Happy birthday

It took five minutes for Gempi's limbs to regrow.

Five minutes for my blood to completely answer her desperate prayers to any and all the gods she knew of for the past god knows how many long, lonely years.

Five minutes for me to rise to godhood in her mind.

Five minutes for me to gain a ferocious fighter as one of my most loyal followers.

Five minutes for Father Fortune to prep his wondrous gift for me.

"This… This…" Tears streamed down Gempi's face as she stared at her slightly too pink but otherwise extremely normal pair of arms. "This… Huhuhuhu… Huhuhuhuhuhu…"

She was very, very happy.

The most emotional people are usually those who are usually the most laid back on the daily.

Those people had learnt to bury their emotional triggers deep beneath layers of apathy and emotional disconnect.

But usually the deeper they bury those triggers, the stronger and the more explosive their emotions become when they finally erupt.
