Formicea Chapter 5

I cannot really say how I slept.

Sothing like a dreamless sleep, yet calm and at the sa ti as if I had been heavily invested in sothing, but then forgotten.

Waking up my state is a bit better than when I initially laid down.

However, this is just relative, as I felt absolutely terrible before.

Now I feel only half that terrible.

The fever is not gone but decreased.

The itch feels less present, while it is still there.

And sore muscles need an eternity to get better, that much I learned from farm work.

My stomach is still in turmoil but cald down a little.

Yet sothing at my hip behind stings.

(K)

That startled .

It is the sa insect from before and it seems it was here the whole ti.

The fact that I can talk to it and that it’s apparently not hostile helps with the unusual appearance, if only a little.

"Better? Yes, I think a little bit. But what is this princess nonsense?" (E)

(K)

"E-Erys, my na is Erys. And I might be much but certainly not a princess." (E)

I mumble those words, intimidated by the fact that this is an insect in my size and it seemingly has so weird evaluation of .

(K)

"I said I am no princess." (E)

(K)

"Wh-what? What do you an?" (E)

(K)

"No! I an how?" (E)

(K)

"And because of that, they changed my eyes?" (E)

Calm down, this is crazy, yet all of this was too much since the beginning.

What are so little differences to my eyes, if I escaped certain death and worse?

I am agitated but try to soothe myself.

"Okay, my eyes are different. Could be worse. I can still see. So it's fine." (E)

(K)

No, no, no, no! This is completely wrong.

"Wh-why you say this? I- I was stung, but nothing more excessive should happen!" (E)

(K)

My body starts to heat up.

The muscles cramp and my breath gets rigid while panic seizes .

(K)

Kyska makes stand up with her four arms.

The pain and confusion disorder so much that I don’t even consider fighting back.

Then she brings back to the tub.

Now that I think about it, I ask myself how I didn't drown in this stuff, yet at the sa ti don't want an answer.

My body heat is rising and everything prickles like crazy.

But as soon my body enters the substance inside the tub it settles down and the temperature becos tolerable.

"What happens here?" (E)
