I own only story idea!

PS- There are MAJOR SPOILERS about the end

Chapter I

"...leo. Mi...leo. Mikleo..." The impatient Shepherd called, leaning over his sleeping best friend. The water seraph stirred, but didn't answer as we waved away the human.

"Go away Sorey...It's too early for this." Sorey knew he was right, it was somewhat early for the group, but this was something that couldn't wait.

"Mikleo," he cooed, coaxing the seraph out of his sleep. "Alright then. I guess I'll just go exploring ruins by myself." He turned his back to Mikleo and laughed before turning back, only to find a mass amount of water flying towards him. He screamed, not having time to react before the water splashed him in the face, followed by a laughing male. Sorey soon joined him as he wiped the water on his sleeve. When he opened his eyes, he was greeted by the lavender eyes of his childhood friend, his now lover, his hair messy from a night of sleep.

"If you think you can go ruin exploring without me...you'll have more than just water coming at you later," he scoffed as he climbed out of bed and grabbed his clothes, waiting for the Shepherd to leave the room.

"I'll be waiting outside. Just come out when you're ready." With that, they closed the door, another free day to explore ruins in the making.

"Alright. You ready Mikleo?" Sorey smiled as he turned to his invisible friend, who nodded in reply.

"Let's go." They both pushed open the heavy door to the ruins before they stepped in, hands clasped together, their footsteps echoing in the vacant hallway. They were both in awe, neither one of them able to speak the millions of thoughts rushing through their heads. Statues lined the floors while carvings and scriptures littered the walls and ceilings. "This place..." Mikleo started, his breath caught in his throat as we slowly walked forward.

"Is incredible!" Sorey finished as he walked alongside him, mesmerized by the ruins. "This place is different than any other ruin I've seen."

"I don't even think this is a ruin." Mikleo started, focus his attention on Sorey.

"What do you mean?"

"Come look over here." Mikleo gestured to a scripture on the nearest wall, written in another language. "Seraphim of Asgurd, we ask for your blessing. This town has been corrupted without you here to guide us. Please return to this land so that we may worship you once more."

"So this place is from the Era or Asgurd."

"And this place seems to be a shrine or church or something where the people worshipped seraphim." He then walked up to a shrine where a single clay dish stood. "And this must have been where they placed their offerings to the seraphim. Interesting. Not many places do that today."

"I guess people just sort of...What's the word-"

"Forgot," Mikleo replied nonchalantly as he looked at one of the carvings. "They forgot about us. Didn't think they needed us. And that's how hellions came to walk this place. And how the Age of Chaos started."

"But that's why I'm here. To make surr people don't forget about the seraphim."

"I know Sorey." Sorey felt the grip on his fingers groe tighter as he heard Mikleo sigh. "You wouldn't neglect that duty no matter what falls our way." As if on cue, a strong domain filled the ruins, making both the water seraph and Shepherd somewhat dizzy. Their interlocked fingers separated as they stepped apart.

"This domain..." Sorey started, gathering his senses before taking out his sword and looking around. "It's...so similar. What do you think Mik-" He turned, hoping to see his friend beside him, but was greeted by no one. "Mikleo? Mikleo!" he turned frantically, looking for his childhood seraph friend, but found nothing. This domain isn't that strong. It couldn't have blocked my reissuance. So where did-

"Sorey!" he heard Mikleo call from somewhere in the ruins before he ran towards the sound of his voice.

"Mikleo! Mikleo! Where'd you go?!" He didn't get a response this time, but he ran in the same direction. He finally reached a clearing, only to be greeted by a foe he was all too familiar with. "Mikleo!" Mikleo struggled against the claws of the wolf hellion, his claws clutching his throat and digging into the wall. Mikleo's legs kicked, hoping to find solid ground to support himself.

"S-Sorey!" he called again, only for the hellion to turn, dropping Mikleo in the process, who sprawled on the floor, gasping for breath.

"If it isn't the young Shepherd. I was only looking for a cool drink...but it seems I've found a nice appetizer as well." Lunnare licked his lips as he laughed, readying himself, blocking the path between Sorey and Mikleo. Mikleo stood, his leg wobbling beneath him as he readied his staff, waiting to attack the hellion.

"What do you want Lunnare? We've beaten you once and we can do it again!" Sorey asked as he lunged forward, a guaranteed hit, but somehow missed the wolf hellion, who was above him, ready to dive on him for another attack. Sorey quickly sidestepped and tried to run for Mikleo, but was greeted with a blast from an unknown source, sending both him and Mikleo back. Sorey landed on the ground with a groan, his back firmly hitting the wall, while he heard a gasp not far from him. "M-Mikleo..." Sorey tried to call for his seraph friend, but was too weak to do so. The dust settled, and a new figure had appeared, along with Mikleo. The girl was short with black and purple hair tied back by huge orange hair ties, and a black and purple vest over black shorts. She was leaned over someone, and that someone was Mikleo. She was sitting on top of him, limiting his movement, and one of her hands was pressed firmly against Mikleo's mouth, limiting his speech.

Seeing this, Sorey slowly stood, leaning on the wall for extra support. "Mikleo!" He grabbed his sword off the ground and brandished it towards the young girl. "Let him go!" The girl only laughed as she sat up straighter on Mikleo, her hand still pressed firmly against his mouth.

"I'm afraid I can't do that. Some of us need him for something." Sorey growled at this, seeing the undeniable look of fear on his friend's features, even though it was extremely uncommon. Whatever these people wanted with Mikleo, it wasn't anything good.

"Luzrov Ru-"

"I don't think so Shepard." Lunnare reacted with a swift kick to Sorey's chest, knocking the wind out of the poor Shepard. Mikleo tried to scream out for Sorey, but his cries were muffled due to the girl's hand. Mikleo then felt himself being lifted into the air, and before he knew it, his vision turned purple. He gasped before looking around, only to find himself trapped in a malevonce bubble, and he felt himself getting weaker.

"Sorey! Sorey, can you hear me?" His hands were pressed firmly against the bubble, but it wouldn't budge. Sorey stirred and looked up, only to see Mikleo in the state he was in, and Mikleo's face showed an emtion way past fear. His lavendar eyes were wide with terror and his breathing was rapid.

"Luzrov Rulay!" he cried, hoping to get Mikleo out of his bindings, but to no avail. "I said Luzrov Rulay!" It still did nothing as both Mikleo and Sorey looked at Lunnare and the girl, waiting for an answer.

"Looks like your powers been blocked off by the malevonce bubble. Not even you can save your precious now. And it look's like your he's at his end too," the girl replied as Sorey's eyes went to Mikleo, just as he slumped and fell unconscious.

"Mikleo! C'mon...You can hear me right? Mikleo!" The young Shepard was completely distraught as the bubble detaining his friend popped, and the water seraph landed in the arms of Lunnare. He groaned uncomfortably, trying to wake up.

"S-Sorey..." he whispered softly as Sorey took one step forward. "Please...help." With that, Lunnare, the girl, and Sorey's one and only were gone, leaving the Shepard in the now empty ruin hallway.

"What just..." He started before looking around. "Mikleo! Please no. He's not gone! He can't be." He felt his eyes getting heavy as he began to sway. "Mik...leo." He then fainted, lesving his mind to be tormented by losing his best friend.
