John had always prided himself on being average. An average student, an average athlete, and an average everyday person. But today, something extraordinary was happening to him - something that would shatter his conception of who he was and possibly his understanding of the world itself.
He felt an odd tingling sensation inside, like millions of tiny insects were dancing beneath his skin. His hands, once familiar and human, were slowly morphing into something else. Could this be a dream? No. The sensation of his flesh transforming, the prickly discomfort and eerie fascination - it felt far too vivid.
John watched in awe as his hands shrank, elongating into slender, elegant shapes. What should have been fingers became delicate hooves. He took a panicked breath, his heart racing. As he looked up, he saw not one world, but many - his perspective had split, making him acutely aware of his surrounding like he had never been before. This wasn’t the vision he had known all his life. He was now seeing the world through stalk eyes that grew taller and taller from his evolving head.
His terror and confusion were palpable, but a strange newfound instinct urged him to stay calm. He realized with astonishment that this was not the panic of a trapped human, but the controlled presence of something else - something wise and composed. An Andalite? Yes, that was what he was becoming.
As he stood awkwardly in the verdant field, he felt the earth beneath his feet in a way he'd never experienced before. Sensations of the soft grass seemed to flow through the tiny hooves, and he found himself instinctively absorbing nutrients from it. Through this newfound connection with the earth, a sense of calm washed over him.
His face, though still recognizable in parts, reshaped, becoming softer and smaller. His tail, once an insignificant part of his human body, sprouted into a sinuous appendage with a tiny but sharp blade at the tip. He could sense its growing strength as it lashed about through the air.
Purple. His entire back was now a shimmering purple, catching the light in a way that felt surreal but strangely fitting.
Beneath his feet, he could feel his lower legs lengthening and adjusting to the form of muscular, graceful appendages. He was adapting well - too well, perhaps, because nothing human should adapt like this. But maybe that was the point; he was no longer just human.
Suddenly, he sensed motion behind him. Before he could fully understand what was happening, a fully grown Andalite male mounted his back. His instincts flared, but instead of panic, there was understanding. A connection, an instinctual bond taking form.
The days of understanding funneled directly into his expanding consciousness. He - no, she - comprehended now. She was no longer John, the average human. She was something different, a young Andalite who’s future was untold.
The field stood in hushed silence as the alien reality of her transformation presented an entirely new destiny.
