The Shadow was muttering to himself, determined to learn to have a "human" form. He had carved further into his cave and began to experiment with magicks. The first one was painful and he had to wait a day before he could try again, having been blasted with lightning. The next one, using a runic base, had turned him into a wolf instead, and after a howl, he reversed it. The dragon was ticked, and he kept going. After about 30 tries (and a lot of fire and lightning), he finally got what he wanted. Using a ring, he managed to create a shockingly handsome form, with solid black hair that covered one of his eyes, a well muscled body, and to top it off, his face as perfect. Even his griffin-scar was hidden, and he was pleased with that. He was garbed in black leather armor, embroidered with gold, and he added a sword to complete the look. He had to dig through his trove to find it, but it presented a striking presence. He laughed and realized his eyes were still red, so he fiddled with the magic a little and turned them a deep sapphire blue. "Shame... it won't hold while I'm angry... but it will do..." he said, his voice still the deep growl it was in his draconic form. Sighing, he began practicing his voice, to find one that worked for his new look. "I'd bet that even Valerie will be fooled... She'll be mooning after this form for a long time to come... I'm sure of it..." he said, using his new melodious voice that he chose for this hunter's form. He had to dig through his trove again before finding a bow and a quiver, and he was glad it was filled with arrows. "Good thing I studied fighting styles... time to work on them..." he laughed and spent the next two weeks practicing, an he soon mastered the art of sword-fighting (after getting a book from the market) as well as how to fire a bow straight. "Now... no woman, dragon or otherwise, will be able to resist me... maybe that griffin will be of use after all..." he said, before adding, "and why am I talking to myself so much...?"
