Chapter 3 - Chapter 2 - Rebirth in the UnKnown

Sai turned sharply and looked. A pair of luminous eyes had been watching him, their intensity stripping away all illusion, peeling back layers of his very being as if he were nothing more than a fleeting thought in the grand scheme of existence.

"Who?" Sai's voice faltered as an invisible weight crushed upon him. It wasn't pain, not exactly, but an overwhelming presence—something so vast that it made him feel insignificant.

The entity seemed to study him, its gaze neither cruel nor kind, simply... vast.

"You have many questions now," the voice murmured, almost amused. "Who are you? Why are you here? What force has thrown you into the abyss? And most importantly..." The presence loomed closer.

Sai gazed at the entity, momentarily captivated by her presence, but quickly regained his composure. The entity chuckled.

"You feel it, don't you?" the voice resonated once more, filling not just the void but the very essence of his soul. "The weight of destiny, the echoes of something far greater than yourself. Tell me, lost soul, do you seek to understand what you are?"

"I..." He hesitated, his mind confused. But something within him, in the form of words, called to him. He swallowed hard and forced himself to speak. "What... am I?"

The entity did not answer immediately. Instead, it reached out—not with a hand—and touched his glabella. The very fabric of the void trembled as unseen threads wove around Sai's soul, binding it in fate and knowledge he could not yet grasp.

"You were ******," the voice finally said, its tone almost contemplative. "A fragment cast into the Void, untouched by fate, unclaimed by the cycles of creation and dissolution. But now, you have been chosen."

Sai's brows furrowed, and he asked, "I don't understand."

The entity looked momentarily confused, then suddenly said, "Oh, you can't hear what I am saying?"

She thought deeply, glancing at Sai, who was looking at her with confusion.

Suddenly, a low, rumbling sound echoed through the void—a sound that might have been amusement, or perhaps something far deeper.

"Not by me," the entity replied. "By the force that guides all things, by the will that binds and unbinds creation. You, Sai, are an anomaly... and the answer you must find on your own."

She said the time was up, and before you start your journey...

The entity's form flickered between shadow and radiance, shifting like the flow of time itself. Then, with a grace beyond understanding, it extended its will toward him.

"What you seek can only come with strength and karma," the voice continued, its presence wrapping around Sai's mind like a celestial command. "A vessel to contain the truth buried within you. Only through it can you truly see and understand what lies hidden in the depths of your essence."

The words settled deep within Sai, stirring something within him. The storm of pure, unshaped existence that had raged around him moments ago suddenly felt distant, no longer an adversary but a force waiting to be grasped.

"My hope for you is to wield it wisely," the entity said, its voice now softer, though no less immense. "Let it guide you to the truth of what you are meant to become."

Unbeknownst to Sai, the touch of this being would grant him a transformation unlike any other. The essence that had once been a maelstrom of destruction now wove into the very fabric of his existence, strengthening him, reshaping him.

As the unseen force propelled him through the cosmic expanse, Sai's mind swirled with fragments of the encounter. He had spoken with something beyond the limits of his understanding, something that had chosen him, shaped him.

But for what purpose?

The answers would not come yet. Not now.

The destined planet loomed before him, its presence vast and unknowable. The guiding force wrapped around his soul, weaving through the cosmic threads of existence, allowing him to slip past the planet unnoticed.

He was an anomaly, and what he didn't know was that he was an entity reborn beyond the sight of those who ruled this world.

His soul descended into a secluded realm untouched by the turmoil of the outside world. As he came to a standstill, the energies around him stirred, recognizing him, drawing toward him.

The forces that had once been his trial now merged with the life force of the realm, initiating something far greater.

His soul was reshaped, molded into a vessel unlike any before. A body formed not from flesh alone, but from the very essence of the world, the cosmic will that had guided him, and the primordial force that had birthed him anew.

As the transformation reached its climax, Sai's new form stood in the heart of this realm, the energies settling into a perfect balance within him.

After Sai left the realm, the entity, or perhaps the very consciousness of the universe, lingered in thought. 

"A tyrant who forgot his past?" she mused, a knowing smile playing on her lips.

"How delightful... or is it?" Her voice echoed through the void, laced with amusement.

She lifted a hand—or something akin to one—and traced invisible patterns in the air. Threads of fate shimmered before her, intertwining and unraveling, shifting in chaotic harmony.

"Will he remember, I wonder?" she murmured, watching as Sai's path unfolded before her.

"A soul That has fallen a long time ago Will it rise again."

The void trembled as laughter—gentle yet unfathomable—resonated through its depths.

"Well then, let's see how long it takes before he realizes what he truly is."

Now then, let's see what that trickster is up to. I foiled his plans, but he didn't seem to realize who interfered with him

With that, the entity faded, her presence retreating into the unseen, Leaving behind only whispers that wove themselves into the fabric of fate.
