23 days / Transformation

[Quest: Trial of Life]

[23 Days Remaining]

Debs voice filtered through my tired brain as my eyes opened automatically. It looked like this time I had beaten Shadow awake. Gazing down at him sleeping while wrapped around me I couldn't help but think about the what if factor of me being bigger than him from lasts nights conversation.

I turned inward and recalled how I first transformed during the body cleansing ceremony. ' i think I had to pour my mana into the beast baby to make it grow? ' The answer sounded plausible enough so I did just that. The beasts eyes opened and I was met again with the beautiful witness as pure as snow. There was no pupil, no inner circle the whole eye was just white like that one ninja girl chracter from that one anime from Earth.

The beast grew upwards and outwards like it had the first time,but this time the pain was bearable. It felt like my body was being engulfed by a warm hug as my other form took over. I could feel myself getting bigger, it woke Shadow up because he yips in surprise before scooting back and letting my beast form expand and lengthen.

[Congratulations you've completed your transformation.]

[New title has been given]

[Warning : several gods are watching you]

[Warning: The God of Beasts ?????? has taken a new interest in you due to your beast form.]

Debs voice rang through my head however I only paid half attention to her because of what Shadow had done when I transformed.

Chuckling at Shadows cute yip I realized my laughter came out as a sort of hissing cough but was low and not intimidating at all. Clearing my throat I tested to see if I could talk too.

"Sorry if I surprised you guys."

'I was talking? So there was no difference at all from my human form. '

Shadow was looking at me with his head tilted to the side then he came over and booped my nose with his. Looking me in the eyes his laughter starts to sound in my head.

"Well little mate you sure did surprise me with that transformation. However we are not the same height. "

'Wait what? How is that your looking me right in the eyes aren't you?' I asked confused.

His eyes all of a sudden shoot upwards a good three feet higher from where I was currently standing. Looking down at me he smirks and winks. All the while laughing through our link.

Our antics had woken the others, Raji whistled was he walked up to me followed closely by Layla and Mimi.

"Dang Tabrizia you learned how to do that already? Can you teach me? I'm sure if we can also transform we will be able to help fight better." Layla and Mimi nodded agreeing with him while looking up at me with shinning eyes.

"Um yea sure, I just figured it out last night myself. I'm sure if we had all known ~" Here I paused. It didn't need to be said, we all knew. If everyone had known how to transform a lot more of us would be alive. "I just need to figure out how to transform back though and then I'll help you guys." I finished instead.

'Okay focus inwards that's what I did the first time.' I internally muttered to myself as I foced inwards to the point in my belly where my beast form had been. What I saw there shocked me.

I saw myself, but as a baby hellcat! What in the actual...I couldn't process this. Surrounding my baby hellcat self was a round ball of blue and silver mana. Reaching out I poured my mana into it and watched in fascination as my hellcat baby self started to age and grow. I felt a sort of sucking sensation as if I was being vacuumed inwards and saw red and purple mana being drawn into my now adult hellcat body that was expanding upwards and outwards.

I felt myself shrink and the next moment I was me again, but I felt odd. I felt more, breezy? Why did I feel like something was missing?Looking down I saw that I was naked as the day I was born.

'Omg, no... please kill me!'
