Kendra dazedly opened her eyes and looked around. That cute tiny creature told her about this world. 

People had powers and she as well. But to become powerful she needs to use it. Thinking about all the books she read in her past life, she understood the gist of it. 

She looked at the small cave he let her into and blinked a few times. Here she had only a few wild vegetables to eat and some simple animals to hunt. But where are other people?

She sniffed the air and knew right away she will be in trouble if she doesn't find other humans. It was smelling like winter.

Around her was nothing else to be seen than just the forest. But the yellow leaves that surrounded her made it certain for her that it was already autumn here. Looking left and right she just started randomly walking. The cave was just that, a cave. But that was not good enough for her to survive. 

"So hungry." She pressed her grumbling stomach and started running. But a strange thing happened. Her speed was quite amazing. "Oh?"

She stunned herself and stopped. "Is this my power?"

Thinking about it, even speed is an amazing skill. She could just run away from danger. She smiled brightly and looked down. Her feet are the same. She started laughing. "What did I expect? To grow wings in my heels?"

Suddenly she froze. A pair of green eyes stared at her from the nearby bushes. 

Her hair slowly rose as the head of the animal slowly came out. Green skin with red sprinkles and a long tongue that was followed by a long body. The biggest snake she ever saw in her lifetime.

"Oh, great. A snake." She slowly hissed making the snake that was about to attack her stop in movement.

"How... interesting... Small human, where did you learn how to speak my language?" The snake curled in one spot and curiously looked at the girl in front of her. 

Kendra froze. "Huh, what do you mean your language? Don't you speak mine?"

Hiss could be heard from the snake as she shook her head. "Tsk, tsk. I guess you are not aware of your skill. Too bad you will die now. I'm too hungry to let you go." 

Inside her chest, Kendra's heart was already beating quite fast as she saw the snake that was the size of a tree. To hear the death confirmation that she already assumed, made her feel weak and scared. 

"Can't you let me go? To you, I'm just a snack. Such a powerful snake deserves something bigger and better." Kendra tried to smile but from fear, her face was too frozen. So the snake only saw her calm expression and shiny eyes.

"Interesting. What should I do? I didn't hunt for a while. If you find me a bigger animal to eat, I won't hurt you. And don't think you can escape easily. Even with your speed skill, I'm faster than you."

Kendra felt her back becoming cold. This creature knew she had the speed skill? Could she outrun it? But she threw away that idea. Looking at the muscular body, she probably wouldn't be able. 

Suddenly she heard the sound of water. "There is a river?"

The snake shook her head. "It's a lake. Why? You know how to fish?"

Kendra patted her grumbling belly. "I need to eat food as well. But, stay behind in the bushes. If it's a lake, then animals might come here to sate their thirst. In that case, you can capture them. Have some patience."

The snake sighed. "Then I'll wait. What do you plan?"

Kendra was absentminded. "I have a strange feeling I should go for a swim. Why do I have this feeling, I wonder..."

The snake just hissed and went to hide into the big nearby bushes. Kendra looked at the huge needles and then at the thick scales that the snake had and sighed. "I wish I had skin like you. Then nothing could harm me."

"Stop speaking stupid stuff. You are human and have soft skin. If you had skin like me, then would other humans accept you? No. Go now. I need to prepare my senses." She closed her eyes and opened them again as she could feel the girl in front of her. "What now?"

"Uhm, how do you prepare your senses?" Kendra was curious. 

"You close your eyes and concentrate. Now go, you are bothersome. I might eat you out of annoyance." The green eyes looked at her with appearing anger, so Kendra just stepped back and quickly walked towards the sea.

As she stared at the water she felt amazed. It was so clean that she could see tiny animals and fishes nearby. Looking a bit further away she could see even deeper.

Kendra took off her dress and wondered as she looked at it. When did she get this dress? She looked at her own body and got flabbergasted. When did she grow up so fast? Is something wrong with this body? Or did she transmigrate again? Maybe that body was too weak and she died?

Thinking about that possibility she nodded. But she felt like something is missing. That body had no family and she just found a place to stay. Too bad that the child will be eaten by animals before someone finds that place.

With a heavy feeling, she went on her knees and gave a little prayer for the child. "Thank you for letting me have your body and sorry for not taking good care of it. Please forgive me and rest in peace."

The snake blinked at her in wonder. What is this weird child doing? Taking its skin off and then talking to an invisible human?

Is she going mad because she was alone for too long?

Under pitying eyes of a snake Kendra slowly went towards the water and suddenly froze.
