Level Beyond Human

What is happening to me?

"I'm I'm a sword?!"

The transformation hit Alexis like a wave she couldn't brace for, every sense scrambled and rerouted into something that made no immediate sense.

She scrambled through the combat log on sheer instinct, and the answer surfaced a moment later a skill activation notice, clean and clinical against the chaos of everything else she was feeling.

Warden's Mandate.

The instant Kael's hand closed around her hilt, she felt it the grip, steady and sure, wrapping fully around what used to be her own body.

Something in her chest clenched tight at the contact, an unfamiliar current running through her that she had no ready name for.

Before she could even begin to process it, power surged through the connection between them vast, overwhelming, flooding outward from her into him in a current that left her reeling, a startled sound slipping loose before she could stop it.
