Tipping the Scales

Odelia has spent most of her life so firmly under her brother's thumb that she might as well have been an insect trapped in a chunk of amber, but now, at long last, something is happening to her. Too bad it's not a nice, normal, something, like a 'meet cute,' or a job offer.

Odelia is metamorphosing.

The process transforms her in ways that are simultaneously crippling and a source of wondrous creative power. Who knew magic could be so gross, so downright icky? Or that power, far from freeing someone, might just make their enslavement even more desirable?
