It's nice to meet you Celena. What branch of the supernatural are you? And call me Mercy. I think the only time people call me Mercedes is when I've done something stupid, dangerous, or both. And I don't mind questions though I keep the right to withhold an answer, should I deep the question too deep.
First off, I'm not surprised that you've never met a skin walker before. From what I hear, the vampires took great lengths to try and eradicate any and all they could find. I haven't ever met another skin walker myself. As for shifting to coyote, there's nothing really to describe. The magic that I have for the shift is instantaneous. One moment I'm on two legs, the next I'm on four. The world through the sights, sounds, smells, and perspective of a coyote is amazing, and words can't describe how much I love having the ability. It means more to me that anything else in this world, and not just because it's pretty much the only thing I inherited from my father. Despite how the humans view the supernatural community, I'd never trade my gift for anything. I feel it's a gift, and I use and cherish the ability everyday.
