Mattie Love - Alchemist - Quest D7 - Z RPG Series Z

this theme was difficult, and it pushed me a bit painfully. i ended up having to train a LoRa for 9 hours and 28,000 steps. =\

Mattie Love felt the shift again, the familiar unraveling. It wasn’t painful, not anymore, but unsettling. Each tear in her form brought a fleeting memory from the scattered pages she was becoming; a glimpse of a smiling child, a headline about distant lands, a recipe for spiced plums. She focused on the small wooden bird clutched in her hand, its painted wings chipped and worn. It was the key, she knew it. The final piece to stabilize this fractured state. Years spent studying transmutation had led to this precarious moment; merging with the echoes of forgotten stories to create something new. A sigh escaped her lips, a puff of paper dust swirling around her fingers as she whispered an incantation, hoping to bind herself before the fragments scattered completely into the ether. The bird pulsed faintly in her grasp, a promise of wholeness amidst the chaos.
