You look over the paths, trying to decide which one you want to take. Then something strange happens.
Come this way.
"Hello?" you ask. You'd heard a voice but it seemed to come from nowhere! You look around for any sign of a person that could have called out to you.
I'm over here. Come and play with me!
The voice almost seemed to be in your head! It sounded like a girl. Something about her relaxed you. As though someone had uploaded knowledge into your brain, you know which way to go.
You follow a trail to your left, it leads into a wooded area. The shade is welcome as the sun is warm that day. As though your destination draws you, you follow the path, feeling a sense of anticipation. The world seems to grow ever so slightly and you feel your pants slide down your legs.
Keep going, you're almost here! Then we can play!
Stepping out of your pants, you feel a pressure at the back of your briefs. The world expands further, giving you a sinking feeling. You hear the laughter of children inside of your mind. No, you're not going crazy, something assures you of that. The laughter is laughing with, not at you. They know you'll soon join them in fun and games!
You feel a rip as something tears the back of your underwear. Initially, you feel something pushing it aside as well as against your shirt, which is now down to your knees. Then, your underwear seems to vanish! You don't feel a panic, no, somehow if anything you feel free.
I was overdressed anyway. You now find yourself skipping down the path. The cloth of your shirt rubs against the skin on your legs and the fur on your tail. A tail? Wait a minute! You try to bring yourself to feel concern, even as your legs seem to change with a pelt of light brown fur coating them. Somehow, it feels as right as having a tail now does.
Your shirt now seems constricting. You throw it off of your body and to the ground where it slowly turns to the soft brown soil that coats the forest floor. Your shoes, the last of your human clothing fade away. Before you can react, you feel the soil squishing between your feet.
Almost there! Again the voice, you want to reach her now more then anything!
The fur spreads up your torso, turning beige on your chest as it coats your arms, leaving you furred from the neck down. Your head, the last vestige of your human tingles as the fur spreads onto it. Somehow, despite being unable to see your face, you know you have a muzzle with the same beige fur, and that the top of your face has the light brown from your arms and legs. Your ears, melt into the sides of your head only to emerge towards the top rounded and fur covered. As your now yellow hair touches your shoulders you feel complete.
Looking down at your body, you realize that you're now female and no longer adult! You know you should panic, yet you feel a calming inside of you. Adult worries such as paying bills and having a job fade from your mind. Soon, you can't quite remember what those things are. You no longer feel naked. Besides, it's not as though you need to worry about modesty; your fur covers everything. You're one with the woods now, an adorable otter girl.
Now, you just need to find the ones who called you here.
You come to a break in the woods and see a sparking lake. Another otter girl surfaces and smiles.
"There you are! We were worried ya'd never get here!" The girl says
Looking at your now fellow otter, you feel release and as though you're finally home.
