The skies finally returned to normal. The Qi, however, was not. It was still collecting into the Sands of Tribulation to the point it became visible to all!
At the heart of it was a prone figure with no clothes on but he was different. His well chiseled body exuded a level of power even unconscious that distorted even the storm of Qi.
An emerald glow began to spread over his tanned limbs as his now purely emerald hair flew wildly in the wind.
His face was still recognizable but it had changed to a far more fierce look that anyone familiar with Ethry would recognize.
Lind had shed the last of his humanity physically and was now a dragon in human form.
His eyes snapped open but there was no consciousness in them, only emerald light!
He slowly stood up as the storm of Qi seemed to dance in excitement. The sun in the sky also seemed to become brighter but only over Lind.
