Suddenly, the pain hit her; though not nearly as sharp as the others. An
aftershock of sorts, as Vent would word it later. "Oww..." He said weakly, his entire body throbbing in pain, more so in some places than others. And that was when the real changes began.
The new girl let out a quiet squeak as two long, delicate antennae slowly sprouted from the previously-noticed bumps on her forehead, which hung limply over her eyes. She could feel her structure becoming even lighter than it had been before, so light that it felt like she could only just stay on the ground. It wasn't just her weight placement; no, it felt like her very bones were hollowing out. If she thought logically, which, unfortunately, wasn't happening at the moment, she would have realized what came next.
Indeed, two large, crystal blue wings sprouted from her back, causing a loud ripping sound in her shirt. She screamed in pain as the new nerves, untouched by her deadly disease, let him feel clearly for the first time. Unfortunately, it was a feeling that he would rather have forgotten entirely; pain. And it was extremely painful. The wings, which seemed dampened and not fully operational as of yet, flapped feebly on their own accord.
"Oww... Ow... Make... Make it stop..." She whispered; even if she looked healthier, it was obvious that she was still weak little vent on the inside.
"Well, it seems everybody is adjusting well..." The icy voice of Dr. Kayne echoed through the room. "Yes, the pain is temporary, but the effects are not. Welcome to your new lives, everyone... Feel free to explore your new home."
Behind them, what was once a wall became a massive door, opening to reveal a huge, sprawling forest. In the center was a crystal lake, and the artificial sky seemed to go for miles. "I believe you will find everything to your... liking... Enjoy your new lives..." And with that, he was gone.
