I Became the Spirit of Origin

After opening my eyes, what I saw were dazzling lights dancing in front of me. Their distant voices echoed all around me as joy could be felt from them. Still laying on an altar that is located in the middle of the forest, it took me a while to organize my thoughts.

Still confused, I started to focus my eyes on one of the lights dancing next to me. These lights were actually small humadoid creatures with fairy wings and colored hair flying around me. Just as my eyes met with theirs a sudden headache assaulted me. Information that shouldn't be my own poured into my head. As the pain slowly faded, all I could do is murmur to myself.

"Ah, yes... I'm a spirit now"

But what came from my throat wasn't my normal human voice, but instead a somewhat lovely voice of another girl. I couldn't feel more surprised.

While thinking 'I can't be...' I ran towards the nearest small puddle of water. The reflection in that water confirmed my suspicion. What I saw wasn't my original face, but the face of someone else. Long blond hair, aquamarine eyes and clean white skin on a perfectly symmetrical face were portraying the image of inhuman a beauty. The face in the reflection still had bit of a shocked expression that should have been on mine, not her face.

'I remember now that I died'

It was right then, when the surrounding lights flew past me and one small green haired girl stopped between me and the puddle.

"Lady Spirit?" with a worried look, she glanced at the puddle and then on me. Seeing me not replying, she continued "Are you all right lady Spirit?".

"Ah...yes" while forcing myself to reply, I showed her a fake smile. The eyes of the small girl sparked as she heard my reply.

"Lady Spirit! After hundred tousand years we are finally able to see you!" as she said that her own light became brighter while more and more lights started to show up.

Still confused I tried to rebuke her statement "I'm not Lady Spirit, my name is -" I tried to speak my name but for somehow I couldn't.

I couldn't remember my human name, the names of my mother and father or my friends. My head started to hurt again while I automaticly finished my sentence with a name "Eurena..." which was the name that got whispered into my ear. The voice that did so felt so nostalgic, like the voice of a mother you were longing to meet.

The surrounding lights started to get more noisy and joyful voices were heard all around me saying "Lady Eurena~" "Lady Spirit Eurena~" or "Name chosen by Goddess~".

While trying to recover from my headache, I started to feel some sort of weak connection with my surroundings. The plants, animals or even this joyful atmosphere started to get connected. I started to feel a sweet sensation, just like your favorite candy that you had when you were a child. It was the moment my face, voice and information I got started to merge with me.

Right "I'm Spirit of Origin Eurena".
