"Mom?" I whispered, asking a question as i tested out the word for the lady hunched over the edge of the bed sleeping.

    "Mmmm...oh honey!" She cried as she sat up and pulled me into a deep hug, "Your dad and i have been so worried about you! Your fever finally broke yesterday but you still hadn't opened your eyes!" She finally let go and looked me over, checking my temperature with her hand. "Good the fever seems to have fully passed my dear. Let me get you some porridge you must be starving after three days without anything but little spoons of herbal tea and honey."

    "Thanks mom, that sounds..." my stomach chose that moment to growl,  "..amazing!" I blush in embarassment. I propped myself up as she moved to the kitchen humming to herself along the way. I slowly took in the rest of the house, recalling that it was an apartment on the outskirts of town with just two bedrooms and a kitchen/living room combo. As i glanced out the window, i noticed the two moons in the distance fading from view as the sun slowly creeped up. My dad should be home in a alittle while from his night watch duties, a job he had managed thanks to his inherent dark elf ability to see well at night.

    I rolled my neck, trying to wrap my mind around the memories twisting together in my head, slowly coming to terms with my new parents and my new form. I picked up the hand mirror on my night stand and stared at my reflection. "Gosh, i didn't expect this much of a change" i mumbled. I reached up with one hand, running it through my dark red to almost black hair between two horns on either side curving upwards slightly and backwards before lightly angling up at just the tips. It was alot to take in, i was no longer male which oddly didn't feel entirely off thanks to me being fairly androgynous even in my last life, it was rather everything else that shocked me. I took after my father in that i was fairly tall at 5 foot as a twelve year old, had charcoal gray complexion, silver grey eyes but also had traits from my mother. Her modest curves slowly developing as i aged, her hair color, horns, small wings on my lower back and a thin tail ending in a soft diamond shape at its end. I set the mirror down as i heard my mom approaching the room.

    "Here you go hun, there are raisins mixed in and a touch of honey to help with the taste." She said while smiling and setting the tray across my lap. "Do you need help with the spoon love? I'm more than happy to feed you, just don't tell your dad. He'll be jealous!"

    "Ugh...mom to sappy, thank you though. I think i can manage, i feel like i need to move or i'll just become a puddle anyway" i groan at her remark and slowly lift the spoon and take a bite. Freezing at the heavenly taste as i slowly chewed.

    "Honey, is everything okay?" She asks, as reaches up to dab my eyes.

    "Yeah..just really yummy mom" i whisper as i realize i'm crying from the taste of comfort and love from the porridge.

    "Well love, your father should be home shortly so i'm going to head back to the kitchen and prepare him a plate too. If you need anything just shout. If you feel up to it after you are done eating you should take a bath and change into some fresh clothes. Ok?" She stated, staring briefly with concern etched on her face.

    "Will do mom, thank you!" I responded between bites of food, slowly getting my emotions under control.
