It's amazing how fun and exciting birthdays can turn out, especially when someone such as myself gets invited. The wonders and splendors I have to offer those seeking it can go beyond imagining, but can pretty mundane if needed. Whatever I, and of course, the individual desires. But there was one party I was invited to that was notable compared to others.

Most of the time people look to me for transcendence from their simple human bodies. This can range from becoming a little bit beastly or an extra limb or two, to being transformed into a completely different creature altogether like a minotaur or hydra. On the rare occasion I get requests like loosing limbs to become reliant on their close ones, or something completely immobile like a mushroom.

But one birthday girl and her friends had something completely different in mind. They wanted me to banish them to the Realm of Flesh! They must have been clan newbies who somehow came across my research into such a fantastic place. Considering their eagerness, and the fact they knew of knowledge few are supposed to know, I was happy to oblige and make their wish come true.

I had gotten better with opening portals to the Realm since that very first time during the Industrial Age, so in a few moments of using my magics I had the portal open. And threw the whole lot of them in. Some cheered, some were stunned by the haste with which I propelled them into such a place. Regardless, they all ended up in a nice little cavern of flesh. After a few minutes of them taking in what would ultimately become their new home, the miasma began to adjust their bodies.

Guided and forced by the mysterious power at work, the birthday girl's friends - men and women alike - ran up and splattered into her, all of their bodies smashing together into a hump of clay-like flesh consisting of their various skin colours. Smushing and folding over itself, eight long tendrils elongated out from the mass before morphing into the various limbs of her friends, while the central mass smoothened out into nothing more than a pink torso: the birthday girl. The whole party was nothing but a fusion of limbs to a single torso.

Certainly a special way to celebrate one's 18th birthday. I've checked on them once and they seemed to be doing good. Made a couple new friends along the way, and a couple new limbs too~

Note to self: lock my place up better so clan newbies can't go rummaging through my work.
