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!

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!
