Ritual of Ascension

[ShiroKirishiki]

"It is through Destruction,

that we are Reborn.

Tempered, Remade.

Brought ever closer to our Truth.

Long have I awaited this moment.

But this is not the end,

But a another

Beginning."

Elemental Fire burned at the veil between Reality and Nought. The Irradiant of Unlight boldly walked into liquid fire, and was Unmade. Her flesh was burned, her bones rendered unto ash. There was only her Essence to be seen, for the one known as Yuki Akatsuki had died.

And yet that was not the End.

And from the broiling magma, arose another. Wreathed in the Fires of Meranthe, did the Irradiant rise from ash. To be greeted in her Rebirth to a gathered audience and weeping faithful.

"From Ash, are we Reborn.

From Nothing, I have forged myself anew.

Another Cycle, another Destruction.

Another Rebirth."

Five tails of ghostly white had flowed behind her after the fire's retreat.
Yet, it would only last for a fleeting moment before they could no longer remain in Reality.
The Irradiant of Unlight was Reborn, like unto a Phoenix from Ash.
Stronger. Taller. Faster.
But her story is far from over.
