Chrysalis

Chapter 81

Consciousness slowly returns by drips, a tiny thought falling on top of a little sensation until my mind pools together and I awake.

HOOGEDAH!

Whoa!

For some reason I feel like I was deep under that time! I technically don't actually sleep so fully losing my awareness is becoming more and more strange to me. The sensation of actually 'waking up' is starting to feel unnerving.

The next thing to hit me is…

Ah! Everything feels weird!

My body is larger, my brain is different, I have new organs and my carapace feels strange!

This sensation is really weird Gandalf!

I mean, it was bad the first time but this evolution has been a much larger change overall!

Especially the brain! The feeling of having more brain than before is so strange I can't even properly define it. It's like I can think…. More? I feel as if I'm constantly thinking about the flow of energy in my core (which is almost empty) even when I'm not thinking about it…

So weird.

The other thing is the sharp increase in size! Last time I spend my might on half size, half density so my change in height and length was not quite as pronounced as it is this time. It's hard to estimate clearly but I think my size has increased by about thirty percent? It's a lot!

I take a moment to stretch out my legs and wiggle each of my three body segments, just trying to become accustomed to the new me.
