"...in!"

"Uhhh...?" 

"Mi... llerin...!"

Slowly coming to, the blonde haired Cerulean Knight rubbed her eyes sluggishly. She didn't know what time it was. Last she remembered, she was reading a book at her desk on a war from centuries in the past, looked at the clock to see 4:30 AM, and could not remember a single thing afterwards. 

She looked down at her book to see drool all over it. The pages she had laid her head on were sopping, making those two pages in particular completely illegible.

"Gah! What?! I can't believe I did that! I ruined history! I RUINED PRECIOUS HISTO-"

"MISS KELLERIN!" a voice boomed behind her.

She fell over in a panic, still only half-awake, and onto the hard floor of The Ultimatum's grand library. She stared up at the ceiling in a daze, and for what felt like eternity, it was just her and her view of the ceiling.

"Wow... the world looks so much darker than I remember. Is this even real life...? And... and the sky. Why is the sky... made of wood...? Did... did reality change? And... I missed it?"

It wasn't much longer that an official-looking man walked into her awed gaze with a pitiable look on his face. He stared down at her, and she stared back up at him.

"Yeah? What is it, Tommy? Did you get a blister?"

The man sighed and replied in a tired voice, as if this was normalcy around here.

"My name isn't Tommy... Miss Kellerin, you had a meeting today, didn't you? You and the other Knights were to meet in the council chambers. You overslept. By about thirty minutes. They're probably already discussing matters without you."

Kellerin's trance-filled gaze became much more clear, and then she hopped to her feet gracefully. 

"Oh my god... they're going to be SO mad at me! Gah, and that Jester's probably gonna be there, too. He's such a meany-butt! Pfft..."

"Miss, I would advise against such an attitude toward him. He is your superior in the grand scheme of things, after all."

She crossed her arms and stormed past the soldier, heading for the exit.

"I don't care, Billy! He wears a mask, and he doesn't show his face, he conceals his identity, and he even hides his true appearance from others!"

"Those are all practically the same thing, Miss..."

"Johnny, stop bugging me or I won't give you a candy the next time you find something valuable!" she blurted out frustratingly, and then exited the library and turned around the corner once she got into the hall. The man let out a sigh of relief before turning to clean up the mess Kellerin had left behind on her desk.

She briefly poked her head into the room one final time while his back was turned.

"Oh! And thanks for waking me up, Onimaru!"

The man felt like blood vessels had popped all over. 

"Where did you even get that name from?! My name is..." 

But as he turned around, she was already gone. Presumably heading for the meeting she was late for.

"Bah... forget it..." he muttered, and returned to his duties.

Dashing through the hall and knocking anyone over who dared get in her way, Kellerin was running as if for her life. Given the pedestal she placed The Superior on, it had might as well be for her life. 

"Just gotta get there! Move it, everyone!"
