Ronan swept his gaze over the bottomless pit. Even at night, his current lizard vision revealed a dazzling world vastly different from what human eyes saw, though it also curled and gathered inward in distorted shapes from every direction.
This lizard could observe both ahead of and behind its body at once, searching for food and detecting danger.
