A/N: So anyways. I've got so much time on my hands now that I've started trying to get a couple of my stories done. I decided to work on the ones that aren't connected to any others.
This chapter is called 'Faith brought me here ~ Dark Chest of Wonders'
I want to thank my newest reviewer CupofTeaforAliceandHatter: Thank you. I hope that you find the rest to be just as interesting.

I opened my eyes, and looked around seeing that I was in a strange place. It looked vaguely familiar like an old style church back home that I used to go to, to feel safe. I mean I'm far from being a Christian but I do understand the ancient 'holiness' of older churches. I sat up and as I did I saw a girl that I must've been laying on. She stood up and held out her hand to me with a smile on her face. There was something about her that made me feel just as safe as this strange church did.

I took her hand and let her help me up off the floor. My eyes were never once resting on one thing. It was strange really. My motions and my senses seemed to be different. Details that I wouldn't've picked up before, I was now seeing with great clarity. The middle of the floor area was covered in water, there were broken benches all around the place, and the church was a ruin. And then I noticed the guy that was standing there as if I should've let go of the girl's hand some time ago. So I dropped her hand and turned between them, "Who are you and where am I?" I ask.

As I spoke I felt that my mouth was different. I lolled my tongue around and felt that my teeth and the shape of my mouth had changed. Vaguely in a daze, I led myself over to the water and glanced in, seeing that I had indeed been transformed.

Let me make something clear here, on my world there are still people with magic. Only a few ever become aware of this fact, as in about one in every three hundred. Then there is usually one in every two hundred fifty magic users that have the ability to transform. That is their magic. Any other spells they can learn stem from their animal. Mine is a cat.

As I looked on my outward appearance I saw my new ears standing erect on the top of my head, a beautiful glossy shine to them. They were a lovely midnight black to match my hair. My eyes were the same hazel honey-gold and green they had always been but I had elongated pupils in the place of my previously round ones. My face was an adorable cross between my once human one, and my inner cat-like features. I had a glossy midnight black colored short fur covering my body where my clothes didn't hide. I reached up and pulled back my sleeve to see that I was completely covered. Though because I had done this I saw I had cat like humanoid hands, and I had sprinklings of a burnt orange color fur on myself as well. As I slowly came out of my self-reflection I came to be aware of a strange pulling and swishing feeling coming from my backside. I looked to find I hand a glorious midnight black tail with a burnt orange tip tuft on the end.
