New Body

Reveal and Illusion

She smiled at me. Looks like she wasn't kidding. "How about this? You still seem reticent. I'll take down the illusion covering me, show you my true human form, and you remove that blanket in return. Deal?" She looked down at me.

I nodded.

I didn't think it would be possible in this world I was thinking I was going to learn secretly some crazy-awesome techniques, change them a little bit with my knowledges to make them legendary, and than finally show my face to the world. A world where nobody could oppose me. And only than beginning the search for a way to send me back home, to my original realm.

She closed her eyes and slowly, a slight change in her appearance began to show. Her hair grew lighter, her limbs became longer, thinner, her cheeks and eyes bigger, her chest grew, as well. Red eyes. She looks even younger than she had before.

"Reary eighdy?"

"No lie." She said calmly.

I paused and than let the blanket slip to the floor, it sat against the floor against my legs. It still held my small, weak tail beneath it. My tail wasn't like a cats like one might think. Instead, it was more like a small, secondary bundle of hair. Feeling through the thin hairs were tiny, flexible bones that seemed more fitting in the wing of a bird than growing out of my lower back, just above my butt. I wrapped up the base of it as the hair liked to find its way between my legs or into my butt. It wasn't a pleasant feelings.

It was just long enough now to start dragging on the ground behind me, which was why I had to make sure the blanket was always trailing after me as well as wrapped tightly. It was thin, maybe only a finger thick if you felt past the fur, but about a foot wide at the bottom, the widest part. I was just barely wider than I was thick.

My hair was similarly soft and white, but not nearly as long. The rest of my wasn't formed yet, but my big blue eyes are great when trying to get something from Jie. Of course I'm not a puppy dog, but it works just as well.

Canren, surprisingly, didn't start jumping up and down excitedly or anything. She just seemed glad I'd finally opened up to her. She clapped and bounced on her folded legs, "So? What should we change? Hair, eyes, skin? Age? Who do you want to be?"

'Who did I want to be?' Honestly, I've never minded experiencing new lives. I'm one of the strange few who thinks that way. Most are unable to change enough from one world to the next. Not being able to talk to anyone is difficult for the more sociable species, as well, but at those times I don't mind sharing my past to one or two trusted individuals. In my third world, the entire world of creatures and beings knew everything as I did but... At that time we are all part of the same 'creature'. Something like cells, I suppose.

I glanced at my tiny sitting figure in the mirror. "Juss to go ourside. Someding normar."

Canren didn't reply for a moment. Than, "Alright," She nodded, "Normal it is than, but do you mind if I add another year anyway? Your mother said you were smart but I think you're a little ahead in your years."

I nodded. I was ahead in years, after all. More than Canren was ahead. Much more.
