Fire flashed bright hot in my mind as it spread from cell to cell slowly as if a slowly building flame that started in my soul and worked its way out to encompass all that I was. Unbidden, tears flowed from my eyes and screams escaped through my parted lips. There was no keeping them at bay, there was only surviving to the next second and the next. Bones broke and reshaped themselves, the cracking sounds filling my ears, as my skin tore and reshaped itself and two wet slippery things punched with great gusto out of my shoulder blades with a tearing sound that could only be described as horror itself. I was changing and suffering through it. Vaguely I heard Tutu laughing at my misery and commenting on my own stupidity.
Some gifts were really more like curses, and Tutu, in all her glory, was certainly one at this point.

At that moment my mind joined my body in the hellscape of pain that had become my home for what felt like forever. Beads of sweat on my brow that were once a byproduct of my changes evaporated as my head heated up to levels I was sure were going to be deadly. I felt my throat tightening as the pain of a long scream after a long scream. My vision went black then white before I watched picture after picture flashed through my mind at the speed of light and integrated themselves into my mind. Five hundred years of life were pushed into me in a matter of minutes and I was paying for it. The scene from my nightmare finally came to its replay and there I saw my end at the hands of the man I loved, the man who had taken everything and everyone from me at once. A man who I owed a great debt of hate to, a man, that time. I would repay.
[Not with that weak body you aren't. You are basically a newborn at the moment. Just taller….and with more womanly features. But strength wise…a baby could truss you.]
The pain started to subside and I felt a cooling sensation as it seemed the world and myself had finally stopped burning.

[Get up.]
The familiar voice of the system woke me from my stopur to realize that the pain had gone and the fog in my mind had cleared. With a shuddering intake of air screams escape from my trembling body. As I once again lost control of my body and mind a storm approached and raged around me as my grief increased, so did the storm. Its screams echo of my own, the scathing of the wind that could and was stripping bark from the trees and leaves from the branches was another echo of the pain in my body and soul. Before long droplets of water joined the fray and pleated everything around me with hash smacks, leaving myself soak but unharmed. I could feel as the rage and grief grew so did the storm.

Somewhere in the Realm of the Gods
"Why the hell did no one mention she was an elemental ability user?!?" a small girl with a pair of headphones around her neck glared at the other gods around her who were all watching the same screen as all of them. This was precisely the Goddess of Destiny, Votona, herself.
"Erm…well….we did not know ourselves…I mean, we all figured she has our elements but an elemental is unheard of when we were living on that plane of existence. If we had known we would have told you." Belanor spoke up. As the God of magic, he should have known but natural elementals were truly that rare. He was both frightened and proud of his grandchild.
"Well…fine. I will forgive you lot this time, but that is only because my bestie did not manage to kill herself in her first unleashing like most Elementals do. Mostly thanks to my brillant mini-me. Alright. Belanor, get an update ready for her magic tutorial, and I will fucking get an patch update ready to adjust all of the systems. Especially that of your bloodlines', so that WHEN they unleash they don't die. Because, let's be frank, if she unleashed, so will the rest of your bloodline." She paused for a moment and a bright smile appeared on her lips as she suddenly went from serious and mad, to excited and proud. "My bestie is actually pretty awesome, and lucky. This Goddess is the best friend of a Living Elemental with Fey and Dragon blood lines. Oh, I cannot wait to brag about this on the Fate Forums. They are going to be SOOO jealous!" With that she skipped off chipperly.
Left behind were the Elder Gods that were the Grandfamily of that very same bestie.
"Hexi is never going to be able to shake her off at this point is she?" Tairleirth asked the group.
"Nope." The others' answered in unison.
"Well…let's take one problem at a time. For now, we can be extremely happy that she waited until now to unleash…otherwise…." spoke Xiddron.

A not so soft yelling of 'Get up! I'm up, then you're up! We are in danger!' on unrelenting repetition in my mind.
With no lack of great effort I managed to get up with regret as each portion of my body both ached and screamed in defiance to my proposed action. Still, though Tutu was more insistent, and after having peeved her off more than once, it was safe to say I had learned my lesson on that front fast.
My mind snapped into focus as a twig snapped out of my view followed by a howl in the distance.
Only one word for this situation. Fucked.
