[Tribulation]: Tribulations are coming.

Time: 22 hours 43 minutes 49 seconds.

Priam opened his eyes. The room was still shrouded in mist as he began to get his bearings. His body - or rather, the pieces of it - must have been thrown to the back of the vault. That was where he had been resurrected.

A glance allowed Priam to pinpoint its original location. Where the meteor had struck was now a huge hole. His mist was slightly disturbed as it approached the crater. A draft... It must be the real vault.

Priam noted the information in his head while rubbing his nose mechanically. It tickled. The tiny white flakes floating in the air were undoubtedly the cause. They were the residues of the cores stored in the room that had shattered in the explosion. Nothing remained of the shelves and racks that had previously occupied the room. The cores had been shattered and the air was saturated with aether.

Whatever your attributes, the Tribulation coming will be a quadruple Tribulation.

A miracle occurred.

A Phoenix rose from the ashes.

The blast and the heat were absorbed by Priam. His body recreated itself, transforming destructive energy into creative forces. Already, his bones were reforming, stronger, and more resistant to the heat. His muscles reappeared, more supple and vibrant with potential. His skin came to clothe Priam in a coppery color as if it had imprisoned the fire. Priam opened his eyes and revealed to the world the reflection of the flame within. The flame that now burned within him.

In the depths of his irises, a deflagration danced, playing with the mist.

The first beat of his heart sounded like the roar of a monster. Neither Phoenix nor Human. Priam was a Survivor.

Congratulations! Improved title: [Infantile Phoenix - Silver].
