As Corona approached, raising her hammer, something barely noticeable pricked her. It was hard to tell exactly where it had come from, but blood had been shed. And just as soon as it had been shed, the droplet of blood vanished. Before there was much time to contemplate what had just happened, the front of the stone coffin creaked lightly. Ages-old dust fell from the stone face, now more clearly seen to be emblazoned with a grinning, horned face... It fell slightly with a clunk, and toppled to the side, the stone splitting as it hit the ground. Just what kind of abomination would have been within this coffin, so deeply in such a terrible place?!

Surprisingly, what fell from the coffin, hitting the cold, hard grown with a soft thump, was no monstrous horror.

Black hair adorned with a rose ornament, clad in a rather elaborate and frilly red and black dress.[/url] For a few moments, she simply lay there silently, curling tighter into a ball as she felt the cold, hard ground beneath her. But, eventually, her eyes slowly opened, large and deeply red. She blinked a few times, as if trying to banish the sleep from her eyes, before drawing herself into a sitting position.

"... Mn... wha...? I'm... awake..." the girl said blearily, rubbing her eyes with her hands.

Slowly, her eyes traveled up the form of the armored girl... and fell on the heavy metal head of her hammer.

"... Just what were you planning on doing?!" she cried, pointing at the weapon.
