"Isse."
The deep, menacing voice of a stranger echoed within. Everything around Isse was pitch black at the moment, then all of a sudden, out came the vision of the cosmos, with the Sun right in front of him. He was simply standing in empty space, near a giant, extremely energetic and intensely hot ball of nuclear fusion. He was all confused on where he is, then all of a sudden, the silhouette of a crow appeared on the sun.
"Huh? Where am i?"
"Isse. Step into the conflict."
"What conflict?"
The vision of the present situation then appeared from the Sun: Two demonic figures fighting each other, in what used to be a joyous situation. Even he saw himself there; he was just sitting on one of the chairs, his eyes wide open. But why was he here, still? Meanwhile, Isse then floated in zero gravity after standing in space.
"That? No, no. I am not involved with those people."
"You can resolve it. The party will be back to what it was supposed to be after."
"But-"
"Now. Do it now. All's simple: walk in the midst of the chaos there, don't say anything, and if they try to harm you, harm them. You don't have to transform. Just be the center of attention, that's all."
"Hmm... Who are you?"
"That shall be answered in the future."
Isse then faded away from existence.
"Hm, hm, hm." The lightly-spoken, yet dark laugh of the true spirit of the Yatagarasu followed afterwards.
Isse
"....huh?"
Isse awoke from his vision. He remembered what the stranger told him, then walked right into the scene, extending his arms in a boastful manner, proudly presenting himself to the crowd. With his menacing smile and his eyes covered by his hair, this overall gave him a creepy, insane impression. Without second thought, he laughed, as wicked as his smile, and that was even if he had no idea why he had to do this. He didn't hate to do it, but he didn't like it either.
Anedine
"Ahh, thank goodness, you're awake!"
Anedine stared at Ryuu for a moment, then placed her hands on his torso as if she was healing him. "This will take just thirty seconds, Ryuu." She winked and tilted her head at him. She noticed she was beginning to show concern for him, which was fine by her. She, however, couldn't wait to see his friends-- or acquaintances for that matter, soon. After twenty-eight seconds, she grabbed his hands and lifted Ryuu up, and gave a nod to him.
"Now, now, Ryuu, let's head towards safety."
