Waking up, Lumina blinked her moist eyes to see a wooden roof over her head as the feeling of soft, silky covers touched her bare body on this new dawn.

  Yawn?

  Stretg, Lumina grabbed the covers yanking them off her body before sliding he legs out of bed. Grabbing a hold of her robe, she wears it before heading out the room and dowairs to the receptionist. "M, I don't think I actually got your name, miss?"

  Looking up from the desk to look at Lumina, she smiles before answering "It is Brenda dear, now why don't you go ahead and sit down at a table and ill get breakfast for ya?"

  Nodding her head, Lumihe front desk and headed to a table without anyone near it, watg the surrounding people and seeing their form of dress with most of them in pin cloth with a few in peared to be leather armour. Perking, her ears, she started to listen in to some of the nearby versations to see if there were anything important to take not of.

  "Hey, what you doing ter..." "Mrs Trumsey's figure is being rger..." "Did you here, the Sentinels are preparing a small punitive force to sort out..." "Get your fatass over here Jerry!"

  Tuning into the sounds one versation in particur grabbed Lumina's attention, but before she could carry on listening, Brenda came in with what looked to be a tray with mushrooms, meat and bread with a mug of water over to her table. "Here you are dear, the tub is being prepared so once your doh this, head back to ya room dearie."

  After Brenda left, she tried to find that versation again but couldn't find it thus chose to dig into the meal. The meat was very juid teasting like pork while the bread was a little dry therefore, Lumina had it with the juices from the mushrooms and gulping dower.

  Once finished, Lumi back to her room upstairs and upoering the room, thee was a rge wooden tub with steamy water and a soap and towel left to one side. Aw that's sweet of her. thinking this, Lumina undressed and soaked herself in what be sidered the warmest bath in a while letting herself temporarily rex for the moment. Several minutes passed by as she glided the soap around her body, cheg up on any wounds, seeing that they were healing and nearly gone aing out of the tub to dry herself oowel.

  Ensuring that she was dry, Lumina got dressed again ahe room, back dowairs and asked Brenda "Hey, where would the market be please? You see I'm new around here."

  "Oh, once you leave the inn, tur and keep going in that dire, there you'll find the market. Meanwhile, if you instead tinue up north on the cross roads, that's where you'll find the inner ring where main headquarters are. Hope that helps ya."

  "Thanks!" Lumihis remark as she rushed out the door heading into the markets. Just outside she sees the busily packed streets, a plete trast to how it looked at night where it was empty. The ground was wet from st nights rain with a st of fresh moisture in the air. Following Brenda's dires, Lumina finally found herself at the entrao the market where everything was busy with many potential ers bustling about.

  First order of business, selling my fox fur could increase my potential funds, then clothes are on the agenda. Thinking to herself, Lumina walked through the crowded streets and found what looked to be a sign that read hunter's home. It was attached to a building made of carefully renovated stoh wooden shutters for the windows that are open revealing some of the tents inside.

  Walking in, a bell chimed as the door opened and closed behind her. Looking in the room, there were various pelts and furs on shelves while taxidermy animals were hung on the walls. "Wele, what may I do for you?" An old, withered looking man dressed in smarter looking shirt and trousers stood up, wearing what looked to be steel rimmed gsses with a disarming smile that doesn't quite reach his eyes asked as Lumina stepped towards the ter.

  "Hey sir, I'm new around here and just wondered if you could appraise some of the fur that I hunted out in the forest and see what it could sell for." Answering the old man, Lumina reached into her leather bag and brought out the fox furs and pced them upon the tertop.

  "Sure no problem, I would be happy to do that for you." Grabbing a hold of his gsses he wiped them before adjusting them on his face as he muttered under his breath what felt to be an intation of some variety. looking carefully at the fur he finished his appraisal "First of all, they seem to be furs from an unon species of wild fox which would normally go for a higher price, but the quality of the fur brought back seemed to be damaged from what looks to be amateur skills in handling thus l the overall price you get." "It looks like you only get approximately ten small coppers, however if you sell it here I would offer fifteen small coppers so what do you say? deal?"

  Lumina spent a couple of moments in her own thoughts thinking, fifteen small coppers is better than nothing. Hiding her disappoi at the low selling price she finally answered "you have a deal."

  "Thank you for your patronage miss, if you need anything e backs soon."

  Walking out, she checked her bag and saw that she had twe coppers ay five small coppers in there. Hmm, lets head to the armour smith store . Thinking to herself, she lifts her head and saw the store for armour just sitting diagonally across from Hunter's Home. Walking in, Lumina saw a rge brown bear standing by the ter as other patrons were looking at different steel armours in the room. Slightly taken aback, Lumina didn't realise that there were a possibility for other races in this world.

  Swiftly ging her expression to one of nonce, Lumina walked up to the bear and inquired "Do you have any lightweight leather armour for sale?"

  Looking at the smaller woman across from him, the bearkin raised his brow before smiling slightly and said in a low baritone voice that made the room feel like its rumbling "In the box to your left." He then looked away and started servig some other ers who were starting to line up and order.

  "Thanks."

  Lumina, went into the boxes dire and started pig up the leather armour eventually finding a small set that aodate her curves without making her feel tight or breathless, the main armour being fuards, knee guards, leather boots, light chest armour and some shoulder pads. After making sure everything fits, Lumina walked up to the ter in order to pay for them.

  "That'll be e copper for everything total miss." The bear came to a rather swift clusion after making just a swift g the armour lying on the tertop. Quickly grabbing the out from of her bag, she pays for them and stuffed it into her leather bag which started to bee over filled when the bear stepped in and said, "I reend going to the magic equipment store, they have magic bags filled with various entments ensuring everything of a certain size fits in."

  Lumina thanked him for his reendation before leaving the armoury to find the magic store. It was slightly tucked away in a hidden and damp alleyway. Opening the door and stepping in, Lumina found that there were several shelfs filled with different bags with tags on the different entments that they had such as increased space, temperature manipution, time maniputioc.

  Looking amongst the prices, they seem to ih increased spad the more entments that it has not including the materials that the bag is made of thus, Lumina picked the most basic magic bag which still sets her bae copper leaving her with just eighty five small coppers fur clothes.

  Eventually finding a nearby shop that aodated female clothes, Lumina stood hesitantly by the door for a couple of moments. Whew, you do this! there's nothing to be afraid of. psyg herself up, she finally opehe door a herself in. Lumina was immediately bombarded with different styles of clothing and some subses that seemed a little... Risqué causing her cheeks to blush a slight crimson, being nervous and drawing the attention some of ers giving her curious looks.

  A blond pixie cut elf wearing a rather elegantly dressed suit waltzed towards Lumina before asking in a rexing, motherly tone "what I help you with dear?" Lifting her hand to her cheek and tilting her head in a cutesy manner.

  "Err- Erm I-I-I, don't have erm sorry Please?" Lumina's eyes darted around as she stammered out a ham-fisted attempt at a respohat got quieter as she went on leadio look down towards the floor and blushing up a storm feeling just like she wants to bury herself into a hole in the ground.

  "Of course dear, just e with me." The elf still giving off that maternal gesture grabbed Lumina by the hand and guided her to the er of the store started to speak in a hushed toowards her ear. "This is your first time isn't it??" Inquiring in a mischievous tohe elf ughed as Lumina yelped and backed away.

  "Don't tease me!" Lumina excimed silently while pouting.

  "Ok, but in all seriousness, the fact that you, a 'young dy' seems so embarrassed by just a normal women's clothes store meaher had all your purchases done for you beforehand or... You weren't inally a young dy but rather a man that is now a young dy. Going by your current expression it seems that it was the sed one."

  Lumina's blushing face started to go pale at the thought that someone else reised what happeo her and begun dreading what will happen now. "P-please don't jump to clusions I expin!!!" Lumina being desperate and frantic waving her arms slightly before she felt engulfed by the elf hugging her in a motherly embrad stroking her hair.

  "Shh, don't worry, I'm not judging, rex and breathe for me ok? I wont bckmail you, nor am I disgusted I merely want to help." Slowly ing out of the embrace after hearing the elf's f words, Lumina did as she said and took a few deep breaths. "Feelier now? its ok, tell Sylvia all about it."

  W up the ce Lumina was eventually disarmed by Sylvia's warm, non-judgemental inviting gaze. Of course she wasn't going to tell her everything but just the most relevant parts. Taking a seat on a nearby stool Lumina started "So yo see I... I was a man a month-ish back but I suddenly woke up looking like..." Gesturing to herself with hand motions "This, and I have only just e to terms that I... I like it but everything is so o me now and I don't know what to do." speaking like this to someone made Lumina feel much lighter.

  "I see, thank you for trustih such personal vulnerability." Sylvia smiled before proposing to her "Well to begin with, we will o measure your chest and body figure to find the right clothes, especially underwear as that is important. I know that this will be embarrassing but if I show you how to do it the first time then you will be able to do it yourself iure."

  Lumina blushed slightly before stammering out "Thanks." Sylvia smiled then led her to peared to be a ging room and pced the sign please do not disturb as she closed its curtain.

  "First we'll start with you taking the robe off, then we do the measurements for the bust, waist, inseam and hips."

  Lumina blushed further as she realised that she will be ando for this before doing as instructed trying to keep her modesty by pg her hands over her sensitive parts.

  "Stand straight, o be reserved we're both dies here." Sylvia chided getting into a professional tone while Lumina jumped in panic before doing so very hesitantly still blushing. "Good, first off for the bust we you around here uhe shoulder pits from the shoulder bde to the fullest part and uhe bust... It looks to be a 92, 108cm a det C size. Now for the waist we do it here above the belly button... Looks like a 60d for you hips you do it just below the waist here... looks to be another 92cm. Got that?"

  Lumina who was blushing up a storm nodded and squeaked out a silent yes.

  "Good, Now for the inseam yo do it from here..." Sylvia holding the tape measure at the crotch before croug down and holding it at Lumina's ao here. Now that you know this, you do it for yourself iure no longer having to be embarrassed to do this."

  "Now that I know your measurements I'll go find some clothes for you to try on in fort and fidence so wait here and I'll be back." Sylvia left and came back after several mio a slightly nervous Lumina and smiled letting her know its alright. During this time, Lumina tried on many styles of clothes, underwear and dresses before finding it most fortable for now to wear high leg pink panties with a tight sports bra and just over that some spats before she took out her leather armour and wore that as she put away her robe ready to wash it ter.

  Of course Lumina grabbed more tha and offered to pay but Sylvia refused saying it was okay as she wao help, "I want to know, why are you helping me so much?" Lumina feeling a bit guilty asked hesitantly before Sylvia sighed and replied.

  "I knew of others who were ged but the oute... Wasn't that good for them which is why I want to help those like you even more."

  Hearing that answer, Lumina apologised before leaving the store ready to head over to her destination the hunters guild in the inner ring to join them.
