Reborn

16 - Reborn

100%

Phoenix had finally reached 100%. Her mind, her powers – all functioning at absolute max.

It put on the form of the deceased Mother Gothel and cackled. Rubbing It's 'hands' (or rather, Gothel's hands), It conjured up an orange, churning non-being from It's 'hands' and shot out It's hands, sending it spiraling faster than the speed of light towards Phoenix.

It slammed into her chest, which instantly glowed bright orange. There was a flash of blinding light, and then the light disappeared. Phoenix's head arched backwards and her arms stretched out on either side and she stood on her toes. There was an orange glow that he could see through her skin.

Like a snake, it slithered around inside of her, entering her bloodstream, infiltrating her cells, her brain, every part and fibre of her body, of her being, until she was absorbed in it.

Once it was done, her whole being jerked and then her head straightened upwards, but her arms remained out-stretched. Her eyes were now closed, but her mouth formed a perfect 'O', and she slowly kept turning 360 degrees on her tiptoes.

It, now in the form of a dragon, cunningly smiled. The non-being Phoenix had absorbed was part of It. It was now a part of her very being, what she breathed, what she thought. He now had complete control of her in every sense of the word. She was his new temporary power source. He'd unlock and awaken every part of her brain, every part of her powers...

...and It would absorb every part of it, gaining new energy, until she faded into nothing, fully absorbed into It.

She had finally been reborn.

Is the term 'non-being' original? I'm not sure. If it isn't, I apologise to the person who coined it - I'm not claiming ownership or anything.

Enjoy the rest of your day/night!
