"As Alen approached the town in which she called home, she thought to herself, "How will I explain this to everyone? How will they react?" I want to know why she is acting so nonchalant about this whole predicament. Looks like we are going to have to explore Chapter 3: The Return Home." Elle stated as she turned the page of the book, and started reading the text.
Alen gazed about the town heading toward her state of residence. The people within her home town looked at her in question.
"Who is that? Why is she here? What business does she have with Eri?" They murmured. All of these questions and more were asked by the crowd.
Alen looked down embarrassed at all of this, she was not used to the attention she was receiving. She stepped closer to her home spotting her mother. She quickly ran up to her and hugged her.
"Mom, I'm home!" Alen exclaimed gleefully.
Alen's mother looked at the strange girl in front of her. "Can I help you, young lady?" She asked nicely.
Shocked that her own mother did not recognize her, Alen tried to explain the situation. "Mom, its me, Alen, your son! Grenseal and I went to the cave that was being searched a while ago. After a while he left and I was really curious so I touched the alter inside. Then there was this really bright light, and when my vision cleared. I looked like this."
Alen's mother still looked at the girl questionably wondering if it is true.
"Your name is Eri Anikemi. You married my father twenty years ago on the date of your first meeting. I was born eighteen years ago on the 9th day of the emerald month." Alen commented quickly.
Eri blinked in surprise. "Y-You really are my son... but I don't understand.."
"I don't understand it myself, mom. It has been a strange day." Alen said.
"I'd imagine... lets go inside and see if we can figure something out... as well as get away from the crowd." Eri said soothingly. Accepting this change happily. She had always wanted a daughter instead of a son.
Later on that night. Eri had Alen stand on a stool in a light white robe as she did measurements to help her daughter's clothing predicament.
