Hunter laid against a jagged rock and stared into the shallow waters a few centimetres away from his position; He softly brushed his hand against the warm water, it was always so comfortable in this cavern; the moonlight shone onto the water and pierced Hunter's eyesight for a moment.
He pulled back a loose strand of hair back to a spot behind his ear, but was surprised when he felt a feather and scales sprouting from the blotch of skin; he maneuvered himself closer to the ravine and looked down at his reflection, feathers and scales were littered everywhere and small white fluff was patted sharply by his ears and on top of their head.
He felt a sick feeling absorb into his gut as they studied the scales and feathers; he closed his eyes promptly to try and rid of the 'illusion' but it didn't disappear, as he brushed the feathers again they assured themselves it was most likely just the fairly common feather fever.
So he sat there, for hours, waiting for the ailment to pass as quickly as the feather fever is supposed to; instead the feathers sprouted everywhere across his body, white fluff grew in their inner earlobe and tufts sprouted from their undercut.
"ARGH" He cried, kicking a jagged pebble into the ravine's depth
He tightly grasped the tufts and shifted so they could see their reflection; thats when he realized he had 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘄𝘀.
He screamed violently and stood up; black encased the corners of his eyes as they backed up against a wall; rabbit ears replaced his normal witch ears and serrated wings sprouted through their backbones.
They collapsed onto the ground and began to shriek violently, until, everything went dark.

Eda rushed into the cavern with glyph's clenched between her talons; Luz, Amity and Lilith trailing close behind, that's when she saw it. A cursed creature, standing beside an all too familiar golden mask; before she had time to comprehend the situation the creature lunged at her.
She rolled to the side as Luz used a plant glyph to trap the were-creature in sharp vines; Eda cautiously approached it and pulled out an elixir.
"Boots, do you think you can block the entrance with you're abomination stuff?" Eda sibilated
She nodded her head and murmured an 'abomination rise' as the entrance was blocked by a tall abomination; Eda turned her attention back to the creature and chugged a few bottles of elixir down it's throat.
The creature morphed back into the same snotty brat they saw at Eclipse Lake, He staggered confusedly on his feet and muttered a quick "what?"
He fainted instantly, Eda assumed from high blood-pressure or light headedness; she scooped the teenager into her talons and called out to Owlbert, "Take The kids and Lily back to the owl house, I'm coming."
As she flew across the boiling isles an already looming thought encased her mind entirely, who would have the gut to curse Belo's right hand, and why?
