"Echoes of Destiny: The Blacksmith's Chosen"
0 Points
0
Though draped in the veil of an ordinary 16-year-old life, young Alex's world was about to be thrust into an extraordinary reality. It had been an entirely unremarkable day, filled with the humdrum activités of teenage life, when the unexpected happened: a goddess of inexplicable power chose him. Her voice, a harmonious symphony that echoed through the corners of his mind, filled him both with awe and deep dread as she unveiled his destiny. Alex was to bear a hero, a beacon of courage and valor, for another realm entirely.
This disconcerting revelation came not in a dream, or through a celestial presence descending from the sky but in the form of an ethereal whisper that curled around his thoughts. It promised greatness and glory, but also a tremendous responsibility. Alex was to be no mere vessel, as his whole way of being would have to transform - literally.
The goddess's voice, resonating with power and authority, instructed Alex to follow a path that momentarily appeared before him, an iridescent trail shimmering in a spectrum of colors his eyes had never seen. Bemused, bewitched, and scarcely believing, Alex dutifully obeyed.
The trail led him to a place suspended in the void of nothingness and everything, a mystical forge owned by a man known as the blacksmith of bodies. His colossal figure, adorned with monstrous muscles, and shrouded in an aura of fiery intensity, towered above Alex. Fear clutched the boy's heart, but he remained steadfast. After all, he could not question the words of the goddess.
The blacksmith fixed his penetrating gaze upon him, a brutal smirk bubbling on his blistered lips. Meticulously, he guided Alex towards what appeared to be both an anvil and an operating table, a strange concatenation that invoked in him a curious awe and deep fear. The metallic coldness of the chains clattered inevitably against the table as the blacksmith bound him, securing him to his new life and destiny.
Glowing crystals orbiting in utter chaos, hammers of pure energy buzzing with anticipation, and an atmosphere crackling with impending transformation were the last things the mortal eyes of Alex took in before the operation. His heart hammered in his chest, his adolescent life seemed to replay in fits and spurts across his mind, morphing disconcertingly into a vision of a 40-year-old woman named Hannah, a proud mother of three children. Sweat traced his terrified face as he swallowed down the incredible reality.
But before the first scalpel of energy could land, before the blacksmith drew his first breath to start, Alex felt a strange peace wash over him. A gentle lull in the hum of the cosmic blacksmith’s shop. And with that, he closed his eyes, resigned to greet his new life and to bring forth a hero into another world.

Prompt: A 16-year-old boy, Alex, is called by the goddess and says that he will have to give birth to a hero in another world. To do this, she takes him to the blacksmith of bodies, who forcibly grabs Alex and chains him to something like an anvil and at the same time an operating table. He is preparing to turn Alex's body into the body of a 40-year-old mother of 3 children, Hannah. Describe everything before the start of the operation on Alex.
