Long road? I'll take the crash course.

When Neptunia woke up, she felt like she was hit by a truck...multiple times. She opened her eyes and immediately shut them. It was bright, way too bright for her sensitive eyes. She moved her head and squinted to try and see where she had landed.

Regalia was sitting in a chair reading a book and Neptunia grinned thinking, finally picked up a book did she? "H-Hey." Her voice came out croaky due to lack of use. Regalias gasped and got up. She moved towards Neptunia and her hands fluttered about before pressing the button to call the healer.

Regalia grabbed the water bottle on the table nearby and held it Neptunia's lips. "Slowly.."

Neptunia drank it and licked her lips, last time she was awake...it was the first of August. Neptunia moved a little, and Regalia got the hint and helped her sit up. Neptunia was anxious, she didn't want to stay in another 'hospital'.

The healer entered and started the check-ups. Regalia was smiling and looking hopeful, so that was probably a good sign. The healer was humming every time she saw the results and that was another tick in Neptunia's checklist.

The healer nodded after it all was done, "You are good to go, just take it easy for a few weeks and you shall be back to perfect shape in almost no time."

Neptunia smiled and nodded at the healer. She thanked the woman for help and looked towards Regalia who look worried but happy. Neptunia sighed and raised her bandage ridden arms to invite Regalia for a hug. Regalia ran in for a gentle hug. Once she pulled back she asked, "What happened to you? Do you know what today is? The fifth of AUGUST!!"

Neptunia sighed, "I took down an undead organisation is what happened!" she smirked, "Okay, so these Hydra people were after me and they thought I was a mutant yeah? So for a few days, they tried to make me, Ummm, do stuff like their bidding. But I was like 'Nah mate, that ain't happening'. And yesterday she gave me a dead violet-"

Regalia interrupted her quick and witty (in her opinion) recap to ask her what kind of violet, and Neptunia responded by making a living violet. Regalia stared at it before saying, "Violets, a symbol of innocence and purity." Neptunia paused as she held it. She stared at it. Neptunia hesitated and Regalia took that as her chance to take it and tuck it into her braided hair, which surprisingly had turned into her preferred colour. The violet flower fit in perfectly. Neptunia smiled and continued to tell the heavily edited story and made it seem like she had hurt herself while transforming.

Oracle soon had gotten the same story when she visited Neptunia during one of her recovery and physical therapy sessions. Oracle smiled, "It's a long road to recovery, Neptunia."

Neptunia looked away to Regalia who wasn't allowed to train like her but was allowed to watch. After all, she hadn't turned ten yet, but soon she would and soon like her, she would join the training, Neptunia smirked, "Long road you say? I'll take the crash course."

The next few weeks saw Neptunia training her elemental powers from the ground up again. Now she could control two elements at once. Also, she had mastered all the elements when used individually. She could also transform into a wolf and run at fast speeds without tiring. She learned a lot about Natural and Made Werewolves. The Natural Werewolves were werewolves who were born with the abilities and Made Werewolves were the ones who were turned by a Werewolf bite. Neptunia learned first hand by a few elemental Werewolves about their hierarchy and how it worked. Neptunia suspected that she would study about Made Werewolves in the future.

Something else that Neptunia found out was that she was an Omega. An Omega was the heart and soul of the pack. If the Omega wasn't happy and at peace then the pact wasn't either. Since the Omega holds the pack together, she was responsible for the peace. And Neptunia was overly pleased to find out that when an Omega was angered, hell hath no fury. Although since she was neither, the transformation at full moon did not apply to her. Although, she did have some pack instincts and canine senses.

Neptunia was delighted to find that Regalia while new was as clumsy as she was when she began. She used this opportunity to tease Regalia relentlessly though not cruelly. Seeing Regalia try to go the same path as she did, was little heartwarming though.

One evening when Regalia was trying to perform specific functions of one element and Neptunia was trying to control three elements. So far she had mastered Water and Fire (when used together of course). Now she needed to add the other elements to the mix. Sure, it was easy enough to do each element on its own but something that was quite giddy inside Neptunia itched to be the best.

Although Neptunia was a bit bummed that she hadn't received any letters at all. NONE! Neither Harry, Ron, Hermione nor Draco had written to her. It was a bit disheartening actually. Were they not friends? Did they finally decide that Neptunia was too freakish and leave her? No. That couldn't be right, after all, they had become friends knowing who she was. A metamorphangus and an elemental. They knew her and she knew them. Of course, something wrong must've happened with the owls or they might not be able to reach her while she was in the Elemental Kingdom.

Neptunia paused in her training, the elements floating around her. She needed to get her supplies and if that was the case she should have her letters. Neptunia took a deep breath in and used an elemental summoning spell to bring her Hogwarts letter. After all, the letters were usually delivered by now.

Once she got it, she proceeded to open it. Neptunia blinked. Lockhart? Who was this person? If the number of books was this long then it was definitely Lockhart who was their teacher. A lot of these books seemed unnecessary to Neptunia. Still, she shouldn't judge people based on their cover. Neptunia pursed her lips. Looks like she'll have to go shopping later. Soon, she'll be back at Hogwarts, her home with all of her friends.
