#sphinxzan

Zander sighed loudly as he trotted through the small back streets. He knew it would probably be okay if he went into the main part of town like this, but he didn't want to chance it. He was more than okay with staying on the outskirts and in the forest. Besides, Zan was still getting used to his new form. 

Silently, he padded along the small dusty road, tail waving around as he walked. There was no specific destination in mind, he simply wanted to get more used to being in a less feral environment, allowing himself to fully adjust to his smaller stature. Eventually, he found a small clear pool and settled down to look at himself. This was one of the first comfortable glances he actually got of himself since he had been transformed into a sphinx. He cocked his head. 

"Hmm...." His lionesque ears twitched slightly as he looked at his reflection. He was significantly smaller than his original 5'7'' height, but that didn't weird him out at all now. There was nothing wrong with his reddish fur, his obviously catlike body, His large striped wings. Long tail and larger eyes. In all honesty, Zander thought it was pretty cool. He enjoyed not being human now. The only thing he regretted was the tragedy his transformation brought. He closed his eyes and lay down, remembering. Remembering the people he loved and watched die. So many.

Zan opened his eyes, looking down into the water again. For a moment, it almost looked like he could see the reflections of his loved ones there as well.
