“When this is over, I’m going to find you. I love you, Ren. I am filled with regret about how I’ve treated you. I am so, so sorry.”
“I know.”
“Seeing you die-” He shuddered, “I don’t think I realized how much-“ He interrupted himself, shaking his head to clear it. “It doesn’t matter.”
She laughed, wrapping her arms around him and letting her power flood around them. Quickly, she flew them out of a broken window and down to safety.
“Well, that’s definitely new.”
“Lots of things are.”
They were frozen, staring at one another, & unable to resist the pull, she kissed him.
And thank all that was holy and good, he kissed her right back! Her soft kiss turned more intense as he pulled her closer, afraid to let her go after seeing all that he saw tonight.
Her heart was soaring!
“I don’t understand what the frack is going on.”
His human brain was spazzing right now. He'd watched her be turned to ash!
“That’s okay, I know, and I’m going to kick his ass. Now, is everyone out? Everyone safe?”
He rubbed his hand over his face, totally confused, overjoyed, stressed, and freaking the frack out.
“Yeah, yeah, as far as I know.”
“Okay, ready to fly down?”
“Do what now?”
“How are you alive?”
“I was reborn, apparently I’m a Phoenix now.”
“Like Fanta?” He broke out in a coughing fit.
“Long story, we have to get you out of here!”
“I’m not leaving your side.”
“You have to, I have to find him.”
“Frack that! He fracking killed you!”
She smiled, “Yeah, but I’m better than him now.”
Well, more like it was now an even fight, but she’d keep that from Ren.
“I was worried about you, came in just as that fracker killed you! Frack, Elsie, I thought I’d lost you!”
“You’re okay?” Worry filled the peace she’d felt before. How did he survive the Phantom?
“Yeah, yeah, he didn’t see me, was mumbling to himself, plus the smoke and… everything.”
He grabbed her up, roughly, full of fear and relief as he hugged her tight.
“Frack. Frack! You died! You fracking died!”
“I know. I saw dad.”
He just hugged her tighter.
She’d never felt better in her life!
Physically, she was stronger than ever before.
Emotionally, she felt a peace inside that never existed before.
“You’re alive! How are you alive!?”
Her body settled to the floor as she looked in shock at Ren standing next to her.
“What are you doing in here!? You need to get out!”
And when she rose from the ashes of her past, she was not the same broken soul who had died only moments before. This woman was made whole, wounds, scars, heart, and soul.
The broken girl who crumbled now rose as a powerful being who was ready to take on the world.
Within the circle, the fire built.
And when the merging happened, Elsie’s screams filled the heavens with their painful cry.
Change, no matter the kind, was always fraught with pain.
And then the cries died, breath stolen as her lungs filled with fire, as every microscopic cell was changed.
And as her body changed, so did her soul.
Every part of her, the siren, spellcaster, and the ancient blood of her ancestors, fully merged into one powerful being.
She hugged her dad one last time, holding him tight as she sobbed.
He was the one who had to pull away and lead her into the circle where Fanta waited.
“I’m so proud of you, Elsie, and so proud to be your dad.”
“I love you!" She sobbed, "I miss you so much.”
“I love you too, baby girl. Now go change the world.”
Change the world? Hardly.
But she was for sure going to kick some major ass.
“No, dad, please. Let me stay here. I want this life, with you.”
One last, hopeless, attempt to stay.
“There is rarely peace for justice keepers.”
“Elsie.” Fanta called softly. “I’m ready. You’re ready.”
“I’m not.”
But she moved forward anyway. Because, for all her faults, she always tried to do the right thing. Even if she often didn’t know what that was.
It was time.
She didn’t want to go.
She didn’t want to do this.
”A life of service requires great sacrifice.”
“I don’t want to live a life of service! This is not the life for me. I'm so tired, Dad, I want no part in any of this!"
“Baby girl, you’ve already started it. You put justice above your own happiness, you’ve spent your adult life working to save people & keep evil from destroying lives. This is your purpose, it always has been.”
But only after being told that if she did not go back, the Phantom would go after Ren because he saw them together, & knew her soulmate’s importance. After that, he would go after the others who were tracking him.
If she didn’t let Fanta go, too many other lives would end.
So she held him one last time, telling him how much she loved him, how much she would miss him. Fat, fiery tears fell from him as well, though he continuously said this is what he wanted, what he was born to do, what he’d been waiting on for their entire lives.
She loved him more than she wanted to live again.
Which pissed him off, which meant they argued, loudly, for a very long time.
Morrow had to intervene. He held her for ages as she sobbed, for him, for Fanta, for the child she was, for the life they all could have had.
After many long, agonizing hours, she relented.
But his physical body would be gone. The way they’ve 'talked’ over the years would be gone. How would she survive without him? Throughout all the good and bad in her life, since she was a child, he’d been there.
He was the one and only constant in her entire life.
He did not call it death, but she did.
He said it was a merging of their souls, that he would always be with her, but so connected that she would not know the difference. It would be a new 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑚.
Long hours passed, which she was told would have no effect on the real world. But here, she was having a long, emotional talk with Fanta.
He had to die in order for her to become a Phoenix.
