How long have I been here? Eons? Eternity? Or just a few seconds?

What am I doing here? 

{R-Rimuru....}

That's right. I am talking to someone. But who is it? Why can't I remember?

{Rimuru.... why.... stay....}

I see it wants me to stay...

I will stay... I want to stay... 

But why...

Why is it so...

Its...

It's dark. Very dark. Darker than darkness. 

The eerie, overwhelming darkness seemingly stretched on endlessly.

This place... 

Why is it always... 

So...

Dark...

Dark...

Dark...

<Master that's enough. We are going back> 

Suddenly, a voice came which tore through my trance.

Huh?

Where am I? Ah yes. I remember. We are...

I want to stay... A little bit more... 

<You will get corrupted if we stay here any longer. I am forcing you out of here>

Flash

I was back in my bedroom in a flash, just like always.

Huh? Did we come back already Ciel? 

I said, coming back to my senses.

<Yes master. You had reached your limit so I forced you out of there>

I see. Thank you, Ciel.

<Hmph. You should be careful, otherwise, it will be very bad. If you get corrupted you would go back to...>

Go back where? 

<Forget it. It's not something you want to remember. And you really need to rest or you won't be able to meet with them tomorrow> said Ciel in a concerned tone, changing the topic.

Ah Right. They all are coming back tomorrow. I need to be in the best of my condition to greet them. It's been so long after all since I last saw them.

<That's right master. I am sure they are even more excited to meet you>

Right, right. Now let us sleep then.

With that, I turned off the enchanted crystals in my room and the darkness enveloped me once again.

Dark... Dark... Just what am I missing here? What do I not remember? Is there really something I don't remember? Fine. I will go back and talk to 'him' again after the festival.

With that lingering thought in my mind, I closed my eyes and went to sleep.

The atmosphere is dark, dark is the aura that lingers,
The stars shine all around, an endless array of hues.
The majestic creature ahead, perhaps a singer,
For its presence itself sings of might in vibrant blues.

"Get ready guys. Today is the day we settle this score" Testarossa said with determined look in the eyes.

"No need to tell me twice, Tes. I am already fully prepared to give it my all" said Ultima, brimming with confidence.
