Title: "Echoes of Divinity: The Forge of Heroes"

Transfixed beneath the celestial veil, 16-year-old Alex stared into nothingness. He was digesting the ominous decree of the unnamed goddess, an otherworldly voice that boomed like millions of cymbals clashing simultaneously. Her words were clear: he was to bring forth a hero in an alien world. Crossing the boundaries of logic and reason, Alex remained silent, bound by a strange mix of dread and curiosity.
As if summoned by Alex's unboroed thoughts, thin apparitions materialized out of thin air, the goddess's will compelled the surrounding ether into solid form, projecting a blacksmith beyond any imagining. Bulbous muscles twisted and morphed under a lava-cracked skin, chains of primal energy interwove across his Herculean body. His eyes glowed with an otherworldly light, igniting refractions against his crystalline corneas. In his untamed hands, he clutched a set of blackened chains that whispered of countless forsaken souls, destined now to anchor a mortal to his mystic anvil.
Almost ceremoniously, he twirled the chains and Alex's body lifted into the air as if controlled by a puppeteer. The boy was then shackled firmly onto the space between a metallic anvil and an operating table, the terrifying amalgam seemingly ripped straight from the fevered dreams of a madman. The coldness of the steel seeped through Alex's clothes, a chilling reminder of the surreal nightmare manifesting before him.
Around him, shadows disassembled into myriads of spectral figures. They danced delicately around Alex, an audience, booths traced with silhouettes and tones of monochrome. It was as if they were there to watch an opera of existential transformation, their collective watching eyes glowing faintly in the enveloping darkness.
The blacksmith, like the artist before his canvas, readied his tools. Each piece crafted from starlight and torment, they hummed with the weight of their purpose, imbued with divine energy and given physical form to implement their cosmic chore. In his colossal hands, he held a peculiar instrument most resembling scalpel and tongs, radiating a strange brilliance.
From the corners of the vast cosmic theatre, the heavy scent of ageless iron and unexpressed fear began to suffuse the air. As the goddess continued to chant in some ancient, unbeheld language, the air seemed to ripple with unseen waves. The blacksmith's tools shimmered and vibrated with latent energy, waiting the initiation of this ordained operation.
On the anvil-cum-operating table, mere moments from his transformation, Alex lay still. He took shallow breaths and tried to steady his racing mind. He was on the precipice of becoming Hannah— a 40-year-old mother of 3 children, entrusted by some divine decree to bear a hero for another world. His life was at the mercy of the goddess's will, her mandate pulsating like a heartbeat throughout the cosmic stage, awaiting the lowering of the blacksmith's ethereal blades.

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.
