I got myself a copy of Breath of the Wild and played it all day. That night I had this strange dream of walking into this home in the trees. No one was around. There was a bandana in the ground. For some reason I played it on my head. That’s when I started feeling strange.

I could feel myself getting hotter, I was becoming itchy. Why was I itchy? I was beginning to be covered in feathers. The feathers rapidly spread across my body. When they reached my hands my fingers grew longer, more wing like. I stared at my hands covered in feathers basically now a strange mix of a birds wings and hands. As I could move each end as it were still my hand.

My lips harden as I continued feeling like this wasn’t a dream, but it was right? A beak made its way out from my hardening lips. I could hear my beak closing with a slight clicking sound. I touched my newly acquired beak with my winged hands that were surprisingly sensitive to touch. I could run my winged finger along my beak, even ran them inside my beak. My glasses were slipping off my face and with incredible dexterity I placed them hanging on my shirt.

My hips widen as my thighs expanded ripping and tearing my pants. I could hear, feel everything in this dream. It was one of my most detailed dream I’ve ever had. I shook a little as my tail feathers made their way out of my body. I stared at them only for a while. The transformation hasn’t ended yet.

The skin on my leg grew tighter. My toes fused and morphed into talons. I could feel them on the wood floors. I walked a little getting used to the way my new legs bent. Strange I still haven’t woken up.

My curly black hair while definitely less curly was still curled at the ends now pink. I once again touched them, I could feel my hair, feel it bounce up and down as I played with my new hair.

I was distracted playing with my hair when I felt someone grab my winged hand. They were like me. “Saki” said the other Rito. Huh? That’s when it realized who’d I become. It didn’t Dawn on me I was becoming a Rito. A female one at that.

My train of thought once again ended as he…Teba? Spoke again. “What are you wearing?” He asked. It looks ridiculous.

I just looked at him, why haven’t I woken up yet? I thought. This is the point I would have woken up… unless this isn’t a dream?
