The Awakening

The forest was a bathed in a golden light that lit up the whole area. The area was as perfect as it could be, but there was still a feeling of wrongness. The rift in space an time having an identifiable aura around so much so that even though it was a perfect day the breeze was just a little to cold and the shadows that remained in the clearing just a little to dark.

By the edge of the forest if one looked hard enough they could see the it laying on the ground sandwiched between two rocks. The, for lack of better words , person lay in mangled mess in-between the rocks. The cloths it had were torn beyond recognition and the what looked like hair was stuck everywhere in an amazing show of defiance to gravity. What could have originally been a lighter shade of blue gray like the new eyes of a child or were almost like the rainy clouds, dirt and grime instead made it look more like old and worn blue yarn jacket. Scratched up skin shown through the fabric not to pale but still on the light tan side of the spectrum.

As though the rift were able to tell that again the rift entities had plans for the human, so large that for the next few days the battles between the Senju and Uchiha were always angled to miss the specific clearing and when it started to wake the temperature started to even out more. The rift seemed that it had almost inspired pity on nature. Almost, as the nature got calmer the patterns changed and soon lands that were never ment to rise were starting to be formed forever throwing history off the path of fate.

Ugh what the heck. Opening my eyes I was met with hard packed dirt. My arm and shoulder were pinned by the two large rocks at my side. Struggling I was able to make it so my back was leaning against the rocks. Hmm that's odd last I remember I was walking back home after my shift ended.

As I struggled to push myself off the ground further, I noticed that something was wrong. Well not wrong per say just slightly more off than I was comfortable with. Finally I stopped to really look and pay attention to the surrounding area. The floors were covered by the greenest grass I had ever seen. Which is, admittedly, not much to go by seeing that I was born and raised in the desert part of Arizona.

The trees were tall enough that the canopy swayed in the sky shaking the lower branches and this creating a calming swishing sound. "Last I checked pine wasn't native to the cities of Arizona." To be fair the last time I had seen a pine tree was sometime in the 7 th grade when me and my family had gone up north. Instead of palm trees which were all to common where I lived it was mostly pine that year. "And last I checked if there was anything as much as a whisper of a cool breeze people would start to proclaim that the world was ending while at the same time ushering the kids outside to see such a rare event. " Aside from being glad that I wasn't burnt alive on the sidewalk, it was the middle of summer, like I was supposed to be. The other major difference was that my insides felt like they were being turned into putty or how it felt like I was exerting far to much force to move all set off some warning bells.

Struggling harder I somehow managed to do the exact opposite of what I wanted, slipped off the rock while slamming a smaller sharper rock into my shoulder blade in the process After a solid 20 minutes of staring at the sky trying to see if the fog that could possibly be on my mind would clear up I tried to jump up and dust myself off.

Key word tried as I went to push up I overshot, almost like my arms got shorter and somehow and ended up almost throwing myself into a tree. "Okay what the heck is going on!" The exclamation was more aimed to myself than anyone else but did help with some of the confusion. Looking down at myself only caused me to gape and question more. Instead of the 5'4 body I was used to a now much shorter more like 4'6 body with lean arms and torn up clothes was all I saw.

Gone was the lab coat and scarf that I had on and they were replaced with rough cotton fabric that was more mud than cloth and shoes that were almost like a slipper if only for the strap on the back to keep in the back of my foot. I honestly don't have a clue with what was going on and if this was some kind of prank than whoever was doing it was going to pay.

This time with much more careful movements I was able stand with the help of the tree besides me, only sticking around for a few seconds. Testing out trying to walk was an interesting experience, I knew that I was a lot shorter but my body refused my brain. After an hour of getting then hang of walking I felt the urge to go to the bathroom. Finding a good bush I settled behind and started to do my business. Looking down the only reaction I could offer was more of a soul leaving my body expression of I had ever seen one. "WHY THE HECK DO I HAVE A PENIS". That was an exclamation of surprise and hope that this was just a really elaborate prank by my co worker but the hope that I had was slowly dwindling.

An hour later and after somehow knocking myself into the river that I swear was at least a mile away I was able to calm down enough to really look around. I for a fact know that I am (was) a 20 something year old woman and not a five year old male. The female to male transition made the most sense at the moment. As someone that was closeted and gender fluid I had been thinking of coming out and going to get surgery for a while now. Really all it took was a few well placed drinks, but the de-ageing and the movement of my person makes no sense.

As a mathematician who worked closely with scientists it is my pride to say that I am well enough educated to know most elements around me even if I miss it at first. As I look around there is a high amount of rocks that have formed as though touched by lava except much longer lasting. There was also amounts of steel and copper inside, almost as though they had been melted directly into the rock. It was also odd that the tell tale signs of pollution whether it be in the river and its lack of trash or the air and the lack of cloudy smog weren't there. Already the world had few places such as this and even less with no population. Deciding to walk the way the river flowed I followed hoping to get to a city. The sky was growing dark and the cold was starting to set in.

Stopping by a rock that was positioned by the river but to the side of the tree I thought was a good enough vantage point I settled down for the night. This doesn't feel right for some reason though. I checked and there was nothing that would indicate animals. The air felt electric and the water felt restless. Hopefully I made it past tonight. I was horribly hungry and by the look of it there should be some berries around here even if I can't find a town.
