A cold indistinct voice sounded through Jayde consciousness.

"Soul transfer complete"

"Contract with Protoss Artifact activated"

"Contractor's body severely damaged, insufficient energy to heal fully, starting emergency healing"

"What the f*ck" Jayde thought to herself, groggy and confused she tried to move, but severe pain instantly flooded her body making her freeze.

"Contractor please lie still while healing is in progress"

Soul transfer ... Divine System ... repair, Jayde tried to focus, really confused about what was happening.

"Didn't I just die?" she thought to herself. The bomb detonated, she remembered feeling the pain of her body disintegrating.

Soul transfer... Wait didn't that voice say something about soul transfer?? with her mind running around in circles Jade tried to make sense of what was happening, she had an ominous feeling especially about that soul transfer thing.

"Contractor emergency healing has been completed" the unemotional voice sounded again.

"Who the hell are you?" Jayde demanded, wait that isn't her voice! Shocked Jayde eyes flew open.

"I am the Doha Protoss System," the unknown voice said.

Looking around her, Jayde couldn't see anyone, more shocking than seeing no one around was the small clearing she was in.

Crypso 3Q3U was a barren planet, but surrounding Jayde was a lush scene, with tall trees with emerald green leaves, how the hell did she land up here?

"Please wait while the memories of the previous host are integrated," the Protoss system said.

"W..w-hat?" Jayde stammered.

"What f*cking memories, what the f*ck is going on," Jayde thought frantically.

The next thing blinding pain assaulted Jayde's mind and thousands of memories that didn't belong to her were stuffed into her head.

Gritting her teeth, Jayde bore through the pain, trying to understand all the new memories that were suddenly available.

"Oh, so this body's previous host was Jayde Freehold, 13-years-old" Jayde mumbled to herself.

"Wait — WHAT THE F*CK? 13!!" she exclaimed.

Jumping up, Jayde looked down at herself, OMG she really was in a child's body. Jayde was standing in a pool of blood, with pieces of flesh lying all around.

Seeing the flesh, Jayde quickly recalled the last couple of memories of Jayde Freehold, where her uncle had flayed her alive.

Holding her arms out, Jayde inspected her tiny arms, seeing jade white skin covering her arms, she quickly looked down at her legs, although horribly underdeveloped they were also covered in new skin.

Lifting her right hand, Jayde rubbed her forehead, she could feel a headache coming on.

"Yo Protoss System or whatever, where the hell are you?" Jayde called out.

She needed to chat with this person, and find out what the hell was happening. If this was the afterlife, then she had been screwed.

"Contractor please limit your movements, I have managed to heal the most serious of your wounds, but you will require rest to complete the healing," the Protoss system said.

Spinning around Jayde still saw no-one was around.

"Enough games, show yourself" she snarled.

"Contractor that is impossible, I am contracted to your soul and do not have enough energy to manifest" explained the Protoss system.

"Stop calling me contractor, call me Jayde" Jayde mumbled, trying to understand what the system just said, while each word was understandable, she felt that it was talking another language, as everything it said was so confusing.

"Look explain to me exactly what the hell is going on? What contract? How did I get here? Why am I in this body? Who the hell are you? and more importantly, WHY AM I NOT DEAD!" Jayde spat out the question rapidly.

"Jayde if I may suggest it would be better for you to relocate to a safer environment before we discuss anything further, the blood here is going to attract spirit beast very soon, and with your current body you are in no position to defend yourself," suggested the Protoss system unemotionally.

The moment Jayde heard spirit beast, data flooded her mind about spirit beasts. Alarmed Jayde quickly looked around. The system was right, this was not the place to talk, and the strange beast in her memory seemed quite frightening.

Thinking about the plan of the previous Jayde Freehold, Jayde decided to follow through with it and head to the Dark Forest, although she wouldn't actually enter the Dark Forest itself, as this body was too weak to defend itself, but Jayde needed to find a safe place to rest, gather information and digest the memories in her head.

Turning towards the Dark Forest, Jayde tripped over something on the ground. Looking down she saw a beautiful sharp dagger, bending down she picked it up. After looking over it she realized that it looks familiar to her, after thinking about it, she realized that this is the dagger that horrible second uncle of this body had used to flay the skin off.

"He must have dropped it when he left," she thought to herself, "Oh well, finders keepers" and with that, she looked around for something to hold the dagger. Finding a bunch of rags a little bit further on, Jayde found some food, with a gourd of water, a flint as well as an old blanket.

At least she had some supplies, making a makeshift carry bag she loaded all the supplies into it and secured it onto her back, then using a piece of cloth she made herself a belt and secured the dagger to her waist.

Feeling a bit more secure now that she had supplies and a weapon Jayde set off towards the Dark Forest.
