I was nervous and slightly unsure, but with a roar, he shifted, and the beast he became was something I would never forget.

Asgard loomed below us with dimly lit twinkling lights from the homes where people still lay awake. It was beautiful, and with the wind rushing through my hair and against my skin, I felt free.
