Chapter 17: Chapter 16: Testing Things Out

Lia was having a hard time getting used to her new form. It wasn’t that it was hard to move in or uncomfortable or anything like that, but that she kept seeing glances of her fur in the corner of her vision and thinking something else was there.

She had a hard time getting a grasp on how the fur actually looked. It looked pretty enough from her perspective, but she couldn’t help but wonder if that weird color thing looked worse from a distance.

But Rose had seemed to like it, so it was probably fine. And…while she was thinking of Rose, what was up with that? It was starting to sound like Rose had been right, she was someone super important. Why did her soul get sent into the body of the rat that Lia had enlightened, and not some other soul?

Lia didn’t think it was random chance. No, she refused to believe it was random chance. If it was, then Lia would be one of the luckiest people on the face of the planet – there would have to have been some aide she didn’t know about that died recently enough so as to have not been reincarnated, then that aide in particular would have had to just happen to be next in line for reincarnation.

But she also didn’t think the gods would have sent her the soul. They had promised non-intervention, yes, but nothing more. And if they were doing more, then Lia really wasn’t sure what to make of…anything, really. It seemed far more likely that Amelia had somehow obtained the soul and then reincarnated it like she had with Lia.

All that aside, her new race was shaping up to be pretty good, if the stats were any indication.
