realizes what’s happened. But while there’s concern, there’s no panic in his voice, and his infectious calm begins to leech into her. “You are safe. You are horse. Close your eyes and see it.”
She obeys, shutting her eyes tightly. And somehow instinct takes over, her mind remembering her hard hooves, and the way the earth feels beneath them. She’s so focused that she does not hear Reagan and Iasan approach … but she does unfortunately manage to hear the tail end of Iasan’s comment. “I’ve got a flipper bird for a sister!”
Her eyes snap open, but she checks her feet before expressing her irritation at her brother. Oh thank goodness. Hooves once again. Her brown eyes snap to her spotty brother, narrowing into a glare as he claims - “But I am not weird like Terra, or Heda or Jinju. I won’t ever have to worry about … changing like they do.” She bites back the insult about his face that’s rising to her tongue. She’ll have a chance to pay him back later. She wants to know what’s happening to her.
Her eyes return to Ruan, then back to Reagan. “Mom, Dad, what’s going on? What’s happening to me?”
