Feathers
Passing your hand on it, you have the impression that you are caressing something soft, but that is neither hair nor skin. Although you are afraid to look, you know that it is the only thing to be done, for denying this situation could only make it worse in the long run. You have to see it, to observe it, so this new reality will be yours...
Bracing yourself for the possibilities that assail your perceptions, you decide to turn your gaze toward the site of your irritation, to see what the strange sensation that you were feeling a moment ago, while you give in to the craving that burned in your spirit.
The sight that greeted you is not something that you could have expected in the first place; instead of the patch of skin that was previously there, there are now some feathers, shining in the light, a rainbow of colors that were beautiful to observe.
However, if there are feathers on your arm, then it could mean that the substance that was coursing in your veins was something meant to alter your physical shape, although there is a chance that the effects of the toxin could end there, the results that it brings on your body is enough for the experiment that was ongoing.
As the burning sensation spreads around, you feel your skin peeling away, replaced by the same feathers that you just saw; what is the point of such a transformation? What could it achieve in the end? It is indeed a confusing situation for you, but is there really time to ponder such a thing?
At the same moment, you can feel your muscles ache; you have the impression that someone was trying to pull them away from your body, but you know it isn't the case at all. However, even if this impression is quite strong, the fact that you are still alive, without spilling your guts and humors all over the floor, meant that it is just a feeling.
