[The Gods Of The Chakats Must BE Chakats...] (Warning: Furry Herms!)

When you wake your body is changed, before you even open your eyes you know you are different. Instead of a body much like a man with wings, you're now much like the creature from the crystal, save with two sets of wings, one on your lower body and one above. You stand up and feel a pair of fur covered breasts flop down against your chest, which alarms you, instinctively you reach back with one of your "Hands-Feet" and feel your penis.

Yup, still there, (though now it is fully retractile,) but also a warm and moist slit, just like a woman. :So, I've become a hermaphrodite...: You think with mixed emotions.

You are strangely calm about this, perhaps a side effect of the world Spirits power, but it feels to you now like THIS was your true body all along, the previous one, the humanoid form, kind of like the caterpillar from which you have now emerged a butterfly. :Male and female, so dualistic, so limiting...: You think, and are not sure if the thought is your own or not, but it doesn't matter, either way, it's true. The hermaphrodite form you now wear is superior in nearly every respect, enhanced stamina, dexterity, strength, willpower, attractiveness, and above all, the ability to simultaneously sire and bear children. Even if your race of worshippers were somehow to be reduced to two individuals of the same gender it could, in theory, still survive, and that is a KEY advantage. You don't know much about how you must create the race in question, but you hope that comes as easily as gaining the soul core in the first place...

Only after all this passes through your mind does your surroundings truly register. You are inside a large stone room, round and made up of immense blocks of rough stone, with a large set of ovens and things making up the central column. You are holding the Soul Form of the Chakats, and hear a small voice from within it. "Bather, what will I/we be? Will I/we be fecund or long lived? Strong or Smart? Agile or Tough? Clever or Wise? Gifted or Skilled? Please tell me/us?" The little voice asks...
