As soon as Ryan touched the medallions a surge of power flowed through him. His body started sprouting fur, although it felt more like feathers above his chest. Then his nose and mouth formed into a large beak, causing him discomfort. His hands turned into eagle claws and his shoes were ripped apart by his now huge footpaws. Finally a pair of wings sprouted from his back, ripping his shirt in two.
Ryan glanced in the nearby mirror and saw that he had become a large griffin! He even had a pair of furry pointed ears. Ripping off the rest of his clothes, he decided to find the others.
