I felt the familiar sensation of shifting. My tail turned back into two legs and I felt it tearing the fabric of my skirt. My hair got longer and longer and turned from blue to a shining gold. I looked at the surface of the water and saw my same green eyes and stripes that had gotten slightly darker.
In a sense, it was a relief to be my old self again.
Although now there also was no doubt about me. I was Princess Lit and fugitive Lit. From now on I wasn't hiding from that.
I could hear voices calling out from the mouth of the tunnel. I had a good hiding spot and luckily I left no trails to be followed. I watched silently as Licnine got out of their boats and spread out in a search party.
Thankfully the path to the Lyrra seemed to be clear for now.
I didn't try to hide quite as much as I walked toward their huge home. I didn't intend to steal anything.
I was going to talk to them.
