"As you wish.
What kind of mount do you want to be?"
"The Sunblood!"
"What's that?"
"A mythical beast in our homeland. It is said to be the fastest horse in all the lands. The beast that the heroic spirit Gaomaru rode to unite the twelve kingdoms!"
"You seem to like this Gaomaru a lot."
"All of the kids in Ori like him! He is the unyielding spirit of freedom.
As a child, I have always dreamt of being him.
But then. Life happened."
"Well then. Now that death has happened to you."
Blaze opens his palm, a yellow fire flares up.
"You shall be reborn under my power.
To become my beast and my ride.
As you are innocent, this deal between us is based on mutual agreement. You shall be by my side until you decide not to anymore."
Mitsuhiro turns back into his soul form, a floating yellow fireball with flashing images of his face.
He is pulled inside Blaze's palm, and in it, being sculpted into the beast of his desire.
