hm. hmmmmm.
This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.
Quite a few new things, eh?
Well, for one thing, must of my abilities have grown exponentally. Which is very nice.
I’ve akso got a wierd new title, but... I’m pretty sure it’s fine.
There’s also that new personal ability, root control... dunno what it does, but, I’ll be very happy if i can use it like a bunch of arms.
Another new ability is Sweet Scent, the one all those White Sips had.
Hm.
What the hell am i now again?...
- You are a Plant of Venus. -
Yeah, i know, but...
well, whatever. right now, i should explore my-, OH HECC WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BODY OF THE WHITE LILY
- Your body absorbed it while you were unconcious. -
Huh? It can do that?...
- Yes. -
Sure, why not.
well, anywho... time to explore my body!
I began by trying to grasp what i looked like. as i had no eyes this was a very hard task, but, thanks to my now expert sense of touch, i easily groped myself until i was aware of just how i looked.
yup. this is wierd.
the body that petruded from the ground was fairly normal. long leaves that slowly and meekly absorbed light and a long stem shooting up from them. however, at the end of that stem sat something exotic, a head.
well, not in a human sense, but... more in an Audrey II kind of way.
it was basickally made up by two large leaves that, if i tried really hard, could close and open as i pleased. along the sides were teeth-like barbs most likely meant to be used for defence and nutrient gathering. however, i had no idea how i would do such a thing.
underneath the ground was my web of legs. it was far smaller then id wish it was, but it was adequate.
however, wahat i most wanted to do was simple. i wanted to use my roots!
or, rather, control them!
hey, Voice? how do i do that?
- As it is not an active Ability, i cannot demonstrate. -
ah. i see how it is. ”train and leadn by yourself, young grasshopper”, eh?
very well! i shall do so!
i began by intensly focusing on my legs. i tried thåo emulate the feeling of growing, however, in a more flexible and not by using energy.
at first, this was a trgically fruitless endevour that led only to sadness and despair. however, as i was a tenacious little twat, i didnt give up!
after my tenth of hundreth try, one of my roots moved! i could feel it.
i felt how one of the roots shiften and moved, however, without using energy.
it was a rather bizzarre feeling. like having a snake tapes to your leg, trying to slither away and strugge to no avail.
however, what i wanted wasnt to move my root about underground. no, i knew what i wanted.
i tried my best at memorizing the feeling of controlling a root, and after many retries, i knew it. like moving a third limb.
turning my attention upwards, i could feel my exitement grow.
hehehehehehe.
the root shot up, well, it was going eather slowly, into the air and penetrated the outermost layer of dirt, finding its freedom in the open air above.
yesssss!
the root happily flew from one side to another in the air, cekebrating by doing a little dance, even.
if i had a mouth, i would smile.
- Root has entered the atmosphere and can thus mutate. what sense would you like? -
