Ellana laughs and shakes her head no. "Tempting, but I don't think that's for me. The halla are our brothers and sisters, and our goddess of the halla, Ghilan'nain, was one of the People before she was saved by being turned into a halla, but I don't think I want to follow in her footsteps. Or hoofsteps. Not only would humans try to catch me for my hide and horns, but elves would try to bring me to their camp to keep me safe. Not the best form to take, for those reasons."

She pauses and moves to lean against the tree she'd previously landed in. "Something that has a strong attack. I want to be able to defend myself."
