I materialized on the day I turned four. I saw the younger me opening presents and smiling bigger than I had since my mother died. The modern me walked over to the me of the past and I swiped my hand through her hair but she didn't notice since technically I didn't exist.
The younger me waited until my parents weren't looking and then charged into the woods. I followed dreading what I knew was going to happen. The little me ran through the pine trees until they came to a campsite.
My four year old self ran over to the campfire and looked at the glowing wood deep in the flames. Then the voice came. It simply said in a voice sharper than glass "take in the gift and change everything." Apparently that sounded appealing to me when I was young.
Little me clapped her hands and said "yes!" And immediately flames circled me and that's when I took on the so called gift of sight.
