Chereads / Evanescent Bloodlines: They're All Gathering Souls from Another World / Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: ...and I Transformed into a Woman!

Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: ...and I Transformed into a Woman!

The wind howled loudly and the clouds spun in a glowing red spiral. The ritual had failed. Something mysterious is happening. Oshose lies there unconscious, his hand lying flat atop the tall grass.

He opens his eyes and lifts himself to his feet. Walking over to the lake, Oshose sees his reflection in the glistening crimson water. But his body is different. It has more curvature, his boots are up to his thighs, his hair is much longer and straight, his jaw is less pointed, his ears are pointed like an elf's, and his breasts are more defined than they should be for males. Oshose is a woman? He looks down at his body and realizes this.

Oshose screamed so loud that the simulated birds flew away. "What happened?" exclaimed Oshose. "Why am I a woman now?" He hears an eerie noise in his head, like the feedback of an intercom.

"But you've always been a woman," echoed the voice of the female demon in Oshose's head.

Meanwhile, in an undisclosed location. A female demon sits while wearing a headset. There's a name tag pinned on the upper left breast portion of her white dress shirt. It says, "Emilia N…is". Her last name was partially covered by the glare of light.

Oshose is hypnotized by the words of Emilia. "I've always been a woman," repeated Oshose in a daze.

"Good, now stop worrying," said Emilia in Oshose's head in a soothing tone.

"Okay," responded Oshose robotically.

Solrac is in the control room watching the whole thing. He smirks a bit. "So, she did it, huh?" said Solrac, pleased.

"Yup," responded Nicosal cheerfully. They both stand there proud. Xavier barges in the door to the control room.

"I'd like to come with you to 'see' him," pleaded Xavier desperately.

"Pfft, really?" mocked Solrac as he looked back at Xavier. "I thought you were dead." Xavier stepped forward and put his hand on his chest.

"How could you say that to one of your own?" asked Xavier hesitantly.

"One of my own?" scoffed Solrac. "You're nothing more than a tool, Xavier."

"You're a disgrace to the Seven," yelled Xavier. "Whatever," said Solrac coldly. "I'm running it." "I'm going," complained Xavier as he stormed out the door in anger. "So?" continues Solrac as he shrugged. "Why should I care?"

Nicosal walked up to Solrac. "I'll go talk to him," said Nicosal softly.

"Really? Why?" laughed Solrac. "Don't be a dick, Solrac," said Nicosal blankly. Nicosal walked away in the direction that Xavier went.

Oshose looked around confused. "What's my name?" asked Oshose calmly.

"Esohso…?" said Emilia hesitantly.

"Really?" asked Oshose dumbly.

"Yes," barked Emilia annoyed. A strange electrifying occurs again. Just like that, he regains consciousness.

"I am Oshose," insisted Oshose, planting his feet on the ground firmly.

"No, you're Esohso", argued Emilia.

"Shut up!!" yelled Oshose, covering his ears defiantly.

"How the hell is he fighting it?" thought Emilia.

Oshose regains consciousness. "Oh no you don't," thought Emilia. She tries harder to control Oshose's mind.

Thoughts start to spiral in Oshose's head. "You are a woman,"

"You are Esohso,"

"You are a woman,"

"You are Esohso,"

"You are a woman,"

"You are Esohso,"

"You are a woman,"

"You are Esohso,"

"You are a woman,"

"You are Esohso,"

"You are a woman,"

"You are Esohso,"

"You are a woman,"

"You are Esohso,"

"You are a woman,"

"You are Esohso,"

"You are a woman,"

"You are Esohso."

Oshose blacks out again. Moments from his past lingered in his mind.

"Do you think you can change our society?", asked Ecniv mockingly. "Fucking dumbass." Oshose points at Ecniv with a serious look on his face.

"Shut the hell up, you cocky bastard! I'm a higher rank than you," insisted Oshose with his whole body shaking in anger. "Of course, I can change it."

Ecniv slams his fist on the ground, and it cracks a bit. "This is the way it has always been!!" yelled Ecniv with tears running down his cheeks. "You may be a higher rank than I am, but you simply cannot go defending the failures," cried Ecniv with a low volume. "They must learn," continues Ecniv, now confidently. Oshose gets up, walks over to Ecniv, and stomps the ground right next to his head. The ground cracks significantly more than when Ecniv punched the ground. "What do you know? Let's say that you're right," pouted Oshose passive-aggressively. "You're the one with the ego the size of hell and nothing to show for it. But what do I know?" He locked eyes with the still-crying Ecniv on the floor.

"Ugh…" moaned Oshose, confused. He gets up and walks over to the lake. Oshose looks up at the red-glowing sky with determination.

Emilia panics I'm her seat. She squirms in her chair, fearing the worst. Her boots tap the ground anxiously. Emilia bites her claws and even changes her cross-legged sitting position from left to right. "Shit, I've got to tell Solrac," said Emilia nervously. She heard Oshose's voice on the headset and looked over and put it back on her head.

Oshose stands triumphantly in the water and looks up at the sky. "My name is Oshose, and I transformed into a woman," said Oshose confidently, with a determined look on his face. "I've yet to master this power."

"Huh–what?!" exclaimed Emilia in her head. "He's much dumber than I thought." She walks away out the door, leaving her headset around her neck.

Behind the closed doors at the top of the stairs, Solrac and Nicosal are sitting at the table in the conference room. A latex-clad dog gimp demon sits on the floor chained by a leash at Solrac's feet. "Arrff!" barks the masochistic latex gimp with excitement. Solrac sits at the end of the table with a smirk on his face.

"It looks like not everyone is here," said Solrac blankly as he put his hands together on the table like a cliché villain. "That's fine, I can wait." Solrac leaned back in his chair and looked at us. "Emilia should be finishing tormenting Oshose soon," thought Solrac with a giddy look on his face. "It's almost time to go," said Solrac slightly cheerfully. "Are there any questions before we leave?" He looks at Nicosal for a brief moment. Nicosal looks back at Solrac, returning the cheerful expression.

"None," said Nicosal.

"Good," responded Solrac relieved. The collar on the gimp's neck says "Reldaris".

"Then let us go visit him," said Reldaris, excited, being muffled by his latex dog mask. Solrac looked down at Reldaris with disgust and anger in his eyes. Solrac slaps Reldaris' face. The dog-gimp whimpers like a submissive dog. "I just meant that since the others aren't likely to show up anytime soon–" Reldaris was interrupted by Solrac's shoe kicking his face. Shattering the dog-gimp's jaw for a moment before he healed. "As I was saying–" Solrac was quickly interrupted by someone barging through the conference room door. "Sir, please allow me to go with you!" pleaded Xavier. "I can be of good use in disposing of Oshose for you." Solrac gets up out of his chair and begins walking toward Xavier. Xavier shivers and shakes as Solrac gets closer. "So? Will you reconsider–?" Solrac kicked Xavier down on the ground and stopped his face in with his leather dress shoe. He lowers his head to him. "No," whispered Solrac as he continues grinding his heel into Xavier's face. Emilia barges into the room. She walks closer and gets in Solrac's face with a childish grimace on her face. "Allow me to punish this rude one," requested Emilia with a devious tone. Solrac took his foot off Xavier.

"Certainly," said Solrac with an upbeat tone. "Don't take too long. We have a meeting to get back to, Emilia." Emilia suddenly steps on Xavier's face with her high-heeled boot.

"This is what you get, you little bitch," whispered Emilia to Xavier. She begins unlacing her right thigh-high boot while stomping Xavier with the left. "This is for me too, you know," whispered Emilia deviously. "You'd better know your place, trash. I own you." Emilia stands back up and continues stepping on him. She takes off her right foot and puts her lime green stocking clad in Xavier's face. Solrac gets up out of his chair. "That's enough punishment for this meeting", interrupted Solrac, annoyed. "Let's get back on topic."

"If you went any farther, this would have been considered hentai," said Nicosal. Emilia takes her foot off Xavier and grabs her right boot, walks over, and takes a seat. She starts putting her boot back on. Everyone sits back down at the table.

"I know she's abusive, toxic, and hates me. But why did I love that so much?" thought Xavier while blushing on the floor. A portal opens in the back of the room on the wall.

"We leave in an hour, take a break until then," barked Solrac like a drill sergeant. "Prepare yourselves, or whatever."
