25 Days – Prologue (Light)
"Light!" Cosmos called for her warrior—well, ex-warrior, at least. After the thirteenth cycle, Cosmos and Chaos had decided to settle their differences, opening up a passageway between the worlds, allowing many of their previous fighters to interact. As the aforementioned warrior stepped into the goddess' room, he bowed respectfully.
"Yes, Cosmos?"
"Do you know what today is?" He pondered for a second.
"November 30th." He stated.
"And do you know what happens tomorrow, in December?" Again, the man hesitated.
"Your…birthday?"
"Yes, and…" As he didn't answer, she filled in. "It's also going to be Christmas in a little while."
"Oh. Yes." Light brushed the hair out of his eyes. "Christmas."
"Now, Light, since this is everyone's first Christmas together, I expect this to be a good affair, and as you are the most mature…" He swelled with pride. "I'm appointing you to make this a wonderful Christmas season!" She beamed. He did as well.
He nodded curtly, and she rewarded him with another immaculate smile. As he stepped out the doorway, she called, "Don't forget to get presents for Chaos' side, too! They're very fond of gifts!" Again, Light waved, looking proud. But when he turned the corner, he put his hand to his head, the only thought in his mind being, How exactly do you make a good Christmas season?
