Soul Metamorphosis

I woke up from my trance to find myself in a different place, it wasn't the white space I was just in obviously, but it wasn't in the blacky abyss where I met Nachash and that other being.

It was somewhere else entirely, but I'm not sure where.

And I soon realised that I was inside an egg. I don't know how I know this, but maybe it's instinctual.

Regardless, I'm inside an egg right now, and I think that this is how my soul evolves. By encasing itself, or rather myself, in a sealed shell like an egg, it undergoes a process of transformation.

'I think it was called metamorphosis?'

But that wasn't important right now. What was important, was that I could feel the changes in my soul.

It felt like the energies that I was, or had absorbed by now, were fusing with me and helping in reshaping my soul.

It wasn't a painful experience, but more like I was in a warm bath whilst getting a massage, except, the water was massaging me, and I was the water. But I couldn't move at all, I just kind of floated around randomly.

It was a very weird sensation that was hard to describe, but what wasn't as hard to describe, was the sensation of growth that I felt, not just in my power, but in my very being, like everything was being remoulded.

I don't know how long I was there for, as I had no sense of time, but it felt like years. Either way, the process continued, and I remained conscious throughout.

And throughout this experience I could feel more than just the empowerment that was happening in my soul, I could also feel the physical changes, as weird as that sounds. And I observed these changes as my body slowly moved and twisted around.

Originally, my soul looked the same as my physical body, but now, it felt like my tail was growing longer, my fangs extended, and horns protruded from my forehead amongst other minor changes.

Eventually, I felt that the transformation process was coming to an end. A few more changes had happened over this period, such as my scales gaining a small, sharp fin-shaped blade atop the centre of the scale itself. I also noticed that my breasts seemed to be a bit bigger.

I hope that if any of these changes affect my body, it's only my boobs that are affected, and not the rest of my body.

Anyways, I soon felt the transformation end, and I could finally move by myself, and not by floating like a piece of wood that was submerged in water or something.

With my movement now returned to me, I floated forwards in whatever direction I was facing and eventually reached a wall. I proceeded to start punching said wall to break through the eggshell and I assume complete my evolution.

*Crack*

After just a few punches, I heard a cracking sound coming from the spot I was striking.

*Crack* *Crack*

A few more hits and I could now see the cracks growing larger after every strike.

And then, it shattered.

I then pushed through the broken shell and out into another white voidscape.

"Where am I now?" I spoke out to no one in particular, not expecting a response.

"Hmm?" I heard someone respond to me in an unexpected manner. "Who are you little... not so little one?"

I turned my head to see a giant spiritual silver tree, far off into the distance? I'm not quite sure if it had a tremendous size and was really far away, or if it was just surppressing its size.

"I-" I hesitated to answer as I wasn't sure what kind of being this spirit was.

"Hm, I can see your aversion towards me, but worry not, I shan't hurt you little one." The voice, which sounded ancient, said to me.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"I am Efyos, the spiritual guardian of this forest, or at least, I'm supposed to be... Hahh..." Efyos sighed dejectedly.

"I know you! Cythistia told me about you!" I exclaimed.

"Hmm? Ah, you must be the serpent that she told me about. Yes, I know of you as well." He replied.

"Sooo… Where exactly is this place?" I asked.

"In another plane of existence. I know that might be a bit hard to understand, but that's the truth."

"So why am I here then?" I further inquired.

"Most likely because of where you decided to undergo your metamorphosis, it allowed you to do it in my domain." Efyos theorised. "Which is a good thing, because if you weren't in a safe place both physically and spiritually, someone or something could have harmed you during your metamorphosis."

"What do you mean by 'someone could've harmed me'?"

He then went on to explain, "Well, what you did was go through a transformation of the soul, which will almost always happen in the soul plane. So, if you aren't in a soul domain like mine, and get really bad luck, either some wandering soul creature will come by and try to kill and eat you, or some other being who can enter the soul plane with their own soul will attempt to do the same."

"Oh…" That was a lot to take in all at once.

The fact that I can be in danger simply because of where I am or who is around me at that time.

"Although, you seemed to form a natural protective cocoon around yourself when you do this, so you might be safe." He went on to say.

"Oh, okay..."

"I'm not entirely sure about that though, so don't bet on it. Plus, I didn't want to try anything in case it interrupted your transformation process midway."

I remained silent.

"Ah, you seem to not have much long left here, well, goodbye for now, may we meet again, and good luck."

"W-Wait! What do you me-"

I was cut off as I was pulled back into my body in the physical plane.

*Crash*

I was launched into the wall from the backlash of my soul being forcefully shoved back inside my body.

"Traytora!" I heard someone shouting.

The rushed over to my side I I could feel that it was Cythistia. She used her magic to help alleviate some of the pain.

"Uurghh..." I groaned.

"Are you okay?! I was just sitting here watching over you, and, and then you suddenly flew into the wall. What happened?!" She screamed in a panicked manner.

I placed a hand on her shoulder to stop her from saying anything else and to calm her down before she did something drastic out of panic.

I leaned forward and kissed her on the cheek before showing her a tired smile.

"Oh thank goodness you're okay. I was very worried then that something bad happened to you." She sighed in relief.

I just continued to smile in response.

"You look tired, would you like me to take you to bed now?" She asked.

I nodded slightly and she knelt down and helped hoist my tail onto her as my arms wrapped around her body as I yawned and started drifting off to sleep.

"Good night sweetheart." She whispered gently.

Not long after that, I dozed off into dreamland.
