Orion's Life Fire erupted within his Sea of Consciousness, its brilliant golden-red flames surging violently, rapidly reshaping the very essence of his soul as three distinct lights came to fuse with it.
Within that boundless space, waves of purifying fire rolled forth, incinerating impurities and reforging his spirit into something utterly new.
Heat, like molten metal coursing through veins, enveloped him, roaring with relentless intensity, consuming every shred of weakness, burning brighter and fiercer by the moment.
Outside, Orion's battered form jerked uncontrollably as the evolution took hold. His skin rippled, veins igniting with incandescent streams of gold and crimson lightning that pulsated beneath his flesh.
Bone-deep tremors wracked his body, and a sharp, unbearable pain erupted from his skull as two gleaming red and purple horns tore through his forehead, spiraling outward.
