Seraphic Rebirth is the name of the formal ritual and ceremony.
It was the gate; new Angels who had passed the Blood Rite needed to go through in order to shed their weakness and come out as Blooded Angels. Defenders of mankind who would be going against the Blue Void.
All of them had earned their right to live.
Now, it's time for them to serve.
Only death would free them from this eternal servitude.
As the star of the Blood Rite, Kai was the first one to be called to the raised altar.
Kai stood on a circular magic circle of divine symbols and faced the crowd.
"Close your eyes," Dean Lincoln instructed as he walked back, putting a safe distance between them. "Focus. Try to relax. Do not resist the blessing. Do not use your mana until the blessing settles. Accept it with gratitude, and be reborn."
He did exactly that.
Kai closed his eyes and tried to clear his mind of any distractions to focus on the moment.
Closing his eyes meant seeing darkness. And darkness is his friend.
