James knew he needed a shower, but he really wanted to try the amulet on right that moment. Decided to compromise, he put the amulet back into its cloth for the moment and pulled out some clothes. He decided to try some basic color coordination that Danielle had taught him with his new accessory and pulled from his darker colored items so the ruby red will pop.

It took a minute, but soon he was 7'6'' with patches of his human skin flaking off revealing purple scales. Noticing that his head was outside of the water's spray, he looked down at his changing body and...
