This chapter is just what I think is real, please don't be offended over this

As I think I stated before, I am not a shifter. You don't "shift" to grow wings. Shifting is when you change into a different form entirely.
I have said this before, in one of my journals (the first one I think), that I find it hard to believe that shifting is possible.
The idea of shifting is almost exactly like the idea of wings "bursting" from your back. Why I say this? Your, well, DNA I'm pretty sure, would have to change majorly in a matter of seconds. If that were even possible, the strain it would put on your body would kill you, no doubts about it.
It doesn't seem possible if you look at it that way.
But, there is a way. I think.
Change at first will happen very slowly, maybe even slower than wings. At first. Your body will have to completely change form, and that could take years. Oh, another thing. You can't magically shift into an animal, you will still be you, but with a different form. Everything will just change to fit the form you desire. For the fur, feathers, or scales, they are actually made out of the same thing that our hair and nails are made of. Keratin. Your body will completely change your DNA to fit that of your desired animal.

This will be a very slow process, probably starting with things like your eye colour changing, growing taller or shorter based on how big or small your animal is, your hair colour will change to the colour of your fur/scales/feathers, things like that. This is stage one, and will probably take about half a year to a year.

Stage two: your body shape will start to change to fit the form of the animal you want to shift into. Meaning your bones will shift places, or you will lose and gain new bones, things like that. I expect this will take maybe five years.

Stage three: once you have a form that is like the form of your animal, you will start to grow fur/feathers/scales. Maybe 1 year for this.

Again, this is just what I think will happen.

Now, you will stay in that form for however long you wish, until you wish to shift back. Then you will go through the same process all over again, but reversed.

Once you do this over and over again your body will probably get used to it and it'll be easier and quicker to shift

This is just a theory

Sorry if this was confusing lol
