Chords of Fate

The girl on the woods

Dio's POV

To times in a row. It was already to times in a row that I woke up in the same way.

Only that on this occasion I had been knocked out.

How was this even possible? I could literally stop the time! What kind of place was I in for someone with just raising could knock me out? I was just about to show that stupid woman what I was really capable of, but this man had to appear out of nowhere and ruin everything. Besides, who the hell could live in a cottage as trashy as this one?

Apparently someone able to knock the shit out of me.

This is nonsense!

Now, I was locked inside of... something. You could say it was a strange kind of semitransparent cube. I had never seen anything like it before, and I doubted that this was any kind of stand. Although the energy that this thing emitted was similar to that of the stands, it had something that made it completely different.

Also I was pretty beat up, it was until a few minutes after I woke up that I managed to recover. Whatever that man did to knock us both out of felt awful. I could only describe it as if they were stealing my strength. Of course it was not a pleasant sensation, it was like having a damn mountain on top me. Definitely that bastard was going to pay for it, I was going to show him how it felt to be skinned alive!

I'm going to make you regret the moment you decided to put a foot near me!

"The World." I said softly, bringing my stand out and stopping time. My only options in getting out of here were to do it without that man noticing. That if I was going to avoid him doing me that thing again. Once out of this, killing him while the time was stopped would be a piece of cake.

Once time has stopped, I prepared to leave. "Let's see if your barrier can go against the supreme power of my stand!" I made The World hit the barrier, but nothing happened. Little by little I increased the strength and speed with which my stand hit the walls of that prison, but it was still in vain. I hadn't even managed to make a scratch on it! It started to annoy me, there couldn't be any material that could stand being hit so many times with such force! This was supposed to be the ultimate power.

At the end of five seconds, the cube was still intact ...

"How is this possible?" I asked myself surprised. I could feel the sweat running down my forehead along with the awakening of a feeling I hated, fear. I, Dio, was afraid of what was happening. Not even the counter part of my Stand, Star Platinum, was strong enough to endure the blows of The World without leaving a mark...

This sensation was curious, even in my last moments I hadn't feared death. It was more a feeling of rage combined with surprise, and then I was plunged into that infinite void.

"Ugh ..."

It was until I heard that moan that I calmed down and realized that I wasn't alone in my little prison. The woman was right next to me.

I could see how the weight of whatever had happened to us was more noticeable in her. Little by little she opened her eyes as she rejoined, it really seemed as if a steamroller had passed over her.

If I was right, when she regained her breath she would recover, it was part of the perks of Hamon, and that seemed to be the case because I could already see how she was beginning to look better.

"Where am I…?" The dark-haired girl asked as she slowly got up from where she had been lying, sitting close to me in the process.

"Within whatever this cube is..." I answered without looking at her. This woman didn't have me in a good mood and that was a damn achievement. Getting on my nerves was something very few were able to achieve.

The woman was indifferent towards my behavior. For a few minutes She just watched, analyzing me as if trying to read a book. She was getting on my nerves again when, thanks to whatever happened in that stupid head of her, she decided to pay attention to the situation in which we were.

I already knew what she was thinking of.

"It's useless." I said with a sigh. "I just tried to destroy it and I didn't even scratch it."

Just then, she smiled with mockery. "That's because you were the one who tried... I bet my Star Platinum can destroy something as insignificant as this wall." Wait a second, that look, that smile and confidence... was this woman insinuating that she is stronger than me!?

"Are you implying that I'm weak?!" I said in a growl, bringing my face a few centimeters from hers and fixing my gaze on hers.

"Not that exactly." She replied mischievously. Completely ignoring the hell I was unleashing on her with my gaze "I'm just saying I'm stronger than you... Dio-kun~" and for a change that tone she was using whit my name...

THIS BITCH IS LAUGHIN OF ME IN MY OWN FACE!

"HELL NO! I HAVE TRANSENED HUMANITY! MY POWER IS FINAL! I'M NOT GOING TO LET A STUPID BITCH LIKE YOU SAY WHAT EVER YOU WANT ON MY FACE! SPECIALY TELLING ME THAT IM WEAK!" I was so angry that I couldn't control myself. This woman had something... Something! That made me lose it. I don't know if it was her tone when talking or her confident way of acting near me, but she already made me blow up!

"Ohohoho, then now do you think that you can scream and threaten me in that way? Call me a bitch?" Now I could see a vein standing out her forehead and how little by little she started to get angry. "If that's how you want it... WE CAN RESOLVE THIS WITH OUR FIST AND SEE WHO REALLY IS WHO!" That look full of anger in her... For some reason I enjoyed those feelings that her eyes generated in me. This woman intrigued me, stressed me, and pissed me, all at the same time. At this point I didn't even know what to do with her... but maybe a good fight would kill all the tension.

"Hey ~ Shut up please, don't you see we're trying to eat here?"

That voice... It was the one of the bastard who had gotten us into whatever this thing was!

I turned in the man's direction and, there at the same table where the woman and I had talked before, there was a very tall man, much taller than me, and a girl.

The man's hair was light blue and his eyes color was red, but not a red as intense as mines. I could see how his canines were much larger than normal, almost like mine, and also how he had many scars along his body, or at least that one's his clothes allowed me to observe. One scar on his right eye, another in the left part of his neck and chick, and the larger ones being a set of three scars on his chest, as if it were the claw of some kind of beast.

"You... YOU WERE THE ONE THAT PUT ME IN HERE!" I Screamed with rage. "When I get out of here, I'm going to make sure to break your skull." Saying that, I made sure to give her the most intimidating and gloomy smile I could sketch. I was ready to fight, now he was going to-

"Calm down!" And then everything was interrupted by big smack on the top of my head. "Don't you see you're scaring the girl?" Scare the girl? That was what I could least care about now, what mattered was beating the hell out of that man! This woman should be trying to help me instead of smacking me.

"How dare you hitting me and interrupt me, I am-" Apparently my anger didn't mean anything or she wasn't listening me, because just once again she had interrupted me by giving me another smack...

"Yes, I know what you're going to say, you're Dio and blah blah blah... Can you stop your ego for just a minute? Thanks." She told me giving me a look that for reasons I didn't know, as everything seemed to be lately, managed to shut me up. "Sorry for the inconvenience, he's usually like that just ignore it, now can you tell me who you are"

That man, while analyzing us with his eyes, left his place and headed towards our confinement, standing in front of us. I don't know how it was for the woman, but the time that man looked at me seemed like an eternity. Something in his cold, penetrating gaze made my interiors uneasy.

Ironic that all that courage of a few moments ago vanished with just a glance.

Who is this man and what's up with this feeling…?

Suddenly, he decided to talk. "You, woman, Magic: 1011, Strength: 460 and Spirit: 2264. That's for a total of 3735..." He said looking at the woman and then turning to me.

What is he talking about? Magic? Now it turns out that this woman has... Magic? This nonsense just seems to increase by the minute.

"And you, dirty vampire: Magic: 251, Strength: 1127 and Spirit: 2198. That for a total of 3576... You two are very close at strength, right? Besides that, the ability to stop time makes both of you a force to be feared... Too bad it's only 5 seconds."

Wait. What? How did he realize all that? hmmm, maybe that's some kind of way to calculate the power we held... If so...

And of course that stupid smile on the woman said that she had thought the same thing.

"IT IS EVIDENT THAT I AM STRONGER THAN SHE IS!" Definitely my patience was not at its best today.

"D-dad... L-leave them be..." The woman and I, although I still was angry, turned to the other voice. This one came from the same girl from before, who seemed a little nervous. Looking at her closely, I could see what she was like. His hair was the same as the man's, and his eyes were a fervent honey yellow.

"Lana~ Sweetheart, you know dad can't take his changes." The man's attitude took a whole turn from being serious to... stupidly loving.

"That I understand, b-but maybe you don't n-need to put them in t-that thing... t-they're not animals!" Said the girl shyly and with an annoyed tone, a voice soft and melodious. "W-what if they only need refuge? T-they don't seem to have n-nothing else with them...! "

Hallelujah, finally someone with common sense!

However, that something was normal was definitely a lot to ask. From one moment to another the girl and her father began to argue, obviously ignoring completely what was happening actually happening... To make matters worse, the woman was in a bad mood. The only thing she had been doing in the last few minutes was looking at me with annoyance while frowning.

"Did you miss something woman?" I asked, raising one of my eyebrows in sarcasm.

"I just cannot believe how stupid you really are... I thought you were more calculating, or that you used your head more, I see that apparently you only have your head stuck to your body" she replied me.

"What do you mean by "idiot". Don't you see the situation we're in, what happened to us? " I could be allowing this woman many things. I forgave her humiliating and hurting me, making me look ridiculous in front of these people, and behaving as she wished in front of me; but I was not going to let her tread on my intellect, Of course not!

"If that's so…"

That fucking smirk again...

"Why don't you just calm down and ask politely? Jeez you are like a drama queen, only screaming…"

Joanna's POV

It had been some time since we had managed to get out of that strange cube. After getting Dio to miraculously shut up, and apologizing to the man and her daughter, I got our freedom.

While the girl's father had left without saying a word, the girl had been kind enough to lend us some clothes, although this one's were very old and dusty. The more I observed the place, the more I realized in the conditions in which these people lived. They were practically poor, a countryside lifestyle with very low standards.

The cottage insides only had the essentials; a kitchen, a table for two, and two beds. Their clothes were very few, as much each one had two spare sets, and their personal hygiene... At least they looked clean, but of course, they could be better. Although, Dio and I weren't the indicates to talk about hygiene, we were nasty as we were right now.

I really needed a bath, and fix my damn fluffy hair...

Speaking of Dio, to my surprise all this time he had been quieter than usual, he looked thoughtful. It could well be that something had him low, but I knew that that could never be the case. It was Dio we were talking about, there was no way in hell that that rat wasn't planning something and I knew it for sure. So were the ones like him, egocentric egoists who cared only for themselves, people who thought they could use others as mere tools at their disposal. It just made me sick.

Now, I was sitting in one of the chairs besides the table. I was watching as Dio stared into the darkness of the night through one of the windows of the cottage, he had been doing that a long time now. Since now I had taken the delicacy of observing him carefully, I could notice something else in him. That man that I always thought evil, mean and heartless, missed something. His essence seemed to lack what always characterized him, security. It was as if he was... kinda lost. I could see it in his eyes, and I didn't want to believe it.

"Nonsense, someone like him could never feel that way... I bet my skin that he must be planning some way to kill us all… Tch, as if I would allow that..." I said to myself.

"E-Excuse me..." At that, the girl's voice caught my attention. I stopped observing Dio and realized that the girl had taken a seat right in front of me. She looked nervous, very shy and you could tell she was looking for some way to start a conversation.

"My n-name's L-Lana." She said by miracle, I almost hadn't heard her.

I felt a little pity for the girl. It reminded me of my best friend when I was alive in my world. I had spent many good times with her since we were very young. I remembered how we used to stay whole nights talking about what happened to us, how many times I had to beat the idiots who bully her because of his shy personality when we were at school, and all the times we shared all that booze at the bar...

Hell, how didn't I think about Annie? She must be very heartbroken… I was her only friend…

"Joanna." I replay her whit a small smile.

"I was wondering if... Y-you would want to talk a little with me..." Ok, this was very similar to what had happened with Annie in elementary school when she spoke to me for the first time. And with similar I meant that it was exactly the same thing.

"Of course, I would love to." Now I couldn't help but look at her whit an amused smirk. The shy face of the girl had changed so fast for one of GREAT happiness. It was wholesome to watch; I could already feel that I was going to get along with her.

Then the explosion of joy was unprecedented. "Great! I've never talked to a girl before! Well, I've never really talked to anyone other than Dad... But anyway! I'm tired of hearing the same stories from dad all the time! Can we please talk of how is everything like outside the woods?" OK, this girl is very excited.

"Wow! hold you horses girl. First, how come you've never talked to anyone other than your dad before?" I asked her while laughing softly at the attitude of the girl.

The next hour was a very pleasant one. While Dio had taken the liberty of taking a book that was thrown around the cottage, and sitting down on one of the beds to read it, Lana and I took the time to talk and get to know each other more. The girl had told me that she was eighteen and that her whole life she had had lived with his father on this woods. When I asked her the reasons why they lived like this, she replied that his father wanted like that and that she was forbidden to leave the woods at any cost.

A foolish thing if you asked me.

Personally, it seemed selfish to me, Lana was already eighteen years old for the love of God! Eighteen years of her life had been wasted already... the only thing she knew was a damn forest in which everything was the same. A tree here, a tree there, Look! There's olso a tree over there… It was just dreadful. At least for someone like me, this was not life.

It was impossible for me not to give my opinion on the subject.

"I don't know if this is going to bother you, but I think your father is mad, not to say he is a complete jerk! Who happens to deprive his own daughter of the world in this way?"

Lana to that, with what could only be described as a sad smile, didn't replay. Her gaze turned to a window, and I could see how she looked the skies outside with desire. The last hour this girl had only asked me basic things that anyone should know. Things that you get to know only taking a walk out the park… Lana deserved better.

Poor girl ... How is it that a father can deprive his daughter this much?

"Have you ever felt that your whole life has been a lie?" Lana suddenly asked me, completely deviating from the subject, without taking her gaze from the window. Now the joy that Lana had had an hour ago was gone completely.

"More than you think... In the last few hours I've been through a lot of crazy stuff that made me question that, believe me." I answered while thinking about my situation and leting out a small laugh.

"Yeah… I'm sure my father is hiding a lot of things you know? As you may have noticed, he is VERY powerful, not even I know how powerful he is... because to this day he was normal to me. Besides, he has always told me all that stories filled with nostalgia, as if all that about fairies, giants, demons, angels and noble knights mean something to him." Silence was what filled the place as I paid attention to Lan. I hated what was happening, she was faking her smile, nothing bothered me more than feigned feelings, nothing.

"From a while back, I've started to feel that the reason we live like this is because my father is really trying to separate me from a world he does not want me to know, a world he does not want me to live in... but hat would be impossible, no? A father would never do that to his only daughter, right?" To all that I could only listen to her. I assumed that this girl, never having a someone to talk with, she was letting everything she couldn't with her father with me. How could I refuse? She needed that, if what she occupied was someone to talk with here I was.

"But then, from one moment to another, on a night that seemed like any other, I entered my home to run into two strangers doing similar things... to mine... I always thought that my abilities were unique, but you were invoking those strange spirits. Also, right after my dad used those powers that only existed on his stories... I'm not deaf, I even heard him say that your boyfriend was a vampi-" Of course when I heard that she could see our stands and say that Dio was my boyfriend I almost I fell from my chair. Hell, I could even hear how Dio almost choke with the glass of water he was drinking while reading his book...

"Wait a minute. First, there's nothing between us, not even in your dreams..." Me? Have something with that bastard!? Never! "Second, how could you see these" spirits "?" This time my question was seriously, only stand users were capable of seeing other stands, and I was sure Lana wasn't one...

"What, isn't it normal? It's magic, no?" Better for both if I just ignore the subject. At another time I would clarify why she was able to see my stand.

"Not really, but that doesn't matter at the moment, continue." Smiling, I gestured for her to continue.

"As I said, now I'm sure that most likely I've lived a lie, but... knowing the truth I'm satisfied. I know dad wouldn't do anything that harm me, he made it for my own good." And with that finished, his smile was once again one of joy. One fake smile of joy… How was it that she could accept everything so easily...? and then just telling herself a lie like that?

"At least I could talk to someone else! Now we can be friends!"

This girl... She was so pure and innocent. If only she knew that not everything was like a fairy tale... Life was not as easy as arriving and seeing everything in black and white, there were many gray tones. That's why seeing her there so oblivious of what the world was made make me want to help her, protect her, accompany her and offer her my friendship.

To hell with it, nothing can go wrong with what I'm about to say. Dio will have to stick to my decision, I don't care.

"You know, we can stay for a while making you company, after all we have nowhere to go, so we can be friends." I answered her and I could not see how her gaze filled with true joy now. Even tears showed in her eyes of how happy Lana had become.

I was very surprised that the next thing she did was get up and hold me tight. "Now we can be best friends!"

Hmm, that sounds good.

"If you want my opinion, your father just wants to protect you." Maybe that surprised me more than it had to, because if it hasn't been for hug Lana was giving me I swear I would had fell of my chair. Now what's going on whit this guy? First he's silent for hours, and now it turns out that he knows about family relationships...?

"Believe me. I know firsthand what it's like to have an asshole of a father. That man is not that bad." Although all the time he never took his gaze off the book in his hands, I am very sure that his gaze was filled with rage for a moment. I knew what he was talking about, Dario Brando, his father. Little to almost nothing I knew about how Dio relationship was with him, but still I knew it wasn't a nice one.

Suddenly, the creaking of the door opening left to see Lana's father figure. He came in with lots of luggage bags, one hanging from his back and two more in each hand. First his gaze fell on us and then he looked at Dio out of the corner of his eye. He was still immersed on his book and didn't show interest in his arrival.

After looking around for a few moments, Lana's father sighed. "In gonna miss this place, is full of such wonderful memories… We are leaving Lana."

"Leaving? Where?" Asked the girl, surprised and with a hint of hope in her eyes. Honestly, seeing her with that look after what she told me was wholesome, it made me smile.

"We're leaving the woods. I was out actually getting some things that I hid and hoped never to see or use again... Lana, it's time for me to go back out there, and I don't intend to hide more things from you Lana." The man answered as he sighed and looked directly at the happiness on his daughter's face. "I've tried all these years to hide who I am, and protect you from what you are, but I cannot ignore it anymore... Lana, you have certain skills, right?"

To that question the girl blushed, and with shame she couldn't look at her father directly in the eyes. Everything had become very interesting. Dio was also paying attention, although in a disguised way, but he was doing so. I Imagine that like me, he was trying to figure out what this was all about. After all, we still didn't know where we were at or why Lana had been able to see our Stands.

"Well..." Lana raised her hand, suddenly from her palm some roses began to bloom, although they didn't seem normal, they emanated the same aura as that cube in which we had been locked on. "I can do this... but I honestly don't know what this do." Then, closing his other palm and opening it again, a butterfly flew out of it. As with the roses, it had the same aura. "And also this, but that's all"

How Interesting…

"How interesting, I had never seen magic like this one before." Lana's dad smiled in what was... Sadness? Pride? I think it was a combination of the two.

At least this tells me that in this world there's magic. Now the question is, In what kind of magical world did I ended up?

Lana's dad then turned to look at Dio and me. Since he had freed us from that strange prison, he had acted strange. Now, he was approaching where Dio was reading his book quietly. However, something happened with Dio. His smile was one of malice and, the more Lana's father approached him, the more his mocking smile grew.

When he arrived where the blonde was, the Lana's father asked. "What do you to doing now?"

"Well, obviously, we'll go with you. I don't care what that woman thinks, I'm going with you." That was what Dio said, now fixing his gaze on that of Lana's father. He had started to laugh mockingly; it was as if he was making fun of the man. "Do you think I'm as oblivious as your daughter and I haven't realized it yet?"

And with those words, in the blink of an eye, the tension increased enormously on the room.

What was he referring to? I was pleased to know that he also planned to stay with then, I was not going to have to drag him by force with me. I just wanted to know what he had noticed. Because whatever it was had put Lana's father on edge.

He continued to laugh, this time with his gaze fixed again on the pages of the book. "It's amazing the things you can find in a book. I'll be honest, at first I thought it was a simple story, but as I kept reading I realized the truth."

"What are you talking about?" I asked intrigued. By my side, Lana was just as intrigued as I was, only that, unlike me, I could feel she was frightened. I realized why when I turned to look at her father... The look in that man said many things and none was good.

It was then that I managed to observe the name of the book in the hands of Dio.

"The legend of the seven deadly sins."

Dio looked towards my direction whit a smirk and then putted his gaze back on the book. "As I said, at first it all seemed like a stupid story made for children. Magic, I could believe that, after all on the place the woman and me came from there are powers that could be considered magic, but angels, demons, fairies, giants? Ha! That was hard to believe..." He mocked generating a not very kind reaction on Lana's dad...

"Then, just to distract me, I decided to continue reading, they were talking about a human blessed by a divine grace, Escanor."

"About the fairy king, Harlequin."

"About a woman known as the supreme sorceress, Merlin."

"About the queen of the giants, Diane."

"About somekind of automaton capable of controlling minds, Gowther."

"About the demon king and the supreme deity, Meliodas and Elizabeth."

I didn't have the slightest idea of what wanted Dio to reach by saying that, or what he was talking about. However, the more he spoke, the more tense the atmosphere became.

"These names belonged to a group of warriors known as "The Seven Deadly Sins". This book tells all that is known about them as if it were a "legend, it also talks about their abilities... However, what caught my attention the most was this. Here it's written that all of them millennials ago were granted a prolonged life by a deity, and that before six of them disappeared a thousands of years ago, one of then was given a task besides his loved one, the fairy princes, and also disappeared..." Finally, Dio smiled with malice when saying that. "Do you know who am I talking about...?" At that moment, Lana fell to her knees with her hands placed in her mouth, she looked shocked, tears were beginning to flood her eyes.

Wondering what had happened to her, I crouched down beside her and grabbed her shoulder in a worried gesture. "Are you ok? What's happening, Lana?"

"T-This cannot be true... It must be a joke, it's just a coincidence... Dad...?" Lana asked between delicate sobs. It broke my heart to see her like that. I already understood what was happening, or at least what Dio wanted to achieve. This had to do with what his father hid.

And speaking of his father, it can be said that the look he now had on his face was so dark that it could terrified anything. I was surprised how Dio was managing to be in front of him by now. From where I was, I could feel his murderous aura.

"...D-Dad... please... ANSWER ME!" Now Lana was not only crying without being able to control herself, but she was angry and disconsolate. Little by little and with delicacy I held his shoulder with more force to offer my support. The tension in the room had already reached the limit, that in the state that the girl was in, made me fear that this was too much for her and that at in any moment she would faint.

Then Dio looked at me. Our eyes met and for some reason I understood what he wanted to say just with his look. I didn't understand why he was doing this and somehow making Lana's dad say the truth, but honestly I didn't care. Nothing mattered to me anymore, I just wanted my friend to be fine

"What I do is necessary."

His was telling me that, definitely.

Dio continued talking. "That man, his powers and his description exactly match yours... You know something fox, you... even though you're not like him, you're reminding me... That sicken me! Have the guts and tell your daughter who you really are!" Now Dio was screaming, rage was around his face.

Suddenly, everyone in the room could feel it, and with feeling it I meant that we were crushed by an impressive pressure. That force came from Lana's father. Even Lana had not gone unpunished; didn't he of what happened to her daughter!? Was not it enough for him to see her cry? To make her suffer for something that was obviously his fault!? I couldn't let this continue the way it was!

I gathered all the strength I could to speak under that pressure. "Calm down, you idiot! I don't care of the reason nor why you are angry now! This I what you looked for by hiding Lana all this time… What now really matter is what you are going to make now! Now what I care of is of my friend safety… don't you see you are hurting your own daughter!" I shouted with everything I got. By my side Lana was suffering for the love God! I couldn't let this be? What can she feel being hurt like this by his own dad?!

A few minutes passed and the pressure that was crushing my buddy disappeared completely. When I finally regained my strength, the first thing I did was seeing how bad Lana was. When I saw her, for my comfort, apart from a few scratches, it didn't seem that anything else had happened to her.

"How are you feeling girl?" I asked, while supporting her on one of my shoulders and slowly helping her up. She was weak and disoriented, with great difficulty she almost couldn't stand without my help...

However, without caring about the state she was in, she smiled weakly. "I-I think I am... Thanks... Where's dad?"

I returned the smile and turned my gaze to where I knew Dio and the responsible of everything that had happened was. Dio had just got up from where he had been lying. Of all, he was the one that looked worse, and even being all worn up, he slowly walked until he got where we were. Supporting Lana on one of his shoulders, she helped with her. It seemed like something completely otherworldly to me! But it was happening, Dio was actually helping someone in need, so I just assumed it and focused on what was important

Not without first making fun of him, of course.

"And what kind of bug crave up your ass now? feeling sorry for inferior beings, Dio-kun~" I said mockingly.

Dio to this only hummed with annoyance and turned his looked towards Lana's dad. The three of us were expectant to what was happening now, Lana more than anyone else. Dio and I already knew what his response would be, however, because of the devastating look that Lana was holding towards her father, and the tears that ran like rivers down her cheeks, I knew that she also knew what that answer would be... I knew she just wanted to hear it from him too.

Nanatsu no Taizai OST-Elaine and Ban

Lana's father looked at us and then turned around, turning his back on us. "I think this was inevitable Lana..." He said in the middle of a sigh. "I'm sorry if I lose control, it hurts me to see you like this, more than anything in this world, and I understand you, but someday you will understand why I did it..."

Silence, for what seemed like an eternity, after that there was only silence.

We kept looking at the back and tall figure of Lana's father. Now, the light of the moon that showed through the window made his figure stand out more, giving a mystical and nostalgic atmosphere to the situation.

"It was a long time ago... but it still hurts. That day, when Ilianna appeared before us and entrusted us with the task of living our life, I believed that the gods had finally wanted something good for us. We lived the best we could for centuries, bringing prosperity to Britania and seeing it flourish. Life couldn't be better, until he appeared. He destroyed the whole kingdom and absorbed all the magic that existed in it. He became one with the miasma and creatures of the purgatory, he basically transcended the limits of creation... We believed that everything had come to his end... However, Ilianna appeared again, she told us that he would help us manage his strength. with her combined power and with ours, we managed to contain him at a very high price... It was hard for us, but your mother and I managed to move on after the tragedy. Then I was blessed with you, and cursed again with the loss of your mon. " Nobody understood what Lana's father was talking about. Everything he said only made us more confused... What did Ilianna have to do with all this? What tragedy was he talking about?

"And for the two of you, I don't care if you believe me or not, but the reason I decided it was finally the time to get out there again was because your arrival and what I felt in the morning.
