Focusing on the crackling of scales as they fell off Midnight's body, Onyx was somewhat shocked. He could be surprised by the fact that all that dense mana had suddenly calmed and been released in a pulse around him. But it was the fact that the odd form of shell that had been created by that mana had been absorbed and then dissipated allowing for him to see a version of Midnight he was unfamiliar with.
The cracked scales were falling off her body slowly revealing nearly perfectly polished black scales that flared with various colors of mana from breath to breath. Midnight hadn't truly grown much larger, in fact, she had slimmed down becoming more condensed and seemingly more agile.
However, as she opened her eyes and took deeper breaths, more scales fell revealing the perfectly in line scales all over her dragon body. Her tail appeared slimmer and sharper while her claws had a deadlier glint along them.
