Sword Saint : Natsuki Subaru
Prologue.
Far away, in a very, very dark place… one could call it a tomb, another a prison…. And for her, the very shadow being that inhabits it, it's just a way to bide time… to wait for her beloved..
"~Huh~uh~uh~?" Echoes the Shadow's voice, both in chamber and in articulation… for once in four centuries, she could see it. Her labor, her plans, paying off. She could tell… she finally got him. Hoshin, Aldebaran and the countless others throughout the years… none of them held the same all commanding sense, of success. She did it. The perfect one… is here…
Subaru.
If you could see her, she would be smiling with joy, giddy of her long awaited success, and elated with the world… she'd break out of here if she could, and go right to him… embrace him, keep him with herself.. forever.
But, she cannot. She sends him a gift, instead… a part of herself, perhaps the full reincarnation of Pride, or perhaps something else altogether… and she senses it go to him.
But, suddenly… a sliver of light appeared within her own chamber. At the center of it, something so small… so bright… she could see herself.
But this… this put an insurmountable dread over her. Od Lugunica… is here.
"~N~OOO~OOOO~!" She flipped around to the light, and shot forward two thousand shadows… in an attempt to squash it, an attempt to destroy its presence, but it overwhelmed the things. So… she released all of what she had on it.
But, even the witch cannot overpower the very thing that gave her, and everything else, existence. She cannot kill what is God.
"Your actions cannot be left to happen." The orb roared, expanding in size as it filled the chamber with such an intense light that even melted the thick shadows around herself. She… was getting weaker.
"The soul you've plucked from the other world will be set free of your grasp." It said, now engulfing the entire chamber in light. All that was left… was herself. Bare skin and black dress, she could see herself once more.
"I'm sorry…" she said, though it was directed to herself. "How did I end up this way?" She questioned the light, yet got no response. "Was it… was it... her?" She asked, but… the light vanished, leaving her to herself…
"I don't want to go back to being… ~thhaaaaaaaa… ~ttt" shadows enveloped her once more, and the 'gift' she sent to her beloved… was gone.
But there was something new on him. A divine protection… one she sharply gasped upon noticing.
"I'm a… Sword Saint?"
