Even though she was under the protection of Achilles, who she still couldn’t believe saved her, she was powerless on her own. So in the middle of the night, even as her eyes kept closing in an attempt to force Sofia to sleep, she sat there creating a magic circle in her private room in the hot spring. She had to summon a servant before she would close her eyes, she just had to. So upon finishing the last of the circle, she stood up on two feet, wobbling slightly before finding her balance, and stretched out her hand once more. The ritual went as planned as she pronounced the ritual, but...in her completely devastated state, she had not thought to check her hand to see she had no command seals left, but within the smoke of the circle, somebody else had already noticed. [color=b2a3bb]“You have [i]some[/i] nerve, summoning me without owning command seals.”[/color] But the words fell on deaf ears, as Sofia tumbled to the ground with closed eyes, she had fallen unconscious, completely at the mercy of this newly summoned hero. Raikou, the legend known as Ushi-Gozen, stood there stupefied as her powerless master laid in front of her unconsciously. She could do whatever she wanted, being brought back to life in this new era of technology and intricacies, and yet the first thing she did was pick up Sofia, and put her in bed; all with an annoyed expression on her face. Nobody knew what went through her head, but upon pulling the blanket over Sofia, she turned around to face the exit, and left, nobody knew where, and nobody knew why, but Raikou...was gone. [/hider] A scared girl was running, she was running from something, from someone. the moon illuminated the night in a bright shade of red as this girl trembled and fell to the ground, a face full of terror looking behind her to face this man. He wielded a spear, and was faster than the fastest vehicle on earth. and the spear he held was aimed for her heart. With a single strike it pierced the soft and frail body of the girl, who screamed out in agony, yet nobody could hear her cries for help, or rather, they chose to look away; as they should, for this girl was not murdered, she was executed. Sofia shot up from her slumber, gasping for air while grabbing her chest as if it was no longer there. a nightmare… Slowly and carefully, she removed the blanket from her legs, placed her feet on the ground, and looked at the letter on a shelf next to her. It seemed like she was asked to help fight a servant, but that would have to wait...something was wrong. As Sofia looked at the washed out magic circle in the middle of the room, she noticed that...her servant wasn’t here. with a sudden rush of adrenaline, she rushed out of bed and into the hallway; why was her servant gone? did the summoning go wrong? the karmic link! it was still there, and as Sofia focused, she saw. Raikou was in town, strolling the streets with no care in the world...in the middle of the riot zone! Owh no, this was bad, there was no way Sofia could enter that zone on her own, it was too dangerous, but her servant wasn’t responding to her at all. she needed to find Benita and Achilles, ask them to go with her, so she can find Raikou. Sprinting through the halls, she searched and searched for any sign of Benita, until she entered the entrance to the hot spring and found her target, only to immediately jump back around the corner. There were two other people with Benita. one was obviously a servant, and the master was most likely the man in front of the servant. But wait, this master, was he the servant? checking him out with her pure eyes, Sofia was startled by what she saw; it looked like two servants stood in front of her, but one had to be the master, though looking at their appearance, the glasses wearing man was most likely the master, this was no ordinary master though, and she would be smart to be careful around him. So slowly but surely, Sofia walked towards the group, a cautious look on her face as she got closer and closer. [color=7FFFD4]“H-hello sir, do you mind if I borrow miss Benita for a second?”[/color] Sofia asked of Gin, giving a smile towards him and the boy behind them. [color=7FFFD4]“I know i’ve said it before but, I want you to know that I am really really [i]really[/i] sorry, for everything that happened yesterday.”[/color] She softly spoke. [color=7FFFD4]“All i wanted to do was help my sister...but it backfired so bad, I just, it was a disaster.”[/color] She looked at the ground as she said it, but immediately after, she looked Benita in the eyes and folded her hands in a pleading motion. [color=7FFFD4]“A-anyway, I wanted to ask...are we still allies? because I’d like us to be.”[/color] And with that, she backed off, finally having the tension and stress released, Sofia felt miles better than the day before, and her trademark innocent smile soon returned to her as she walked over to the other two in the room. [color=7FFFD4]“Sorry for that sir, I am Sofia Whitehall.”[/color] She said as she introduced herself and extended her hand, expecting the master to return the favor so that she could possibly get him to assist in finding Raikou as well.
