Flocking Into Happiness (Mass Pterodactyl TF)

Every year the Pterodactyl people host an event of mass transformation at a number of their colonies. Attendees come from all kinds of backgrounds, species, and gender, and make the trip to the event to feel flight for the first time. Some of them are shapeshifters there to enjoy the shift again. As the people become pterodactyls they can feel the empathic connection that the species has with their own, spreading a sense of euphoria across the flock. Many of the transformees who come to the event will join the flock permanently, and each year they leave behind a cliffside covered in dust and the possessions of their past lives. It is both a practical and symbolic gesture. The jewelry, electronics, and treasure left behind is seen as only token appreciation by the transformed; for what can they give to the nest in thanks for a gift that is priceless?

This scene has been in the making for about a week and a half, but my soul has been undergoing preparation for decades, and I only raised my wings in the past two months.

I have written a journal entry on the spiritual inspiration of this scene, which can be accessed on DeviantArt below.
