Natter squirmed against the confines of her cocoon, sweat trickling down her face and tickling her neck. She hated the changing, and it was only because her mistress had asked it of her that she was willing to do it.
But even as her heart beat a sluggish tune inside her chest, she admired her handiwork. The silver covered every bit of her, although her hands felt odd. Different. Tingly. She wiggled her fingers as much as she could—which wasn’t much—trying to discover what the difference was. She could move them a little and she could feel them, but it was as though they didn’t belong to her at all.
