Chapter Eleven: Becoming Comfortable with Myself
Again I had Alaner meet me as I left the men. It was strange, but after only a day I found myself seeing the other human females as only girls. Alaner did have nice hair, but not at all with the style that I had with my locks. Her chest had no development. I faced her feeling more than her equal.
“Neselle, the story was wonderful. We need more revelations from the men.”
The statement sounded childish to me, so I sternly replied to the contrary. “No. These men have work to do. Conversations are nice, and the story was a pleasant disruption to the day, but they are here on a mission. What is done in that room is not to entertain you.”
Our little girl begins to grow up and assert her dominance.

Chapter Ten: A Different Me
...
As I told him thanks, I saw Nuchirg make a motion with his hands. The glance from Althery indicated that he did not know how to speak on the topic. I thus went ahead and told him about what he had noticed.
“They’re real – well, as real as they could. I mean, if we could develop them through medication, we would mature our bodies in such a fashion instead of turning us into animals. Still, I woke up this morning with large masses on my chest.”
“They didn’t think of just stuffing a bra?”
The fate of Neselle begins to separate her from her people.

Chapter Nine: My Job Continues
...
The man said something, but before Althery could translate I asked a question, “He seems able to understand us.”
“He does. See that pin on his collar – the girly thing with sapphires coloring a butterfly on a flowering grape vine?”
“That’s girly?”
“That’s girly.” Seeing Nuchirg nod caused me to accept the description as being accurate. “That pin allows him to understand. If he wants to speak however, he is going to have to learn the language.”
The conversation turns personal.

Chapter Eight: Unexpected Results
...
Both Althery and Nuchirg were awake and moving about. I got the impression that both had stayed up late. The gold-hued man rushed to a pot, grabbed my face to kiss a cheek, then poured him a cup. Althery looked up from where he was studying a map to grumble out a statement.
“Nuchirg says thanks for the coffee. I need some as well, if you don’t mind – and you might as well tell the kitchen to send more.”
I could not help but laugh, as I knew such phrases from my own family. The ceramic mugs that I served the men were tiny in comparison to the bowls that some in my herd would want filled for them. Wondering about the work the coffee would help the men stay active at, I made a statement.
“I thought that you couldn’t read.”
Our heroine finds herself not really able to relate to the lads.

Chapter Seven: What is Happening?
...
“Let Neselle know if you need anything.”
I expected the extra words from my father. He had always been one to worry over details, and had a habit of not thinking a job was completely finished. Putting my name in the phrase as the one to do the additional steps however took me by surprise. I barely found the strength for my voice as I chirped a question to him.
“Me?”
“This is your discovery, Neselle. It’s something simple, so should be a good learning mission for you.”
Neselle has to start learning to deal with situations on her own.

Chapter Six: Learning of Strangers
...
Another horse from my herd, a male named Bulido, said, “Did you see that centaur? She had arms. And her body – she had – had, she looked like a lady.”
One of the females, I knew her name to be Sheraine, asked, “Could she really hold her baby while suckling it?”
When I asked if we could go watch the interview, my father replied, “Yes, we cannot get any answers here. Come on, there is work to do, but we can watch as well.”
Things get done even as objectives are clearly stated.

Chapter Five: An Entrance of Strangers
...
The lioness replied, “There are weapons on those mounts.”
Suddenly, a sword appeared in Terish’s right hand. In the other he held a piece of metal that I could clearly tell had sharpened edges. He waved the sword, then both items seemed to disappear as he spoke.
“We are highly armed, and very dangerous. If we wanted to cause trouble, serious trouble, we could. I would suggest that you take the very advice that we are taking: the fact that we haven’t attacked yet means that we probably won’t.”
While one should be wary of the unknown, learning about it is the proper thing to do.

Chapter Four: Strangers
...
Thinking of what those in the corral could do, I replied, “You might be surprised what can be managed. Go out and play some soccer.”
He laughed, then admitted, “Yes, they had me running and kicking a ball earlier. I need to adjust. You do too however, so I was given a job and told to take you – assuming you will.”
“A job? What?”
“Running the pastures. Checking on the regular animals and the predators watching over them. Nothing major, but it does serve a purpose and gets us out. How about it?”
A new life is sometimes a larger step than most believe they are taking.

Chapter Three: Adapting to My Life
...
I found it strange to have Medethy with me along with a human male and female, but was glad to have someone I knew to ask a question. “What is to happen to me?”
“Well,” he replied, “you are to listen.”
I obeyed, then spoke of what I heard. “It is quiet, mostly.”
“Yes. You are to accept that the others are not being hurt. While their bodies are being adapted through a number of processes, they are not being hurt.”
Just because the road is less stressful does not mean that it is without its own difficulties.

Chapter Two: The Game
...
“The balls were not hidden well. Can I just go grab one?”
“Certainly. Which one do you want?”
The crowd grew quiet as he looked around, then roared with laughter after he meekly replied, “I really don’t know.”
The lady with the microphone displayed delight as she replied, “Then you might as well play the game.”
To have any control over one's fate, you have to participate.
