It's been an embarrassing 2 weeks since my transformation. It took me three days to learn how to walk with the extra weight on my back. Another two days to run and climb. Then it took me another five days to relearn my martial art with the help of Cinder. Conveniently it seemed to have adapted to my new form and incorporated moves so that I can use my wings. Then it took me four days to learn how to fly, although that wasn't relearning anything so it wasn't that embarrassing, just fun. It was amazing, gliding through the sky, looking beyond the endless forest, and watching the sunset on the ocean.
I guess its finally time to head to the city now. I should probably check on Ash's evolution first though. For the first time, I used my shadow walking ability, entering my own shadow like walking down a staircase. It was odd, one moment I'm walking down invisible stairs and now I'm walking up to them, out of my white shadow. As I looked around I noticed Cinder meditating next to a huge black flame. What was that?

Well then, I may as well just wait for her. I sat across from Cinder and started to meditate as well. I had some blood to cultivate after all. Focusing my attention on the blood pearl in my dantin I saw two flames continuously refining it. My violet flame and the remnant flames of Ash's fire blood would not give in to me absorbing it. Below the two fires was a lake of blood that I had not absorbed into my pearl yet. This was bothersome, every time I needed to cultivate I had to focus on just this. I could be doing other things right now. I needed a way to circumvent this. Hmmm. I wonder. While I was in my dantin I summoned all of my magics and fused them. Now, a pulsing flaming whitish black mass was floating next to my blood pearl. Pulling it closer to me I started to mold it into a replica of me. I let out a smile when I heard a soft chime.
|Congratulations on forming a Magic Spark. Information: You have created a body from your magic essence. It is a sentient being that lives within you.|
Floating before me was a replica of Cinder and me, although she had bright white eyes.
"Master, what is it you wish of me?" After having Cinder call me master for so long I had kind of gotten used to it. It was still weird to have it directed at me though.
"You will be called Lucy, I wish for you to cultivate my blood pearl and energies within me." "It will be done, Master." She floated up to the Blood Pearl and started to gather the sea of blood beneath us.

I watched her for a while longer before exiting my dantin. Opening my eyes I heard a cracking beside me, it seems that Ash is about to be reborn. I wonder how she will react to her new changes?
Ash (Pov) 3 weeks ago
I unleashed my spiritual pressure on the woman in front of me. Where did she get her information, how did she know what I was? Slowly she dropped to her knees, staring at me with murderous intent. Just as her palms were about to hit the ground a relentless aura erupted from within her. It swallowed my spiritual pressure like a drop of water in an ocean.
She stood up, glaring at me. As she walked towards me her shadow came forward as well, doubling the pressure I was feeling and forcing me to my knees. My hood fell and she smiled. That's when I saw them, two glistening fangs. I was helpless as she knelt beside me and bit into my flesh. It was an orgasmic feeling and yet all feelings were slipping away from me. My body felt light and my eyes heavy.
I was about to die, and it was my fault. She didn't provoke me in any way, she didn't attack. She just chuckled at my name. My death is my own making. Just as my last breath left me I felt something soaking my throat. It was heavenly, it felt as though my entire body was being cleansed, I had to have more. Latching onto this heavenly liquid, I drank and drank, for what felt like hours before I was removed from the source. My eyes blurred open and I saw the woman standing above me talking to someone next to me, a man I think. My eyes shut before I could think about it more.
I'm not sure how long it's been since I woke up. All I know is that when I think about the woman who bit me, all I can feel for her is reverence. As I was stuck in my thoughts I heard a cracking around me, light poured in blinding me. Blurrily I stood up, I could see two figures standing next to me. One was completely black with glowing red eyes, the other was the woman. Trying to take a step towards her I stumbled, I thought I was going to fall until the woman caught me in her arms.
In her arms, I felt safe, protected. She proceeded to sit me down on a rock next to her. A velvety voice sounded throughout the forest.
"I'm not sure if we have been properly introduced. My name is Seras Victoria, the one next to be is Cinder Victoria, your sister." Wait, what? I don't have a sister. Although looking at her, I did sense a bond between us I just couldn't figure out what it was. Before I could articulate a word, the wom… no, Seras interrupted me.
"Cinder, can you explain what has happened. Also, make up a story for why the Bishop has disappeared for three weeks and that I am not responsible for it."
"Yes, Mam."
"I will talk to you later Ash, it's good to see you." Her wings glistened and her eyes flashed. She was the embodiment of beauty. Why wasn't she staying, before I could protest she sank into white light. I looked towards Cinder, she was an identical twin to Seras, and yet I didn't feel the same affection radiating off her.
"So can you explain what happened to me?"
Seras (Pov)
That went much better than expected. However, she didn't seem to know what had happened to her. She did feel safe in my arms though, at least that's what I took from the way she snuggled into my embrace. Hopefully, Cinder and she come up with a believable story by the time I reach the gates to Sapphire City. I'm strong but I don't want to fight the entirety of the church.

Shit. Mentally, I let Cinder know in case they wanted me to use magic in their plan. That it would not be possible. Ok, I won't be able to use magic, that's fine, I just need an alternate way to fight besides my martial arts. As I continued towards the city limits I scanned the shop. I just couldn't find anything to my liking. "Alex, use the lottery tickets I have."

Well, that solves my weapons problem, and I was getting quite thirsty. Just not for blood. Ten minutes later I was at the entrance to Sapphire city, everyone was staring at me. I'm gonna hazard a guess and say it's my wings. No one stepped forward to talk to me though. A few minutes later I was at the gate. The two guards were staring at me, well, staring at my chest more like. "Hey, numbnuts, my eyes are up here. Can I go in?" That seemed to shake them out of their stupor. "Yes mam, that will be 3 spirit coins." They stumbled out still glancing at either my breasts or my wings. Wrapping my wings around my body it seemed as though I was just wearing a feather cape. I handed them the coins and walked in.
