Krys felt this strange feeling in her body. It started in her extremities. Her toes and fingers alternated between hot and cold and it felt like she was getting little pin pricks all over her arms. She closed her eyes as it moved inwards, towards her torso and that is when it started hurting. It was like catching a rose and being pierced by the thorns. It happened all over her body. Little pricks all along her arms and legs, crawling up her torso and neck. Not very painful, but enough to make her wince. It started feeling as if the energy was rushing into her brain. Her entire life, all her memories and emotions, flooded her being. She gritted her teeth. Then it stopped. All of a sudden everything turned back to normal. She slowly opened her eyes, expecting to see bloody marks all over her hands and arms, but there was nothing. She rubbed her arms as if she were cold and then looked around. It felt like a few minutes had passed, but it had been only a few seconds. Her head throbbed a little. "That.. Was unpleasant to say the least. Thank you Astros, for giving me your energy. I think I will try transforming now."
She thought about what Takeshi had said about transforming. For a few seconds she closed her eyes and concentrated. She thought something was happening, but when she opened her eyes there was nothing different with her. "Nothing. I guess it isn't going to be that easy", she chuckled. I'll have to really dig deep if I want to do this, she thought and remembered the weird feeling that she had felt when Astros had infused her with energy.She tried pulling it out of her. She could feel the tingling again, like her powers were manifesting when suddenly her head started throbbing again and she stopped. I need to rest for a bit I guess. I can't stress myself too much. I have powers now, I could feel them, but maybe I should build my strength first to control them.
She took another sip of water from the canteen Vixen had given her. It helped her a little, so she had some more. Wow, that is much better. I guess my body needs time to adjust. I guess this new life is going to take a while to get used to. She sank lower in the sofa and started staring out in front of her, occasionally eyeing the TV.
