Injustice 1.5 - Chapter 7: From the ashes
Cremation, noun, the disposal of a dead person's body by burning it to ashes, typically after a funeral ceremony.
And thus, Garfield Logan was to be cremated, but.. This is where something.. Interesting happens..
While the corpse was left to burn in a controlled environment, an ancient force had taken advantage, Garfield, had taken the form of a phoenix in previous years, now technically possessed the DNA of a phoenix and you know what they say about a dead phoenix being lit on fire, it's reborn from the ashes..
Suddenly the corpse started to jerk and roll around, somehow the furnace door flew open and he tumbled out onto the ground, the fire seemed to intensify, opening his mouth to scream in pain but no sound came out.
The fire continued to burn, as ancient symbols and markings began to appear underneath the charred flesh, what appeared to be a new set of skin beneath the charred flesh was beginning to become noticeable.
Garfield's emerald eyes faded to a pale white, his hair a literal fire and his very soul an inferno.
He let out a snarl as flames surrounded his clawed fists and feet, he found himself harbouring an inconceivable rage within, where this rage was directed at was unknown to him as of this moment.
He started to tear at the remaining charred flesh with his flaming clawed hands, semi-dry blood seeped through his sharp fingers, ignoring whatever pain this may have came from said action.
Soon the charred flesh was gone, the only flames his hair and the auras of his clawed hands and feet, he breathed in and out heavily and slowly.
He grit his fanged teeth in the slight anger that still remained, he tried to let his emotions, body and mind settle, but found that something was preventing that. How irritating.
He carefully pushed himself back onto his feet and stumbled a bit, as he got used to the action once more since his death.
"I hate Mondays..."
