Tonight was the night, today Kain would finally become a true Mundlicht, tonight he would be granted his inheritance by the Elders of his family. His friends thought him weird when he refused to go for a drink, instead opting out for a family night in, if only they knew.
Sure enough if he went out with his mates he would just be pulled into conversations about comics and other stuff, he liked marvel mostly, The amazing Spiderman was his favorite series. Sure he enjoyed talking about comics but out of all his friends three of them liked a show he really has never seen, apparently My Little Pony was awesome to them, they even said he fit one of the characters to a 'T' because of his characteristics. Don't know how you could fit into a story with ponies but whatever. Still aside from cartoons and banter with his friends he was more excited to finally find out what his family inheritance was.
It took a few hours by car until they reached the edge of the woods, a weird place to meet up but aparently it was part of the tradition. A few minute later his Father turned to him, "Were nearly there, look," he said as he pointed forward, Kain looked on.
Kain and his Father finally arrived at where they would meet his Grandfather, the true leader of their Family, Kain would never know how he got there so fast thought, for one he was old... and he kind of lived in Germany.. they lived in America but whatever right. The secret to their family and his inheritance couldn't be that big right? sure he was told he had connections to royalty but that was not what occupied his mind.
Throughout Kains life he was babied at every step, always told to keep his emotions in check, never to get too happy... or too sad.. and definitely not angry. There was only one instance when he got angry and he couldn't remember it, it was all a blur, he was only nine so it was quite some time ago too.
The smell of fresh pine was awesome but not my new sneekers! I just bought those, your own fault dumbass plus look at dad's shoes and he ain't complaining. Did I mention he talks to himself, because he does that a lot. Even as his white trainers became brown sure enough the sight of his Grandfather sat upon a rock with his Cain held tight between his hands made a silly grin come on his face.
The old man let out a husky chuckle as he got to his feet, "Guten Abend mein Enkelkind!" he said as he wrapped his arms around Kain, his Grandfather was always the physical type, always a hugger.
Kain chuckled as he hugged back, "Großvater, guten abend, how was the travel?" Kain said, his Dad always told him it was polite to reply in his Grandfathers native language when talking to him.
His Granfather chuckled once again as he looked down at Kain, surprisingly enough he was around six foot nine, I swear he could have been a basketball player when he was younger. "It vas okay, thsose plains though... they do give my thuckus a pain!"
"Lovely Father, it's very nice to see you too," Kains Dad said in a sarcastic tone, Dad and Grandfather really never saw eye to eye for some reason, even my uncle gets kinda pissy when my Dad and him are in the same room. "Shall we begin then, time is upon us and we have only a few hours to gift my son his birth right"
Grandfather waved a hand to shush Dad, then he turned back to me, "so my boy, has your Father told you of anyving zat shall happen tonight?" I shook my head 'no', then he chuckled. Grandfather looked over my shoulder at Dad with a grin, just before looking back at me, "Then it shall be a surprise, one that you will love, tonight you become a true descendant of Mundlicht!"
A few hours had passed since then, you know living in Cali with its perfect weather is awesome, even when were in the middle of the forest and it still wasn't that cold. No seriously, this forest feels like a sauna, its strange really, half way through the night my Dad and Grandfather had told me to just go for a walk in the woods and in the morning they would come pick me up.
Sure I could have been with my buddies getting so wasted I don't remember what I did the night before but a walk in the night air like this was cool... er.. no pun intended. Gives a guy a lot to think about you know.. oh for crying out loud this heat, thats it the jacket has to come off.
Kain took his jacket off as he sat by the base of a pine tree, after taking it off he rolled it up and put it just behind him to lean on. The stars look so awesome tonight, they almost look to be... suddenly wooziness came across Kain, his vision blurred as he brought his left hand up to his head. What the hell? Do I have a fever? Kain deduced with the heat he was feeling and his sudden light headed-ness it was time to go back to where his Dad was but as he got up it just got worse. The world beneath him began spinning as his conscious mind took a back seat.
The smell of grass filled the air, cold dew could be felt on his chest and arms, the sunlight pierced through his long hai... I don't have long hair! Kain slowly got up to notice something was different... to be honest two things were different and he hoped a third wasn't. As he looked down he was met with two, oh for fuck sake! "How the hell di-" he instantly clamped his mouth with his hands, "That is not my voice!" a high pitched voice emanated from his mouth, definitely coming from him.
So with the two differences and the higher pitched voice it could only mean one thing, Its a dream, I'm dreaming, totally a dream. Kain let out a yelp as he pinched himself, now having quite long nails made it hurt that much more, "Its not a dream!" then apparently she screamed.
After calming down, she sat there with her arms across her... bussom, Kain blushed, sure he might have been twenty now but even his friends know he is still a virgin. So I am currently, he checked over hi-herself to see what she looked like... NOT THAT WAY! So I am half naked, at least I have pants, I cant just stay like this. Only now did she look around her to gawk in amazement.
"This is some David Copperfield shit right here," as Kain looked around he saw everything with that extra touch of girly, no joke, the colors were brighter and there was butterflies and little critters just a bit away staring at her in wonderment as to what she was. "Is this what women see? wait, that sounded really sexist... take it back!" As he kept looking around he turned behind him and to his luck found something he took off yesterday, "My jacket! but how-" never mind, I already woke up in some mysterious place, its a surprise I am still calm and sane in my situation!
She quickly slipped on the jacket, still a slight blush as she pulled the zip up, when we get back to the real world or whatever out of this fantasy like adventure we are definitely talking to a girl, wait, I talk to myself too much. Kain got to his feet as he noticed something else, one, his shoes were missing, For fuck sake! Two, his jacket looked to be at least two to three times to big for his new... body and lastly was the really.. reeeaaaaallllyyy colorful pony a few feet away who somehow too a look of absolute horror at her. That was until it ran in the opposite direction and started screaming just after shouting, "MONSTER!"
"Let me say this once again, this is. some. DAVID MUTHAFUCKIN COPPERFIELD SHIT!" she shouted, it really didn't feel aggressive with her new voice.
