Agni Blackheart and Celica

One blink was enough for the plant girl to vanish. Did she get carried by the wind? That wouldn't be possible, the windows aren't open. "Wait, what? Where's the plant girl that was right there?!" Cerberus asked. "It could possibly be some illusion, playing a trick on us. You do know how the Nightmares sometimes like to play tricks on us like these." Agni spoke a possibility. As Cerberus was about to respond, three knocks were heard on the door. "Um, excuse me. May I come in?" A gentle voice spoke from the outside. "*sniff* *sniff*... I smell something bad coming from the door." Cerberus spoke. "The door isn't locked yet, so you can come in." Agni spoke.

As one illusion went out, something real came in. They had thought this room wouldn't have a girl, yet wrong they were. A pink haired one appeared, though she was just as strange as the plant girl illusion that was here a moment ago. She was not a literal tree, but she had cat ears and a tail. There were hearts inside of her deep green eyes. Other than that, she looked like your average day girl. But this was wrong too. "Oh goodness, I had no idea the other residents were all... well, male students." She spoke in a calm tone and refined demeanor. "If that plant... illusion isn't the fourth member of this room, then she is." Agni affirmed. "*growl* She's a cat...!" Cerberus looked at her angrily. Of course, even if he was a Nightmare, he was still a dog. Instincts like this are bound to happen. However, before he could ever leap at her, Agni gave him another bonk in the head with his book. "Oww!! Masteeeeeer!!" He cried a little. "Quiet, please. Anyway, I'm guessing that you are the true last resident of this room, right?"

"Y-Yes, I am. My name is Celica Crystallia Estelise. It is my pleasure to meowth you-" She bowed and introduced herself, when a different word came out from her mouth. How could the word meet turn into meowth? Celica herself sounded frustrated. "Dear me, I still cannot even control the way I speak. My apologies." She bowed once again. This girl, while looking completely normal, was definitely someone above their level in society. From her tone and way to talk, she's most likely to be a noble. I'm not going to ask, anyway. Agni thought by himself. "This might sound rude of me and I apologize if this is the case, but could you tell me your names, please? I do wish to know you three since we will live together during the school semesters." Celica asked politely. "My name is Agni Blackheart. This here is my servant, Cerberus." Agni spoke.

Lilina: I... I can't answer it yet...I don't know what I wish...

Auror: So we can take that Ted, Lilina and Kaori are the ones who doesn't have an answer yet. Lady Azura, what will happen to them?

Azura: Their choice must be taken on the right time. Their Brands will keep resting, awaiting for the moment a stance is taken.

Auror: I see... so nothing will change until they say "yes" or "no", eh...

Azura walks away from them, standing at a distance. However, she looked at them with a smile.


Azura: I am delighted to have finally met you. I shall send you back to your space and time.

Marina: Wait, is there any chance for us to meet you out of own accord? Should we call upon your name or...

Azura: I will be always singing. Whether you wish to come and speak once again with me, ignore everything, hear my song, my words and sing in unison with me.

Xaizor: Singing? Uh, I'm not good at that...

Azura: Even the most cacophonus cadre can become a beautiful melody if the ears and mind allow it.

Azura: Now, I bid you all farewell.

Azura returned to dance and sing, as if they were not there at all. Water began to flow under their feet, as the ground vanished amidst the flows of the sparkling lake.


Xaizor: Wait a moment- Hey!! *sinks into the water*

Marina: Xaizor?! M-My feet... aaah!! *sinks into the water*

Auror: What the hell?! Whoa!! *sinks into the water*

Lucent: W-Wait! I-Is this...?! *sinks into the water*

Lilina: Huh?! W-Where is the ground?! Ah!! *sinks into the water*

Xaizor: Alright! This means our expedition officially begins now!

Lilina: Expedition...?

Azura: Prince Xaizor and Princess Marina of the distant Kingdom of Lacrima, lying in another world. It also saddens me that fate has placed this burden upon you...

Lilina: Another world?!

Xaizor: Stop with the moping, Azura! If destiny chose me or what not, I don't care! I swear upon my sword that I shall bring peace to this world!

Auror: ...

Marina: I have already promised to Miss Rayla and to the rest that I will face my fears and that I shall aid them. I... I shall not back down!

Azura: Your answer has been heard. Now...

Xaizor: Urgh...!!

Marina: Aaaah!! It... burns...!!

Lucent: Xaizor! Marina!

Suddenly, a dark red flame and a light green flame appeared on Xaizor's forehead and Marina's neck, respectively. As they have accepted their fate, like Rayla and Tiane did, they received marks on their bodies. A dragon's head appeared on his forehead and pegasi wings appeared on Marina's neck.


Lilina: A-A dragon... and wings...

Azura: Xaizor and Marina... as you have accepted the call, your Brand is bestowed upon you. It is not just a symbol that defines you as the chosen, but it is also the mark that will awaken once you have truly accepted your own fate.

Auror: Our own fate?

Azura: Hidden in your hearts lies uncertainty, doubts, desires... you are not bound solely to stop the Disaster from happening, but your own story is there to be written. Once the Brand fully awakens, you will have reached a new height.

Lilina: T-This is too much... is this a dream...?

Lucent: It... it isn't...

Lilina: Lucent...?

Lucent: I want to do something... I want to change my fate... if this is my chance to redeem myself for my sins without needing to...

Azura: This path will be difficult. Do you wish to truly want to walk this path, filled with thorns? Has your darkness being no longer able to comfort you?

Lucent: I know pain well enough... but I don't... I want to move forward... I want to live like and with everyone!

Azura: ... May the future bring you hope at last.

The same sharp pain they felt ran through his body as well. A black flame appeared on Lucent's right hand. On it lies his Brand: an eye, shattered.


Lilina: ...

Auror: So, those are our paths and we can still walk on our own, eh?

Azura: ... Do you still wish to thread your fate as it is, Auror?

Auror: If I'm chosen, that's not for me to decide, anyways. But if I can still control my own story, it's perfect. And if I can find my own happy ending on the end of it...

Auror: ... Alright, I changed my mind. I'm in to stop some randomic destruction crossing our way.

He managed to hide the pain he felt. A blue flame triggered on Auror's left arm. While it wasn't seen because of his clothes, therein lies his Brand: a knife, with blood dripping from its tip.


Azura: As for the rest, I shall ask once more. What is the answer you grasp for now? Will you accept your Brand and thread the webs of fate?
Location: ???


Azura: I do not know. All that comes to my visions is that you ten were the ones chosen to stop the Disaster.

Lucent: I... I don't know...

Auror: I don't want to be mean, but you should have picked people more suited for this.

Azura: ...

Auror: I, for one, want to help this town, that's for sure. But doing the impossible knowing I could certainly die?

Lilina: There's no way someone like me could actually do something for Unitia in the way you wish. I don't have the power you need.

Lucent: This came from the Lady of the Lake, but I... I can't do it.
Location: ???


Auror: Ain't this a weird group you'd definitely find in a circus.

Lucent: ...

Lilina: Look! Over there in the fog!

In the direction Lilina pointed, there was the shadow, dancing alone. Her voice was clearer and now the lyrics could be heard.

You are an ocean of waves...



Lucent: What a... beautiful voice...

Auror: I guess the detective was right about it. It's truly mesmerizing...

Marina: Oh... it's stopping...?

BGM: The Water Maiden -Reprise- (Fire Emblem Warriors)

As the shadow finally stopped on a pose, water began to flow in the air, dissipating the fog and revealing the majestic lake. She stood still in the water, as if it was normal ground to her. They looked at her, while she stood in silence.


???: ...

Auror: So am I to guess that you're that shadow, lady?

???: You are correct. I welcome you ten... Rayla, Xaizor, Tatianna, Marina, Hiagor, Auror, Ted, Lilina, Kaori and Lucent.

Lilina: S-She knows our names?!

Lucent: ... It would be weird if she didn't knew it.

Lilina: W-What?! Lucent, what are you...

Lucent: Miss... are you possibly... the Lady of the Lake?

Auror: Whoa, whoa, hold your horses! The Lady of the Lake? Her?

Marina: Forgive me, but who is the Lady of the Lake you speak of, Lucent?

Lucent: A myth that surrounds our world. The Lady of the Lake is a supposed seer who watches over all of Unitia. She has a special power, which she is able to create miracles through her song. However, as she holds the position of a seer, nothing she can do to interfere in the lives of the people.

Xaizor: But isn't that just a myth?

???: What Lucent said is correct. I am the seer who watches the destiny of Unitia and leads the chosen ones to a path where tragedy is avoided. The Lady of the Lake... Azura.


Lady of the Lake
Azura



Azura: You ten are the ones chosen by destiny. It hurts me as well, but it falls upon you to save Unitia from ruin, like the generations behind you.

Marina: To... us ten?

Auror: Chosen? And wait... what are we supposed to do?

Azura: ... The Disaster will befall our world once again.

Auror: !!!

The moment she mentioned it, an undeniable shiver ran through Lilina, Auror and Lucent.


Lilina: The... Disaster... from 25 years ago... will happen again?!

Xaizor: Hold on, what's this Disaster? What happened back then?! Why are you all making those faces?!

Azura: It is the apocalypse. The day all of Unitia has to be erased, only to be rewritten again. An event that happens over centuries with its reason being unknown.

Lucent: B-But a century has not...!

Azura: Yes, indeed. A cycle has not finished for a disaster to occur. However, it will occur.

Azura: The signs of abnormality in the flow has already been shown with the mysterious attack you have suffered, Rayla. Those monsters who attacked you belong to the previous cycle.

Marina: So the incident that happened with Miss Rayla in the past...

Azura: Yes... leftovers of Unitia's once ruinous stance...
Seeing how they talked about their own spirit made Eltrino a little happier. "I see... well then, I guess I should apologize myself and actually explain where I intended to go with all this." He said, while looking away. "The last thing I want is for my classmates and eventual friends to give up. Hearing you deny my help with that reason makes me a little hopeful. We all came here to fulfill the same dream, I guess." Eltrino explained, while looking at his quirk. Memories of the last generation came by, as the wielder of Aetherlight before him given up on the dream of becoming a hero and ended up succumbing to despair, becoming a villain. Not only the responsibility of the Atlas family name fell upon him, but he has the dream of becoming a hero like All Might or Izuku like all of the others. I need to settle things right... for the sake of my family and of my own dream... I will pursue this past and eliminate it... erase it and everything will be fine. Eltrino thought about it.
Location: ???

It was really dense and the more they ran, the less they saw anything else except the mist. It was almost like as if they were running in the same place. After a while, Marina and Xaizor stopped running.


Marina: This is no good... the fog is too dense, I am unable to see our way...

Xaizor: I lost track of the way when she disappeared... we might be lost.

Marina: L-Lost?! N-No, that cannot be!!

Xaizor: ... Someone's coming!

Both looked at the direction of the steps. When they saw it, a large group of silhouettes were coming. Once the fog let them be clear, it was a large group composed of Rayla, Tiane, Ted, Kaori, Auror and Lucent.


Auror: Xaizor?! Marina?!

Marina: Mister Auror?! And everyone else is here too!

Lucent: Did you... also saw the shadow again?

Xaizor: We did. We followed it, but seems like we're totally lost...

Marina: The world has gone into stillness. I am unable to understand why...

Auror: It's not just the world stopping. People had vanished too.

Xaizor: Vanished?!

Lucent: We were with Kaito and Andorina, but... they disappeared out of a sudden...

Auror: Not just that, but Kaori's house was filled with police officers and they vanished too.

Lucent: Once we saw the figure... we gave chase...

Xaizor: I don't comprehend this. What the hell is going on? And who is the person who's behind this?

Marina: I wish we could discover whether this woman is our ally or our foe...

Then, more steps could be heard. When they looked at it, another silhouette appeared. When the fog made it clear, it was Lilina. She, like them, was surprised to see them.


Lilina: You all!

Auror: Wait, you heard it too?!

Lilina: The song? Yes, I did it too. Then I saw a shadow of a woman and followed her until... well, here am I.

Auror: Huh... who would've thought...

Lucent: I wonder if this fog will vanish soon...

Marina: I do wonder as well... and I have a strange feeling. It is as if were are not in Unitia anymore...

Auror: World travelling, like you two did?

Marina: It feels familiar... though I cannot comprehend it well...

Xaizor: Anyway, do you guys have any idea of who this could be...

Auror: We pretty much can assure that, whoever this is, is nothing short of powerful. To send the world in stillness and make the people vanish like that isn't something less than grand.

Lilina: I don't know why, but this feels like a miracle actually.

Lucent: (A miracle... through a song... then, my guess was correct...)
Location: Spring Zone - Kaori's House


Auror: Oof, sorry to hear that. Never wanted to be a gossip on school, but what can I do?

Kaito: Why don't you just tell them to stop?

Auror: Eh, it'll still go on, even if I say anything.

They walked forward accompanying the rest. Lucent, who returned to read. However, when he looked at his front again, something strange happened.


Lucent: Huh? Kaito?

Auror: Hmm? What is it, Lucent?
Lucent: W-Wasn't he just... here right now?

Auror: Eh, but he's right-

When Auror finally paid attention, Kaito wasn't there anymore. And not just him...


Auror: OK, he isn't. Where the hell did he went to?

Lucent: A-Andorina's not here either...

Auror: What is this... why did the two of them vanished?

He immediately ran outside to see if something else happened and it did. More people vanished and the rain had stopped.


Auror: Even the cops aren't around! Only the cars...

Lucent: Look! The rain is...

What Lucent pointed out is that the rain was supposed to fall, but the raindrops were frozen in time. These chain of mysteries rose worries on their mind.


Auror: What is going on...?

Lucent: ...!! T-The song...!!

Auror: Again?! Darn it, what the hell?!

Location: Spring Zone - Alegretto Residence

After a good walk, Lilina and the others finally reached her home.


Lilina: How good it is to finally be at home.

Masaru: True. It's really cold outside.

Lilina: Maybe we can light the fireplace today.

Masaru: That sounds like a good idea. I'll pick the marshmallows as well.

Lilina: Well, I'm heading for the bath first.

Lilina went to her room to get her clothes and towel. Once she did, she left her room, only to find no one at the kitchen.


Lilina: Masaru? Sir Kail? Officers?

She went to see if they were somewhere else inside the house, but there was no one. They simply vanished.


Lilina: (This bodes ill... why are they gone like this? I didn't hear the door open again, so they couldn't have just left... and I searched everywhere...)

Another thing she noticed is that the sounds of the rain were no more. Instead, the song from earlier reflected on her ears.


Lilina: That song again... but from where does it come?

Location: Spring Zone Streets

Xaizor and Marina parted ways with Sayaka and the rest, going towards the shrine. However, it all got quiet...


Marina: The rain... has it quelled?

Xaizor: I don't know. Let's check it out and-

As they looked up, the clouds were still there, but the raindrops were locked in stillness.


Xaizor: What the hell is this?!

Marina: The raindrops... Xaizor, they are frozen in time!

Xaizor: Yeah, I can see that! But... why?!

Marina: Ah!! Xaizor, listen!

The mysterious song from lunch has began to play in their minds again. As soothing as it sounded, they were actually worried about the circumstances.


Xaizor: It's that song from earlier!

Marina: I am not liking this... maybe we should hurry up and go back!

Xaizor: Fine then, let's go!

Xaizor ran, with Marina following him. However, the path seemed to never end. Additionally, fog began to appear, blurring their vision.


Marina: Ugh... this fog is absurd! Where did it came from?

Xaizor: I don't know but this is the way so we need to keep it up!

"Prince Xaizor Arcadia and Princess Marina Arcadia... the time has come..."



Marina: H-Huh?! What is that voice?!

Xaizor: I don't know! But what I do know is... that thing returned!

The shadow of the woman returned. It "stared" right at them before turning back and walking away, vanishing in the mist.


Xaizor: Like hell you're getting away from me this time, you goddamn freakish shadow!!

Marina: P-Please wait! Xaizor!

Both followed the shadow, disappearing in the mist as well.

He noticed that Lea was actually a little nervous so he decided to stay quiet. Agni also noticed that Samson seemed a little bothered by the way he spoke. Even if he wanted to change, there was nothing to be actually done right now. By the time he noticed, another person came in. He seemed a little confused as he seemed a little confused. "I think this is his room as well." Agni spoke.

"Master, I've finished your unpacking." Another voice spoke. When Agni turned to look at his side, a sort of demonic creature appeared right next to him. It was Cerberus, his very own familiar from the World of Nightmares. "All of your clothing are folded and safely put in the second right drawer under your bed. Your books are being preserved in the first right drawer. The left drawers aren't being used right now, but we can put your bag there, if you'd like." He spoke, beaming a proud smile and expecting praise. But what he received from his master was a bonk on the head with a book Agni was carrying.

"O-Oww!! Master, why did you do that?!" Cerberus complained. "I didn't order you to come. That doesn't mean I don't appreciate your help with my things, but there's an issue you forgot." Agni said. "W-What issue? I don't see any problem in myself helping you like this." He spoke. Agni turned his face back at the others with Cerberus following along and soon realizing he hadn't given any previous warning about his arrival. "Oh... I, uh, forgot there were other people here... hehe, my bad...?" He said, trying to apologize. "... We'll discuss this at a later time. Present yourself to them." Agni spoke. "*gulp* Y-Yes, Master..."

Cerberus got up and stood proud. "My name's Cerberus. I'm Master Agni Blackheart's very own familiar." He spoke. "I'll make sure Cerberus will be useful and not a bother, as well as myself since I'm even worse than him, I guess." Agni said. "W-What?! Master, don't speak of yourself like that! Y-You're emotionless, true, but you're not a bad guy!" Cerberus tried to cheer him up. "Says you. The rest of the school will soon beg to differ, you know." Agni said, while sitting on his bed.
