Summary
Light.
It was the cold, sterile kind. The kind that smelled like bleach and burnt your eyes.
Chuuya grimaced, struggling to cope with it. His head hurt. His body hurt.
He slowly opened his eyes, adjusting to the light.
…Glass.
He was in a tank.
A phoenix, vibrant and proud, rises from the ashes to be reborn into a new life. They talk about it often, in folktales and song, admiring the grandeur of it all.
They don't talk about the flames. The agony of burning alive, being consumed by the ravenous fire.
They don't talk about the ashes. Lifeless, grey and crumbling.
They don't talk about the endless cycle of it all.This is the story of flame and ashes, and the phoenix's last cycle.
