Something Else

As he flew closer to the plume of smoke he had seen, he thought it unwise to land directly next to the camp or house. So he landed a few hundred meters out in the forest, where his landing was hidden from sight.

He thought about the wings disappearing, and his hands being normal, and they morphed back to normal.

'This is never going to become normal to me…' he thought, looking at his hands.

But he would have to disregard it for the time being.

At least he didn't feel too drained from flying or changing his morphology.

As he walked toward the plume of smoke, he asked Geminae in his head, 'Why don't I feel exhausted from all those changes? Or the time spent flying? Shouldn't this use up a massive amount of mana?'

Geminae took a moment before answering his question.

'Remember how I said we were now part of your body? Well… This is what I meant…'

Alex halted, his brows furrowing.
