"So you've finally accepted everything?" He asked, a smile slowly forming.
"Yes, I admit. Are you now happy?" I responded back with a small sigh but I said those words with honesty, I crossed my arms over my chest as my wings stayed together, feathers slightly fluttering from the wind.
I looked upon countless of trees, the tree I'm sitting on being the tallest. I'm accompanied by a certain mysterious man sitting right beside me on the same branch, him being merely an inch away from coming in contact with my large wings.
We decided to meet up once again, this spot is usually our meeting place. We are currently having a conversation as we watched the beautiful scenery.
"I'm relieved. I can finally say "Welcome to the world, Miya." to you." He looked at me, his eyes half lidded as if sleepy and the corner of his lips lifting up to form a small smirk. It doesn't look like he's mocking. In fact, he looked quite happy but lazy.
"Well I appreciate you for saying that." I said and he released a brief laugh.
The first time I opened my eyes again in this world, Instead of the moon, I was greeted by a suspicious man. He had introduced himself and somehow, He said that He is the moon.
I would have believed him when he said he was the moon, for the white hair and nearly silver colored eyes that he has and the immensely majestic appearance and unmistakable powerful presence that he possesses.
But I wasn't that deranged, so I slapped him away and oh boy, the man who looked chill and sleepy turned to a hurt, now very wide awake man.
I almost felt sorry, almost. Because I'm in an unfamiliar place with no knowledge on how I got there in the first place. The suspicious person that I was with might be my own kidnapper and might be actually plotting my demise.
The last thing I remember was minding my own business by the lake with countless fireflies quietly flying around in the surroundings, it's so quiet it makes you fall asleep if it weren't for the fact that the surroundings are breathtaking while you bathe in the moonlight.
And after all that, I can't remember even a single thing except for the luminous moon in it's full glory.
Somehow, He had convinced me that he's entirely harmless, at least to me.
The day I discovered the fact that my eyes had turned color red, I was so frightened to the point of transforming into something different, I guess the sudden burst of emotions caused me a change.
I turned to a goddamned raven, and it isn't a common thing.
I don't know how, but I did. That moment made me doubt everything, thinking all of it was a dream. But it was all too realistic to be what I thought of, and I also am not the type to stay doubtful for too long.
I have read more than enough fiction about the same situation I'm in. It's certainly fantasy. It could be an isekai reincarnation or whatnot.
After a few more days and weeks after I opened my eyes to a new environment, I have discovered new people who are the same as me.
They can turn into animals at will,
Just like me.
All of them are males though,
But they don't have the same situation as mine, they are not human beings who are unknowingly brought here for mysterious reasons.
I guess they're... Monsters? Not in a way to insult them but more like I'm trying to say that they are similar to a skinwalker rip off or werewolf? Maybe demi-humans will do too.
Calling them hybrids wouldn't explain the whole thing and it's just plain stupid.
The world I'm in is certainly not Earth, everything is put on a stone age-like setting of an era,
But more on the fantasy genre side.
I've thought long about it and one thing came to mind,
This might be a beast world.
I'm not certain if it's a novel or a story that I somehow travelled in just like in those Fictions I've read. In most beast world novels I've read, it usually has the plot of "Overpopulated male world" and females are rapidly decreasing to near extinction, they have to have many males as much as possible.
If beastmen here find out about my rogue existence, especially that I'm definitely a female who might be actually homeless, they might force me to have a harem or give suggestions to me with such intensity and seriousness.
In the worse case scenario, I might encounter the type of ferals that are dangerous and merciless. I have to prepare myself about that, I certainly don't want to become a baby machine for those rotten men.
The thought of it makes me shudder.
"What are you thinking about, Hm?" He calmly hummed in thought, gently nudging me and I looked at his direction, blinking twice before I snapped out of it, getting frightened at our closeness and accidentally making my wings spread like a startled chicken.
In result, he got slapped away by my right wing, literally getting yeeted away from me.
Dumbfounded, I watched him disappear into the many small trees that are positioned right below and silence befell upon me for what felt like eternity before I heard a rustling at my left and I glanced toward the direction and there I saw him ruffling his hair to get rid of the dirt, branches and leaves that had gotten stuck.
"I'm so sorry.."
"I'm alright, You might have to... Put away those wings next time."
I immediately made my wings disappear, as if it's never there in the first place and I stood up, careful not to fall while walking toward him.
I inspected him for injury and I didn't notice his half lidded eyes watching my every move like a hawk.
Thank goodness I didn't hurt him that much.
I sighed in relief after making sure before taking a few steps back and I sat back down and he did the same thing, though this time our knees are touching.
"How are you and your Raven friends?" He asked calmly.
"Oh those beast people? They... Took me into their tribe, they aren't Ravens like me though." I answered.
"I suppose they are Crows?" He asked again and I nodded.
"If you're worrying, stop it. They're kind to me, maybe except for a few, some of them doesn't accept me as a tribe member because of my differences. My wings are just more bigger and My color is just more pitch black, nothing near jet black colored feathers, but what's wrong with that?"
"Females cannot transform into their animal forms, don't-"
"I'm aware of that." I told him softly. "As I've said earlier, stop worrying. I don't have a death wish, alright? Not a single soul saw me transform or saw me spread my wings out while in human form."
"It's a relief." He said before leaning his head ontop of mine, I don't want to get stiff so I settled my head onto his shoulder.
"Hey."
"Hm?" He hummed.
"Let me sleep for a moment, don't move." I mumbled before closing my eyes.
"That's... my line." He said but never made a move to stop me.
