Birth of a Goddess

[Raleigh]

I will make it rather obvious I am only bending space I think. I expect though I can only pull this once as the next time he will expect an actual foot race or similar. I suppose that time I'll have to rely on one of those sage's footsteps techniques.

"It's easy, child." Cosmos said reassuringly, "The power is within you. All you have to do is release it, and use it to reshape the world to your will."

Right... *After a moment, Flo places a hand on Light's shoulder and closes her eyes. He soon feels a surge of energy go through his body, as his body begins to change. His hair grows out and turns blonde, wrapping itself into a ponytail, while at the same time he drops a couple inches in height. His eyes turn blue, and his skin becomes smooth and loses most of its body hair. His chest swells, his hips expand - a tug at his groin soon confirms a change in sex.

His clothes don't escape either, softening to become less armor-like. The pants come together, shifting color to become a tan skirt. The top also changes to color to a light brown, its neckline dropping while tree-like designs begin to line the sleeves and bottom of the thing. His boots then transform into a pair of plain leather sandals, wrapping things up. The result - a beautiful, if perhaps plainly dressed, young woman.*

Cosmos clapped happily while Light simply gaped.

"Excellent use of power." She complimented, "Now, let's see...you are a goddess of war as well, no? This also makes you a great warrior."

[Ookalf]

Really? I always thought I was more of a healer than a fighter...

[Bigmouthstrikes]

"That was before you became a goddess, child." She said, "A goddess must always be well versed in anything that she represents. As a representative of war, you must be a warrior. Try for a moment to concentrate on your new skills."

[Ookalf]

If you say so... *Flo closes her eyes again and tries to think about things like fighting and weapons.*

[Bigmouthstrikes]

As she does so, she finds that she has a brilliant skill in almost every form of armnament imaginable. She's a little weak on throwing stars and the smashy spike shields that a nearby jungle tribe called "budukus", but otherwise, her prowess in combat has become enormous. Additionally, she learns innately that she can transform normal people into warriors, and bless them with skill and abilities. These recruits would become knights to fight in her honor and when combined with her power of beauty, could be reshaped however they had to be.

[Ookalf]

*Flo opens her eyes with a start.* Wow... I didn't even know I knew half of that.

[Bigmouthstrikes]

Cosmos smiled. "Alright. For our next tests, I think we may have to leave this realm. Would you like to discover your new powers over nature?"

[Ookalf]

That sounds pretty good, actually.

[Bigmouthstrikes]

"Wonderful!" She said.

She waved her hand, and the trio found themselves in a lovely forest.

"Now, the powers of the nature Goddess should grant you several abilities." She said, "You should have complete control over growing plants and animals, as well as control over their actions. You could snare people in vines, or command an army of birds, or the like. It also gives you the ability to return the artificial or human world to the natural one and turn humans and technology into elements of nature."

[Ookalf]

Elements of nature... You mean, like plants and stuff?
