Awakening

("gron... what the fuck..... every... thing... hurts.")

"that's what happens when you use powers beyond your physical abilities... hehe"

as I hear familiar voice I take a moment to look around my surroundings which is quite difficult for even the slightest movement feels like I'm being stabbed by tiny needles.

"where... am I. ".…"

"we're in one of the guest quarters since you decided to destroy my bedroom or should I say our bedroom it'll take some time for it to be refurbished. "

"...."

"Nostra?"

"...."

"are you all right something wrong?!."

the princess gives me a concerned look but I'm too preoccupied to pay it too much attention as I'm contemplating what just happened.

"IS THAT MY FUCKING VOICE!!! "

"ahh.. you had me frightened there for a moment I thought something was seriously wrong with you. "

"I'm ok... okay everything still hurts but why does my voice sound so..."

"beautiful ?"

"I was going to say feminine..... it's just... I'm not used to it I can't believe that it's me speaking and not someone else. I guess I really did change genders... sigh. "

I let out a big and depressing sigh which ended up making me wince a little bit, I'm trying to remember why I hurt so bad the last thing I remember was standing in front of Aries and then a cooling sensation and then nothing.

"what happened? why do I hurt so much? are you okay? and what happened to your hair? "

the princess lets out a small giggle and gives me a look of Joy but also sadness. "it's going to take me awhile to explain you see..."

the princess gives me the details of what happened a few days ago apparently I've been asleep for a few days and by the time she's finished explaining what happened I feel struck dumb as I can't believe it.

she begins crying profusely as she begins to tell me that she had no choice but to put a control collar on me the tears went down her face as she begs me me for forgiveness. but in all honesty it kind of sounded like I deserved it at the same time I don't really understand the ramifications of the caller yet but as it stands right now I don't blame her.

as she's holding me close I noticed that I'm a lot bigger than I used to be either that or she's a lot smaller.

if I had to guess I'm roughly the size of a small horse which probably means that she's going to be riding on my back a lot sooner than I thought.

I tried asking her about it but she told me that my aunt and my elder sister wanted to tell me as apparently as soon as I'm feeling better me and her are going to be spending a lot of time training ,the next 3 months to be exact before we go on her deployment as she is supposed to take care of the Fringe border to the South and the associated towns and villages that are within her domain.

it's been 3 days since I woke up and honestly I'm bored out of my fucking mind ,since I woke up I've been laying in this bed ,first day was the worst as even the slightest movement caused me no small amount of pain however as the time passed the princess used healing arts to help me recuperate faster I don't really get it but it works.

in that time nobody's come to visit us except for Tayla's maids but they mostly just clean the room and bring us food they don't really talk much.

right now I'm feeling much better if I didn't know better I said I was never hurt in the first place not that I even really understand what's going on though.

I do feel a little bit guilty I have been keeping one secret through no real fault of my own you see not long after I woke up I found out Tayla wasn't the only one in my head, you see not long after I woke up a new voice began talking to me I tried to tell Tayla about it but every time I did the words just wouldn't leave my mouth or my mind she calls herself my spark soul a sort of divine helper, the glorified secretary in my opinion her function is to allow for long disc distance communication with Divine entities although she says I'm not strong enough to actually talk to any of them in the first place so that's something I'll have to wait for later, her other features include but I'm guessing not limited to ,checking my status which has more detail than the spell I saw before , without a need of a spell and notifying me of important events that she deems I need to know.

she seems to be a very cold personality and doesn't say much unless she deems it important I tried asking her to pull up my stats and she told me that she'd only do it once in awhile and that she will only show it to me when there have been a major change to my physiology as it stands my stats look about something like this.

-------------------------

I tried asking her why the stat screen was different than the one I saw before and what the hell was up with that description but she blew me off told me that it was better for my low intelligence that she kept it more simple for me, to say i felt insulted goes without saying.

I also asked why my endurance and stamina were so low yet my strength and offense were high. she told me unlike my other stats endurance stamina and intelligence grow the more I use them where the rest are the default of my race she also told me that I shouldn't put too much stock in what my stats say because an individual at the teen life wall with an A rate stat still wouldn't compare to someone in a higher life wall with the same stat.

for example just because I have an S+ defense doesn't mean I would be able to withstand someone's attack if they were at a higher life wall than me.

twitch my next question was of course what the heck are life walls to which she answered that there are nine life walls in this world in total, the first being the newborn wall in order to reach this wall all one has to do is to be born those who can't become stillborn and die before their journey even begins which I found quite chilling.

after that are the three growth walls which one breaks through naturally as they mature they are child teen and adult as their name suggests you breach these walls as you become a child a teen and then an adult. reaching these walls early increases one's physical maturity at an increased rate for example if a human newborn was to breach the child wall they would mature to three years old and if a child were to breach the teen wall they would become 13 years old physically whether or not they're mentality matures depends solely on their species ,humans in particular who breach these walls would still have the intelligence that they acquired previously for example if a newborn were to surge straight to the teen wall they would still have the knowledge and maturity of a newborn just with the body of a 13-year-old where a monster who retains portions of genetic memory from their parents would mature mentally along with their life wall.

after that are the five power walls each breach through these walls instead of gaining age one gains in physical and magic might through leaps and bounds which also depends on one species for example a armored Fox in the same life wall will always be stronger than say a horned rabbit.

these life walls are as follows peasant warrior Noble sovereign and demigod.

most monsters gain sentience in the warrior wall.

each breakthrough in the power stage has a chance to gain new abilities and increase in stats or if they're really lucky and affinity with one of the primal elements which one requires to cast magic .

most life is born with one affinity for example armored Fox are born with the metal affinity while a sun tailed hawk would be born with a fire affinity.

as I'm sitting next to the window trying to absorb all the information I just received four individuals come into the room I turned to look at them and the most mature among them gives me a beautiful smile and says.

"it's time to train!"
