Bringing Light

Agony

-Luz-

The stitching of the glyph was slow work, Indigo watched Luz as she worked, they had their own little bit of fabric to practice on, simply so they could learn to do it, they kept their stitches small and neat but getting a perfect circle was not an easy task.

Luz herself was struggling to make the circle of the glyph perfect, stitching wasn't the same as just drawing, with drawing one simply used their elbow to create a circle as opposed to their wrist like most people tried doing, stitching had too many motions for that to work.

Eda strolled in with a bag of "human junk" setting it on the ground to look at the two focused teens.

"Whatcha workin on?" She asks, glancing down at the glyph made of what looked like smeared charcoal.

Luz looks up "We need to stitch this glyph into Indigo's cowl for it to work" she explains and shows Eda her progress.

"Hmm, your stitching needs work kid, gimme that" Eda says and takes it, sitting and beginning to rapidly stitch a perfect circle into the fabric, easily getting it right first time, looking at the glyph, she took more time to slowly get each line perfect,

Indigo and Luz just watch as Eda perfectly copies the glyph on the inside of the cowls hood, both their eyes shine at the perfection of it once Eda was finished

"Thanks Eda! I didn't know you could stitch so good!" Luz says with glee.

"Hah, I'm a master at stitching, as well as knitting and sewing, I had to be to keep my clothes good, do you know what those penny pinchers charge to repair stuff in town?! It's a rip off!" Eda hands Indigo the cowl as she rants to Luz about the repair shops reidiculous pricing for a complete repair of a dress she ripped once.

Indigo puts the cowl over their head, nothing happened right away, though as it was in the hood, they assumed the effect would happen once they put that on, moving to slide the hood over their head carefully.

The sensation of fluffiness overcame Indigo in an instant, when they withdrew their arms, they found them covered in purple fur!, their fingers also ended in sharply tipped claws which they could flex in and out, their arms appeared slightly bigger and possibly stronger than before.

The two beside Indigo had ceased talking and when Indigo looked over, both were staring at them, slack jawed, their emotions shifted from shock to confusion and in Luz's case, pure glee.

"OH MY GOSH! YOU'RE SO FLUFFY!" Luz yells and pounces at them.

Indigo knows Luz's intent and does not move as they get pulled into a tight hug, it's at this moment they realise their head has also changed, their ears were more flexible, their face was covered completely in fur and their nose and mouth appeared to have changed in texture and shape as well.

Indigo used one of their hands to pat at their head, finding their cowl had disappeared, now replaced by almost a mane of fluff around their neck.

Something else caught their attention and they looked at their back to see a tail flicking from under their shirt, that was in fact new.

Indigo pauses in their assessment as Luz begins petting them ruthlessly, though they didn't mind the affection, they were a bit puzzled by what had just happened.

"Well well well that is quite the powerful glyph!" Eda admires as she stands to have a look at Indigo

"You are in control of yourself right?" Eda asks and waves a hand in front of Indigo.

Indigo snorts a bit and pats Luz's head in return as the girl continues to pet her, Luz giggles and starts ruffling her ears.

"Yeh ah am" Indigo notices their voice had gone more growly and low, they soon realised why as they swiped their tongue over their lips, it felt weird.
