Chapter - Cobo!

The morning warmth of the sun splashed against my face, it felt so good. Mornings are truly a work of God, or Goddess, I love mornings.

...When did I...oh, I was in an egg shell. I wonder why it’s black, since aren’t eggs white?

Even though I have just hatched from an egg, I am extremely calm, as if it was normal. I am not panicking at all, weird. I was supposed to be the future back on earth, but now am a chicken, and surprisingly I don’t really care.

Turning around, I notice my Mother, a true behemoth of a chicken. I’m calling her Mother, because it feels natural for some reason, and since chickens lay eggs, I presume she is indeed my Mother.

Someone must have forced my egg open, and if I recall correctly, I made a slight crack on it before falling asleep, but I don’t remember getting out. That someone must have noticed that crack, and pried me open. If that is what happene…

“Cobo!” My Mother roared behind me, in an excited manner. However, I am no chicken whisperer, so I didn’t understand what she she said, but I knew she was excited from her glinting eyes.

Holy God, she just increased in size tenfold. Ahh, she just stood up and flapped her wings...her size, is my mother a dragon or am I just extremely short?

I, and my Mother are in a really big shed, big in my eyes anyway. There is a pile of straw in the middle, which I woke up on, and surprisingly it was very comfortable. However, Mother took up most of the straw because of how insanely large she is, I wonder if she cares about her size, since females back on Earth were very sensitive to their weight. I remember the time where I first learned that, it was with my mother back on Earth. I made a joke about her massive breasts, and how I could use some of my telekinesis to “lighten her burden”, there was no incest between me and my mother, we just liked to joke without limitations. However, she didn’t think of it as a joke, and stopped talking with me for a week, and trust me when I say this. She was the only one I ever spent my time talking with, due to the feeling of safety she gave me everytime I was beside her, and her amazing banter that always made me laugh. It didn’t matter if a joke was overused by everyone, because if it came out my Mother’s mouth, it was the funniest thing in world for me. After that depressing one week, I learned my lesson and was told the reason for the punishment, when she came to my room and we literally spent the whole night crying in each others embrace.

So, my current Mother, well she is...beautiful, and NOT big in anyway shape or form, other than the fact she isn’t human and is a really cute chicken, she seems to be a loving parent...actually, I was wrong. When she ceased flapping her big wings, her sharp big eyes locked onto me. I felt really small, before my mother, which was understandable since am still a little chick. However, I didn’t really know about chickens being extremely intelligent, but what if she thinks I am her food?

I am her son, and even the dumbest animals would know about their own offsprings. Since I am her son, I therefore am too a chicken, but I am different. I may physically be a chicken, but apart from that, I am light years in difference. Believe it or not, I was known as the very first magician on Earth, with real superpowers. However, since the path to reach what I achieved was with many benefits, like a permanent enlightened state where you would be able to see through lies and deceit, this gained me instant attention from all the mass media. So, after the world acknowledged my powers, I was offered lots of jobs and positions of wealth. At the time, the young me and the hero inside me couldn’t sit still, so then and there in front of all media, I declared the unification of the whole world under equality and good. So from ten years old, I spent the next five years learning about world history, philosophy, law enforcement...all the things required to become a president. During this time, my powers made immense breakthroughs, where even some of my worshipers exclaimed that I “rivaled the Gods”, but it was a bunch of nonsense. Gods were called Gods for a reason, they are the creators and nothing should rival them. However, during this ever growing burden of uniting the world atop my meagre shoulders, my power manifested a strange vision and made a breakthrough, but the manifestation felt very alien, feeling like something not from this world and not meant to be. At night, my breakthrough became apparent in the astral realm, looking back on it, I don’t think it was the astral realm but something completely different. It showed me my fate.

I was not surprised to see myself standing at the pinnacle of the world, with only one country called “Futeriety”, looking up at me, at me who was 329 years old. My ancient age must be due to massive breakthroughs of power. I watched my future self, and could only stare in awe. My future self offered itself to a Goddess, when she appeared and said: Fate was ne…

It seems I got a little sidetracked. That’s right, I am not just a mere chicken ready for eating!

“Get ready for the rekt!” I attempted to shout at my Mother, but all that came out was: “Qwapo! Qwapo!” It was really strange, hearing your mouth say something else from what your mind tells it to. My jaw also felt different, since I could only move it up and down, not any other way. I also didn’t have any teeth, but that is to be expected of a baby. However, Mother doesn’t appear to have any teeth, and she is an adult. Regular chickens don’t have teeth, but regular chickens don’t grow that big. So she isn’t…

It seems I have made Mother excited, from my little declaration. She took one single step forward, and sqadoosh! She is right before my eyes. I tried to run away, and use telekinesis to decrease the weight acting upon me, by adding a constant push going up from every single place on my body. However when I tried to run, I tripped over my own leg because of not being accustomed to my new body, and when I attempted to use telekinesis, my head almost exploded from pain. More so, I was swiftly snatched up by Mother’s giant beak.

I was now five feet in the air, weak from the psychic dehydration of forcibly awakening my prowess, and I am currently thinking about whether or not I will be eaten. Thankfully, being in the air allowed me to look at my own body. I am fluffy, puffy, small and gray, I am a black chicken. My mother is golden, whereas am grey, so does that mean am going to be cursed with bad luck?

Since golden chickens...or whatever Mother is, aren’t they supposed to lay golden eggs. That can mean I am the 0.1% chance of being laid egg, a cursed egg. Wow...I should have had considered being a veterinarian instead of trying to unite the world.

The area Mother had shut her beak on, seemed to numb my pain, just like the elbow of humans. I knew where she grabbed me, it was the scruff of the neck, the area that dogs and cats get picked up by their parents. Mother was carrying me towards the door of the unknown, I was a bit scared since for all I know, it might be the door to the slaughterhouse. However, I felt really safe right now because she was carrying me by the special place, a place reserved for parents. Knowing that this gigantic bird is taking ownership over me, just makes me feel save. Something about having a gigantic dinosaur as my Mother, is really cool. Unless, she really is taking me to a slaughterhouse.

Just five steps from big mama, is all it took to get close to the door. As we reached the door, Mother did not do anything but the door simply just opened immediately. Telekinesis? No, that cannot be, esp...oh. Under the doorway, stood a...dog-man? Doggy? He has a really happy and confident look on his face, he has brown dog ears, and a short scruffy brown tail. I hate him.

I might be really prejudice towards him, but seeing my Mother’s dazzling eyes at seeing him, just didn’t sit well with me. Apart from that, I had to facepalm myself after almost coming to a conclusion that my Mother is psychic. However, I had no hands, but my wings moved up and slapped my mother in the face, and she abruptly let my neck go, and I fell to the ground.

My Mother and that Doggy seemed to be having some sort of reunion. and thus completely ignored me. I took the chance to enter the room that was opened, because I came to the conclusion that this is no slaughterhouse. First, there is no cattle cages to breed animals, nor is there any tight security around this place. Second, there is no screams of pain, which should be heard, and nor is there any blood anywhere. Lastly, the atmosphere of Mother and Doggy seem very positive and calm, and I think there is a normal family living in a big house, with a nintendo world record biggest chicken in their shed.

So, this is a hall...anti-climatic. I thought I’d be greeted with flying cleavers, maniacs, bombs...scratch that last one, no normal family keeps bombs in their home. Actually, put ‘bombs’ back on the list, since I am still unsure about this family.

There were three doors to choose from, the one north at the end of the hallway, the one on my right, or the one on the left. How am I going to open them? I am now pretty sure that I am the size of an adult cat, since I compared myself to a door, it was easy to get my approximate height. I’ll just take the one at the end of the hallway, and wait for the romantic couple to get over here, the romantic couple being Doggy and my Mother. I hate you, Doggy.

Taking careful steps down the hall, in order to not awake anyone that might be sleeping, and to also get more familiar with this body. The door on the right is suddenly opened, leaving me with no time to react or use psychic powers, which would probably fail again.

I am on my butt, again, it has started to become sore, and my beak feels like it has a crack going through it. Fortunately, this situation was another in my favour, as I can now look at my feet. Two long skinny feet, with three claw like toes, which would probably be useful at snatching stuff. The feet will replace my hands, which were literally replaced by wings that probably don’t even work, if I am a chicken.

My feet moved under my body, which was lifted in the air by someone. Someone who grabbed me by the place reserved for my mother, and had done so in a sneaky manner.

Now am going to unmask that person by lifting my…

“Took you long enough, to get out that egg” A charming voice reached my ears, with words that I understood. I did not know how I understood, when I was unable to understand Doggy back there. However, I felt that it didn’t matter right now. In front of this divine...a child.
