"You're not human?" They both repeated at the same time.
"I'm not sure either but the system says I am a Void in my humanoid form. I'm sure that means I have an inhuman form too." Salem said, feeling as intrigued as they looked about finding out what a Void was. "We can see what it is after we finish our bath."
"I look forward to it." Ruby said.
"I as well." Alina agreed.
"I'm not sure it will be pretty." Salem warned.
"We know." Alina said.
"We..At least *I* look forward to seeing another side to you."
When they got out of the bath, Salem recycled the stones and offered to make them clothing. "The clothing I make is durable, won't soil, and can double as armour." Salem said, both wanting to avoid having to acquire new clothes for Ruby, and wanting to not stink like death.
Ruby was the first to agree.
"What style do you want?" Salem asked her, realizing he didn't really check out the styles of locals so he will avoid standing out more.
"I want a kimono!" Ruby said excitedly.
Salem told her to hold still and watched as his nanobots quickly concealed her curves beneath a deep green kimono.
Alina asked for a deep red kimono, but she wanted to put it on herself.
Shrugging, he made it in mid-air and when it was completed, it dropped into Alina's waiting hands. Salem made a black dress suit for himself. He had always liked the look of suits and he couldn't think of a reason why he couldn't wear a suit in the wilderness.
"What is that?" Alina asked him as she slipped into the kimono.
"It's a suit." Salem replied. "It's an outfit from my homeworld that is used as formal wear."
"If it's formal, why are you wearing it in the wilderness?" Ruby asked.
"I have never been able to wear one before and I always liked how they look." He paused. "Why am I putting this on when I'm going to check out my race transformation?"
"He's the smartest idiot I've ever met." Salem heard Alina whisper to Ruby.
"I know and he's so cute" Ruby responded similarly whispering.
Salem recycled the suit and wondered how he should initiate his transformation.

Your race transformation is influenced by your wants and desires. Your first race transformation will be your permanent transformation.
To transform, simply imagine yourself transforming.

"The system says that my form is not set until I first transform." Salem said, wondering what he'd get.
"I can't wait to see!" Ruby said.
Salem initiated the transformation. He felt his nerves burn with pain as his perspective shifted. Through the pain, he watched his point of view shift upward and his hands change into pitch-black, scaled feet. Salem shouted out in pain, but it came out as a roar.
Alina and Ruby both looked up in shock as they watched Salem turn into a massive, pitch-black dragon.
Ruby nudged Alina. "We sure know how to pick them, huh?"
