The Amphisbaena
“Faintly aware, her ears heard the ceaseless reverberations of spell chants that sounded like solemn music. Beautiful light merged with a flood of sound. The light was being emitted by the complex magical symbols imprinted upon her flesh; the sound of singing came from her very own throat.
Her hideous, mismatched wings remained spread as Kanon Kanase dreamed within the light.
She knew that she was changing into something else, something not human.
She understood, without anyone having to tell he...r, that by the time the change was fully realized, the being known as Kanon Kanase would vanish from the world.
She did not feel frightened or sad about that. It was simply the way it was. She could do naught but obey the mechanisms of the world determined by God himself.
The remnants of her consciousness contained a faint reassurance.
The small lives she had saved; the memories of their warmth upon her cheek.
Perhaps she was obstinate and tenacious to that degree toward the kittens abandoned by their heartless owners because she saw herself, unaware of her own parents, in their tiny forms.MoreLess
