The Black Tiger 27 Metamorphosis

Gabriel had walked fast towards his target, which was a high-speed train routed for the city Très in the neighboring country Q. After he had exited the mansion, he had decided not only to leave it for good, but also to never set a foot in the country Adelene ever again.

He had entered an old extravagant building made of big windows and old bricks. The construction had a flat smooth ceiling made from black gla.s.s. He went quickly inside where the designer benches were systematically placed beside tropic fruit plants. Every bench was made of dark wood coated in a blanc substance which was exenterated by the white brick walls and faint light of scented candles placed on chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.

Gabriel took a glance on his surroundings before his eyes stopped at the electronic train schedule placed beside the neat looking reception.

-d.a.m.n. Why are there so many people at the station at this hour? It's only two o'clock at night. –

Gabriel felt a bit stressed by the big crowds and noisy atmosphere, but he had a bad feeling about this setting. This feeling got confirmed soon after stepping towards the outer platform.

[Emergency task]

There has been detected an unwanted individual near the 'player'. To ensure to complete the transition between countries, the 'player' must use the skill metamorphosis.

If the 'player' doesn't complete this emergency task the 'player' will be captured.

Gabriel looked at the screen while lifting an eyebrow. He read it repeatedly, but still he didn't understand how he could use this ability which he didn't have.

-How am I supposed to change my appearance when I don't obtain this ability? It's impossible, but I need to try because I will never return to this fallen city. –

Gabriel stunned while he glanced at the clock. It was still fifteen minutes before the train would be on its way to Très, and he had concluded that he could use around ten minutes of the restricted time.

Gabriel had managed to shake off the unknown individual who had been stalking him while he had seated in a toilet stall. His breath was heavy for a split second before his ocean blue eyes stared at the locked door. Every camera in the room had been taken care of by changing their angle towards each other. Gabriel had been careful when it came to hide his face with the hood on his jacket.

-The guards will soon know that someone relocated the camerangles, I must be quick. –

"You're quite stressed by this problem, aren't you?" Tigris laughed in amus.e.m.e.nt. "Of course, I am! I don't even have this skill" Gabriel mumbled fast while he looked through his information in the system. "You aren't that good at searching as I originally thought, but if you go to page two of your status you can see your skills."

Gabriel was a bit confused about the level of the skill 'Metamorphosis' but didn't question it now because of the restricted timeframe. He took a fast glance at the clock above the modern decorated mirrors which showed that there was only ten minutes before the train would leave this station.

Without hesitating Gabriel commanded: "Metamorphosis"

As the command left his lips his mind formed an image of a young female with blonde straight hair, pouty rose-golden lips and hazel eyes. When Gabriel opened his eyes again, he could recognize the same girl in the mirror facing him. It took a while before he understood this person was him.

The small frame of this golden-haired girl stood patiently waiting on the last platform at the train station. People wasn't discreet when they looked at her with admiration for her beauty. Even the man who had lost his pray stood dumbfounded by her. Gabriel felt every presence who took an interested in his outer sh.e.l.l, something which annoyed him greatly.

The train slowly stopped in front of the waiting pa.s.sengers who eagerly entered the sleek vehicle. Gabriel found his seat in carriage number two near the front. Tiered he sat down and felt his mind slowly drift away on the dark red seats made of soft garment. The noise which had been overflowing at the station had become a bit more bearable at the train. However, the gazes still felt like it was burning him up slowly.

The ride had felt a bit shorter than expected, since Gabriel took a short nap. He had awakened just a couple of minutes ago.

The conductor spoke over the speakers that there was only a minute before they had reached the city Très. All the pa.s.sengers who were going to leave the train stood up and prepared their luggage, including Gabriel who had gotten his tiny black backpack from the upper shelf with a little help from another pa.s.senger since he was so small in his current form.

While exiting the carriage Gabriel could feel a fresh breeze of oxygen which refreshed a sense of freedom. The platform was even more beautiful than that in the city of Rik. It was made of quartzite which lightened up the atmosphere of the station just meters away. The crowds of people spread through the different paths from the station. Gabriel who hadn't been there before decided to ask for directions, but he suddenly started to wonder if his voice had changed too.

A sense of unease surrounded Gabriel while he augmented with himself, it ended in that it was worth a try. His hazel brown eyes searched for an acceptable candidate until he found a woman in her thirties. The light steps lead him to the woman where he got her attention and asked: "Excuse me, madam. Could you please help me with the directions to Colombo street?" A sweet calm feminine voice asked. Gabriel was pleasantly surprised by the skill 'Metamorphosis' even more than before.

The woman had on a black suit and her hair was tied in a sleek ponytail. A warm smile emitted from her face before she answered while she pointed at a map which Gabriel had brought along.
