Now no longer followed, the watcher made their way to and behind a building, and once they were sure no one was looking, grew a pair of wings from their back. Bending through their legs, the watcher leaped up, and flapped hard, sending some gravel flying off. Once in the air, the watcher flew low to the ground, having no trouble staying airborne despite how heavy they must weigh, and changed into a bird.
With how close the village was to the ocean, the watcher thought it would be best to take on the form of a gull, turning into a sooty gull. Though they had no idea if this species of bird could actually be found in the area, they considered it a better bet then other types.
After the short amount of time this transformation took, the watcher flew up higher, climbing until it was 150m/492ft above the ground, then circled the village.
