Chapter 1030: Chris' Life
-----
Chris could still clearly remember his death, as his memories rearranged themselves once his brin was fully healed, how everything happened, and how much he had despaired, and given up entirely.
"Frederica... I'm sorry..."
When he died, an endless darkness had greeted him, his consciousness, his memories, and his whole sense of self slowly started to be absorbed by this darkness.
The darkness of death, a coldness that not many could even overcome but the oldest of souls, who could remain conscious even as they passed away.
But eventually, within a few seconds after death, Chris would have lost everything that made him who he was, becoming a clean slate, a pure soul.
The soul was already on its way to the afterlife, a place that not even the inhabitants of Spiritias, nor even their Holy Spirits, fully understood, but that existed within the world, somewhere.
"It's so dark... everything... I... don't want... to forget..."
FLASH!
Yet in that very last moment, where his consciousness would have been almost completely wiped out, a bright light engulfed his soul completely.
"L-Light? Is that...?!"
His destroyed body was healed and rearranged together back to complete health, and his soul placed inside.
As the light engulfed him and the rainbow rivers of essence washed his soul and healed it, restoring his sense of self and his memories slowly.
Something else happened, his soul and his body was rejecting each other.
"Ugh...! W-What's going on?!"
He felt a slight amount of pain, the laws of the world themselves seemed to not want to permit it, they didn't want Chris to revive.
It was against the very laws of creation, to revive beings through such a method, it was inconceivable.
Undead existed, and even spirits, but they were nothing like actual revival, something beyond the laws of nature.
Yet the rainbow light encompassing Chris did not give up, feeding his soul with enough power to forcefully keep itself attached to his body.
"Hahhh... I need to catch a break."
As Chris sighed with a smile, his Spirits emerged from his Spirit Orb, they seemed fine, thankfully, spirits can often end up completely healthy compared to their masters, as long as the spirit orb is intact and sealed before the spirits lifeforce is attuned to the death of their master, which would kill them instantly as a result too.
"I'm so happy you're all fine..." he hugged them all, his fox, the salamander, the little dragon, everyone. Their warmth brought comfort to his weary heart.
Yet, deep down, Chris felt something wrong with him.
Something strange...
He wasn't a human anymore.
He knew it, there was something... wrong with him.
"W-What is this?"
And he realized it the moment he concentrated to meditate a bit, his senses imbuing themselves into his body, soul, and spirit orb.
And feeling a connection between all three, not just of energy, but physical.
It was as if all three of them were stuck together as one, almost as if someone used glue to do it, and this "glue" was a powerful divine power, which he now possessed.
And there was something else too.
Deep inside of his soul.
"T-This is...?!"
Chris eyes widened, the familiar appearance of something that Blake often used all the time, every time, and which he could also create almost indefinitely...
"A-A card...?"
There was a platinum-colored card floating inside of his Spirit Orb, connected to his existence, origin, and life.
"I-I see..." Chris continued crying. "To think you would do such a thing to bring me back, Blake..."
