Seikon's POV

"Cross Combination!"

The much more mature looking Neptune did several seemingly powerful strikes at the dragon but it seemed to pay as much heed as a horse does a fly.

"Slash Wave!" said Nepgear sliced her sword along the ground sending a magical wave towards her foe. But much like Neptune's attack it did little besides anger the ancient beast.

"UGHH, how strong is this dragon!" shouts Neptune while taking a step to the left to dodge the dragon's claws.

"We can do this!" Shouted Nepgear encouragingly turning to face Neptune. That mistake very nearly cost her. Unbeknownst to her the dragon took advantage of her distraction and took a hit at her with outstretched claws. I barely had time to react.

"NEPGEAR!" I threw myself in front of her, the dragons claws raked me across my chest, causing a severe wound and a large amount of blood to spill. "AHHHHH!" The pain was nearly enough to send me directly into shock.

While Neptune renewed her attack Nepgear flew over to me. She had a look of surprise mixed with sadness and just a small tinge of anger. "Wh…Why did you do that?" she asked.

That's a good question, why did I? From what I've seen so far it seems likely Nepgear would of survived such an attack anyway. Of course, I knew why but I had trouble putting it into words.

"I…I just…wanted to…protect you…" I replied uncertainly. "It made me feel…happy to at least try to protect you."

It seemed the blood loss was to much, I could feel my heart rate slowing, my breathing lessen and my mind sink into darkness. The last thing I heard was a voice that sounded far too distant to be as close as some part of me knew it was. I heard Nepgear shout "Seikon? Seikon? SEIKON WAKE UP!"

I could swear I felt a tear on my face, and it wasn't my own.

"Huh? Where am I?" I ask to no one in particular, I couldn't even if I wanted to, I saw no one around me.

Nor did I see any sky, or land, nothing. Just blackness that seemed to stretch to the ends of the earth. I do another 180 turn and nearly jump. Suddenly a large book appeared in the air, seemingly floating.

I walked over to the floating tome but before I could open it there was a flash of white light and when I gazed upon the manuscript again, a familiar woman was sitting on top of it.

"Hello, we meet again Seikon." Said the fairy from the start of my journey, still wearing the same purple frilly dress.

"AH" I exclaimed with surprise and took a step back, "You again… Where am I and why did you bring me to Gamindustri? And for that matter HOW?"

Histoire answered my questions without delay and surprisingly calmly, "We are inside your mind right now. You are still for why I brought you to Gamindustri…that's complicated.I've been observing Nepgear for quite some time. She's lonely, though she hides it quite well, but not well enough.I thought a male friend would help her to get out of her shell. And I brought you to Gamindustri by magic."

She stated matter-of-factly before continuing. "I brought you here for another reason as well. I want to help you overcome your intense nervousness around girls. Come with me please."

She said then walk (…floated?) in the opposite direction she had been facing.

I followed along trying to ask further questions. But she rebuked all of them with "You'll see soon" or "I can't tell you that yet" and similar remarks.

After roughly 10 minutes of getting no where verbally with this tiny fairy, I saw something in the distance besides black.

As we got closer I noticed more details on the object. It was a pinkish purple color and seemed to have an unnatural glow.

As we got less than two dozen paces from the object I realized it was some sort of crystal. Histoire hovered near the object and gestured to me, then the crystal.

"Take it if you want, it'll help you to overcome your anxiety around girls." I walked over to the crystal and picked it up, it was small but still surprisingly light.

Slightly larger than my palm but still small enough to not have to use two hands to carry it, it seemed light as a feather.

Why did Histoire try help me, why did she give me this crystal?

I rotate the Crystal. I feel some mysterious sensation on my body. It feels…warm…

"It's time to say goodbye, we will meet again I'm sure" Histoire said ominously. And with that she vanished, leaving me alone with this mysterious crystal and nothing else but my thoughts.

Author: The next Chapter will be the end of the fight, but was happened to Seikon? If you have any question, just ask me: D

Have a nice Day
