[ 26 ] I became a Bird?!

I looked in the mirror; all I saw was an immotionless, cold-hearted person. 

This dark-looking room I live in made my red eyes look even more evil.

I coldly chuckled before sitting on the sofa. I took a potion bottle; it had a red-looking potion in it. 

I looked at it with my cold, red eyes. Interesting. I wonder how effective it is. It's a little more expensive than before.

I slowly gulped down the bitter red potion in my throat. 'It tastes a little different than I remember' 

But, oh well, it doesn't matter. It must taste different because of the better quality.

I laid down in bed. Ready to enter the dreamworld? The only place where I can feel more humane.

however nothing happened. I frowned, but I still waited for some time.

'It must have taken more time to activate than the last potion'

But even after five minutes, nothing happened. I opened my eyes and growled in dissatisfaction.

'Why the heck is it not working!? It was not supposed to be like this!' I thought to myself.

Before I could do something about my dissatisfaction, my body started to shrink.

It got smaller and started to grow wings and feathers.

In less than a minute, I was turned into a bird. I looked in the mirror to confirm my status.

And much to my horror, I did became a bird. 

To add salt to my wounds, I became a cute-looking pink bird with red feathers at the ends of my wings.

I growled in anger, but it only sounded like cute bird squeaks. I closed my mouth in anger.

I felt ashamed for almost looking like a pink balloon. 

I hated pink; I didn't know why I turned pink instead of black or red, matching myself.

Though I admit, a black and red bird would look rather ugly, it didn't matter!

At least I wouldn't look like a pink balloon...

After the whole five minutes, I finally started to calm down. 

"Okay, everything is fine... I just turned into a pink baloo-sorry bird. All I have to do is..."

Dang! I don't know what to do! 

I don't know if this potion will run out or not. If yes, then how much time will it take!? 

How did it even happen to me?

His panic went on for another five minutes before calming down.

Breath in, breath out.

'The question is, how did this happen to me?'

I closed my tiny eyes, thinking about it carefully.

I didn't know that I looked very cute like that, like a fat little pink bird. 

Thankfully, I don't. 

Some time went by like that, and I finally opened my eyes. My got eyes narrowed at thinking about the reason for my such state.

'Now I remember! It's that purple-haired bastard that bumped into me!'

I never saw that guy before; he looked suspicious too. 

He weirdly reminds me of someone; I can't remember who.

But that's not the point here. How dare that purple-haired bastard switch my dream potion with this shitty bird-turning potion? 

I will teach him a lesson after turning back to humans.

I just don't know how to turn back. 

I sighed to myself. I looked like a little clown-like bird, and I hated that.

I can feel mana inside me. Every being does, but only a few races can unlock it; humans are one of them. 

Also being one of the very few races that can manipulate magic very well.

I have now turned into a bird, and I am unable to perform magic. 

Which is very pathetic, and I am unable to change myself back.

Suddenly, an idea came to my mind:.

I slapped my round forehead with my tiny wings. 

Why hadn't I thought about this before?

'I can't change myself, but someone else can, right?!'

So I started to fly towards the door. I can ask Prof. Hangse for help.

But just as I was flying, an obstacle came in my way. The Door.

I glared at the door in frustration. I totally forgot that a bird can't open a door.

It made me wonder, How the heck will I even explain my situation to Prof. Hangse?

But I didn't let that ruin my motivation.

Which is pretty rare, if I be honest.

I flew towards the window. Thankfully, it was open, or I would be stuck here permanently.

At least one good thing happened today.

I went outside the room through the window.

I felt kind of scared outside. Everything seems so big here; it makes me feel like prey.

I flew towards the professor's office, but there was another obstacle in my way.

Students. 

Despite being a holiday, there were quite a few students in the halls.

This girl started to comment on me, saying how cute I was.

I tched at them. They usually call me Daddy.

Not that I care, though.

I saw Voilet among the students. Just as I was about to fly towards him in need of help, His minion pointed his wand at me.

While saying something like, Trying to catch me for Voilet,".

I hurriedly flaped my wings and flied towards the nearest window.

Despite getting on the other side of the window, the boy still followed me.

I immediately flew in a random direction. Everything is fine as long as I am not in reach of this bastard.

I made sure to remember his face in my mind. I will make sure to take my revenge when I become a human again.

I had unknowingly flied towards a lone garden. Thankfully, there were no humans near here. 

I sat on a tree... I felt really tired.

Although it might not look like it, flying and running away took a toll on my poor little body.

I felt hungry, too. I didn't realize the slight changes around me. When I looked back, there was an eagle coming towards me at full speed.

I barely dodged its attack, but my stomach and wind were injured. 

I looked around myself in panic. Suddenly I saw a row of hope when I saw a human nearby, which I had missed before.

I flied towards that person; it looked like a boy to me. I hid beneath the boy, trying to protect myself with a human shield.

I pulled his hair by my beak, but that guy didn't wake up. I looked towards the wind eagle coming towards us with full speed, in fear.

Oh Aurora...I don't want to die. Atleast not like in form of a pink bird. 

Poor me...Rain Skyler....

damn it!
