This was… unexpected. Chronoa had transformed before your very eyes, shedding her usual diminutive, quirky form for something entirely new—and frankly, a bit intimidating. She now stood tall, easily towering over you, her figure statuesque and radiating a commanding, almost celestial aura. Her flowing hair shimmered faintly, cascading down her back in silken waves, and the ornate halo of golden light resembling a clock hovered behind her, its ticking hands adding a faint, rhythmic hum to the atmosphere. The intricate white and yellow robes she now wore shifted gracefully as though time itself bent to her movements.

For a moment, you couldn’t help but stare, utterly struck by the transformation. Chronoa’s usual playful charm had been replaced by a regal, commanding presence, though the familiar spark in her eyes betrayed a trace of the person you knew.

She stiffened under your wide-eyed gaze, her cheeks flushing just slightly—a subtle, pink hue that contrasted her divine radiance. "What? You didn’t know I could do this?" she asked sharply, though her tone carried a tinge of awkwardness, as if she wasn’t entirely comfortable being seen like this.

You simply shook your head, still too caught off guard to form a coherent reply.

Chronoa crossed her arms, her expression a mix of annoyance and embarrassment. "Well, stop staring, okay! I’m not some… some art exhibit!" she huffed, turning her face slightly to avoid your gaze. The action betrayed her usual fiery personality, grounding her imposing new form with a touch of her familiar sass.

The moment stretched uncomfortably long, her tall figure casting a faint shadow over you. She shifted her weight to one side, glancing back at you out of the corner of her eye. “Seriously, it’s not that big a deal,” *she muttered, though her voice carried an unusual softness, as though she was testing the waters of your reaction. *
