A new challenger is approaching!

Ok welcome to the second round of Everdark. Season 2 so to say or as I called it. I thought I should finish the first bottle. The Everdark story bottle. And start drinking from a new bottle. And what is a good fight without a challenge correct?

By the way yes I ripped the title out of the Super Smash Bros. fanchise XD I always loved and still love that sentence. And I am a Super Smash Bros. player with roughly 1000 hours combined playtime by now. The only one I do not have is Ultimate. Don't know. Didn't like it. I watched someone else play the story mode for a bit that is all. And I know the ending of it. Most time is stuck in Brawl where I am on a bit under pro level with absolutely every character in the whole game at this point.

You should have watched Date A Bullet!/Dead or Bullet! and White Queen vs Nightmare for this. I am actually quite impressed that these two episodes are actually pretty much unrelated and ripped out of the story. Mostly. Apart from knowing who Spirits are and who Kurumi is you don't really need alot else when you watch the episodes. Very impressive.

Right off the bat the first story is about the White Queen and Nightmare/Kurumi. Starting strong in my opinion. The last chapter previously was just about Kurumin as Rio calls her. Here is something more impactfull.

So you are here

Finally

Once again

You joined for another round

The last round

I wonder

Are you going to enjoy this game or not

Will you win or will you lose

Do you even want to win?

If you can that is...

Is your resolve strong enough

Is this going to fare good or not

One way or another you will pay

You will be confronted with what you left behind

You thought it was over

But it is not

The mystery thickens

Do you know who is your enemy?

Do you know who is your ally?

You better find out...

Or you will lose this game

And that wouldn't really be fun would it?

I need to hunt you down

I need to enjoy it

Or I will not be satisfied

I will show you what it means to be in this place

But don't fret

It won't be too long

And you will know these word's meaning

Until I can hunt you down

Do not lose to anyone else

After all Spirits are heavenly beings in this world

Said to rule over all others

So show it to me

I challenge you

To this final battle

This last fight that you have been granted

And if you win

You will be able to get back whatever you lost

But you will also have to lose something else along the way

I definitely know where my Loyalty stands

And it will be perfect

My revenge will be perfect

But I do wonder

...

Even if I get my revenge and my wish is granted...

What is it that I want?

I have been here for such a long time that I have forgotten

What is it that I want

All my efforts have gone into this

This whole world only has meaning because you will be here soon

Come here before everything disappears

Killing you will give me the answer

Of that I am sure

But killing you is the answer to that question as well

What would my wish be?

When I reached my goal what is it that I would want?

Will it be to turn everything back to how it was?

Before I landed here

Back to the point where I have not been betrayed yet?

But if I did that...

It would not change anything

I would just get betrayed again

Because Time is absolute

One way or another

The fight is on

Oh and don't worry

I will make sure that you will be the last man standing

NOONE is allowed to take you away from me

Because I love you over everything

Even after all this time

This has not changed

How pitiful of me

Only the Royalty is allowed to destroy and dispell the Darkness

White pierces Black

The colour of the Hero

The colour of ALL colours

Light illuminates all material things

Shines brighter than all others

The true form that reveals

Whatever tries to stay hidden

It glows radiantly

But it doesn't dispell the Darkness hiding all that is not Light

Because when you shine Light on something

And the Shadow disappears

A new Shadow will appear

This law stands absolute

And nothing is above it

For all eternity

Am I just going to lose either way?

Will I then become tainted myself?

I guess then I will truly be all alone

One way or another come to me

Like a Moth to the Flame

To your last Challenge

The final killing game so to speak

Your last Challenger is approaching

And she is nearer than you think

You will come to understand

What all means and I will too

What is it that awaits me at the end?

If I lose I will certainly die

But death does not matter much to me anymore

But would that be any different from winning

My existence would not have any meaning anymore

Would my wish potentially be...

Darkness?

Please leave a review, I'd appreciate it for my future work.
