She had already woken up and was looking at the big screen in the middle of the room with contempt.
There was nothing there other than herself, that screen and the white walls around her all while a maddening silence filled the room.
She had long silver white hair,clothes were white with touches of purple, purple eyes and looked around 15 or 16 thanks to her height but the thing that made her stand out were her ears, pointed ears akin of the ones that possessed the elves in fantasy stories. Her name was Emilia, an elf from the Kingdom of Lugunica and somehow she had been transported to that white room.
'Not again.' She was thinking looking at the screen, her face almost contorting with rage. 'I'll have to watch everything again.'
She walked towards it extending her hand and touching it with her left hand while her right one was trembling forming a fist.
'It's the first time I touch this thing now that I think about it, it feels like almost glass...maybe...if i'll do it no one has to see all of this again.'
"Aw man, a white space seriously? Would it kill them to choose a better space with more decoration maybe."
Suddenly all the thoughts of the elf girl came to a halt when she heard the voice echoing around the room. She immediately turned around but saw no one.
'This one sounds different.' She thought taking some steps back from the screen. 'A lot different...what's with that accent?'
"Ok let's see here, going to need some couches, maybe chairs, a sleeping bag...or a lot of them i'm not going to watch all the thing in one go let's be honest here...snacks lots and lots of snacks, two bathrooms and buckets...goddammit now i know why is a white room all of the sudden."
All while the elf girl continued listening to the list the voice was doing.
'So he plans to drag everyone to this again too, also a sleeping bag? Of course he would dare to bring him too...they always do."
"Ok so I need to arrange everything, put the chairs, prepare the snacks, take care of the Emilia that is somehow here for some reason, clean the buckets, wait…"
At this Emilia's heart almost stopped, something was telling the voice that she was here before time even though the voice also didn't know that in the first place, so that meant someone else was watching her movement maybe?
"The Emilia that somehow got in here? Wait, that doesn't mean...oh , shi..what the hell is she even doing here in the first place?!"
The voice screamed to no one in particular.
"What the hell?! Seriously, I think this is the first time something like this happens, and me from all people?!"
…
"Oh right have to still deal with you."
He said suddenly now talking to the elf girl.
'So he didn't plan to have me this early, ok this is my chance.'
"Um...sorry I don't know what happened. I just appeared here all of the sudden."
"Oh really?"
"Yes...really."
"This is starting to sound more like a bad joke with every minute that pases...ok Emilia, gonna start calling you Emilia so i can drop the elf girl thing alright? ok? Emilia...I know you must be confused? But trust me everything that you heard from my ramblings have an explanation alright just stay quiet, graba chair and I don't know stare at the screen or something...oh right a screen it's that thing that looks like a mirror so in there…"
"I know what a screen is."
"Great! Perfect! So just look at it before I put something for a video and...wait...you what?"
'Crap there goes the cover.'
"You said you know what a screen is."
"Yes I do."
"I...I-Are you pulling this prank on me or something?"
"Of course no!"
"Then how?"
"I know, i know about all of this."
"What?"
"I know what you plan to do, you want me, us, every single one of us, to watch."
"Who told you...?"
"Watch while he sleeps or maybe watch while he's awake, or maybe want his parents to watch, or just the knights, his friends or his contracted spirit or just the candidates or watch by himself because it's something that always you do!"
She said accusing it.
"Now just calm down a lit…"
"It's always the same! Watch Watch Watch Watch WATCH!, No matters the time, no matters the place either in a movie or pictures, his memories or those damned books we always see it!"
Now the tears were forming in the corner of her eyes
"Listen I know is compli…"
"And for what?! All we do is see Him suffer! Nothing changes, no matter what we say or do, it's always the damn same things! We treat him horrible, like a deviant or outcast at best even with all the things that he has done not only for us but for these Dragon forsaken kingdoms and at worst we...we.." Now the sobbings were getting louder while the tears were running.
"And he just continues, on and on and on and on, over and over again, why? No matter what wrong we do to Him he just follows us even with that curse over himself that can clearly give him the chance to abandon all his suffering He just keeps going.
I don't even know by now if that's good or bad. He's solving all these problems carrying the weight of the world on His shoulders saying he's alright when it's clear as day that it isn't! He says he's fine and acts with a smile and joy even though inside of him all these self depreciation, anger, wrath and more is burning inside of him...because I know it...I have seen it...time and time again...we all do.
…
She was almost talking like a whisper
"We have seen him die. We have seen him being killed, mauled, cursed, broken, Eaten! Gutted! Crushed! Frozen! KILLED! MURDERED! AND KILLED AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAINAGAINAGAINAGAIAGAINAGAINAGAINAGAINAGAINAGAINAGAIN!"
She let out a blood curdling scream falling on the floor.
"ALL THANKS TO A JEALOUS HAG THAT CONSIDERS HIM HER PROPERTY AND THE BUNCH OF USELESS INCOMPETENTS HE DECIDED TO PROTECT ON THE FIRST PLACE!
THANKS TO THAT WE HAVE TO WATCH HIM DIE OVER AGAIN AND AGAIN FOR THE REST OF OUR MISERABLE EXISTENCES?!
"I...I know it is difficult so…"
"But no more."
"Eh?"
"No more of this"
Emilia stood up, with the tears still falling but with a determined look on her face, without warning she started running towards the screen, lifted her right fist and smashed the screen punching a hole through it sending the glass shards all over the floor.
"QUE CHINGADOSI meanI meanWHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!"
Emilia retired her fist from the screen, it was badly bleeding with some shards of it still on her fist and knuckles and the blood now falling on the floor but she didn't care for it.
"No more of this!" She said now looking up to the ceiling.
"That was a new screen you bloody elf!"
"I'm sick and tired of all of this, all these "theaters" and "readings" and so on, I'm tired of watching with my arms crossed as the most wonderful man I have ever met suffers thanks to me! Tired of being basically a dead weight for him with no chance to help Him back!
So do it! Bring me back to the beginning, I'm tired of crying and feeling miserable while he deals with Dragon knows how many problems since the start. Do it!"
"So the little elf wants to go back so bad eh? Oh sure sure sure, I will."
Emilia didn't like the tone of that but still continued.
"No tricks or anything like that you hear me just bring me back when everything started."
"Oh sure but you'll need to forgive me because I will only use one trick, but maybe you will like it." '
"What you mea-?"
"So for now, I guess this is the goodbye so have good luck in your new mission miss Emilia."
After it had said that there was a white flash that almost blinded her and had disappeared.
"Yes you will really really like it."
Suddenly Emilia was back, she was in the middle of the market street, the sun brightly shining.
'Could it be?'
Then she saw her, a small blonde girl running as fast as she could trying to lose herself in between the large crowd of people and demi humans.
'Yes! I'm back! Back to the moment Felt stole my insgnia...wait...Crap! I forgot to mention that I wanted to be brought back to the moment after Felt returned it to me! Ok ok, change of plans time to play out the same thing we did all the way back, so that means nothing of Satella as a name, try to be more nice with Him and most importantly whatever the cost don't let Him die.
She clapped her hands and with a determined look started running towards the direction Felt had gone.
'This time I will make the things right, I will be useful for you, I won't let you die for me ever again Subaru, time to start over from zero.'
But as Emilia was starting her chase a certain thief was thinking other things.
'Great she's falling for it, ok time to rework the whole route need to lead her to an alone alleway, then i can hiver her damm insgnia back and talk to her, by the Dragon i hope she doesn't think I'm crazy, we'll need to team up if we want a clean run from the beginning.'
She was thinking this so she didn't notice how a pink haired maid and a man wearing a helmet were following her movements. A knight was also following them but this time changed his direction walking towards an old house.
Meanwhile in a far away mansion a blue haired maid was arranging a room for a future guest, a little blonde girl was walking around the hallways being the first time in a long while she had exited her place in her library and a man was sitting in his studio reading a book that was sending him shivers to his spine.
A princess was scheming new plans on her head while an emperor far away was preparing for an unusual trip, a merchant and a general were having plans on their own which were discussing with their knights, one looked prepared to jump into action the other was trying to change the opinion of his lady to no avail.
In a village one girl was spying on another one trying to not be seen by her but the other one was too busy thinking of a dream she had this morning to even comment that she had discovered her following her a long time ago.
In the streets of the capital a woman walking in the shadows was smiling brandishing a large kukri knife recently covered in blood while in a camp a mad man was laughing to his heart content with the new prophetic dream he had to the worry of the masked men that were with him while another was furious with it and in a tower surrounded by dunes and desert a girl was screaming in pain.
But while all of that was happening around different parts of the world a boy was standing in front of a stand of appas.
"What is going on? Wasn't it nighttime just a minute ago?
"Oh, right! Satella! Dammit, didn't Puck ask me to take care of her? I have to get back to that shop!"
With that Natsuki Subaru started to run into an alleyway in the opposite direction Emilia was running.
