The moment that whisper sounded, it seemed like the whole world froze, like time had stopped, but it was only for a moment and then a series of explosions sounded out.
The magma raged like someone had provoked their dignity and they wanted vengeance, and while all this happened Vin's body continued turning Ethereal until he was burnt to oblivion, in its place only ashes remained.
It was at that point another faint whisper echoed.
"Rebirth"
At first glance, it seemed like nothing happened, but if one looked closely there was a faint red spot shinning within the ashes and as time went on, it became brighter and more clearer until it became easy to recognize.
It was a Flaming dark red Phoenix with deep purple Flames burning around it, it's eyes were deep purple with cross shaped red pupils to match. The Phoenix looked so majestic like it was the king of the world.
"With the fate of the world as your core, your flames will burn reality itself, now soar high young Phoenix. You who is the wielder of the Karmic hell Flames, be free and unrestrained." the faint whisper said again, it's voice becoming fainter at the end until it disappeared finally.
And as if on cue, the raging magma boiled and thrashed with even more vigor as if welcoming their king and just with even more vigor the Phoenix rose and soared to the sky
"Shrieeeeeeekkkkkk"
It shrieked loudly into the sky, seeming to announce it presence to the world. Not minding the impact it would cause to those who saw it then it swooped down.
Meanwhile ~
Three days had passed since the Vin incident, no one knew where he went to or why he disappeared and frankly no one cared.
The thatched cottage became even more desolate without maintenance, it's environs filled with leaves and dirt. A crisp footstep was heard a someone walked on the twigs and then stopped beside the cottage.
"You still haven't returned huh,¿" A husky old voice said before its owner vanished like it was never there. Shortly after another step was heard "Hmph, this place has become even more pathetic than you ever were" a raspy voice scoffed.
"To think I even favored you on the past, how beneath me" the cold voice sounded again, this time in disdain, this person was naturally Suzanne Reina.
She had come here to confirm if Vin had truly died and didn't survive by a lucky chance, she turned around and was about to leave when.....
"Shrieeeeeeekkkkkk"
A loud shriek was heard throughout the Flaming sun sect and its surrounding environs, and in the distance everyone could see it clearly.
A Majesty red bird with violet Flames burning around it, it shrieked loudly as of announcing its presence to the world and then It swooped down and vanished on the cliff.
"Wha... What... What the hell was that?!" Suzanne shivered as she panicked, that beast it felt.. It felt like it was.. Staring at her and in that moment she felt like she had been marked as a prey by some terrifying existence.
It only took a moment before commotion spread around everywhere, everyone who had seen that Majestic beast was talking about it.
"What was that?"
"Did you see it?"
"Of course!"
"That's that's a Phoenix right?!"
There was commotion every where as everyone was talking about it.
On a majestic mountain that seemed to be lited with eternal Flames sat an even more majestic flame palace, inside were five people who sat around a table, each one with a commanding presence but four of them were not able to contend with the one at the head of that table who sat on a throne like chair.
His presence alone demanded respect and reverence, he had flaming red hair and his seem to emotionally flames, his muzzles were packed to the brim and filled with battle scars a testament to his achievements on the battlefield and he wore tight fitted battle robes.
This person was Dominic Dimitri and he was the present sect master of the Flaming sun sect. The rest of them were also important figures of the sect, they were in the middle of an important meeting when they also heard the domineering shrieks.
And five pairs of eyes immediately glanced at the source, natural unlike the ordinary people with their power they were able to see the true identity of the beast, and they knew it was a Phoenix that had gained Rebirth.
"Old Bai, isn't that... ?!" the deep voice of Dominic stated as he glanced at the husky old man beside him. "Hmm, indeed. It's about time" old Bai said as stroked his long beard, naturally he also knew who that person was.
How could he not know, when he had literally taken care of him for two years, he was surprised true but he was even more pleased. He had just been thinking of the kid a short while ago.
'You don't have to worry about a thing kiddo, run wild, I'll take care of the rest' he thought to himself with a relived smile on his face, Dominic glanced at him from the corner of his eyes but didn't say anything, how could he not understand how the old man felt.
The rest of them seeing as the sect master kept mute about that matter tactfully kept shut too, no one wanted to provoke the ire of the old man, they knew how terrifying he could be when he got angry.
...
"Rip! Scewvvhv"
Faint sounds of intense fighting coukd be heard but it stopped after a while followed by rapid breaths.
"Too weak" a cold but domineering voice sounded, this person was actually the source of the recent commotion in the sky. He had deep purple hair with pristine red streaks flowing down his shoulders, his eyes were a lighter shade of purple with cross shaped red pupils and although he wasn't overly packed with muscles he was definitely well defined.
His deep red robe added even more wildness to him, naturally this robe didn't belong to him, when Vin had fallen into the magma his robes had been burned to crisp.
This robe was naturally taken out from the ring on his finger, it turned out to be a spacial ring that had bounded to him when his blood had touched it, at that time he hadn't noticed it because he was being chased by demonic beasts.
When he had regained back his human form earlier, he had noticed he was stark naked and bolted to the forest immediately before he began checking out his well toned and improved body.
He marveled at how much he had been transformed by the Phoenix essense, it was at that moment he noticed the ring on his finger which surprisingly hadn't been burnt or damaged at all.
He felt an intricate connection to it and instinctively sent his awareness to the ring, his mind emerged on a small space, the size of a room while he was still admiring the place he was almost shocked pit of his wits as he heard a husky old voice.
"Kid, if you're able to enter this space, that means you have successfully Awakened your bloodline. I'm sorry I couldn't explain things to you clearly but the next time we meet I will."
"Now then, this spacial ring is not any ordinary ring out there, it's actually a small world I created sometime ago, but it has lost its use to me now it's my gift to you as well as the contents in it"
"Make sure to take good care of it as the stronger you are, the bigger the space in the small world will be, you don't have to worry about people coverting it as since it has been bound to you, only you can see it, no one else can, well except me of course since I created it."
"Well, that's that, take care of yourself kid and most especially. Run wild!" the speech ended there unceremoniously.
