7-9. Tiny But Fierce
Elijah certainly didn’t recognize his reflection in the mirror, which was probably understandable, given that it was an entirely new form. If he was forced to come up with a comparison, he would have likened it to a salamander, though one that walked on two feet and featured a pair of crests starting above his eyes, extending down his back and to his tail. The impression of the shape’s amphibious nature was also supported by the presence of moist skin as opposed to scales.
It was only after he saw the coloring – predominantly deep red, with black highlights – that he realized where he’d seen something similar. It had been a while since he’d experienced his vision of the first dragon, but the memory was still fresh in his mind. There was no chance he’d ever forget it – especially the last bit, when he’d gotten a glimpse of the creature he’d inhabited. There were differences, of course, but he could recognize a common ancestry with the ancestral fire salamander.
Most troubling, though, was that the form was no more than four-feet tall, which left Elijah feeling incredibly vulnerable. To assuage some of those feelings, he glanced at his status:
