Issei eyes cleared and he was inside a what felt like a black void, he couldn't see anything, and his movements felt forced, as if he was moving through tar,

"Boost" Issei whispered as he placed his hand up to his fact using Ddraig's powers to enhance his demonic senses. As his eyesight enhanced, he began to see through the darkness, as it began to melt away, showing the interior of a large structure, it was so large it seemed to go on forever.

"So this is what Asia's mind looks like" Ddraig called as he took in the architecture of the building, large columns of white sandstone held up a the roof of the structure, which was made of from some sort of antique hardwood, as Issei looked he noticed that their where pews, running down the left and right hand sides of the floor. And as Issei turned to look at what was behind him he noticed a pedestal holding a collection of artifacts.

What's that?" Ddraig asked as Issei took the item in hand, it was a stuffed animal, with Yellow and black striped fur, it had two large ears and a long tail and looked like a large mouse.

It's the stuffed animal, I won for her when we met up after our encounter with Freed, why is it here?" Issei sighed as he placed the Stuffed animal back onto its pedestal

Look at this" Ddraig called as issei saw two more pedestals, in the center was a bible, its cover was black leather and was cracked from many ages of use, as its pages where turning a shade of yellowish brown, while on the left hand side was a gown, it was bright white and had small red crosses woven I to the fabric

It's the costume she wore after my fight with Irina, after Aika Kiryuu convinced her it would make me feel better...you know who Aika Kiryuu is don't you Ddraig." Issei smiled.

"Ah yes, I do know her. She's the perverted brunette with the specks, yes, I know her, she the only person I can think of who might surpass your perverted nature." Ddraig sighed.

"You might just be right on that one Ddraig...she fondles Asia every chance she gets!" Issei proclaimed as it echoed through the building, as Issei and Ddraig took in the beauty of the structure

"So, Asia's mind takes the form of a church?" Issei asked Ddraig.

"This is no church Issei, this is a cathedral. just look at the architecture and how grand it is... look to your left Issei." Ddraig bellowed.

"Whoa!" Issei gasped as he saw a large stained glass window on the left hand side of the cathedral, it was a image of a nun healing a collection of people, who were marked with numerous injuries, as she was supported by a collection of nuns and monks.

"That must be Asia...she told me that when she used to live in the church, she became famous as a well renowned healer... this must be her memory of the event." Issei called as he took in the breathtaking image.

"Look here Issei" Ddraig roared as Issei turned to his right to see another Window, this time, it was of Asia on the right, healing a man with a serious wound to his chest on the left, their faces smiling. On Asia's side there was a collection of nun's, monks and members of the village who had axes, swords, pitchforks and torches in hand, their faces marked with anger, while the injured man had a set of black wings protruding from his back.

"That was when she healed Diodora Astaroth, that prick, was lucky that she is so kind, and he used that to try and take her for himself. and look at them, those monks and nuns who supported her now turned against her, because she saved someone they truly hated." Issei hissed his fist clenching.

"People fight for their narrative Issei, even if what they are fighting for is wrong, they shift their morals to one side because they don't want to feel guilty." Ddraig hissed. He knew this all to well, his time with hundreds of wielders had shown that him that those who wish to cause harm to others but know it's wrong, will reject their morals, for a higher power, to justify their actions, whether its a god, a demon, money, politics or some form of Ideology.

Issei walked through the cathedral, and saw numerous stained glass images, from her time with the fallen angels and Freed Sellzen, to her first time meeting Issei and him helping her find the local church, to the many times she had trained and fought alongside Rias and he rest of the peerage the image causing Issei to blush as the image didn't mention that he had took the opportunity to peek at he underwear, the thought of which at the moment made Ddraig huffed in annoyance just to name a few. however as they got closer to the entrance another stain glass image stopped them In their tracks, it was split in half, the left hand side had Asia, bound in chains and having her Sacred Gear torn from her body by Raynare, but to her Right-hand side, there was an image of her lying dead, with Issei weeping over her, as Rias summoned the bishop piece that would bring Asia back from the dead.

"It seems this memory for Asia, has both a positive and negative connotation in her mind, Ddraig sighed." Issei didn't say anything and walked on, that moment had scarred him deeply, as Issei had promised to protect Asia at all costs, and had failed her in that moment, and even though she had come back, that wound was still there and refused to heal, as every time he looked at Asia, he saw her dying in his arms. again, and again.

After what felt like an eternity, they managed to reach the entrance of the Cathedral and saw a large stain glass image, far larger than any of the other ones they had seen, and Issei's mouth dropped at what he saw. It was an image of him and Asia kissing, in his room. it was from when she had managed to awaken him from his slumber after his transformation into the juggernaut drive had resulted in his falling unconscious, and only Asia had the ability to revive him. The Stained-glass window showed this by having Issei lying on the bed, his sacred gear bound to his flesh as Asia was enveloped in a emerald green light, which enveloped Issei.

"It seems that Asia holds this memory in high regard...don't you agree Issei?" Ddraig chuckled.

Hey cut it out Ddraig!" Issei yelped and blushed. He knew Ddraig was right about this, he knew Asia loved him dearly, and getting the chance to kiss him was to her the greatest moment of her life, but for Issei it made him feel as if he didn't deserve it, now that Asia, is so close to being lost again.

Aa they stood admiring the image a faint scream echoed from outside the cathedral.

"That's Asia... Skofnung!" Issei yelled as the blade appeared in his hand.

We have to get to her before its too late" Ddraig bellowed as Issei rushed to the cathedral doors and kicked them open, only to be surrounded by the by the darkness that had enveloped the cathedral when he entered Asia mind, as Issei boosted his vision, he saw a faint purple light in the distance, and without saying anything he rushed into the black void, heading towards the purple beacon of light.
