I write kinda fairy-tale, and there are two people who turned into other beings. When they begin to change into human form, I wrote that one sentence:

"In their stony bodies it/there started to grow arms (... so Kim could finally hug her own sister...)" - is it understandable that I mean that they are still in form of the other beings, but they begin to change into human (at that moment) starting with their arms? If no, how else could I write it or how can I get to know (about) how to write it in more slick way? And I don't know what I can put instead of "it" or "there", if that "it" or "there" would be incorrect.

  • Without context, it's unclear what "it" refers to in your proposed sentence. Is there some entity inside them that is not part of them that is growing arms?

    'Their stony bodies started to grow arms'. You can speak of a being 'growing' an appendage, as in 'The deer grows antlers'. Jan 9, 2021 at 9:35
