"I'm about to turn into a dragon and I want pictures of my transformation and it would not be pleasant for my feet to change while in steel toed boots" I said as my hands started feeling really hot.
I felt the heat spread over my entire body. As it did my skin became orange in color. I remove my t-shirt and shorts (but not my underwear). While I did this I started feeling a prickling sensation in my arms and hands. When I looked at them I saw copper colored scales growing in. The scales started spreading over my body. Large Cyan V shaped plates, scutes, started covering my chest. My finger nails grew into cyan colored claws. Moments later I felt my neck become tight then pop as it grew longer. More scutes covered the front of it. I felt my toes merge until I only had 3 toes per foot the nails grew in to talons. Immediately after that I felt some pops in legs, as they became digitigrade. The shift made me glad that I now had scales and scutes because, it caused me to loose may balance and fall onto my chest. Right after that I felt a pressure at the base of my spine which meant I was now growing a tail. I felt more scutes cover the underside of it. Then I felt 2 new limbs grow from my shoulders. The digits of these new limbs grew really long and I felt a membrane growing between them. I realized that these were my wings; at the same time I felt 2 fins grow on my tail near the base and 2 more grow near the tip. Next I felt my mouth elongate into a muzzle and felt new my pointy teeth replace my human ones. I felt my tongue grow longer and the tip fork. I felt my ears become pointed and 2 Sharp pains on the back of my head told me that I now had horns. My eyes started to feel like they were burning so I shut them. Moments later I felt what I guessed were frills grow along the length of my spine. After that I had a weird feeling in my chest like my insides were getting overhauled. Finally my mind felt like it was transferred from an emulator to its native hardware and that a bunch of disabled drivers were enabled.
I just lay there for a moment, thinking about what I would say to Harvey to prove that I kept my mind. I heard him call my name and ask if I could hear him. I opened my eye and looked at him. It looked like he was keeping himself some distance from me.
"Yes I hear you, and why are you standing there looking so nervous it's me Wattojawa." I replied.
"How do I know it's still you in there?" he asked.
"My birthday is March 1st 1988, my parents have 6 cats, I collect vintage ceiling fans, my first car was a dark green 1996 dodge grand caravan which and an engine failure in 2008, so I replaced in with The Sandcrawler and you came up with that name." I replied then asked, "Do you need more proof?"
"As soon as you mentioned ceiling fans I knew it was you." he replied.
"Glad you're satisfied now how do I look?" I asked.
"You look like a dragon" he replied.
"Gee thanks I never would have realized that" I replied sarcastically.
"No really what do I look like?" I asked giving Harvey my best attempt at an un-amused Toothless face.
"I would say you look like a mix fo an Eastern Dragon and a Night Fury." he replied.
"What about my colors?" I continued.
"Copper scales. Cyan Wing-membranes, tail fins, horns, scutes, claws, and you have cyan frills running down your back." He answered.
"What about my eyes and hair?" I asked.
"Your eyes are cyan as well. Your still have dark brown hair, but it's longer. Also you have cyan whiskers. Do you think you can stand?" he said.
"I think I can." I replied.
I slowly stood up on all fours. I knew that I should be able to walk this way but I wanted to make sure I could still stand upright first. I used my hands or I guess now paws to push myself upward and transferred all my weight on to my legs. I had to use a digitigrade stance but my tail made balance easy. In fact I found it easier to keep balanced now than when I was human, not that it was hard to remain balanced as a human mind you. I carefully took a few steps and found that, even thought I had never walked this way before, it seemed natural to do so. I guessed I was about a foot taller than Harvey now.
