Doubt
[Ephemeral Tapestry].
[Beyond Perfect Body].
Ryu's body shook slightly and blinding light began to swarm beneath his skin. His veins gave off a bright rainbow-like color that was quickly overwhelmed by gold, black, and an icy blue. These colors came together in a beautiful array, forming a map of complex runes and tattoos across Ryu's body before it suddenly solidified.
At that moment, there was a resonance between Ryu and the world around him. When he suddenly opened his eyes, there was a bright flash and deep within them, it was possible to see the roaring forms of his Bloodline Birthed Phenomena, as though they were souls trapped within his Inner World.
Though trapped as they were, they didn't seem to be fighting it. Instead, they were displaying their majesty, their shadows growing in size and then fusing into Ryu's body.
Scales danced into being across Ryu's body, his claws growing from his hands and a trembling power exuding from his frame.
