The preparations are nearly complete. The chamber is now fully closed and the rebirth will soon begin. I've been preparing for several weeks beforehand and after several more in this pod I will emerge as a whole new being. At first I was little apprehensive, I mean who wouldn't be in a situation like this. Supposedly the process is painless but it seemed doubtful to me. Having to be broken down and put back together piece by piece sounded anything but painless. I could feel the liquid beginning to pour into the pod. It was too late to have second thoughts now, the process had begun!

They say after being reborn you can still remember you past life, where you grew up, who you knew, everything. It seemed implausible given the the change I was about to undergo but who knows, I guess time will tell.

What an odd sensation! I can feel my body being broken down into the base ingredients need to fuel my transformation. It is unlike anything you could possibly fathom. It is such a foreign sensation and yet it fells like this what my whole life has been leading to.

I've lost all sensation and I feel like a ghost. A consciousness floating in a swirling stew of chaos. I am unaware of anything but this chamber holding my soon to be new body. I can feel it slowing coming together and my excitement grows with each new limb that is created. It's almost time, my change is in it's final stages and I am ready to enter the world anew.

It is done! I'm anxious to be released and test out my new and improved body. The pod opens and harsh light assaults my newly formed eyes. I push through and take in the fresh air and spread my wings. That's right, I have wings now! Everything is better, I'm sleeker, more agile, more beautiful than ever before. I look around and see others who have gone through the same change as I have, my friends and siblings who were with me since we were all larvae together. I've aired out my wings long enough. I take flight and begin my new life as a butterfly.
