part four
apotheosis
Serana crashed into the sky. She felt the stars sinking into her skin like fresh ink. The voice of the divines intrudes her thoughts:
A worthy being.
Such a brave thing to touch the sky, little bird.
You dared to reach the stars and you have met them.
She feels her body torn apart, then forged anew, a power so expansive, so deep settles into her skin. She nearly chokes on it. To have such a thing… there would be no end to her reign if she wished. She stares up into the blinding light, searching for any divine face she can. She finds nothing.
She is now one of them.
And with that blessing, she falls back to the earth.
