For this one, listen to Sayaka's Theme Song: Decretum.


Entry 27: I won't end like you

Sherrie noticed Miku who walked around the city, searching for new Witches. She deceided to ditch everything: school, friends, her life and only live to kill Witches. She came across a train station and sat on the bank to rest.

"So, does your wife know you're cheatin' on her?"

"No, and she even ain't suspicious. She thinks I'll overwork myself with all the late nights."

The two buissnesmen laughed. Miku got angry and turned to them.

"How can you be so rude and laugh at your wife!? She loves you!" she yelled.

"Shut up twerp. This is not your buissnes." replied one of them. Suddenly, Miku's SG started to glow and she realized there was a Witch nearby. The two men walked away.

'I hope she'll get you two.' she thought and then entered the barrier.

Sherrie smirked as she heared Miku's thoughts and followed her.

"What happened?" I asked Stella. She called me, Sayo, Yuri and Yukio to help her after she brought Kira and Kalin, who were in the hospital.

"Miku's Soul Gem is darkening." said Stella.

"Just great. We need to stop her before it's too late." I said.

"I still have Candeloro's Grief Seed." said Stella.

"The only question is: where's Miku?" said Sayo.

'I think I can answer that question.'

We heared QB before he appeared.

"I'm not starting to wonder if it's really coincidence that he knows where which Witch is." said Yukio.

'Follow me.' said Kyubey and we followed him. We arrived to a train stop and Yuri opened the barrier.

It was filled with calls for attention. The outer area of the Labyrinth were filled with train tracks. There were no Familiars though so we could move on without any accidents. On the entrace was a sign saying Love Me Do.

The next sign had runes which read Desiderantes Affectibus.

"This is strange." said Yukio.

"Why?" I asked.

"Summis desiderantes affectibus is latin for Desiring with supreme ardor." he explained. "Acidentaly, that was the name of the papal bull which opened the door of witch hunting in the Middle Ages."

"How do you know that?" I asked. He smiled.

"Well, I witnessed it." he replied.

"Hey, guys, look at this." said Sayo and we turned to the runes which she found. It stood: My wish is somewhere not here.

"Poor girl." Sayo added.

"We should go now." said Stella and we hurried up through the long corridor filled with concert posters.

Soon, we arrived to a distorted concert hall, where the seats filled the domed ceiling. It was populated with a spectral string orchestra.

"Summon Analyzer!" I looked first at the dudes which were playing the instruments, violins.

'Holger. The mermaid witch's minion, whose duty is to perform. Several of them form a hollow orchestra that continually plays music for the witch. People who listen to their music for long enough will lose their soul. This orchestra only exists for its witch; to her, the orchestra is everything.'

Then I turned to the girls which were dancing.

'Klarissa. The mermaid witch's minion, whose duty is a backup dancer. She only exists to dance cheerfully behind the witch.'

Finally, I turned to the Witch which looked like a mermaid with armor. She had a sword.

'Oktavia von Seckendorff. The mermaid witch; it is in her nature to fall in love. Looking for the feeling that moved her so long ago, she moves with the entire concert hall. Her fortune only turns under the weight of memories and no longer moves toward the future. Nothing will reach her any longer. She will come to know nothing more. She simply allows no one to disturb her minions' playing.'

The Witch shouted and a disorted scream was heared.

We noticed Miku and Sherrie facing the Witch.

"Miku!" I yelled. The Witch summoned wheels and directed them to those two. Sherrie used her dual swords to defend herself, but Miku was struck by the wheels, since her powers were lousy in close combat.

Stella, Sayo and Yuri wanted to jump in and help them, but the Klarrisa encircled them. I and Yukio were stroke by the wheels.

"Summon Barrier!" I exclaimed, summoning a protective barrier which held off the wheels.

"This Witch is stronger then we thought." said Yukio and exited the barrier to cut the wheels with his sword.

Stella, Yuri and Sayo, after they cut apart some of the Klarissa, entered the barrier I created to get some air, before they countined the fight.

Miku tried to escape the flying wheels, but she was struck by them. Pain rushed through her body, yet she ignored it.

"I know how you feel, I fell in love once too, but got dumped. The guy I love dosen't know about my feelings and I guess it's the best for me and him. Who'd be together with a monster?" Miku managed, despite the wheels, to summon an arrow and directed it at the Witch. "And therefore, I deceided to give up this life. I see you didn't, but you rather deceided to fall into despair. That turned you into a Witch, Oktavia."

One of the wheels hit her and she accidentaly let the arrow go. It hit the ground, creating an explosion which made everyone, including Oktavia, fall through it.

Miku hovered in mid-air as she was falling.

"I thought I'd be happy when I find Kalin. I now realized it brought me only despair and stress. Yet, I won't end like you."

"What are you doing, Miku-san?" asked Sherrie as she dodged an another wheel.

"Different as you, I won't die like a monster..." Miku whispered, taking her darkned Soul Gem. She tightly gripped it. "I'll die, like a hero. For the sake of my friends. For Kalin's sake!"

She summoned a blue barrier, keeping everyone but her and Oktavia out of it. Sherrie's eyes wided as she realized what Miku planned.

"Don't!" she yelled.

The rest of us could only stare at what was happening.

Miku then let her SG float towards Oktavia and summoned a huge arrow.

"I hope, no one will forget me..." she whispered as tears runned down her cheeks. She gulped and gathered all her power into this one attack.

"GO!"

Her SG shattered. The explosion which the attack created was immense. It blew away everything. And nothing was left.

Except the Grief Seed which had an musical tone as an emblem.
