Before the sun even arose everyone in the house was already awake.They all wanted to say their goodbyes to their precious family member. Many people in the city threw more stones along the road as the family walked to send off one of their own.
It was a slow walk, taking in the sites in the smells. none of them had tears because it was bad luck to cry the day your family is sent away. They slowly reached their destination and we're about to have to say goodbye. Kasia gave them all hugs many times over. Almost not willing to let go.
But time waits for no one, and the old man came out and said it was time. "Can they watch? please? I want to stay with them even until the last second.."
Kasia pleaded.
The old man waved them to come inside. Once inside they stood near her as she had to go pray once more.
Light filled the room and all was calm.
" You are under the beast goddess care now,
she believes you can help them, I believe you are strong enough. farewell child"
As Kasia lifted her head to look at her family. They looked like they were fading away, everything around her changed. They were slowly just gone. That's when she realized that they weren't fading away. She was the one disappearing. The sound faded and Kasia felt like she was floating. There was nothing but a white nothingness all around her. Before fear could consume her very being a voice surrounded her.
"young one, I believe you can change this world for the better in whichever way you choose. I will leave that up to you. " This voice was much kinder and soft spoken then the one she's been hearing. This voice made her feel at peace.. but how could she change anything?
"Beast Goddess?" Kasia murmured a soft warm breeze brushed past her face as if answering her question. She could feel the calm fading away. "wait!! how can I change anything? where am I going? please tell me what you want me to do!"
The voice that has been surrounding her was now far away but she could clearly make out what it said.
"Follow your heart young one, I will make sure you meet one that will help you understand. "
The voice was slowly fading in the distance
"There are many problems. Just do what you believe to be best and ...." The voice was now gone.
Sound returned to her ears as she started seeing things all around her at an alarming pace. She was about to see her new world. Everything started as a blur and very quickly came into focus.
Kasia's eyes grew incredibly wide at the sight that she saw. " Trees??? weren't these nearly extinct? They grew this big? is this grass? that actually existed??" Kasia was amazed by what she saw. There was nothing like this in her world.
There was movement behind Kasia, she turned around to see a black blur coming toward her.
She was intrigued and amazed, what was that thing?
As much as she wanted to stand there, her instincts took over when the creature got closer and she moved to the side only for something to slice through her skin and cause her to bleed. Now terrified, Kasia started running through the trees as the strange things popping out of the ground scratched at her arms and legs. She thought about her healing house and tried to place it but it didn't work. why????
"why won't it place?? I don't get it! I'm going to die"
Then Kasia came to a clearing in the trees and it was just flat ground. She tried placing the house and it immediately appeared in front of her, it would appear the trees were blocking its placement. She ran inside and fell down fearful that the creature would somehow follow her inside. But as luck would have it, that when she gave away half of her powers to upgrade this home it was really worth it. The creature couldn't see her anymore and he couldn't touch where the home was. It was an invisible wall. Eventually the creature gave up and ran off in a different direction.
That decision saved her life.
Only then did she realize how hurt she became, Kasia
walked to the healing pool and slowly dipped her entire body inside, it didn't take long for all of her wounds to close. Even her clothes were repaired as she sat in the tingling water. All the blood that was caked on her body and clothes were absorbed by the healing pool.
She slowly stepped out of the water and not even a droplet of water was stuck to her skin. She then thanked the pool which made the healing pool glow a soft white after healing all her wounds.
"It's just us huh? I'm surprised they let me have you considering I can't leave things that are alive within my home whenever I put them in my space. Maybe because I made a deal for you? " Kasia murmured with her hands on her chin as she knelt down looking at the water.
"so can you understand me?" The water turned the bright green to yellow and she chuckled, " to think they hid that you could communicate. It makes sense, people would be scared if they knew you could talk back. I guess I'll just have to learn what the colors mean. " The pool turned a bright yellow at her words.
After some careful questions she figured out what the different colors meant. She was happy that she wasn't alone. Even if it was a strange Creature.

Before she left home she filled this place with crystal books so she could read them. Kasia scoured through many books before she found one full of creatures that had one that looked like what had attacked her. It said it was named a black panther.
But why did it attack her? From what is written here is that animals of old were kind. People even used to even raise them. Knowledge was passed down from one method to another, ending on these thin crystal slabs bound together with someone's power that they called books. Some information may have been lost in the translations she thought. But the creatures image was the same so it was worth reading.
After a few hours of looking at books and talking to the healing pool she got a little hungry so she went to one room she used as a storage room and grabbed a small little black sphere and popped in her mouth before heading off to sleep. It had been a very eventful day and she wasn't about to go exploring at night time in the strange place.
Days passed and she made a promise to this healing pool that she would make sure to bring it meals so it wouldn't starve. Except this world seemed very dangerous and she wasn't sure when she would feel settled enough to bring it food.
Each day she would go a little farther along the tree line but stay close enough so she could place her home in a quick fashion if need be. Kasia actually ran into a few more of these beasts of old and each of them seemed to be very aggressive so she would hide until they would leave. Sometimes she would get injured and the healing pool she has since named Aure* would heal her wounds and clean the blood off of her body.
One morning, she heard a thud and carefully went outside and saw a tiny beast of old. Kasia picked it up after assuring herself that it wasn't going to hurt her and brought it inside and placed it with Aure.
It seemed injured but aure wasn't healing it.
She thought maybe he couldn't heal beasts of this world, That's when she noticed the cut on her own foot and placed it in the pool. As her wound healed so did the beast of old. Quickly it moved its limbs and bolted out of the home. They were both surprised that it was healed.
After that Kasia was reading the crystal books until she found what the beast of old was, it was named a sparrow. They were harmless but scared of humans.
"Aure!! you can heal their beasts!! You won't starve!!"
