As I got on the bus i kept getting weird stare from everyone one on board, what have they never seen a kid by themselves, damn now that I look at it, it looks like I ran away from home shit.
After the awkward bus ride I got off at a stop near a mountain with an hour as the bus leaves I start to climb this behemoth of a mountain and after 20 minutes I think imma pass out cause damn and I'm barely half way and I don't think I'm gonna make it another 10 minute as I'm crawling on the floor to get half way there I see a cave which is a god send.
As I make my way inside I sit at the far end of the cave as I sit I'm crossed leg contemplating about curse energy. Curse energy is all the resentment turned into energy all that sadness, pain, regret, hate, loneliness, shame and all the negative stuff.
During contemplation I start thinking about my negativity the pain I went through, all that loneliness for who knows how long, and I can't forget the pain and fear of being burn alive as more and more curse energy is coming through my whole body I start to lose control of it.
As I lose control the cave starts to become unstable as the more negative thoughts flow through my mind the cave starts to get hotter and hotter as the cave starts shake some of the rocks hit me in the head snapping me out of the depressing thoughts as I realize I'm losing control I yell out "Ahhh shit Metis Auto Mode!!!".

As Ash yells "Ahhh shit Metis Auto Mode!!!" Ash's face become totally emotionless, his eyes which were once normal but beautiful purple eyes become more and more like crystals gaining a more red coloring and his pupils gain a strange hexagon shape signifying Great Sage gaining control.
Slowly but surely after getting all the curse energy under control Metis gives up the control slowly so Ash can get a feel for it and slowly make that control his with the power of great sage which gives him parallel thinking he gives one of those thought control over his curse energy while the other thought was more focus what's around as he finally gains control of his curse energy the cave starts collapsing with him in it.
BOOOOOOM!!!!!
As the cave collapsed dust was thrown everywhere as the dust finally settled down the only noise that can be heard are the sound of a small chick.
Cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep!!!!!!

'Shit,shjt,shit,shit I got think of something quick' while this was going on i try using great sage to think of multiple ways to escape this after many thought I come to only one conclusion im too small to to reach the exit so the only thing to do is to transform as the cave was collapse I turned into a small bird.
Thank God I was small since due to my size I was able to fit in places I couldn't and escape from getting harm. After the dust settle I try to fly but it's difficult since I haven't tried it before as I look down I realized I'm so freaking small all I saw was tiny black and purple feathers
"The fuck why am I so tiny I thought I would be a majestic phoenix not a flipping humming bird damn it I gotta flap my tiny wings so fast so I can actually fly" I look down again on what I thought would be my majestic body only to see this.
'This not fair' I thought as I shed some manly tears. After transforming back I realized I still had my clothes on which would mean even when I transformed I still kept my clothes which is fantastic but just cause the weren't damaged doesn't me they are cleaned sighing I go and reach for the bag that I kept outside cave just in case and slug it over my shoulder
As I walk around trying to find a pound so I can clean myself and get changed. After skinny dipping I thought about what to do now about abilities and how to upgrade them and how to make new sets of skills. After thinking about for a while I decided to leave it for the future Ash.
He should know what to do and how to do it. Now that I have my curse energy and technique I can work on other stuff such as money and getting a sword and learning kendo after a boys first love is always a sword
