Raven frowned as he went over some of the test he had done, personally by himself. Despite how he like to act, he did notice the way he was changing, mentally and physically.
Physically, in his true form, he looked much more different. He already had sharp claws, unnatural shaped eyes, wings and a tail, though those could be reflected off as his battle forms so he didn't fully count them.
Now though, he had gone even further unnatural. Futthur inhuman. His hands had turned dark at the ends of his fingers. His ears already pointed became sharp like knives. His eyes gaining a dark glow to them. A set of black horns pointing forward, not Draconic, but having elements of it's composition. His white hair had gained an unnatural beauty to its form. Seemingly moving just slightly constantly.
He didn't hate it, but the test showed that his humanity was losing the battle for dominion over his physical makeup. The results showed he was only about 42% human. 58% something else.
Mentally though, he had noticed the changes in him. He was starting to lose signs of his humanity. Not caring as much about things and people. If it wasn't his own interest, it didn't matter to him.
He hated it, but he couldn't fight it, and he didn't know what to do. He didn't want to just suppress it like he always did till it blew up on-
His thoughts were paused as he got hit with a massive headache and fell to the floor and lost consciousness. His eyes seemed to glow momentarily in the darkness of the room he was in.

Morgan Le Fay paused as she held the gathered sticks for her camp fire in her hands. She felt the pull on her soul, she hated she couldn't follow it, her baby needed her now, but she wasn't there.
He was undergoing his metamorphosis and didn't understand anything probably. Who knew if he was taking care of himself properly to handle it. What if he wasn't prepared for the side effects. What if it pushed him to far.
A fae undergoes metamorphosis when they are of great strength, she worried that her baby already only 16 in human years was undergoing it.
She was so proud of him, but oh so worried for just why he was doing it so young. What pushed him to be so strong so young?
Was he in such an unfavorable environment he was forced to grow?
With abandonment she tossed everything she held in hand and opened a portal, she didn't need rest, she needed to find him now.

Raven groaned as he pushed himself up and wondered why he was laying on the floor, the last thing he remembered was looking at the results of his dna test.
"Whatever." He mumbled with a smile as he shifted back to looking human and stretched, there was supposed to be some kind of dueling club happening soon in the great hall, and he was interested in seeing how it went.
He was never one to turn away violence after all. It made him all tingly all over.
•~~~~•
Raven watched in annoyance as Lockhart ranted about his fake accomplishments. Oh how he would love to put the pathetic fool in his place. To teach him his place beneath his boot.
"Welcome everyone to the dueling club. Here we will be teaching you all how to duel properly. Of course as your defense against the dark arts teacher, I will be leading these lessons. Today I have with me Professor Snape, our dear potions teacher. He will be assisting me in showcasing a proper duel." Lockhart said and Raven felt a sadistic smile form on his face.
He didn't interact with the potions teacher much, besides when he asked questions about mixing a couple pieces of potion materials in certain ways, but the man's magic was strong for a wizard, controlled and dark, ready to attack, but always controlled. Not to mention the fowl magic lingering on the man's arm.
"Now, to begin we will stand back to back, we will walk 15 paces apart and stand ready in our chosen stance." Lockhart said as he spun around like the flop he was, Professor Snape just turned himself slightly in a proper stance.
"An now we will start off, but don't worry, you'll still have your potions master when I'm through with him." Lockhart arrogantly said. "Now let us begin." Lockhart declared and immediately Professor Snape spoke.
"Expelliarmus!" Professor Snape declared with a bit more enthusiasm then he usually showed and fired off the spell at Lockhart who was hit and sent flying across the dueling strip and landed on his back with a hard thump.
Oh did this make Raven and many people in the audience feel pleased.
"Do you think he's alright?" Someone asked, and he heard the brother of the twins speak "Who cares!" He for once agreed with him. Raven was very much in agreement, who cares!
"An excellent idea to show them that Professor Snape, but if you don't mind me saying, it was pretty obvious what you were about to do. An if I had wanted to stop you, it would have been only to easy." Lockhart declared as he got up with a hidden groan that Raven could hear.
"Perhaps, it would be prudent to teach the students to block unfriendly spells first." Professor Snape declared with a drawl and almost smile.
"An excellent suggestion Professor Snape, now, why don't I get a volunteer for this." Lockhart declared and looked around the room, before his eyes eventually fell onto Raven.
"Mr. Inanis would you be willing to assist me in this delightful endeavor? I hope you are feeling better now since last time I called on you." Lockhart asked and Raven let a small growl out that had the people around him shuffle away, the fear of Raven Inanis was well known by all students in the castle.
The sheer terror and chaos he could bring in mere moments was well known by everyone, except for Lockhart apparently.
Raven let a wide smile form on his face as he easily hoped onto the dueling strip with ease and approached Lockhart.
"Why of course not Professor, I'd be remiss to avoid this." Raven answered as he got there.
"Good man, good man. Now of course Professor Snape shall be-" Professor Snape interrupted Lockhart.
"There will be no need, Mr. Inanis is quite a prodigal student, I'm sure he won't need help." Snape declared with a certain tone a few could pinpoint, but Raven knew he just wanted a good view as he walked off the strip. His cloak billowing.
"Of course. Now, first a small bow, and then we shall turn back to back and walk fiftneen paces and assume our stance." Lockhart declared as he did the small bow, Raven merely barley moved his head as he would never bow to such a man.
"Now before we begin, let me show you all the basic defense spell for beginners, protego." Lockhart declared as he formed a shield in front of himself, but Raven could see at a glance how flimsy it was.
"Protego will block magic and physical attacks, however it can not block the unforgivables." Lockhart declared and Raven huffed quietly in his head, can the poof speed this up already.
"I will be on the defensive while Mr. Inanis attacks me. Whenever you are ready Mr. Inanis, give it all you got." Lockhart declared and every single person in that room prepared to cover a dead body up.
Raven let a feral smile show on his face for a mere moment before he suppressed it.
"If you're so sure Professor~" His mocking tone called out before he pointed his wand forward and in a mere moment thought about what to do.
"Good luck~" He said in a sing song like tone before multiple spells fired out his wand, the first breaking the shield like it was papermache meeting bullets fired from a minigun.
The second spell launched Lockhart into the air, the third turned him completely pink. The fourth gave him bunny ears and tail. The fifth slammed him back down into the ground. The sixth gave him abnormally long buck teeth where they reached his chest. The seventh turned his teeth green. The eighth made him gain bunny hands and feet. The ninth made a runic word appear on his forehead that translated into liar. The tenth made his body feel like jelly.
"Well done Mr. Inanis, though perhaps next time you'll merely stick to one spell at a time for everyone to watch a duel, not ten in a mere moment." Professor Snape said with a drawl as he made his way onto the strip, carefully stepping over Lockhart to ensure he didn't touch him in anyway, even lifting his cloak slightly.
"Of course Professor, I only did as I was asked." Raven replied innocently, and of course Snape knew that was a lie. The teen before him could have done so much worse with less.
"Do turn him back so he can teach Mr. Inanis." Professor Snape said with a drawl as he mentally reminded himself to add 50 points to Ravenclaw for "good spell casting" later tonight in private.
"Of course Professor." Raven replied as he waved his wand undoing everything. He heard a few awww's in the audience over him turning the poof back.

The rest of the dueling strip had been boring, besides the fearful glances Lockhart had sent him which made his day.
Rose and Malfoy had been called to Duel, and the brat had summoned a snake and Rose talked to it making everyone gasp and send her scared glances.
He heard whispers of her being the cause of opening the chamber of secrets, but he only rolled his eyes, his student didn't have that much time on her hands, and it would probably involve fire if she ever went over the line, not being petrified.
However that did give him enough curiosity to look up Salazar Slytherin in more detail.
After ten minutes of reading on the man, he had one conclusion.
Everyone was fucking idiots.
Salazar Slytherin wished to take children who awoke magic from their muggle parents, and for good reason. It was the fucking witch trials back then. If a child had magic they'd be put to death.
It was stupid and retarded.
The man may have hated muggles, but he had reason to hate them, and never did it explicitly state he hated all muggles, just the magic killing ones.
The man merely wanted to protect children, and Raven found himself sympathetic. Pushed out by his friends who had made their dreams real together for wanting to protect children.
Truly, they were fools back then and even now.
Another reminder of why Raven Inanis hated humanity at times.
