I could see again, I could feel again , and I could breathe again
Alive, I was really alive and what a wonder that was.
The bright warmth of the sun’s light beaming down on me was replaced by 3 distinct sensations. Firstly the weight of another body on top of mine. It was a girl? Had my plan created with gum and wire really worked? Has she journeyed with me ? The thought was astonishing. Originally Pseudo sentient mana, had gained a physical body.
Second, the blockage of the sun from what seemed to be the familiar faces of my parents hovering above mine.
“Is that you? “ Woodley exclaimed in fantastical excitement as he jumped back
Ignoring my parents this one time, I continued the rant in my head. Thirdly my body felt different , my brain , my ears , and eyes all were sharper. My former cloud of confusion was replaced by a remarkable clarity. I could feel how immensely powerful I was , akin to a supernova power painted my being like the oceans of the world. I was amazed .
Mana leaked off of everyone , each person having a unique color about theirs. Mine was black ,perplexingly so.
Autumn's hair and eye color changed from the former gold to white .Her body was regressed and thus she assumed her true age. I was getting tired of saying my own name , perhaps she should choose her own name.
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
“ oh baby? “ my mom reached to grab me but stopped half way , sporting a look on her face showed a mix of fear, uncertainty and reverence.
Lifting the female me , I stood up jumping out of the coffin in one swift movement. The physical prowess of my body hadn’t increased but I was always an active kid making it easy enough.
This caused my parents to retreat as I approached. Were they actually scared of me ?
Looking at my reflection in a sword embedded deep within the ground, I finally was able to fully behold what I had become.
Around me were 3 guardian angels staying completely still and motionless, presence almost invisible save for the fact of the black halos flickering from the motion of hungry ravens above them. .My eyes were replaced by white orbs with golden reflecting iris. My hair was now gold and my body was covered in gold tattoos. Not only that but the serenely sleeping autumn lying on a gravestone fit for a pharaoh only made the scene more surreal.
when my feet made contact with the grass life ebbed , specifically flowers of a multitude of varieties.
A prophecy encrusted in living things was what this image was reminiscent of.
Taken aback, I flinched . that was me?
Behind my parents a woman of mature age approached, with them unaware. Leather boots , brown trousers and a white blouse. Similar to something a pirate or Mediterranean dweller would wear. I could’ve been my heightened senses but I could sense the difference between them. I Prepared myself for combat ,the angels reflected my intent. All there of their heads lassoed towards the unknown perpetrator
Seeing this the woman raised her hand and lowered her head. In a gesture that meant to display her peaceful intentions. Though this didn’t satisfy the seraphim. Oblivious of how close she was flirting with death she steadied her dance of ignorance into the waters of danger .Judging from the look in her eyes nothing could stop her, she was in a trance. Mystified, she approached .
Drawing its mighty bowstring back the seraph of the bow aimed for her head .A quick decapitation was going to ensue.
Though not a moment too soon her body trembling she prostrated herself before me
"Ophiuchus... Black Saint... Autumn," she pleaded desperately, her voice trembling as she begged for her life.
