Egas felt his entire body being numb and couldn’t move or feel anything else. After a time, that felt like and eternity however, he started to slowly get a feeling in his body parts again. He opened his eyes and saw something white hanging into his field of view. A bit slow because of the sensory overload he just had, he shrugged it of. Without taking a proper look at himself first, he sat up.

Huh, that’s weird. Why is that still in my field of view?

A bit confused, Egas used his hands to grab a chunk of those white, silky threads, and tried to yank them off of himself.

AH! Fuck! That hurts like shit.

Realizing something wasn’t right Egas took a proper look at himself. When he looked down on his body, Egas couldn’t comprehend what was going on for a while.

Is that... a tail? And what is that...

Where previously nothing but a bare, male chest was, there now was a bump, indicating the start of growth of breasts. As where there was his dick before, there now was a valley.

Shocked, Egas grabbed onto his chest and crotch and felt a weird twitching sensation.

Instantly, Egas pulled his(?) hands away again and ran over to a pond close by.

The pond had very clear water and in the reflection he saw an appearance that could make any teenage boy loose his mind.

A young girl with long, silver-white hair stood in that reflection. She had a face without any imperfections, large, friendly, eyes, which had a beautiful green to them, as if they were emeralds.

On top of her head there were very small things poking out of her forehead looking like small horns.

Her arms were slender and her hands didn’t seem to have any callouses.

Her body was slender but under the baggy top one could see the start of what can be called breasts. She had an hourglass like figure and looked like she would come out of the wet dream of any boy among the age of 12 and 18. All the clothing she wore did not fit her. the pants were only held up by the width of her hips, but the legs were too long. Her arms also vanished into the arms of the rags she were wearing. It looked a little like a kid wearing their older siblings clothes.

Egas let out a shrill scream.

“EEEEEEEH?!?”

Next she touched her mouth surprised about the voice that just came out of it.

Very confused and still believing to dream, Egas slowly sank to the ground.

In that moment *his* friend, Adam, showed up.

As Adam saw the girl and his friend was nowhere to be seen he gets closer.

After a few steps Adam could clearly see the details of a humanoid monster on the girl. Quickly, Adam took the scythe, he still had on him, because he wasn't home since he was helping at the harvest, into his hand.

It's a farming scythe but used correctly it could still be a deadly weapon.

Thinking Egas was killed by that girl, Adam rushed into the direction of the girl with a heart full of anger.

Egas tried to reason with Adam.

"Hey Adam, it's me, Egas!"

Adam, in a fit of rage didn't believe the creature in the slightest. Granted, it's weird that it that creature knew his name but it could just as well have known some kind of magic, that Adam didn't know of, that let that monster read Egas memories before killing him.

Egas, seeing that Adam looked extremely angry and not stopping on his dash towards her just started cowering in fear, knowing that this will probably be her end, as her strength wasn't comparable to that of Adam. Adam took a swing and hit Egas at her back.

*KLING*

The scythe made a sound as if it was hitting a sheet of metal. In the next moment it scattered and the blade of it flew a few meters behind Adam. Both Egas and Adam were in a state of shock. Adam started moving again first and grabbed Egas by the Hair.

"If I can't kill you here I will bring you to the lord to have him judge your sin."

Egas was now in even more of a state of panic. If she were brought to the lord in this form she would probably be tortured and turned into an obedient slave to please the young master.

"HNNG. Let go! I don't want to go there! I swear, I am Egas!"

Adam did not listen to Egas and draged her away. At least he would have, if he could.

To Adams surprise he just couldn't drag the girl away from that spot. Almost as if she was heavier than even a tree with its roots in the ground.

Egas, still panicking decided to bite Adams arm. The now sharp teeth easily went through the skin and hit the bone.

*Snap*

His arm was broken and looked like it was hanging on only single few strands of muscle and some nerves. Adam culled over in pain and held the hurt arm with his other hand.

Egas used his chance and with all the power he could muster ran away. Adam, now laying on the ground, heavily bleeding, yelled toward Egas:

"I WILL GET YOU. AND IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO!"

Quickly making her way through the flower field, full of lavender color flowers, in the direction of the forest behind that, Egas was shedding a tear. She didn't want to hurt Adam. Nonetheless she had to do it if she wouldn't want to end up a slave to Filian.

Once she reached the forest she started to slow down a bit due to the terrain. Egas climbed over thick roots just sprouting out of the ground and looking everywhere around her as wolves and bandits weren't uncommon around here.

While taking a look to the right, Egas stumbled over one of the roots sprouting out of the ground, and fell to the ground. But even after, or especially because of, her running away, her heart, and head, didn't calm down. So she wasn't standing up yet and first had to cope with the situation. She was laying there, crying, thinking to herself:

That was Egas first thought. She wanted to go to her father and ask him for help but she was too afraid, that her father too would try to do the same as Adam, so she decided against it.

The last Egas has seen Adam now was him almost bleeding out and yelled at her that he would kill her. So going to check out and help Adam was out of the question.

Deep down, Egas already knew that he would have to go on a travel for a long time. She still couldn't accept it. This was a world full of xenophobia and misogyny, so her chances of survival were slim. Though even death would be preferable to being brought before the landlord.

Appearently somebody has found Adam. Egas heard the noise of a lot of people searching for both her male, and her current form. As Egas wanted to stand up again and walk over she decided it would be better to be running away further. Even though it would have it's dangers, it was safer than running straight into the nobles arms.

Even now she was still feeling some numbness in her body.

What was that even? How did Adam not hurt me? He couldn't even drag me with him. With his strength that shouldn't be a problem. And that bite...

Egas was slowly touching her teeth. They felt sharper than before, but they couldn't hurt her. Interested in her biting strength she picked up a tree branch from the ground and bit on it lightly.

*KRAK*

The Branch was completely split apart.

EH?!? How ?!?

Hearing the voices and the steps getting closer to him, Egas quickly got up again and walked further into the direction of the deepest parts of the forest. The voices grew more silent the further into the deepest parts of the forest she went.

Her father always told her not to go into the forest if it's avoidable.

There were many dangerous monsters around these parts.

But on her entire way through the forest she didn't see any monsters. Not even animals. It's as if they were trying to run away from her. She came to a clearing in the forest and sat down. Nobody would go this deep into the forest anyways

She thought. She was trying to calm herself down and get a clear head.

*GRR*

Suddenly her stomach grumbled.

She hadn't eaten a lot today but enough for it to usually be enough untill the evening. Now the problem arose, that she doesn't know how to hunt and what berries were edible.

She saw a lonely rabbit jumping at the other end of the clearing and suddenly had some instinct flashing through herself.

She got up very quickly and straight up chased after the rabbit. The rabbit however was outrunning her by quite the margin. After five minutes of hunting the rabbit, she gave up and sat down again. Now with even more hunger.

She couldn't catch a rabbit no matter how hard she tried. They were simply too fast and she too inexperienced.

Due to her hunger and her not knowing how to hunt she started eating random berries and mushrooms. Even some treebark was consumed by her. It all didn't taste good but it's better than having an empty stomach while being hunted down. By the time her hunger has been satisfied she has eaten almost everything remotely edible in the clearing. The trees around didn't have a bark anymore. The berry bushes were completely empty - some even left without leaves. And no mushrooms left.

Though one couldn't call it satisfying the hunger. There still was plenty of space in her stomach, however she didn't have much appetite after the contents of her meal.

She decided to lay down and catch some sleep while she got a peaceful place. In order for that to happen she searched for a place closeby and looked for a hiding spot where neither predatorial animals, monsters nor humans could find her.

That she found. There was a very large tree closeby which had a trunk double the width of Egas. She was slowly trying to climb her way up the tree and found a thick branch, sturdy enough to hold her. At least she thought that. How heavy could she be in this form, right? Right after taking a step on the branch it made a loud noise and suddenly both the branch and Egas were falling down. Instinctively the wings, she hadn't realized they exist yet, began to flap but it was too little. It wasn't a full on collission with the ground, however it wasn't a soft landing.

To Egas surprise however, she didn't feel hurt and... were that wings?

Full of adrenaline she couldn't sleep anymore and went straight into a direction she knew, she didn't come from. Shoving the thought of the wings to the side for now.
