Kate transitioned with the help of a Goddess, one who let her grow and change in the peace of her magically protected grove. There was just one condition: she had to judge the other would-be women who came to receive those same blessings, and reject those who did not meet the Goddess''''s standards. For a long time, Kate happily tested them, told them terrible lies, and sent them away to die as men. There were standards to meet, and she was the golden child, yet eventually, that scrutiny came even for her. She left the grove and the Goddess to find new ways to live, and better ways to continue her transition. But it''''s always been in the back of her mind, and years later, her dreams seem to be telling her that the grove and everyone who''''s every passed through it is in trouble.
