/The Shade Lords POV:

We stood at the bottom of the well that would lead us up to Dirtmouth, but I have now realized that I am once more to big for where I want to go. "Uhhhh my Lord it would seem that you are too big to be able to go up the well." The Godseeker said to me as she was held in my lower left arm. I nod in agreement and set her on the ground preparing to try what I did in Junk pit here. Shrinking down my size.

I step back a bit, closing my eyes and taking in a deep breath trying to calm myself down to concentrate; and just like before I concentrate inwards trying to make myself smaller, and after a couple of seconds I open the four on the right side of my face and I find that I'd succeeded in shrinking myself down again. I look around me seeing everyone having more or less a surprised or dumb founded face.

Everyone except for the godseeker who had a Wondrous reverent type awe on her face as she lightly golf clapped. *clap* *clap* *clap* "What a wonderful display of power my Lord." She said cheerfully walking closer to me.

   I knew that I had shrunken down significantly so I began to look around to figure out how small I had gotten, specifically the Hollow Knight. Who I seem to be a head taller if they stood straight up, my wym lower body almost made me twice their height;
and speaking my lower half. I really miss my legs. To be able walk around again would be amazing. Only if I could change my.... Body to.... SUIT MY NEEDS.

Why haven't I thought of this already, I could change the size of my body I could surely  just change my body to have legs again. So I close my eyes again and repeat the same process I did before, and when I open my eyes again I immediately fall to the ground with a loud thump cracking the old and unmaintained ground beneath me.

So when I looked down I to assess the damage I caused I realized what caused me to fall in the first place. My long wym like lower half was replaced with long and slender legs. As tried and struggled standing up and not to fall again due to me forgetting the feeling of using my legs. My legs wobbling and almost buckling in on themselves as I stood up.

I looked up the well readying myself for the climb I will have to do to get up to Dirtmouth. I turn back to the Godseeker whose reverent awe only has grown larger with me changing my form again. Which made it a bit easier to pick her back up with my lower left arm, but it was a little bit harder to hold her due to me being now smaller, and her being quite the tall bug. I looked back at the other three waiting for them to get out of their shocked state.

which confused me if I had to be totally honest with myself; these three have lived long and hard lives and have seen many many things. I don't think I should be so weird to them. Right? Well uhhh anyways it doesn't matter right now. Maybe I'm overthinking it.

   The Hollow Knight who seemed to be the first to wake themselves up, walked up to the chain that led up to Dirtmouth and grabbed it and looking up the well as if thinking.

Which made me remember that they only had one arm therefore couldn't climb up the well. So I grabbed them as well using my lower right arm causing them to squirm a little bit in surprise when I did. Causing Hornet and Ogrim to wake up and get involved.

   "HEY WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING GHOST? PUT DOWN YOUR.... UHH SIBLING THIS INSTANT." Hornet yells looking up at me. I was about to tell the Godseeker to tell Hornet that I was going to carry my sibling up to well, but It seems like Ogrim understood what I was doing and interjected
