Ugh, how can someone like him become president? While I, obviously, am no expert in politics I know that saying something like this, which can easily be interpreted as "If necessary, human rights? What are those?" is very bad and stupid.

Like, there are already enough rumours and suspicions about the actions of the CIA and FBI. So it is incredibly stupid to say something that can easily cause a giant controversy.

"This is probably going to cause yet another wave of outcries from several parties."

My sister also seemed to have arrived at a similar conclusion.

"Well not that it has anything to do with us. This shit-storm is going to be in the political world and we are quite far away from that world."

My father seemed to take it more relaxed and didn't seem to think about it that much.

He was mostly right though. We don't have anything to do with politics and the chance that we would get caught up in any of this is very low as we are just random citizens without any importance to those people.

"Let's just let the politicians deal with that while we get used to all these changes. I think that is the smartest thing to do at the moment."

"That's right. Besides, even if we were to do something it's not like we actually could do something."

My sister also seemed to agree with that. Unless they suddenly start changing laws and stuff I, we will not be influenced by this at all.

Besides, I still have to learn to control my mana so that I can change my form. I want to have normal limbs as soon as possible.

"I'm gonna return to my room. I want to try and control my mana some more."

Both of them just nodded.

So I went up and again searched for that warm stream near my heart.

Finding it wasn't a problem, just as before, but trying to control it was still useless.

No matter how I tried to move it and no matter how much effort I put into it.

After trying some more for a few minutes without any results I was too exhausted to continue.

I lied down on my side and tried not to rip my bed apart.

Thanks to my tail I can't even lie down on my back. It's just way too uncomfortable.

----------------------------------------

Like that 3 days passed. 

During this time we got to know several things.

First, my mother hasn't managed to come home yet. 

Apparently, because she works for the tax office and the fact that the way from Stuttgart to here is quite long forced her to stay there for the time being.

Second, the government of Germany, our government released its plans for the immediate future. Even though we don't even have a properly elected government at the moment.

The plan of our government, for now, is a wait and see approach. Since they don't know what else will happen and they also haven't figured out everything that changed (how could they with all that has changed), they decided to slowly sort through the situation. The normal citizens still have to stay home most of the time. We can walk around but there is a curfew. They don't want superhuman criminals being able to run around the cities freely at night after all. 

Only the people working for the state still have to work. 

Since many people went through quite some transformation, however, the army and police are busy going around and confirming every registered person in the villages, towns, and cities. As many changed so much that the data in their passport and the likes are no longer accurate. Especially for the ones who changed as much as I did.

Third, most of the other countries also released their plans for now. Most of them take an approach similar to that of ours, however, some decided to rush things a bit more. They try to speed the registering of the changed people as much as possible while also trying to form collaborations to research mana. At the same time, there are many rumours of strange programs that the governments are trying to get through but no evidence so far.

Fourth, the situation in my family is stable. Even with the race change for us all, there doesn't seem to be a huge problem. 

However, the most important one was the fifth. This one concerned me and my change. 

I found out quite a bit about my changes in the past few days. 

The more problematic ones were the ones concerning my behaviour. Not only did I start to prefer the night quite a bit and started hating the sun more and more, I also noticed that sometimes it is nearly impossible to control my emotions. It seems that the race I changed into is a race that is prone to act on their emotions. Besides the changes in what I eat, I also became a bit more playful. Playful as in like a cat. 

You know how cats like to imitate a hunt or a little fight or how they play with their prey? You could say it's similar to that. I more and more enjoyed sneaking up on things and I had a certain urge to get into a playful fight. My curiosity also leapt by bounds. I just can't stay still anymore and can't concentrate on one thing for too long. 

The next thing would be my senses. I didn't notice these at the beginning because of the shock and because my brain wasn't used to this kind of information so it wasn't able to process it. I read that up on Wikipedia when I noticed that my senses got better with every day. My eyes were now, probably, comparable to a cat. I had night vision, you could say. My hearing also got better but not by much. It was just slightly above that of humans. And while my nose wasn't even close to that of a dog or even a cat, when it came to blood I doubted there was anything as good in smelling it as I. I was able to smell it when a child injured itself on the small playground at the end of the street. Even though all the windows were closed, I was able to smell the scent of blood. And that scent is really intoxicating, nearly addictive. 

The next notable thing would be that I feel like I am pretty close to achieving controlling my mana. Since I practised controlling it several times a day it seemed that I will be able to reap my rewards soon enough. I really want to switch to my normal form as soon as possible. These claws of mine were really inconvenient in daily life. I can't even dress myself or grab something without having to pay attention so that I don't accidentally destroy it.

Right now it is mid noon and I am sitting on my bed. It has suffered quite a bit over the past few days. There were cuts all over the mattress and the blanket. I'll have to replace them soon.

Anyways I wanted to try controlling my mana again as I have felt like I would be able to do so pretty soon. 

So I started to concentrate and tugged at the mana near my heart. It was the place with the highest mana concentration in my body, at least as far as I could tell. I already knew that the mana coursed through my entire body but the concentration was so low that I was barely even able to feel it, much less try controlling it.

As I continued tugging at the concentrated mana near my heart and tried to make it move like I wanted my breath got ragged and I started to sweat. However, I still continued. After some more time, for the first time, the mana moved. My goal this whole time was to isolate some of the mana so that I would be able to control it as a separate entity from then on. And finally, some mana stretched out and separated itself from the main mana lumb. It was very small, just a few drops but still it worked.

Skill {Mana control} learned

So it is a skill. Good, that will allow me to see just how advanced I am in it. Obviously, since I just learned it, it still is lv1. 

Now since it's still mid noon I still have plenty of time to try to change my form to the normal form.

When I tried to stand up to grab me something to drink before I try, I noticed that I couldn't move.

What the...? Why can't I move? 

The answer came just after that.

"Finally you did it. I was already getting tired of waiting. Well, I suppose it was still faster than what a normal human could have done so it's fine."

It was a beautiful female voice. However, it seemed to have come from everywhere yet nowhere.

Who? My room is still empty so where is this voice coming from?

"Right I didn't even introduce myself. If I were to use the name that is the most known one then it would be Gaia so you can call me that."

Gaia? As in that Gaia? The Gaia that is the earth itself? The Gaia that has woken up not long ago and is responsible for the reappearing of mana?

"Yes, I am just that Gaia. Do you know any other ones? Well, let's leave that alone for now. Instead, let's talk about why I am here. You should already have an idea because of your titles."

You mean the part that I am now the last member of a lost species? Or the part where I am protected by you. Maybe the part where Life and Death view me as their child.

"It's the first part. You are only protected by me because you are the last member of a lost species. And while the part of Life and Death is also important, we can discuss that later. Though I don't know when I will be able to get some more free-time for you again."

By the way, how can you even speak to me like this? Also, why can't I move. Did you stop time or are you simply restricting me?

"I temporarily stopped time. Now don't ask me how I did it. You wouldn't understand it in the first place and it would also take too long. As for how I can talk to you?. Now that you have learned the basics of mana control, I can use the mana to stimulate your senses directly with mana and make you perceive my voice just through that."

Ok, so why are you here. You already said that it's about me and my species but what about it?

"Well mainly to give you some basic information about what you are currently so that one day you won't accidentally harm or even kill yourself because you didn't know something about your species. I guess I should just start with some basic facts. The reason you are the last of your species is because, back then, when I decided that your species was more of a threat to basically all the other species on earth than any good, I decided to seal their heritage inside a random bloodline of humans so that if I ever decided to try and revive the species, I wouldn't have to recreate them from nothing."

Wait so you personally removed my species from earth? How?

"I removed them because their instincts to hunt and kill were uncontrolled. While they had human intelligence, they raised their children in a way that made them more like monsters. They didn't know self-restraint and would kill or at least try to kill anyone who they wanted. And because of just how strong an adult of your species was, It was really problematic for the other species back then. And how I removed them was relatively simple. They existed at the time where mana was still common sense to anyone. And part of their natural way of living included actions that needed mana. This is actually the part where they get stronger by consuming blood and lose strength if they didn't consume blood for a longer period of time. An ability like that doesn't really work without mana so once I drained them all of mana and made them all unable to use mana anymore they got weaker and weaker and finally were unable to survive."

Uwahh that's a nasty way to do it. Was that really necessary?

"Back then, it was. In several parts of the earth, they already drove many species to either near extinction or complete extinction just because they didn't like them."

Sigh well what's done is done. So what more should I know about my species?

"I already mentioned that you would sooner or later get weaker if you don't consume blood. Incidentally, this is also why your species is called Blood eater. The next thing would be that you should make sure not to inject your poison into anyone you don't want to suffer. Your poison is pretty nasty. It makes sure that a wound will continue to bleed for a long time. You could say that the effect is just like haemophilia. It also reduces the natural ability of the body to heal. After these effects have worn off it causes heavy dizziness."

So it basically makes it very difficult for the affected person to heal and makes sure that the wound will continue to bleed. And after that has worn off the person gets ill. How long do these effects last?

"Well, it depends on who or what you inject. Since it varies heavily depending on what race were talking about let's just leave them aside for now. If we were to talk about a human then you could expect the first part to last about 8-10 hours. It depends on how much poison is lost with the blood that is lost. While the second part can last for a day or two days if nothing to stop it is consumed."

 So long enough for anything to happen. How does it even work?

"Basically, it stops the blood clotting so the blood will just continue to flow. The natural healing process is reduced because it makes the cells, at least temporarily, unable or nearly unable to split. Explaining the illness-like part is just too troublesome so I will leave it at that."

Sigh, I really don't want to deal with all this shit. ...So is there anything else? I already noticed that it changed my behaviour a bit and enhanced my sense.

"Well, not really that much. You already know most of how it affects your personality and behaviour. Your senses also won't change all that much anymore. Just be careful with anyone who has either been chosen or blessed by God. It would be even better if you don't interact with them at all. Even back then there were many gods that either hated your race or wanted to use your race so it would be better if you were to go unnoticed by them or at least be strong enough to survive on your own before they set their sights on you."

So even more trouble is coming my way. Woohoo. As if all this race change and gender change is not troublesome enough already.

"It can't be changed. I decided to give your race one more chance and so lifted the seal once I awakened. And you just so happened to be the only member of the bloodline that had the heritage awakened."

Why were you sleeping, unconsciousness or whatever in the first place? And what will happen from now on? The system already mentioned the existence of fallen gods, dark gods and apostles of the end. 

"It still is way too early for you to learn that. I will tell you once you have become strong enough if you ever do. After all, it depends on how you decide to live. You will know when you have become strong enough so there is no need for me to tell you. Anyways, since I just reawakened there is still a lot for me to deal with so I will have to stop our conversation here. I will contact you once it is necessary or the opportunity arrives again."

Wait! Is there a way to reverse these changes? Also, How do I change forms?

"I guess I can still answer this. First of all yes there is a way. But I am the only one who knows it and can do it. And since I want you to revive your species I will not allow it. And secondly, changing forms is very easy now that you can control your mana. Just rouse some of your mana and then concentrate on the overall state of your body The system will help you."

Damn it! 

Her last words still echoed and slowly faded. After it completely faded I was finally able to move again. 

Sigh, so much trouble and so much stuff to think about. 

I won't be able to sit down and concentrate at the moment so I will try to change my form later on. For now, I need to calm down and drink something. 

15 minutes later I have finally been able to calm down. I had some small talk with my sister and was forced to agree on another lesson about stuff that I need to know as a girl later on in the afternoon. Urgh. 

For now, I want to try and change my form already. I am getting really tired of my claws already.
