The glow of the ring on your new foreclaw grows stronger, and the scales near it begin to turn as white as snow. The new color spreads up your claw, and to your arm. As it passes your wrist (is that still what it would be called now that you’re a quadruped?), an even brighter light flashes. You close your eyes for a moment, opening them once you’ve looked away to give your eyes some time to adjust. Looking down at your wrist again, you can see that a ring of golden light has appeared around it, floating without touching your scaly skin, or the ground.
You reach with your other claw to touch it, and it seems to pass through, though it shines even brighter as it does, before resuming a more manageable level of radiance. By this point, white scales have already reached your shoulders, and are spreading in every direction from there. When they reach your Scutes, your chest plates change color as well, going from turquoise to a gleaming golden color.
The long “fingers” of your bat-like wings join together, as the membrane begins to recede. The scales on your wings vanish, as hundreds of feathers, the same pure white as your scales, cover the surface of the skin on your wings instead. Were you not cramped in your human-sized house, you would have spread them to get a better look at them, but you’re stuck with them at your sides, for now.
You crane your longer neck around as best you can, and see that your body is almost entirely covered in white scales right now. More rings of golden light have formed around each of your legs at the ankles, and each of your claws has turned the same golden color as your scutes. Your tail, too, has turned white, and has a golden ring wrapped around it a foot away from its tip, as well.
You feel your horns bending, curving at a new angle. Each one forms a circular arch as it turns golden. They rise and bend, until the tips point at each other, almost forming a circle.
Then something you definitely didn’t expect happens: your house starts to look larger. At first, you worry that this might be one of the “random” effects of the defective ring causing you to shrink, but as you peek out the windows of your basement, you see that neighbors, the trees, and other houses look about the same size as before. (Well, relative to your increased size.) It seems your house is actually growing, and as you look around that doesn’t seem to be the only thing about it that’s changing. Walking up your now much wider stairs, you see that the upper rooms of your home are not only much more suited to your size, but that several pieces of furniture around the house are now built with a massive quadruped in mind. Several rooms have decorative crosses hanging from the wall, photos that had included you now depict you as a dragon like you are now, and a bookshelf now not only has books in English, but several volumes with their titles written in a language you’ve never seen. Yet despite this, you can still read them!
Looking in your bathroom (whose shower and toilet have been redesigned with your new size and posture in mind,) you can see text in a similar script has been written on your forehead in blue, reading “Fear not.”
You go back to your living room, and look at the front door hesitantly. You has wished that human would see you “as a normal resident and citizen just like them.” Given it almost looks like reality itself has changed, you wonder if that was the way the ring granted the wish. Curiosity getting the better of you, you decide to take the risk, and open your front door (your front claws dexterous enough to move a doorknob) and step outside.
You see one of your neighbors walking in front of your house. You wave one of your front claws at him and say “good afternoon,” in your new, deep voice.
The man says “afternoon,” back to you, and continues walking his dog, neither of them reacting as if anything odd was going on. It seems the ring really did grant every part of your wish letter and spirit, if not in the way you’d expected.
