I slowly opened my eyes to the familiar blue room.

How...?

A short man with bulging eyes and long nose sat in front of the single table. The very same man who offered his assistance on my final journey. Beside him, an all too familiar man with white hair and yellow eyes looked at me with joy and sadness, a love overshadowed with duty.

Igor smiled. "It's been a long time, Master Minako Arisato. It seemed Fate had made this meeting possible once again. The reason, I'm afraid Iknow nothing of. Yet, this absolutely declares my offering of assistance to you once again." He swept his hand above the table. A contract appeared. The paper was empty except for the portion designated for the signature. Out of nowhere, a blue butterfly fluttered down on the contract. "This is a contract of unknown nature. Of course, it will be of your own volition to whether sign this or not. But I should probably inform you that this affects not only you but all of us."

All of us...?

"Now then," A pen appeared beside the contract. "Please sign as you wish, Minako-sama."

I took the pen and signed. Slowly as of magic, words appeared on the paper.

"I chooseth to sign this contract by mine own free will.

I vow to come in terms no matter the cost.

The past shall be history.

The end shall begin once again."

The contract dissolved into blue shards that vanished into thin air.

Igor eyed me with an amused smile. "Well then, let us start from the beginning once again. I look forward to serve you again, Master Minako."

I watched the blue butterfly flutter away as my consciousness begun to fade.

A soft voice whispered to me.

"Protect him."
