Raymond's eyes slowly opened, the drowsiness of sleep giving way to the awareness of a new day. As he pushed back the covers, he swung his legs over the edge of the bed and stretched his muscles, feeling the tension from the previous day dissipate.
With purposeful steps, he made his way to the bathroom, where the sound of running water greeted him. The steam from the shower enveloped the room, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Raymond undressed and stepped under the cascading water, feeling its rejuvenating touch on his skin.
As the water flowed over him, he allowed his thoughts to drift away, focusing solely on the sensation of the warm droplets against his body. The rhythmic patter of water provided a soothing soundtrack, washing away not only physical grime but also the residual stress and fatigue that clung to him.
With each passing moment, the heat of the water seeped into his muscles, easing any lingering soreness and invigorating his senses. He stood tall, allowing the water to cleanse not only his physical form but also his spirit. It was a ritual of renewal, a symbol of shedding the burdens of yesterday and embracing the possibilities of a new day.
Emerging from the shower, Raymond wrapped a towel around his waist and moved to a comfortable spot in his room. He sat cross-legged on a cushion, his back straight, and closed his eyes. As he settled into his meditation, he called upon the memory of the water's warmth, using it as an anchor for his focus.
With each breath, he envisioned the heat flowing through his body, not as discomfort but as a source of energy and strength. The intensity of the heat mirrored the power and energy within him. He connected with the fire that burned deep within his being, harnessing its power to propel him forward.
As he delved deeper into his meditation, Raymond embraced the heat as a metaphor for the challenges he faced. Just as the scorching sun could be both punishing and life-giving, he recognized that his own trials and tribulations were part of his journey toward growth and transformation.
In the stillness of his meditation, Raymond cultivated a sense of harmony with the heat that coursed through him. It became a reminder of his unwavering spirit, a symbol of the inner fire that fueled his purpose. He found solace in knowing that, like the sun, he possessed the power to illuminate and burn even the darkest corners of his path.
'Ra ... You never told me , but i feel that my wounds are healing , thou they will leave a mark , why is that' Asked raymond while he meditate as he had seen himself in the mirror and the wounds are healing
'OH ... that, i should probably explain it better' Said ra as he was confortable in his "pet mode" as raymond call it and he was in the top of raymond`s head
'As you made a contract with me you gain things as i mutate when i had come here and many of my things either changed or dissapeared' Explained Ra
' So here are the things that mutated or are new:
- You have now Regeneration
- You have thermal vision
- You have temperature sensing ( if the temperature change withing your radious, you notice it)
- You have fire generation
- You have fire inmunity
- You have fire affinity
- You have a space affinity
- You have a curiously time affinity i may add' Finished Ra explaining all under Raymond`s shocked face
'WAIT.... , wait could you explain better?!' Thought Raymond
'*Sigh* I will explain one by one so listen carefully' Stated Ra
' You have regeneration as you know one of the characteristics of the phoenix is to rebirth from the ashes ,so after making the contract ... magic got involve in the equation and that characteristic from rebirth was heavily nerfed and transformed into regeneration
The next one will be thermal vision , i´ll be honest with you i have no fuck*** clue about that , the only theory that comes to my mind is that after the contract and the inclusion of magic your tetrachromatism evolve to something related with my element that affected your affinities
With fire generation as you Homo Magi can do it alone, the benefict of that is that the fire you generate will be more potent as you grow physically and magically , and it cost much less magic that using one conjuring magic
You have fire inmunity because when you were tortured, my energy was unlocked and well... we both know how much you hated that part , the good news is that your magic made your body inmune to fire due to that or because my affinity is fire you are and certainly not damage by that element
Space affinity as it is mention is simple as you had seen my previous avatars teleport around the field , it´s appear that this skill mutate with me to become an affinity
And lastly the most awesome of all ( i may add) time affinity , it´s appear that my time vent created an affinity for you , very ,very interesting
So what can you do ?, you may ask
It´s simple you can see the past events and how much will depend on your strenght , kind of like assasins creed syndicate scene reconstruction
' I ... see , very well all of them are pretty interesting , it´s possibilities really are very interesting' Conclude raymond
'One question ...' Asked raymond to ra
'What?' Asked ra curiously
' Can i still control the explosive feathers?' Asked raymond as he had a couple of moves that wanted to try if he could do that
'Oh , yeah ,you can do that normaly' Replied ra a little amused
After a few moments of deep reflection, Raymond slowly opened his eyes, feeling a renewed sense of calculation and possibilities . He rose from his meditation cushion, the warmth from within now radiating outward, ready to face the challenges of the day ahead.
With a towel draped over his shoulder, he moved with an objetive, ready to seize each moment and embrace the heat of his journey. As he stepped into the world outside his room, he carried with him the lessons learned in the shower and in the depths of his meditation—a reminder that even in the face of adversity, he possessed the strength to persevere.
