((OOC: Rolled 'nother 3, Eth now has 3 HP))
Rikk gasped a bit in pain as the shadow blade impaled his shoulder. As he took the hit, the world went fuzzy, and anger began to boil deep in his veins. What had been a cry of pain transformed into a howl of anger.
As the echo's of Rikk's unearthly scream faded, his back suddenly bulged, and wings burst out of it. His head snapped back as his neck stretched a bit, and his jaw thrust forward and formed a proper snout. A moment later he fell down onto all fours, his limbs now having claws on their ends, rather than hands and feet. The transformation was accompanied by another earth shattering howl, and Ethra was knocked back several feet by it.
Once she gathered her wits, however, she could easily pinpoint a few things: One, this dragon was only about eight feet long. While still deadly, it wasn't nearly as big as a normal dragon. Two, it's wings had far more joints than those of a typical dragon, indicating that it was probably a bit more nimble in the air than most. Three, it's skin was a liquid silvery color, indicating that it had some sort of pure mana powers, rather than raw elemental force. While this would limit it's abilities in other areas, it made it a deadly fighter...
