Chapter 19: My Rebirth

     I opened my eyes and found myself standing beside Nagura. I was still wearing my armour but wasn't blazing of fire, nor was my skin green at all. I looked at my body and saw that it was transparent. I could see through my own hands and body! It was then I realized that I was dead, my ghost standing beside Nagura.
     " Nagura!", I yelled at her, but she didn't answer me. She instead walked towards my corpse and knelt down beside it. I heard footsteps ahead of me and looked up to see Anas and Dogan. Both men stopped dead in their tracks at the sight of my dead body, and Dogan yelled with a pain from within. He ran towards my body, collapsed beside me and held my body close to him. All he could do was to cry and weep, while Anas stood right behind him with a sorry look.
     I looked at Nagura and saw that her face blazed with rage. Her eyes started glowing brightly of dark blue. She looked at Dogan and ordered in a new strange deep muscular voice," Leave her".
     Frightened, Dogan complied and backed off. Both he and Anas were aware of Nagura's sudden behaviour. Nagura then knelt beside me, placed her right hand on my body's chest and her left hand on the forehead.
     " Do not worry Nina. From today onwards, you shall become one of us", she said in the same muscular voice and brought her face near to mine. Fine traces of dark blue vapour evacuated from her mouth and entered mine. A blue fire appeared above Nagura, descended upon my body and engulfed it.
     She stood up and looked directly at me. I was surprised that she alone was now able to see me. She smiled and said," He's waiting for you dear. You'll be alright".
     A bright blue light immediately followed and shined above me. It overshadowed me and took me away into an alternate realm filled with a bright dark blue mist that enveloped me. Meanwhile, Nagura looked at the others and spoke in her voice," She's in his hands. Now I must avenge her death!".
     With that, Nagura took to the skies and flew straight towards Sara, who by then had tossed Seth's sword aside and grabbed the Sceptan by the throat. She was about to drain his life force when Nagura came in between them like a bullet, speared her and smashed her through buildings. Nagura also smashed her against the streets and created a long trail of destruction, punching Sara along the way. Sara however finally grabbed hold of her fist and gave her own punch which sent Nagura flying into the air and crashing against a vehicle. Sara stood up and racked her head. She gave an intimidating smile at Nagura, who's rage now increased and caused her to fly towards her at a breakneck speed. Sara also did the same as well, and the two forces ccollided and gave off a huge explosion.
     Dogan looked at Anas and asked," What was that about Anas?".
     " Its her rebirth Dogan", replied Anas. He then looked at him and said," We have to help Nagura immediately. Sara's way too powerful now to be stopped by a single force".
     " But what about...?".
     " She'll be fine Dogan. Trust in Alied", reassured Anas.
     While Dogan's eyes sparkled at the mention of Alied, Farax yelled from outside," Hey you two! Come on! Nagura and Seth needs help!".
     " Let's go Dogan", said Anas," While there's still time".
     Dogan looked at my engulfed body, smiled and followed Anas.

     I decided to take a small walk, hopeful that I may find a means of knowing where Nagura took me too. It was then that I took notice of a giant anatomy of a man meditating on his knees. I walked cautiously towards him as his structure was strikingly familiar to me. At last I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw the face of Alied, the god of wisdom and the first born of Elmas.
     " We meet at last my dear", he spoke in the same deep muscular voice which Nagura herself spoke few minutes ago," Nagura summoned your spirit here. Please seat".
     There was one thing that was very unusual about Alied. Although being the most powerful among the children of Elmas, Alid was the most humble and second most respectable god in the Relics. He talked with anyone as though they've known each other for years, which usually made things easier for people to speak with him. His wisdom was what I could say God-given,  since it was the Supreme Being that made his father.
     I did as I was told and sat on the air as he did. He then asked me while his eyes were closed," You have a question to ask?".
     I nodded my head in conformation.
     " Ask, and it shall be answered".
     " Please sir, why I'm I here?".
     " Nagura wants to save your soul by offering you a blue rebirth, which means that you will reborn as a master of the blue flame".
     " She wants to save me from death?".
     " Yes, for one final fight".
     I paused for a moment, thought about it and later replied," I've been with these people for a very long time. They've shown me so much love and care that I didn't find anywhere else. They have always been there for me, have always been ready to die for me, and now are still willing to save me from the hands of Death herself. I've never seen better friends than these, so it's a yes from me sir. Let me live so that they too can live".
     I saw the big god smiling and wearing a satisfactory face. He opened his eyes and said," Very well my daughter. You are now reborn".
     Brightly coloured blue flame flew from all directions and engulfed me, transforming my armour into long sleeved mystical robes that had embroideries of blue flames all over it. He opened his mouth and a much brighter dark blue trail of fire evacuated his mouth and nostrils and entered mine, elevating me up to his level. When he was done, I was seen floating with a new found power surging in and out of me. My eyes also glowed brightly when I opened them, and I felt new and improved.
     " Go, and save your friends before it's too late", warned Alied.

     Dark blue chains surged shot out from Nagura's hands and flew straight towards Sara. The latter dodged the attack which later accidentally hit Farax in the face. Seth came into view and tried to slash her with his sword. She however caught the weapon and gave him a powerful headbutt that sent him crashing forcefully into a nearby bank. She fired two powerful blasts from her fists which destroyed the bank and trapped Seth instead. She later saw Anas about to strike his bracers together at her. She flew quickly towards him and prevented him from doing so. She gave him a crippling bow on the lower rib and flung him at Nagura who by then was charging towards her for a strike but got hit by Anas instead. Dogan spinned and kicked her in the head. Seeing that that didn't work, he shielded himself from a deadly blast from Sara which destroyed his shield completely. He got up and missed a deadly punch from Sara. After missing another one, he attempted to attack but was stopped short as her left hand held his right bracer and broke it. She then grabbed his neck with her right and lifted him up in the air. He struggled to break free, but her grip was very strong.
     " I'll make sure your death and that of Nina's won't be different", threatened Sara with a devilish mind.
     Before Sara could do what was intended in her mind, her eye caught sight of someone coming towards them, the appearance hiddened by a fading fog. Her eyes widened in bewilderment when she recognized the person, while Dogan, who managed to get a view of the newcomer, squeaked with joy as he too recognized the individual.
