Now what Flare didn't know,because it was one of the darker secrets
of Morph Island,was that to choose the female option was great if you were
already a female human or some other mythological female entity.
Basically because they already had a female soul-mind to start off with.
All that "female" really meant was you had some inner
drive to reproduce the species,raise the species and look after the species
above all other concerns.
However to park a male soul-mind into a female body created
all sorts of headaches for management,because males don't get a rush from giving live-birth,laying eggs or enduring the pain and stress that
came with using a female body for what it
was meant for
Reproducing the species and making sure the next generation got
a fighting chance at life.
So the dark horrible secret was that there was no such thing
as the female with a male mind running about.
The process wiped out all memories and tossed out all those troublesome
male drives and replaced them with female reproductive drives
including going into 'heat' when the reproductive drives operated
at full throttle.
So to choose the female option ( which pointedly was not on the form)
was to choose 'death' since you just weren't you anymore.
Flare of course hadn't known that or he never would have suggested it to
you.
He had unknowingly just told you to go hang yourself.
So off you went to be a male,and Flare went off to drop off your form at administration
and along the way Flare found a cast aside box of female
gene-bombs that someone who was in a hurry had thrown aside.
All the gene-bombs were broken except one.
Now Flare had noticed that all those female dragons had a sort of reassured confident air to themlike they knew the purpose of life and
knew what they wanted in life.
The females already were twice as big and heavy as the males blundering about,and quite literally and metaphorically looked down on
males as a lesser species only good for giving females some seed every now and then.
Flare definitely did not have the confidence of a female.
All he was doing with his life was being aa form taker.
So Flare the puny male looked at the gene-bomb in his claws and
snuck off to a private area somewhere so he could <temorarily> become a female
Of course that was the dark secret
There was no <temporary > when it came to becoming a female
It was all or nothing.
