(I was going to save the transformation for battle but that didn't happen, so I guess we're doing it this way)
She felt something as she tried to stifle those feelings. Some sort of jewel? It seemed to heal her injuries, but she could barely pay attention to it through the pain. It keeps getting worse and worse and she doesn't understand why. It's like it's building, inside her, ready to burst.
"Feel like...about to, explode." she manages to get through her own pain. She felt him hug her close, and if she wasn't like this, she would embrace back and enjoy the feeling, but she was finally able to understand her feeling. Understand this emotion.
"Please...GET BACK!"
Pushing him away, she felt her body heat up to an incredible amount, and it started to glow brightly, as she finally found her release. When the light had faded, what was left was no longer Leanne, but instead her true form: a massive Heron, as large as at least 3 men, with bright white feathers the same color as her wings and many streaming tails.
It let out a screech, and at the same time, Tobias could feel a scream race through his mind in Leanne's voice, as if speaking directly into his mind.
"I MUST...GO!"
With a massive gust of wind, Leanne propelled herself off of the ground and incredibly high into the sky, intent on expending all of this pent up energy.
