Ellie opened her eyes, expecting to be lying on the ground somewhere, heavily injured. She didn't see the truck, the bridge, or even that stupid gecko. All she saw was mist, the kind of mist that covers everything, even yourself.
Ding~
She heard a gentle bell, and she felt herself be pulled forward abruptly, almost tripping in the process, but something stopped her from falling over, or moving at all really. She could only move her head. That's when she noticed she was in a line of some sort, apparently waiting her turn to get to wherever she was going.
'Reincarnation?' she wondered, 'It's not like I had anything too amazing in my last life, except that pot of chili maybe.'
That's when she noticed that all the creatures in front of her in line were really small.
'Are those lizards?'
'Are you kidding me? How the hell did I end up in a lizard reincarnation line!'
Ding~
The bell in the distance grew louder, and she moved again.
'If I'm here, does that mean that stupid lizard is in the line where I'm supposed to be?' She chuckled a little and imagined the reactions of the humans in that line when they had to wait behind a lizard.
She waited, getting closer to the source of the bell with every passing minute, and soon, she started to see a warm orange glow coming through the fog in front of her.
Eventually, she made it to the front of the line, expecting to see some sort of deity, or judge. What she saw instead was a big metallic machine, with a glowing orange screen on top of it.
The machine scanned her, and small words popped up on the screen. She leaned in closer to try and read them.

Ellie opened her eyes, and sighed. 'I'm starting to get tired of blacking out' She looked around, but couldn't seem to see anything. 'Where am I this time?'
Ding~
A glowing blue screen popped up in front of her, making her twitch in fright. She probably would've jumped backwards, but something was preventing her from moving too far in any direction.

Eat your way out of your egg
Quest rewards: 1 quest point
'What is this? I know I like eating, but I don't want to eat a gross raw eggshell!'
Eventually, she gave in, since she had to get out of the egg somehow.
'Whatever, I better get this over with, I don't really know how valuable these quest points are anyways.'
Reluctantly, Ellie started to scratch the bits of eggshell she could reach with her tiny arms, and shove them in her mouth. thankfully, it seems like her tastes changed along with her race, since it actually tasted quite good, kind of like a crunchy cream cracker of some kind.
'What am I, anyways? I look like some sort of small alligator.'
Eventually, she broke through the shell, and got a look outside, but all she could see was that the egg was placed in a cave of some sort, and it was a bit too dark to see the cave walls properly.
