A Beginner’s Guide to Your Approaching Metamorphosis

~ Sleep will not come easily. Your dreams will be of glimmering fur, of snapping jaws, of flashes of claws and teeth. You’ll know it’s time when they begin to bleed into your waking life.

~ You may notice that your shoulders or back are starting to ache frequently. Do not be alarmed. Your wings are coming in.

~ Start leaving your window unlocked. And don’t be afraid of intruders - they won’t last long if they decide to climb through your window.

~ You’re going to begin waking up covered in grass and mud. Start getting used to it. Oh, and don’t be alarmed by the occasional drop or two of blood.
