After a run-in with a great cosmic being of overwhelming power, Cataena realized we would need a form we hadn't yet possessed in order to ascend to its realm and draw from the same font of energy. We discussed our options with one of her very old friends, and found the ritual required. It was not something to be taken lightly, but Maris stepped up and offered himself as the host. It caused him some pain, but we got to watch as the stars themselves seemed to fill his veins, his skin nearly transparent and swirling with cosmic energy. It crafted his very flesh and bones, shaping him into a wonderful feline being of unrivaled potential. We faced it head-on together, snarling in anticipation.
