#3 of Credence

Edited, still need to edit more. I switched the lab portions to only chapter one and the parts with Ariana into chapter two, seems to make more sense that way.

More will kick up in chapters 3 and 4. 3 will be another short with mostly the lab leading into the new world, and 4 will officially engage Ariana in the plot.


Groggily she rolled over onto her stomach and got on all fours, suddenly feeling sick but managing to keep her stomach in check as she raised herself to her knees and opened her gold and green reptilian eyes. Everything was blurry and her head felt like someone was driving a nail through her skull as she rubbed her temple absentmindedly scratching her ear and then a sudden realization hit her.....where was her ear?

She felt all around her head and only found an ear lobe, wasn't she supposed to have pointed ears? Along the top of her head she noticed a distinct lack of hair and wondered why her head felt so leathery almost, and horns? A snout, everything smelled so much more intense, and what the heck was that tickling feeling behind her. Looking over her shoulder and reaching behind at whatever was itching she grabbed ahold of something somewhat round and as leathery as her head, and she could feel it. Pulling it to her side it was definitely a tail with a spaded looking tip, and the spade would extend and retract like the fins of a fish.

Thoroughly confused she dropped her tail and as her eyes came into focus she realized that her chest was much larger than she expected. Did they make her character that buff? She took her chest in both hands and found that they were squishy, and she couldn't feel the muscle in there. Confused the pulled the collar of her cloth and saw that it wasn't muscle, they were breasts, and very real breasts. Not large by any means but very noticable.

Then there was something else very wrong, she could see down her blue tinted green stomach and there was a definite lack of anything resembling male parts, there was nothing there. Her heart started racing at this point and she pulled the bottom of the cloth up and looked down to find that she was definitely a she. Wasn't this supposed to be a video game? She had complete access to seeing her character nude, and could feel everything as she noticed another cool breeze made her nethers feel overly cool and quickly pulled the cloth back down to cover herself up."What did they do to me? I thought I was supposed to be a male el.....oh great that too?"

Her voice was so much different it felt strange coming from her mouth, and sounded a little deeper than an average woman and raspy like she had something caught in her throat and the shape of her forked tongue made her almost hiss out certain sounds, but she felt just fine and was sure that was just the way her voice was. She had the impulse to touch herself down there out of curiosity but decided it might be better not to if the developers were watching. She didn't want to get in trouble so she tried her best to keep herself decent when she stood up, distinctly aware of her tail adjusting on its own for balance.

Three toes, and claws. The claws felt just like normal toenails but a bit longer and a lot thicker, and sharp. They dug into the earth easily. There was what felt like a fourth toe, a big toe, but it was almost on her ankle and quite useless. Maybe at some point through the generations that'll become an actual toe as well. Her legs were mostly normal except that her ankle was a lot longer and raised, her heel feeling high in the air and looked a little like digigrade legs. The rest of her body was mostly human in shape, forest green scales covered her body tinted blue and even purple in places especially along her snout and faded along her belly.

Her fingers were webbed and had the same claws at their tips, just like her feet. There was what looked like a thick needle along her fore-arms and when she pulled on it it opened up to another fin. THe air caught something similar on her head and as she felt she found that she had fins behind her jaw and one along her head that stopped at the back of her skull and somewhat reminded her of a mohawk and in places along her forearms and legs the blue tint turned to slightly purple. The same coloring ran down the center of her back to tail tip.

Getting a grasp of her new self she looked around. In one direction was an immense forest that seemed to stretch on endlessly to either horizon almost like the trees stopped growing at an invisible wall. In the opposite direction short growing grass faded into sparse patches and then nothing but dry cracked dirt stretching on in the hazy horizon. Right were she stood was an obvious trail that led towards this desert, and it didn't continue on in the other direction towards the forest. Obviously the developers meant to go into the desert, and besides most games didn't just throw you into a forest with nothing but sparse cloth at the start right?

Thinking this was the best option she followed the trail towards the desert. Her bare feet leaving the soft comfort of grass and soon stepping on rough dry dirt which quickly left her feet dry and cracked. Step after step, the sun never faltering in it's enldless onslaught of torturous heat beating down on her scales, she walked. Minutes, hours, there was no way to guage the time. This was a new world, as far as she could tell it was still high noon, but wasn't it that time when she started? No that couldn't be, it must've been morning.

It didn't take long for the need for water to flood her mind. Swimming, drinking, fishing, the thoughts would come and pass as dreams in mid sleep but the growing thirst and ever drying mouth kept on. Off in the distance she could see something, it looked like water, and in her haste to quench her thirst a simple rock caught her foot. Too weak and dilerious to even comprehend what was happening and why the world was falling she hit the ground with a solid thud. Dust caked her mouth and she futily coughed it up as blackness consumed her.

Dirt, the heat, Jon's head suddenly felt like someone was driving a hammer into both sides of her skull and her mouth felt like someone had stuffed dirt in face and tried to force-feed it to her. Something wet and cool dabbed at her face and the top of her head, and it felt heavenly against the blistering heat.

Quickly she was aware she was bouncing around on some soft things and she smelled wood. Finally opening her eyes it looked like she might be in the back of a covered wagon, and a female lizard like herself was dabbing her head with a wet cloth. The two locked eyes for a moment and then the lizard gal spoke with a soft and clear voice.

"We found you passed out on the road and decided to help. We don't see many Shirat like ourselves out in the desert, what were you thinking walking the expanse in nothing but a grain sack?"

Jon made to ask something but was interrupted by a series of coughs and how dry her mouth was, making her headache double.

"wa......water....."

Barely able to even croak out a plea for water the female lifts a water skin to her muzzle and starts pouring it in her mouth. Jon greedily snatches it from her hands and starts gulping it as fast as possible making herself choke in the process as the female tears it from her grasp.

"You're going to make yourself sick, no more for now till you recover a little more. Would you like to sit up?"

"Yes please."

The female nudged Jon to sit up and she stuffed some more soft things behind her and let her lay back in an reclined position. Looking down at herself Jon noticed she was wearing a blue dress that seemed to accentuate her breasts and fit snug to her form. It actually felt really soft and comfy.

"I'm sorry if you're offended, I cleaned you up and put one of my dresses on you so you wouldn't be stuck in that thing anymore."

She pointed over to where her only garment she came in with was sitting in a basket with other clothing. Sitting up a little more Jon had to adjust herself so her tail lay flat stretched out between her legs.

"Thankyou, I don't have any way to pay you for the dress."

"Don't worry about it it's yours now you keep it, now what were you doing out here alone and with nothing but the sack for clothing?"

Jon had to think for a moment. He couldn't just say I just started the game and didn't know where to go so she had to come up with some sort of story.

"I was captured by some humans and they wanted me to do lewd things and I refused so they eventually dumped me in the desert to die."

The look of shock on the female's face was almost comical as she have a gasp and put a hand to her face.

"Oh gods....they didn't.....do anything did they?"

Jon shook her head and sighed.

"No they just made put that thing on and took everything I had."

"Well you're safe with us and it looks like you'll be fine. My name is Sarsha."

Crap, Jon thought. He had to give himself a name. He had one ready to go for the character they were going to set him up with but that was a male name and he needed a female name. It didn't take long though and in a moment one popped into his head.

"I'm Ariana, so where are we going I've never been around here?"

"We're going to the river city and then take a ship across the lake and then eventually home. You're welcome to stay with us till then."

"I'd appreciate that thankyou so much, for everything."

"It's nothing, it'll be nice to have someone to talk to anyway on this long trip.
