An electrical storm was coming. Something Tycho had been waiting for. He didn't think it would last long so he had to make the most of it. He had done everything required of him. He had even needed to repeat some steps because of something going wrong. The factors were perfect tonight, though.

He had performed the required spell every dawn and dusk for several days straight. He felt like he had been doing it forever. It had also been quite the task to wake up at dawn every day. Hearing the second heartbeat after some time of this had been a little alarming at first, he had to admit.

The first of the lightning flashed and he took out the crystal phial which was now filled with a blood red potion. Amato animo animato animagus," he cast before downing the potion. A fiery pain ripped through his body and he felt the feeling of a double heartbeat which was rather intense. A vision of a raven flashed through his mind.

This was terrifying and painful, he had to admit but Tycho managed to stay focused on his task. He had transformed into a raven, he realized as he hopped himself in front of his mirror. A raven with green eyes and some markings on his plumage that matched the amulet necklace that he always wore. Oh, this was so neat! Flapping up to his open window, he oddly sensed that he could find Ford's home this way so he flew out of it.
