- Meanwhile -
In the void as soon as Amaterasu faded from Auldens sea of consciousness she reappeared by his side looking at Fate with a smile on her face.
Calliope frowns even further when Amaterasu materializes, Amaterasu sees this and crosses her arms with a mischievous smile plastered on her face.
"What is she doing here?" Calliope Mori asks nobody in particular.
"Oh I just happened to be asleep when I senses a disturbance nearby. Low and behold I found this irregular and your group lording over his existence, I just wanted to be a part of this game like the 3 of you. The difference is… I'm siding with the irregular." Amaterasu responds to Calliope's question with a beautiful smile that radiates warmth.
"Tch, side with him as much as you want it won't change the outcome of the match." Calliope Mori responds coldly.
- Back to Me -
As I stare at the three floating drops of deep crimson red blood in my sea of consciousness I start to think of ways to refine it. At first I tried to guide the blood and absorb it the same way I did with the other three types of energies. I attempted to draw in the blood for what felt like a entire day but with no luck, the three drops of blood did not move.
My next thought was to consume the blood, I start to focus intently on a single drop of blood and try to guide it toward me. It took all I had just to move a single drop of blood, I put intent into my thought for a single drop to float toward me. As the single drop of blood came closer to me I feel a urge to drink the blood.
Without a second thought I opened my mouth and move my right hand gesturing for the blood to float in. As soon as the blood enters my mouth I close it, instantly I feel my mouth on fire, also like I just ate a spoonful of chili powder. The heat is so intense it feels like the flesh of my mouth is being burned away. The thought crosses my mind to spit out the blood but I immediately reject this train of thought. If I was to spit out the blood it would be a waste of resources as well as a insult toward Amaterasu who sacrificed her own blood essence for my sake.
My only course of action is to swallow the blood, so I do, as the blood flows down my throat and into my stomach I feel the heat and burning sensation follow.
The pain that followed afterward was the most excruciating pain I had felt in my first lifetime. I felt as if my soul form would explode from the electrical pressure, as time went on the feeling only intensified. My thoughts start to run wild.. will I die here? Can I even die again? Will my soul simply dissipate? But soon my mind is cleared and I can think straight again, I don't know what force is helping me to regain my senses. I don't feel any outside interference helping me, the power is coming from inside me from somewhere but I can't pinpoint from where in my soul it comes from. Just was my mind clears I feel another urge but this one is a lot more concerning. My urge is telling me to assimilate the blood into my own veins.. So I follow this urge.
I slice my wrist and motion with my hand to the two left over drops of blood. The two drops of blood start to quiver and shaken in excitement, I start to think this was the correct course of action. As the blood comes into contact with my own blood it instantaneously dives into my veins and I see the blood forcing my own blood out. Time flies and as the blood essence makes its way into my body the pain is excruciating. I start to bleed out of every orifice as the blood essence makes it way throughout my system. The pain is all that is on my mind until I finally pass out.
