Mystic Murmurs (Secret Santa Chesnaught TF)
----------------------------------------------------

You’ve just moved to the small city of Nacrene. Being so used to living in larger cities. You thought

it might be a good idea to live closer to nature. And with Pinwheel forest so nearby. You could at

the very least experience what it’s like to try and connect with nature.

Who knows you might somehow get inspired with what you want to do with your life.

Though something strange happened on your first night of sleep. Strange whispers in your dreams.

‘Come...’
‘Find me...’

Followed by a vision of a deep forest. With a strange chestnut shaped relic on a pedestal. It looks
really old.
You are curious about that strange dream. Though you cast it away as just a dream the following
day.

It’s been several days since you’ve had that dream. You haven’t really had the time to go to the
forest yet. Or you haven’t made time for it anyway.

When suddenly you hear the whispers again. This time during the day.

‘Come…’
‘Find me...’

Followed again by that same vision of the forest with a strange chestnut shaped relic.

You get startled by it. Getting convinced that it wasn’t just a strange dream. You decide to go to
the forest tomorrow.

That night you dream again.

‘Come…’
‘Find me...’
‘Follow the path…’

This time following a path through the forest. Until you reach the place with the relic again.

That next morning you finally go to Pinwheel forest. In hopes of find out what that voice and place
was in your visions was.

You spend the entire morning walking around the forest to no avail.

You can find nothing around there that looks like the path that you took in your dream.

Just when you were about to give up. You hear it again.

‘Come…’
‘Find me...’
‘Follow the path…’
‘Follow the light…’

And you see a path glow softly glowing green in a denser part of the forest. You follow that path
soon starting to recognize the path from your dream.

You go deeper and deeper. The forest only growing more dense. As it grows more dense the
natural light gets darker and darker. Luckily you can follow the green lights to move deeper inside.

Finally after what feels like hours. You reach the small clearing of your dreams. Seeing the old
chestnut shaped relic.

You walk up towards it. Inspecting it without touching the relic. It seems really old. It might fall
apart if you touch it.

‘Touch it…’

You hear the whisper again. The relic starts glowing a warm green light as you hear that.

You mull it over for a bit. Then decide to touch it anyway. No point in getting this far only to give
up right?

As you touch it you’re enveloped in a bright warm light shimmering with green.

You feel a strange power surging through your veins. As the essence of the relic courses within
you.

Your hands and arms start to glow. You raise them up and see the soft green glow intensifying.
Wrapping your hands in a cocoon of light.

Feeling your hands changing inside the light. Fingers merging, arms and hands growing thicker.

The light bursts out into small particles. Uncovering your new arms. Covered in a thick shell-like
armour. Light green on the outside, beige on the inside. With your fingers having merged into 3
brown claws.

Your clothing shimmers and morphs. Covered in the same green light. You feel them growing
heavier as they merge and shift into a large chestnut-like shell around your body. The light
bursting out as two large spikes grow from the back.

With the light dispersed you can see the beige and light green shell with a red outline around you.

It has two small spikes at the front with two larger ones on the back.

The light now wraps around your legs and feet. Feeling the same foreign feeling as with your arms.

As they too grow thicker. Toes also merging together. You’re surprised as a new feeling grows. The
starting to light extends your spine.

Soon the light burst out. Revealing your new lower body. Legs and feet covered in the same tough
beige shell-like armour. Toes merged into three brown claws.

The most surprising thing is your new tail. It’s long and also covered in the shell-like armour. Light
green at the top and beige at the bottom.

You try to give it an experimental wag. Feeling the strange new appendage move at your
command. It somehow feels.. nice.

The light covers your body and head. Feeling fur growing onto your face and chest. The hair on
your head shrinks down into a plate of your new armour.

Then the light bursts out for the last time. Revealing your white chest and facial fur. Your whole
body is now covered in the shell-like armour.

Though there is one thing missing from your change as a single green particle lands on your nose.

Turning it into a cute small pink nose.

The light around you disperses completely. Showing your new form as a Chesnaught. You inspect
your new form with great curiosity. Trying out your new limbs and feeling your shell and fur.

Is.. Is this permanent...? You wonder. “If you want it to be!” A voice responds. You see a Chespin
pops their head out from where the relic once lay.

You stumble back. Almost falling backwards on your unfamiliar legs. Though you manage to keep
yourself from falling.

Confused and surprised you ask the Chespin who they are.

“Me? I’m the keeper of the relic you’ve absorbed! I’ve been asleep here. Waiting for someone like
you!~” They smile.

Keeper of the relic? Something so small? You hardly believe them. Then again now that you think
about it. They do sound like the whispers you’ve been hearing.

You ask them about the whispers. If they called you here.

“Hmmhmm, That was me~” They respond, nodding.

They don’t seem inclined to explain why they did it.

You’re kind of taken back by their attitude and this whole situation.

You still have so many questions. But maybe.. maybe this is the change you’ve been waiting for in
your life.
