"We do need to get out of here." Eodora stated to Igna. She could see that one mysterious warrior and two eight-year-old girls didn't have too much hope against that many demons in a straight fight.
"How?" whispered the terrified Igna.
Eodora gestured to an area of the circle guarded by only a couple of demons a little distance apart. "There. Follow me."
"But we'll fall off the edge!" Igna responded, because beyond the two demons was the edge of the floating rock.
"This is the world of chaos." Eodora responded. "Gravity doesn't work the same way here."
"What about her?" Igna gestured to Lisa.
"She can come if she wants." Eodora answered "But we can't wait."
Igna gave Lisa's trousers a hard jerk to get her attention, then the two started running for the gap. Lisa followed.
Eodora had chosen to break for the spot exactly between the two demons, and the two went through a "you got it--I got it--no you got it" routine just long enough for the three to go sailing off the edge of the rock.
Eodora was both terrified and exhilirated by the raw chaos through which she was falling. Igna was mostly terrified, and Lisa didn't know what to think. Clearly these girls had somewhat different ideas about being rescued than she had envisioned.
Suddenly the three were falling through a major distortion patch. They felt their bodies being wrenched and reshaped, then lost consciousness.
Eodora recovered consciousness first and looked around her. She was on a flat, grassy surface that seemed to go on for a while. She couldn't feel anything broken, but her body felt different somehow. She struggled to her feet. She noticed that the ground had gotten somewhat farther away.
As far as she could judge, she had gotten a little taller and grown fur. A quick check revealed that, sigh, she was still female. And her hand looked different even taking into account the fur. A quick squeeze of her muscles popped out claws, and a manual inspection of the area above her buttocks revealed a tail. She was a creature out of old legends, a catgirl. In the myths of Eodore's people, catgirls were supernatural beings who seduced men, drained them of their life energy, and then consumed their flesh. Eodora didn't feel like any of those activities at the moment, so she dismissed the old stories from her mind.
The princess looked around for her companions. Igna lay close by, seeming unhurt but still unconscious. She had grown two charming little horns from her forehead like a goat's, but otherwise she looked unchanged.
Eodora started looking for Lisa. All she could see was a handsome, muscular young man in Lisa's clothing. From what the princess could see, Lisa's gender had been changed but nothing else. With a wince of relief, Eodora realized that she didn't want to seduce him or drain his life energies. Apparently there were other kinds of catgirls.
The man recovered consciousness, looked at himself, and began to scream.
