Chapter 9 - Chapter 9 - Gift (2)

In the dimly lit chamber, the metal figure underwent a transformation that transcended mere color changes. As Aedhira observed, the once pitch-black armor now shifted to a radiant white. The falling stars on the sides of its head hovered with an ethereal blue glow, casting a soft illumination on the surroundings.

The visor, once a dark abyss, now radiated with several white lines that spread throughout the figure. Parts of the armor transitioned to white, revealing intricate golden engravings depicting scales and fangs. The cloth components, like the left sleeve and the skirt, followed suit, transforming into a pristine white that revealed the delicate golden designs of minimalistic scales and an oriental dragon.

The armored right arm, also transitioned to a pristine white, while also smoothing out some of its previously jagged edges. It looked less...intimidating, while remaining bulky.

As the grills lining the armor radiated heat akin to an engine preparing to ignite an engine, a sense of purpose emanated from the transformed figure. The once obscured details now unfolded, presenting a tapestry of craftsmanship tailored specifically for Aedhira.

With a soft hum, the armor opened up, revealing its hollow insides. It was not merely a suit of armor; it was a seamless fusion of technology and magic, something that would become an extension of Aedhira's very being, growing along as he did.

The transformation was not just aesthetic; there was a manifestation of a connection between the homunculus and the intricate design that now adorned him.

The chamber seemed to respond to this metamorphosis, as if acknowledging the significance of this change. Ethereal lights danced around Aedhira, casting intricate patterns that mirrored the golden engravings on his transformed armor. The ethereal lights blinked, then seeped into the metal, the golden engravings now lit up.

The homunculus rose to his feet, feeling the weight and energy of the armor, which seemed to resonate with a newfound power. As he took a step forward, the soft glow of the lights accompanied him, creating an ethereal ambiance that surrounded the newly transformed Aedhira.
