Aaron found himself floating in space. His whole body felt odd all
over, like it was larger than it should be. This weird sensation...
He could move! He had hands! But where was he? He saw the fire...
surprisingly, the flames didn't hurt as bad as he had thought. It
wasn't painless, but it was in his mind.
"You are free now..." said a female voice.
Standing before Aaron suddenly flooding the space with light was... a
woman so beautiful, Aaron could scarcely turn his eyes away. And yet
she dazzled him.
"Free..." he said, not used to having a voice once again.
She waved. "Your options are many... for your next lifetime. Is
there a place you'd like to go? A life you'd like to live?"
Aaron turned quiet and looked down.
"No..." he said, almost shakily. A startling realization came to him,
and it's only with effort he was able to speak it.
"I am a bra." he said. "Y-years... without moving. Thoughts slowed
down... I want to go back..."
The goddess -- and truly that's the only word to describe this entity
before Aaron -- gasped.
"I thought I rescued you!"
Aaron was quiet. After years of being motionless, brainless fabric,
he was facing choice and consequence -- something he had long since
abandoned.
"I see... a life of service is divine, in a way. Would you like to be
my own, then? Divine and immortal as I am, never again to tear or
burn."
Aaron's head jerked up, and he beamed. He shakily reached out a hand
to the goddess. She gently took his hand in hers and leaned forward
to kiss him on the cheek.
"I will take care of you for all time, then... and your offer to me
rewarded."
In a flash of light, Aaron found himself in his new transcended form
-- divine, angelic silk embracing the modesty of a goddess. He felt
joy beyond description flow through him, his purpose continued and
exponentially intensified.
"Your gesture has given me great power, my sweet 'girl'..." she said,
resting a hand gently on the fabric covering her chest. "I can now
cross into your world. You might not remember how you came to be this
way, but I think I will avenge your loss of humanity. Some changes
made to your world and the people in it could be in order as well..."
Aaron felt her soothing touch and words, but no longer had the
capacity to understand them. He was with his goddess, and so he would
be even as she crossed over to his world.
