"Ah."
Walking on four limbs had felt the most natural to the woman, but in her human form it was much too difficult and awkward. Two legs may be easier to some. But to others it was tiring.
"You body would have to be used to its new shape." Roshan said "Crawling is only the first step in walking."
She paused, trying to think of what to say next.
"I am not knowledgeable in this, we could look for someone to teach you."

Anna's ears perked up when she heard Roshan mention finding someone to teach Anna how to walk on all fours. "R-Really?"She asked. "I-I thought you didn't care about me at all... Why are you wanting to help me?"She asked.

"I-I was irritated." Roshan said "I let it guide my judgement."
The woman sighed, feeling a tang of guilt at her previous actions.
"But I can not leave someone who needed guidance to fend for themselves if they are not able to help themselves."

Anna was silent for a moment. She certainly thought Roshan was right, though it didn't occur to her that her own eagerness to find the east may have had a hand in that irritation. "Carry me."Anna declared, before managing to leap onto Roshan.

The woman nearly threw the girl-beast off in her supprise, her mane standing on end and her ears alert.
"Sorry." she said
She bent over and pushed the girl-beast's body up more on her back. Huffing with realization of Anna's weight.
"Gah. You are heavy." Roshan said, walking slowly "You need to walk soon."

"Sorry."Anna said. "If I still had my wings I might be able to help carry me."Anna said with a sigh.

"You had wings?" she said, walking slowly
Villagers stared at the two as they passed, some giggling or starring. Many of them moved out of their way. Seated at a large tree at the center of the village, a shaman sat with various objects and observed the two. She stood up and beckoned the woman towards her. The shaman looked ancient, her long hair white like bones and her body small and shriveled.
Roshan huffed her way towards the tree, then gently lowered Anna in front of the shaman. The woman stood up to catch her breath.
"I must be out of practice in this form." she said to herself

"I think so yeah. My back felt alot lighter when I woke up here."Anna said as she was carried through the town, with much of her lower body still dragging along the ground. "Whose she?"Anna asked as they approached the Shaman. "How come your skins all wrinkly and stuff?"Anna asked as she was lowered to the ground by Roshan.

"I am Shaman Nomusa, young one." the shaman said "I see you have difficulties using this body."
The shaman seemed not to mind Anna's other question, and invited Roshan to sit with the wave of her hand. The woman sat near the girl-beast, relaxing more under the tree's shade.

"It's really just the legs and thorax. I think they're broken. I fall over everytime I try to walk."Anna said managing to curl up in a fashion similar to a normal ferret or weasal, using her haunches as a makeshift pillow. "Can you fix me?"She asked

The shaman looked over girl-beast's body, then took one her paws gently in her hands. She hummed as she looked over Anna's paws and placed it back.
"Your body is half way." the shaman said "It is one part instead of both."

Anna blinked confused. "Uh.... I dunno how things work here, but from where I'm from the body's in three sections, the head, thorax, and abdomen."Anna said, mis-interpreting the shaman's comment. "It's not in halves or boths but three very specific parts."She added.

"This form is only one part, you are half way between man and beast." the shaman said "Your three parts are now three forms."
She took several odd items and handfuls of strange dust, mixing it inside a wide wooden bowl. The shaman grabbed a jug and poured a strange liquid into the bowl. Then taking a bone spoon, she mixed the contents together. It swirled on its own as the shaman chanted softly, glowing until it became a clear liquid.
"Hmmm." the shaman said "Look into the bowl and see."
Should Anna look in, she would see a glimpse of her true form and then it being split into two. One of the Half-Bee and the other of her current Half Ferret.
"Not all changes granted by fate are alike." the shaman said "Such changes can be getting used to or controlled."

Anna blinked, still confused. "How do I turn into that?"She asked indicating her true Bee-Ferret form. "I wanna be that one again."She said.

"There are many trials in Concard and letters one must collect to usually find their true selves." the shaman said
She pulled out several old looking letters, creased and wrinkled with age.
"When the time comes you will receive your letter or your true form. But for now, you must learn to walk in your new form."
