I opened my eyes, but I was a cat. It took me a moment to remember what was going on, but then I remembered jumping into the looking glass. I was back in her world again, but something was wrong.
I couldn't transform back into my normal body because I was completely out of Astral Energy. I seemed to be able to pull some to me, but the stream was incredibly weak. This was not good, but not the end of the world. Tallia was still a little girl, and it would take me quite a few years to gain what I needed.
I looked around, and I was in the forest that was not far from the village. I had hunted in this place most of my life, but the things in here were not your normal beasts. Riftwalker Spawn and Brood drifted up from a blood witch den that was over a hundred miles away.
That was the purpose of my coming to this world, but now I would have to defend these people until I could get stronger. I had not planned on being stuck in a cat form.
