Octransfur 2025 Day 9 - Star (Short Story in Disc)
While on her trek to the next town over, Kite was enjoying a pleasant night time hike across the hills of the plains
The sky was full of stars, practically lighting her way forward, not that she needed it, as her innate magic helped her see her way forward
As she climbed up the hill, that's when a brighter glow covered the landscape, a shooting star!
Kite, a very content individual, had no need for grand wishes, but even for someone like her, she couldn't help but think about the pleasantry of a wish, and thought to herself a wish
Kite was born without her wings, keeping her land locked, unlike the rest of her kind, and while the little origami wings she fashioned for herself help give off the appearance of normalcy, especially since she could infuse her magic into them to make them move, as if they were a part of her, they could not help her fly
And so for only a moment, she thought of a wish, to be like other dragons, and have the wings needed to fly
After a good long while of trek across the expansive land, Kite was able to find a makeshift shack next to some woods
Seems that this place was once abandoned, but a note found inside let Kite know that the shack is now being used for travelers to rest, as long as they clean up after themselves and help upkeep the shack
Glad to know she wasn't intruding, Kite placed down her bag, and lied down on the wooden slab she could only assume to be the bad
It wasn't the most comfortable, but she has slept on much worse, a wooden slab would be far from the worst thing she has spent the night on
Kicking her legs back, Kite closed her eyes, and drifted to sleep
That night, Kite's sleep was interrupted by quite the surreal dreams
Dreams of flight, but no control; Kite was the victim of the many direction the wind blew her
She struggled to fight for control over herself, wrestling with the very nature of the world, but was powerless to fight, flying directly into building and trees
But with each impact, instead of what should be death, or at least grave injury, instead it was like she was bouncing off of everything
She could sense her body squishing and morphing with each impact, unnaturally so
But another thing was off; she swore she could hear the strangest sound, like rubber grinding on itself, and she could hear it no matter where she was
In the sky, or near the ground, that same squishing and squeaking could be heard
Before she could understand anything of what the dream was saying, the wind suddenly stopped, and Kite was a good few hundred feet in the air
Plummeting, all kite could do was hope the same bouncing she has been doing this whole time will happen one more time as she hits the ground
Instead, the impact comes, and Kite is jolted awake
Kite, lying on that same slab she fell asleep on, stared at the ceiling in confusion, barely able to understand the dream that she had that night, but light blared through the window, signaling a new day, and another day of travel
She couldn't just lie there, contemplating a weird dream she had, so Kite began to move herself out of bed
And that's when she heard something very familiar
*Squrrrkk*
She recognized that sound, it was from her dream
Kite looked around, trying to see what was causing that sound, but by looking around, the squeaking continued with each turn of the head
The sound was coming from her!?
She looked down at herself, seeing the reason for the sound covering her body
No, not covering her body, it was her body!?
Shooting up from the bed, Kite examined herself; she was some strange rubbery substance that squeaked with each small movement
Her body was much bigger, too big for any of her clothes, and her insides felt hollow, as if she was filled with nothing but air, she was a pooltoy??
She looked at her back, and there were two, strange looking wings; wings that look like nothing she had seen before
Trying to make sense of her situation, Kite remember the night before
"The shooting star..." She reminded herself
She wished to be able fly like other dragons
And now she was a different type of dragon, but why the weird pooltoy look???
After calming down just a little bit, Kite opened up the blinds to get a look outside, afterall, if she can't understand what is happening or how to reverse it, she might as well see if she can find someone who can
And that when she saw it
A very windy day was blowing outside
So windy, she just knew that she would get picked up by it, after all, she was full of nothing but air
"Picked up by the wind... Kind of like flying in a way... Hilarious..."
She now knew what the shooting star's way of granting her wish was, and she was slightly amused, mostly by the weird feeling she felt about her new body.
Guess this trek just got a whole lot more complicated.

"Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now
Wish right now
Wish right now"
That's it, that's the joke, the reason why I made this one
