Chapter 35 - A whiny powerless phoenix in human civilization

Lady Aelin saw the species she hates the most. Humans. Greedy, corrupt and weak. But she knows she can't do anything.

After all, she was badly injured at that time, in her fight with Akshura. She was in her last breath, when she heard these weaklings cry to survive. 

It's not like she wanted to listen or answer it. But then, she knows how desperate the members of her own species were, when they were hunted down, for their tears. 

They didn't want to die. They wanted to live too. They all must have carried the same intentions, the same pleading. And thus, for the first time in her entire life, Lady Aelin Westfall, who is famous for killing people, did this deed.

She thought about donating one of her life to this weakling. After all, she has countless lives, so giving one isn't a big deal. But, who would have thought, this weakling would influence her so much that she would actually end up transmigrating in that weakling's body too. 

Leading to a deep breath from the bandaged mummy. She closed her eyes for a moment, to feel the connection. The connection that a phoenix and a goddess feel, after the transformation. The connection link that makes the bird and goddess as one body, two souls. 

She tried, but no response, no reply, nothing. She opened her eyes, took another deep breath and tried to feel it again. But nothing. Making her sigh. Then, she closed her eyes and tried to feel her energy. Her power. Her strength. Again, nothing.

Now, this is the time, when she would generally curse her bird to death, while ensuring that it's ears would bleed from her scolding. But the problem is, the bird isn't even here to hear her scolding. 

AHHHH!!!! She shouted in her mind. While her bandaged face gives up nothing. In front of these aliens was a mummy lying on bed, opening and closing her eyes.

Why does that bird have to mess up every single time, in every single thing? Can't it do something, without a mistake? Huh! Now, she can't connect with that stupid, brainless thing. She doesn't even have the power to crush these humans beneaths her shoes. 

Most important part, does she really have to look and live like a mummy, from now onwards? Gosh, that would be so cliche. Someone save me. 

Not to mention, her soul is still wounded, all no-thanks to that idiotic lord Akshura, who would rather pick a fight then fuck her. 

AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! AHHHHHH!!!!!! Everything just goes to hell. Everyone just goes to hell. Die. Go to Hell. 

Ouch, wonderful, just great, so now she has to bear this motherfuckin pain, since she isn't a goddess anymore. Can things get worse? 

Oh, they can. See, now will they send me to a mental hospital or zoo? Because, their expressions clearly say, I have shocked them, enough. If I increase the intensity of shocking them, then they all will die. Die. Huh! Interesting. 

Then, they will go to Hell too. Hehe. Go, my children, my blessings are with you.Torture Akshura as hell for me. Just rot that fellow in hell. 

Although, phoenix's mind was running at the speed of light. Her face was as paralysed as ice. So, it's just Aelin's thinking, that these fellows want to send her to umm.. a zoo.

If she had the mind-link, the connection and  her power. Then, all that it will take is one blink. And that Aelin will be here, while she will be back to wreaking havoc on The Universe. But, see, that brainless bird again fucked up. When will that bird grow up? Just when! 

She is done, being it's parent and guardian. Can't it do a single thing, right? Fuckin single thing. It's not like she is expecting him to go and kill Athena. But at the very least, it shouldn't have messed up with this soul-transmigration thing.

Now, she will have to suffer because of that bird. 'I swear birdy, don't let me see you, again. Or I will pluck all your feathers away, with my own hand. Then, I will roast your naked skin with the fire and let the Cerberus feed on you, no matter how many times you get reincarnated. 

Do you understand, you fool? You messed up, again.' Aelin shouted in her mind. 

But nope, nothing. No response. Making Aelin feel like an alien among the very same species, to whom she loved to torment in her leisure time.

Well, practically Lady Westfall has been so tired and defeated that she ended up taking a nap, which turns into 6 months, as per Earth's time and all. You see, angel and timeline difference, concept. 

Fine, she is bound to live for millennials. So, why not live like a little girl, for a few decades. Besides, what would be the point of this soul-transmigration, if she didn't even do anything and return back. Not to forget, she came here with the intention of creating chaos, as a human. Then, how can she let go of the opportunity which is being served to her on a silver platter. Huh! Let's analyze the situation first. Observe and act. The basic funda of life and revenge. 

But first thing first, she has to get rid of this mummy state of her. She has to look like a normal zombie.. No wait.. what was that term.. phantom…no, it isn't that word.. oh right, beauty. 

She has to look like a normal beauty. Observe everyone and everything. Find out what happened to that girl, how her life was, who her friends and foes are and what she can do to live a better life.  Most importantly, how can she forget about her revenge, while focusing on living a humanic life.

After all, she is the best example of Boss Witch. 

Doctors explained her condition. According to them, she will be having difficulty in many things. She might not be able to see, hear, speak and all those things. [ Blah.. Blah.. Blah..]

But before they could finish, she simply said, "Can't you see your ladyship is alive? Now don't be so noisy. Get lost. Your ladyship needs peace and silence." 

Earning a shocking stare from everyone. Doctors just said she won't be able to understand the world anymore. Yet, she actually told all of them to get out. 

'...' 

  Now, where did things go wrong? Not to mention, that's Aelin Westfall's tone. Only if she knows, humans have stopped talking in honorifics and formal speech from centuries ago. 

It was no less than an ancestor paying a visit to its successor in the future type thing. Opposite of Doraemon.

"What did you just say?" Ashoka asked, with little anger and impatience. 

Damn, here he has been standing outside her room,from the last 12 hours, only to earn one get out. Bringing a small smile on Aelin's face, which gets unnoticed by everyone. After all, who understands the rage, the itch to fight, to create issues, to wreak havoc, to be the bringer of chaos and kill better than her. Answer would be no one. 

Aedion Kim decided to salvage the situation, before it can get worse. But before he could even utter a word, Aelin added, "Your ladyship guess you need a serious ear check-up, Mister. This ladyship just urges you to leave. Politely. 

Because, neither your ladyship is in the condition to welcome and attend you, nor your ladyship can tolerate the noisy background. 

You are lucky, mister. Since, you are not in my place. Or else, you wouldn't have hesitated to kill everyone, just to gain the silence and peace at the moment.

But if you don't understand the humble, polite urge of a patient, who is suffering here, then please show yourself out. The pain is becoming unbearable at the moment." 

As expected Mr.& Mrs. Kim got infuriated, but when they heard the apple of their eyes was in pain, they couldn't help but ask everyone to leave, including themselves . 

  Once everyone leaves, Aelin heaved a deep sigh and started introspecting on her life, then the topic changed to how she will toture the bird, then she started cursing the bird and so on.

Outside the room ; 

" Doc-" Before Sara could ask the doctor, he spoke up. 

" Mr. & Mrs. Kim, Mr. Rajput, this child has a really very strong will.  I am not saying this to flatter you. But I have never seen such a patient in my entire 50 years of career. 

She did not just win the battle against death. She even can see, hear and speak as normal as us. Though, her voice was a little coarse, which must be the after-effect of not speaking for so long. 

But all in all, she is well. She has a hell defying spirit. All in all, she is well. When, her body will heal a little and her body will be healthy and strong enough. Then, we can proceed with skin grafting, which we call plastic surgery in common language." Doctor explain letting Mr. & Mrs. Kim heaved a sigh of relief.
