Waking up the next morning, Jayde felt refreshed. While this new body of hers was weak according to Jayde's standards at least, it was physically fit. The previous Jayde had been a slave, so she was accustomed to doing hard physical labor.

Which was a good thing in Jayde opinion, if she could eat enough, and with proper exercise and training it should not take her too long to get this body fighting fit.

Feeling motivated, Jayde jumped out of bed. Stretching like a cat, she rubbed her face, then quickly leaving the cave she found a private place to relieve her bladder, after returning to the cave, she washed her faced and ate the other half of the wafer bread. Drinking some water Jayde yearned for some kaffee, but from her inherited memories, she couldn't find anything similar to the kaffee that she used to drink on this strange new world.

Kaffee was a synthetic caffeinated drink available in the Federation, it was based on ancient earth coffee and chocolate, both of these plants had died out a long time ago due to an environmental catastrophe that happened on old Earth. Stupid humans couldn't even look after their own planet thought Jayde, thinking back to the history books she had read.

After making the bed, Jayde looked around there was not much she could do, so she decided to start training this new body. After training for half an hour, Jayde was fed up, the clothes she was wearing were too big, and she kept on tripping and getting herself tangled up.

Adding synsuits to her list of items that she dearly missed from her previous life — if this carried on she would have to train naked, while Jayde wasn't a prude, but training naked was really taking it a bit too far as far as she was concerned.

Jayde had a mental picture of her training naked and then being attacked by some creature and having to run around butt naked, shaking her head to dislodge the disturbing image. Jayde decided to have a look around to see if there was anything that she could use to make clothes that fit for herself.

Seeing the beast skins, Jayde eyes lit up. Walking over to the skins she picked up one of them, feeling it, it felt like synleather, a material available in the Federation. The leather had been properly cured and was soft and supple.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

This will do, she thought, she could make herself some pants and shirts from this leather. Her dagger would be sharp enough to cut the leather, but how was she going to sew these pieces together.

After looking through all the chests and boxes, Jayde couldn't find anything to use as a needle. Sitting down and scratching her head she tried to think up some sort of plan. Without thinking she picked an old animal bone which she fiddled with while eyeing the items piled up.

Suddenly she felt a sharp pain on her right index finger, looking down she saw a drop of blood.

Confused she had a look to see what was in her hand that had pricked her, seeing the small bone, her eyes brightened, if she whittled this bone, and drilled a small hole into it, it would make a great needle.

Opening the chest that contained the weapons that she found the day before, she took out one of the old daggers. She didn't want to use the sharp dagger that she had picked up that used to belong to her second uncle, it was a really well-made dagger, and even though it was a self-sharpening blade, Jayde had no idea how long the spell would last, and she would need it when she entered the Dark Forest.

After a couple of hours of whittling and shaping the small bone, Jayde finally had a decent needle. Taking some of the smaller pieces of leather, she cut them into thin strips to use as a thread to sew the pieces of leather together.

Feeling hungry again, Jayde ate the leftover rations that she had bought with her, she didn't want to waste food, and she would rather eat it all now before it went off.

After lunch, Jayde went back to making herself a new set of clothing. It took her a while to figure out how to measure herself for her new pants, but she finally had the pieces of leather marked, using the old dagger to cut the leather she ended up with cut leather pieces.

Using the bone needle and leather strips, she sewed the pieces of leather together, it took her some time as the leather was really tough and even though the bone needle was sharp, it still took quite a bit of effort to puncture the leather pieces.

Finally, Jayde had finished sewing her leather pants, trying them on Jayde was satisfied that they were comfortable and fit her small frame nicely. After she shadow fought for a while, Jayde was really pleased with her new pants.

After dinner, Jayde tackled making her shirt, since she didn't have anything that she could use as buttons she used leather strips so that she could tie the front of her shirt together.

Putting on her new outfit, she was really delighted with her hard work, it had been worth the effort.

Thankfully this body hasn't started to develop yet, so I don't have to worry about things like a bra, she thought.

Feeling tired but satisfied with what she had accomplished, Jayde had a quick bath and climbed into bed.
