Lewis was pleased with himself, after getting back to the tunnels he had found the body had extensive injuries around the crotch area and within, the goblins had been rough with her and he knew there was damage done from giving birth to two goblins both Lewis had killed when destroying the village but he was able to get it to heal to a point he wasn't so afraid of taking over the body, there was still an immense pain once taking control but she managed to bear it, standing she groaned at the mortal bodies susceptibility to the temperature.

Her name was kaelin nomdus or the body was before he/she consumed it and she decided to go by the name once more at least while within her new/old body, the webbing of the tunnels wasn't many obstructions as the new body seemed just as able to traverse it as the spiders which she was very glad for.

Kaelin then decided she would begin making clothes from her silk, she had been taught how to sew and things such as that, it was part of a noble lady's duties so she remembered being taught it from an early age, or an early age of one of the lives she lives, it confused her she was Lewis but at the same time she was a nameless arachnid monster and Kaelin all at the same time, she knew her situation but felt she was also  changed.

She had also noticed that her spirit form had changed, she didn't have mirrors so she had to appear in front of an animal and absorb its soul seeing herself through its memories and while she neither looked like Lewis or Kaelin she had an androgynous look, her male leaning had drawn closer to a middle ground, the body becoming androgynous, having the build and muscle definition of a male but seemed to hold a grace and softness that usually found itself more on females.

The body had changed as well, her hair turned from a warm brownish colour with a soft warm feeling to it into a platinum/white colour but now an aged grey that the elderly develop but white and feeling like silk, very very soft, her eyes had turned from a soft hazel into a crimson red, a mixture of blood and hellfire something that frustrated her to no ends causing her to throw out many of her plans and begin formulating new ones trying to think up ways to explain the appearance change until she realised she could manipulate it at will.

Kaelin stayed in the tunnel home for 2 months to get used to the body though it really took less than an hour due to all the memories of the female body she had but really she stayed to experiment.

Soon after she began heading towards where she remembered the nearest village to be, she was very very far from any cities or towns but there were some remote villages nearby, she observed the surroundings with a smile, in her life as Lewis she had learned to have an appreciation for the world, at one point she watches amused as a rat barked at a dear, though the deer didn't look impressed and Kaelin moved on before she could witness the outcome.

The height of the current body did get on her nerves a little though, while not as small as the goblins most of her bodies or her preferred bodies were tallied, it shortened her field of vision and lessened her reach and the body itself was much less trained to wield weapons, another reason why she spent two months back at the tunnels, to hone her body and make sure it was healed, while the body was indeed 13 years of age sexual interactions with it on the goblins part seemed to have sped up puberty and the breasts got in the way of some movements she was used to making as Lewis in his younger years and as a goblin and the animals but she quickly adapted.

Finding the village was easy using Wraith form to fly above the trees she could see it easily with enhanced eyesight, the village was more civilised than the goblins and she was very glad the place was no bandit encampment which was pretty obvious because it was very clearly a permanent set of buildings.

Kaelin saw it was paved with cobbled roads, it had a wooden gatehouse and wooden wall of spiked logs around it with wooden guard towers around the perimeter wall, she assumed it was probably first a temporary military encampment which has been taken over by the native people making a village out of it.

She then returned to her body and began walking towards where she saw the village, her white finely made expensive looking dress made her nobility obvious as she walked towards the small town she thought over what she would tell the villagers when she arrived, she would have to either borrow a raven from one of the villagers to send a letter to her family or possess a raven herself and take the letter herself after finding a secure place to leave the body she was currently residing in.

Suddenly Kaelin fell to the floor panting heavily her face contorted in pure agony as memories flashed through her head, memories from all of the girls captured by goblins, memories or being beaten, raped and some very very damaging childbirths stood out most prominently, it felt like it lasted hours to her but in reality it was a mere 30 second span, those were a common occurrence for her though it was not always the girls or rapes though they were the ones that left her throwing up or having a severe distaste in her mouth for many hours.

Others consisted of many injuries taken by the souls before they either dies, were killed or had their souls torn from them, another thing he experienced through memories or dreams and it hurt awfully, it was a pain that you never got used to as bad maybe worse than rape in terms of violation and kaelin found herself developing a deep sense of paranoia and fear of anything and everything that moves.

She found herself suppressing her emotions to a great degree and most of her decisions didn't include emotional thought being very logical.

Kaelin walked up a short hill, it was quite the distance from the forest now and she was hoping that the village was near, her back hurt falling over from the... daymare?, she had landed on the root of a tree and hurt her back which annoyed her greatly with a scowl etched onto her pale face she reached  the top of the hill and saw a large village, much better then the goblins she had encountered.
