The creature, in the guise of Axel, closed his eyes and spread his arms, reveling in being able to live again as a human and more. The power of a 2nd phase seeker, especially someone as strong as Axel, and most of the memories he carried. Flowed through his mind and bone, having the warm human blood circulate in his veins, felt wondrous.
The creature laughed like a maniac. This time, it did not need to touch the original a second time to generate a consciousness, since it had already developed a permanent one. So, generating a copy of another being's consciousness would be like opening the door just to call in a poison snake.
Axel watched the imitator with a bit of apprehension, almost unnerved even when trying to stay calm. It couldn't be helped, really, if you think about it deeply.
