[Lucky for Darin, Hawk is paying more attention to the dragon than him now. So Darin's attack is wildly successful. Not only does it render Hawk unconscious and effectively stop him that way, but even if it hadn't it also disables him from further attack even if he could wake up quickly. It's a good thing he got knocked right out before his ability to feel pain came back because this would have hurt like hell. The aura around him vanishes, though with his eyes closed now it can't be seen that his eyes also shift back. Because the sheer force of that results in Hawk ending up with multiple broken bones. While not immediately visible, there's going to be a ton of internal bleeding. Luckily for Darin, Hawk's got a lot of stamina and durability so he's in bad shape but still alive and capable of being healed.
It takes a bit, but once Darin gets to safety he'll notice something else. While unconscious, Hawk can't keep up his Monstrum form and will shift back to human form. It takes a bit of time since he hadn't fully exhausted himself and was suddenly knocked out, but maybe about a minute later Hawk suddenly changes in appearance entirely. Now Darin is holding on to a man with purple hair and wearing more casual clothing that is rather low key compared to his flamboyant costume. Likely a shock since Hawk's been keeping quiet about one of his abilities being that he can change his appearance entirely, not just sprout wings. He's definitely been keeping more than a few secrets from the people he knows beyond that ability of his.]
