I do not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn

If I can make my way to the other side of sorrow
Then I don't need warmth or tomorrow anymore

The dream that landed in the darkness of silence
Who...? Is the light that briefly spilled on my cheeks

Why...? Without knowing the method to stop an all too fragile world
I was simply wishing, that's right, for oblivion

If I can make my way to the other side of sorrow
Then I'd like to not feel anything beyond this anymore...

CHAPTER 26

Love. A long time ago, the word was such a foreign sound to Lilith. The only person she care and love was her mother but once Tristiatina was back in the arms of her husband, the strong noble feeling subsided a little. Now that Tristiatina is with Xanxus, Lilith had been spending less time with her. She was happy with her husband and Lilith decides to distance herself to ensure her happiness. Besides, she have something to keep herself busy; The Sin. Her own family. The family that she assembles and raise together. Although the Sin could be a little handful, Lilith will never admit out loud that she cares for the Sin like her very own siblings. She views them not as her guardians but also, as a group of individuals who require her guidance.

Although they have different backgrounds, Lilith was more than happy to have such strange yet loyal people by her side. That was fine. She loves the Sin like how a mother loves her children equally. But then, her heart slowly changes when she met with the Archangel. Lilith hates any sort of sappy cliché moments but it seems she can't avoid it entirely. She - dare she says it - fell for Sawada Teruyoshi at first glance. Not immediately but certainly. Hell, even unknowingly! She never has friends before until she met Heidi. Thanks to Heidi, she met the Sin and become a very special person to them. When she met Teru, the love that she reserve solely on the Sin and her mother, grew drastically everytime she sees the boy. Lilith had always said that love is a weak force and very manipulative. Such pitiful feelings scowl the girl. She didn't need that kind of emotion for she is a creature with such rage that she could burn an entire town. If she's feeling extra pissed, she would use Sol's flame for some destruction. But this boy, Vongola Undecimo, is one of the very, very few people who could ease her rage easily. It was frightful. Lilith didn't want to change for anybody. She isn't trouble with pretending to be someone for her mother but to change completely? No one deserve that kind of special treatment from her but with Teru, she didn't need to. The Archangel accepts Lilith for who she is unconditionally.

As the two young Skies kiss, Lilith automatically swore in her heart that she will do everything in her power to protect the handsome brunet infront of her. For from now on, he is hers. Lilith will destroy everything that saddens him. She will eradicate anything that he despises. She will kill anyone who is stupid enough to harm her Morning Sky. The beast in her was a protective and powerful one but her mind is practical. She trusts the Archangel's guardians to keep him safe while Lilith will protect him from the distance in order for the boy to grow into a man. As the Night Sky, she will watch him from afar but will always remain close to nurture his heart. Love is a stranger but Lilith welcome it if it will brings some lights into her bleak and despicable world. Lilith is the Sin's boss. The herald of Solvestress Von Scarlettee. An ally to the Vindice. A fearsome enemy. A girl who is determine to live her life in a world of death and fighting all the while loving a boy who is the light in her heart. Not that she will tell of course.

Love. A familiar word for Teru. He loves his family and friends more than his own life. The boy can be said that he love his family and friends so much that he is willing to risk everything he cares all for the people that he loves. But as much as he loves them, he couldn't help but sometime feels that nobody truly understand him. Nobody truly notice his daily conflicts with himself. Every night he questions about his fate before sleeping without any answers to his problems. He doesn't want to be a mafia boss. Yes, he wants to protect all those who are dear to him but why must the power that he needs are from the underworld? Why must he kill to protect? Vongola is the largest crime syndicate in the world that is feared in the underworld and also publically. And soon, he will be the heir of this organization.

The thoughts never fail to make the poor boy visibly flinch. It was all just too much. He fears to shoulder that sort of position. He saw what the Vongola did to his father. He saw those long horrible scars on his dad's back when he was a child. He weeps quite horribly that day. He weeps for his father that had to endure so much hardship when he was younger. He weeps at the thought that his father's life could be easily stolen by some men in his daily life. He weeps that he would make his parents and friends cry should he ever suddenly disappear from their lives. Teru was terrified. He didn't want to bring shame to his family and friends but at the same time, he wants a life away from the mafia but he knew that the Vongola blood run through his veins. Escape is futile. And so he accepts his fate with a heavy heart. Telling himself that every day is precious to him should his end is near. As a reminder that his fate isn't as cruel as his heart is telling him.

Despite that Teru was far from perfect, he keep training to be strong so that he could protect his family and friends. He lacks in confidence in himself, not that good in academics or sports, lacks of social skills beside his guardians and is very weak. But he will never give up. He cares for the Vongola too much to give up. He is a prisoner of his own heart. That was until he met with Lilith. A breath-taking beautiful girl. In Teru's eyes, Lilith is perfection. She was beautiful, strong and loyal to her mother. He admires her will to always stay strong to what she believes in albeit that no one understands her drive. How she cares for the Sin like her own siblings. Teru saw Lilith as someone to look up to. But unlike any other people, only Teru could saw the pain in her heart. He knew that the young girl cast herself away for her mother happiness. Teru didn't like this; He didn't like it when his goddess is unhappy. Lilith is unlike any other people in his life. She is… Special. Everytime he made the girl smile, he could faintly hear the chains of responsibilities and burdens broke one by one. It's as if Lilith is the answer to his problems.

The admire slowly turn to love. He loves Lilith. He loves when she smiles and laugh only to him. Lilith is strong, so unbelievably powerful. Teru just knew that everything will be fine with her by his side as if the girl's strength is sharing with him and help him become stronger. Teru love the way how he always get Lilith's absolute undivided attention whenever they are together alone. How the Night Sky look at him like he is the only thing in the world. He love the fierce yet protective gleams in her ruby red eyes when something threatening her beloved. He love how cute Lilith look like whenever she pouted. It was just so adorable! But most of all, he loves it whenever she sang. He loves how her strong voice lower to something more gentler and how her lyrics just floats around him, giving him strength and comfort depend on her song. He felt immensely honour that Lilith willingly share this secret side of her only to him. The useless kid, the eternal loser, the Dame-Teru.

Even her mother didn't know this side of her. It was impossible for him to believe that Lilith would ever love someone so useless like him, but she does, kissing him and him returning. He certainly expects that Lilith would reject his weak confession but he was drop dead shock when Lilith returns his feelings. And without further ado, they seal the confession with a sweet kiss. Their first kiss. At that brief moment, Teru promise to always be by Lilith side to protect her, comfort her and love her. He will get the Varia approval somehow but now, the entire thing that occupies his mind was Lilith. As he wraps his arms around the girl's body – and the Archangel marvel at how perfectly right it felt to cradle the beautiful form against his weak own. They were still in the throne room and were sitting in a large couch. Lilith was sitting on Teru's lap; her head snuggle comfortably against his chest. "This is a bit ironic" Lilith murmurs, breathing in on Teru's strange scent. It smells sweet yet at the same time spice with excitement. Lilith could get addictive with his scent. "What's so ironic Lilith-chan?" Teru ask as he gingerly stroke her hair. "I never believe in love. Such useless feelings are unsuited for me as it will only make me weak and yet, thanks to that emotion, I never felt so at peace before without fighting" Lilith said truthfully. Teru had become her one and only happiness and she'll be damn if anything happen to her handsome brunette. "I feel really peaceful and happy too Lilith-chan, probably in a long time" Teru whisper lovingly. They sat like that until morning was fast approaching.

"You should probably wake up soon Teru-kun. Before Reborn hit you with his green mallet hammer" Lilith teases. Teru yelped and they got up. Lilith summons a door that lead directly to Teru's inner world. Lilith watch as Teru head to the door but he turn to face Lilith. His face was mature and serious. "I give you my heart Night Sky. And because of that, I allow you to hurt me the deepest and most painful way there is. All I ask is please not to break it. Your life isn't yours alone anymore. It's mine as well as those who you care and cares about you. If you leave then we will all follow. This is how it will be" Lilith was startle at how bold his statement is. But that is one of the reason she likes about Teru. He is childish but at the same time matures beyond his age. "Sol once told me that, one you are born into this world you will be instantly trapped in a web. A web that are spun by the bonds of friendship, family and love. No matter how much you struggle, you will never be completely free. It's because of this web that humans will find trust, happiness and peace" Lilith smile at her Morning Sky. "You claim that you gave me your heart and so in return, I will give you mine. Don't screw it" Although Lilith was smitten with the Archangel, she still isn't one to be sentimental.

Teru laugh which sounds like gentle wind chimes. "I will Lilith-chan. Have a good day Lilith-chan" Teru said and step through the door. Lilith sat on her golden throne once Teru had left. She couldn't help but ponder how she is so lucky. She shouldn't deserve Teru as the boy was far too kind for his own good but he loves her which is why she had made him hers even though they are so different. Maybe her life isn't so horrible after all. For once, she felt like a normal girl who just has herself a boyfriend for the first time.

The next day, both Skies were in a happy mood. The other was quite obvious while the girl, well you really have to stare at her face to see the traces of red on her cheeks. The Varia didn't suspect anything. They just concluded that it was one of those days. Understanding girls are like reading History books to them – they don't make the slightest damn sense. As for Tsuna and Kyoko, they couldn't understand why their son was so happy but fortunately, his friends did. Here is what they thought about it at school when Teru told them that he and Lilith are official now:

"Congrats Teru! I'm so happy for you and Lilith-chan! I hope that you 2 will always be happy!"

"Hmph, most girls are not worthy for Juuichidaime but I guess that Lilith is pretty okay. She is strong and she will definitely keep you safe Juuichidaime!"

"I am extremely happy for you 2. Way to go Teru-kun"

"I guess Lilith is okay. Maybe a little scary but she is brave. You need some like that Teru-kun. Just don't forget about us, ne?"

"…Congratulation Teru-kun…"

"Kufufufu… It's about time Teru-kun. We were getting sick of waiting. Now I can't wait to see how you will break this news to your parents and ESPECIALLY the Varia. This will be quite a show"

Teru smile happily at their approval (Except for Valencino's, he still doesn't have a clue how to tell the Varia about this). God help his poor soul from the wrath of Xanxus. As for Lilith, she decides to keep the news a secret from the Varia and even Tristiatina. They didn't need to know about her love life anyway. On the other hand, this could affect the Sin in some way so she told them blatantly. Now this is what their reactions:

"Uwaah! Lilith-sama finally couple with Teru-kun! Heidi whole heartedly approves! Heidi also wants a boyfriend for herself now!"

"So this is the boss first love, eh? I hope that Teruyoshi will be able to make you happy when we couldn't"

"Well ain't this just great? There's goes my chance to score Lilith-sama for myself. Heh, at least you're happy"

"I hope that Sawada Teruyoshi is everything that you wish for Lilith-sama"

"…If the boss is happy then so am I…"

"So happy ever after do exist…"

Lilith couldn't help but smile fondly at their antics as they herded around her at their villa that night. She seriously can't wait to tell Sol about this.

At one of the Vongola mansion in Japan, a certain Mafioso boss with brown hair that defies the very law of gravity was rummaging the drawers and cupboards in his office frantically. "Where is that file…? I'm sure that Hibari-san had left it in here…" Tsuna muttered worriedly. Reborn and Hibari would kill him for losing something so important! His luck ran out of the window when the door opens. "Oi! Dame-Tsuna, what are you still doing in here? You should be at the training room right now" The hitman frown as he study how messy the office look. "A-Ah Reborn! Just a minute…" He stuttered still looking for the file. "Don't tell me you somehow lost the file that was given to you by Hibari…?" The Sun Arcobaleno question dangerously.

"Hiie! You got it wrong Reborn! I didn't even saw Hibari-san's file on my desk! I swear!" The man cried in defense. Reborn believe the man. He always knew whenever Tsuna attempt to lie at him which of course, never works. He was certain that Hibari had placed the file on Tsuna's desk for the Cloud Guardian is very diligent in everything he does. But where was the file? He didn't saw anyone entering Tsuna's office for he had just return from checking the surveillance cameras. His frown deepens. It wasn't just any other file; it was a file containing information about that that girl that was in their captive before her family rescues her and attacked the Vongola. "Isn't it obvious Dame-Tsuna? Somebody stole it" Reborn stated. Tsuna froze before slowly stare at his ex-tutor. "But that's impossible Reborn. No one could enter this office without anyone noticing! We have guards all around this place plus the surveillances cameras everywhere!" Tsuna implored. "Well then that should be really simple Dame-Tsuna…" Reborn reply, pulling his fedora down to shadow over his eyes. "It must be an inside job then…"

Lilith was training all day. With the Varia officers and alone. She still hadn't seen Sol all day. Not that she was worried about said woman, no sir-ee. She just needed a teacher to supervise in her training. Yeah, that's it. She was taking an afternoon nap under the shady tree outside of the Varia manor, just for the sake of some new and brighter scenery. As soon as she went to la-la land, she went to training when Sol wasn't there to greet her with her usual sarcastic remark. She train for 3 hours, trying to perfect her new moves that she had just came up with yesterday. She was satisfied that she is progressing rather smoothly. Not a half bad. She could control her sins a lot better now too. Chain, along with her also improves. He now has the ability to create his own armor made of both Sky flames and even Sol's flames. Lilith wonder if Chain could also uses the sin abilities too. In the throne hall, Lilith leisurely rested and wonders what Teru is doing right now. Her thoughts came to halt when the candles and chandeliers dimmed slowly. The throne room soon becomes eerily dark and cold. Lilith immediately got up; This had never happen before. She tries to summon a door but no door appears and oh, speaking of door, the door at the far end of the hall suddenly disappears. Lilith's ruby eyes wander around "What the hell is going on…?" She growl softly. Outside of the hall, Lilith could hear the furious howling of the wind that suddenly appears.

The wind turns to a storm in a matter of second. The force of the storm shatters all the glass windows of Lilith's hall. At this point Lilith is already armed with her weapons. This shouldn't be happening. According to Sol, no one can enter a person's inner world without an invitation so what the hell is going on? The wind was still howling, sending cold shivers to the girl but she kept strong. In the midst of cold, shadow and vulnerability moment, Lilith could hear two set of high heels tapping on the floor. Getting louder and louder. Lilith narrows her eyes at the accumulated darkness, waiting for the intruder with her gun aiming right at the centre. A figure slowly emerges from the shadows. There stood proudly infront of Lilith was none other than Eve. Her metal bunny ears twitch. Upon the sight of her patron's main enemy, Lilith immediately draws out the Grimoire Regalia's box weapon own by Sol. It was dangerous fighting with Eve without Sol, Lilith silently pray that whatever the box weapon may hold, it would be enough.

The moment Lilith's light her ring with Sol's Evil flames, Eve raise one of her metallic pronged hand as a sign of peace. Lilith was surprisingly stupid enough to freeze her hands. Still expressionless as ever, Eve took a step back once she saw that Lilith wasn't going to attack at her. She lowered her hand and the darkness shifted, it grew behind her and consumes the entire hall along with Lilith. Not letting her guard drop even once, she try to use her Sky flames to brighten her surrounding but the shadow were simply just too thick so she focus on her senses. She couldn't hear any sign of Eve. Her footsteps, her heartbeat and even her breathing in the cold darkness. It was as if Eve is a doll yet alive at the same time. It was frightening. Lilith stays in the darkness for a really long time without any sound whatsoever. But that soon change when Lilith could hear the sound of chains dangling. Clawing the floor all around Lilith. The coldness increase when Lilith heard a chilling piercing scream of a woman.

The sound indicates that it was coming just right beside her. But that is impossible; Lilith couldn't feel any sort of presence! The louder the chains pull itself, the louder the sound of the woman screaming in pain. The raven hair girl looks around to search for the woman, to help her but she didn't know where! Another scream rang through her ears. Soon, Lilith was surround with painful screams, cries of agony and howls of anger. The noises slowly morph to inhuman shrieks of pain. It become louder, louder and louder until Lilith couldn't take it anymore. She drops her weapons and pressed her hands to her ears, tightly closing her eyes. She could feel a crushing pain falling before her, it just too much. She could barely breathe! "Where… Is this… Place…?" Lilith chokes. This doesn't feel like an inner world of dream. This sensation is too real. The screams and howls gotten so loud that Lilith thought that her ears would explode. To make matter worse, the curtain of darkness lifted themselves up to show Lilith the horror that was around her. 7 figures appear suddenly. They look humans but not entirely.

They were all sitting on the freezing shadows, legs, hands and body being painfully tightened by thick spikes of chains. Although it was still dark, Lilith could clearly see how the spikes penetrated into their skin, how the bright red blood trickle down their bodies, how horrible the wounds are and how they screams when the spikes impale deeper into their body as it squeezes the life out of them. But that was impossible. With wounds like that, any normal human would die in a matter of seconds and yet, these creatures were still able to breathe albeit they are living in a hellish life. Lilith wanted so badly to help them but the shadows underneath her quickly rise as if it knew of her intentions and wrap her firmly, rendering her completely immobilize. "No!" Lilith yells. She fell on her knees feeling weak and hopeless.

The 7 poor victims were blindfolded by a piece of white cloth. Some of their blindfolds were wet with tears trickling down their red cheeks. The spike chains continue to pull itself even more and the tortured let out inhumane shrieks of agony. That was when Lilith notices that one of them was different from the rest. It was a woman with long black hair. She was the only one who receives the most fatal injuries on her. The thick spike chains completely wrap her entire body yet she struggle not to scream. The chains pull again and the woman bites her tongue painfully, causing it to bleed and spill out from her mouth. She was also crying but instead of tears, blood trickle down her face from her eyes, making the white blindfold turn red. Lilith whimpered at the sight and called out, "S-Sol?" Although she didn't know their identity, her heart was telling her that these people are the Grimoire Regalia. Her brain was hurt from the questions that filled her mind. Her strength and sanity was slowly abandoning her. "Sol!" Lilith called out again. Hoping that the woman could at least hear her. She wanted to give some sort of ease to them but she didn't know how. "God… What is this?" She cried. This wasn't like anything she felt before. This was new, horrible and terrifying.

"…Painful… So painful…"

The sudden cold and emotionless voice startle the mortified girl. Lilith didn't recognize that female voice.

"…This is where we were… Born…This is where we live…"

The voice echoes in Lilith's ears along with the Grimoire Regalia anguish screams. Lilith force herself to block all of the noises.

"This is our… World. There is no escape from… Fate. No escape from existence…"

The voice continues. Could it be Eve? It was possible but Lilith didn't think of that. She was too busy trying to break free.

"A fate… Worst than death. Unable to run away…Unable to… Look away"

"Sol!" Lilith yells once more. The Grimoire Regalia ignored her or maybe they couldn't hear her? "Sol, please! We need to get out of here! Sol!" Lilith yells. She could feel her heart being torn to pieces as she helplessly watch her patron silently cried in pain and misery. "Sol!" Lilith shout, her usual strong voice is slowly breaking.

"I… Wonder… Will you join us… Soon?"

"Solvestress, if you could hear me please… Please answer" Lilith pleaded to the woman. Alas, her pleads fall on deaf ears. Lilith needs to help the Grimoire Regalia. Sure, she might not know much about them but she knew that they shouldn't suffer like this! This was too much. Too cruel. She continue to struggle to break free while calling out to her patron when she was abruptly pull out of the hellish nightmare by a violently shook.

Xanxus was proudly walking leisurely back to his office after spending some time with his wife doing activities that played on the bed and behind locked doors. You know what I mean. He was walking pass the hall when he caught a glimpse of his daughter napping under a tree outside of the manor. At first, Xanxus wanted to leave her be since he knew that Lilith would be pissed if he woke her up like how he would when someone interrupted his sleep. However, he stops when Lilith was thrashing around, calling out a name call Sol all the while sleeping. Xanxus deduct that she was simply having a nightmare but after seeing her un characteristically pain emotion on her face, the Varia boss know in an instant that something was very wrong with his only daughter. He wordlessly rushes outside to the sleeping girl.

"…Lilith!" Xanxus grab both of her shoulders to stop her unpredictable movements but Lilith was unconsciously fighting back. "Sol… Please!" Lilith cried. Xanxus was getting worried by the minute; Lilith wouldn't wake up. "Hey! Wake up!" The man shook her to pull her out of her slumber. It turns to worst when a few cuts form on her hands and face. Xanxus's red eyes widen as he watch the wounds suddenly appear on his daughter out of thin air. This was serious. He needs to wake Lilith up. "Damnit… Lilith! Wake up! It's just a dream!" He growl in frustration. He shook her violently but not violently as to hurt her, just sends her some shock deep into her mind. It finally work when Lilith shot her eyes widen open as she automatically arch forward while panting heavily, clutching her chest. She presses her free hand to cover half of her face trying to calm herself. But it didn't work when Lilith felt that her face was wet. She gingerly withdraws her hand from her face to examine it.

She gasped in horror as she stare her shaking hand that was coated with blood. She was slowly having a nervous breakdown that she didn't notice that Xanxus was beside her. Said man was disturbed by his daughter condition so he carefully said to her, "Calm down, Lilith" Upon hearing the man's voice, Lilith whip her head to face Xanxus. Not only was her body was shaking, her eyes too. "You're safe now…" Xanxus sooth her as softly as he could. The man slowly reaches his hand out to pat her head but Lilith was too quick for that. She immediately got up and stuttered a quick, "S-Sorry…" and ran away from him. Xanxus got up and wanted to follow her but he knew whatever the hell is going with Lilith, she won't tell him until she was good and ready. Right now, she need some time to calm herself down.

As Lilith ran, she managed to avoided people in her way. Her first ideal safe zone was her room of course. She locked the doors as soon as she was inside of the room and went straight to the bathroom to clean herself. She turns the tap furiously and splashes some cold water to her face and coughs lightly. She looks up to see her reflection on the mirror. Although some of the bloodstain had washed away, the cuts were still present. The light wounds instantly trigger the nightmare. Then, all of the sudden, both of her visions turn to pitch black. She had become blind. 'I'm so sorry… I'm so sorry… I'm so sorry… I'm so very… Sorry, Lilith' A familiar voice appears in her distorted mind thought it sounded grief stricken and in pain for the first time. "S-Sol?" Lilith said weakly. 'This was my fault… I shouldn't have left you… I never dream… That Eve would be so bold… Oh, my God… You shouldn't have seen that… You should never saw that! I'm so sorry Lilith… I'm so sorry… I'm so sorry' Sol repeatedly apologized; she was truly in utter despair at the condition of her herald. "S-Sol… What was…" Lilith hadn't had any strength left in her. 'Hush… It's going to be fine, my dear… I won't abandon you… I won't let you suffer like that… I will protect you with my life… I won't let you see something so awful again…' Sol lull to the poor shaken girl. Lilith didn't cry although she was shaken right to the core. Her frantic heartbeat decrease as she listen intently to Sol's singing:

'Shine bright morning light
Now in the air the spring is coming
Sweet blowing wind
Singing down the hills and valleys
Keep your eyes on me
Now we're on the edge of hell
Dear my love, sweet morning light
Wait for me, you've gone much farther, too far…'

Sol's singing work miraculously, Lilith finally able to calm down. Sol stops singing when Lilith was breathing very still. 'Lilith…?' Said girl sigh. "It would be lying if I say that I'm fine. I'm… Stable at the moment…" Lilith reply. She felt exhausted and weak that all she wants to do is rest. Sensing what she needed, Sol quickly possesses her body and walk out of the bathroom to lie down on the bed. She returns Lilith's vision back. Lilith so badly wanted to sleep but fear that she will return to the same nightmare. 'It's okay little macaroon… You need not fear… You will never experience something like that again… That I promise…' Sol assures her. Lilith was grateful for that but it was impossible for her eyes to close although she was really tired. Sol healed most of the cuts and tries absolutely everything to comfort the girl to sleep but Lilith couldn't. Her mind was still bleak so she couldn't reply to Sol much. Sol tries to ease her mind to make Lilith forget what she saw but the nightmare refuses to leave. Sol was in pure rage; She could not believe that Eve hurt Lilith as soon as she was away from her little macaroon! How dare her!

The herald's inner world was layered with protective flames by their patrons but to think that Eve was strong enough to breach into Lilith's throne hall? Just how powerful the Fallen Personas have grew? Sol heart clench with absolute guilt; If she hadn't stay with Dante, this would never have happen. This was all her fault! She shouldn't have left Lilith's side. As the dark queen continues to lull her herald to sleep tirelessly, she wonders about her Malign Premonition. As far as she knew, her premonition never fails on her before but why she couldn't see Eve! If it involve anything evil or sinister, she would surely sense it but why not Eve! Did she somehow block herself from her sight?

Shit, how would Lilith and the rest of the children fight them now? Sol would definitely won't send Lilith to fight Eve if she herself doesn't know how strong Eve is now but she knew that the only way to find out is to fight her. It was inevitable. Sol inwardly curses at her form. If only she could fight her counterpart instead of Lilith but that was currently impossible since she doesn't have a body like Eve! She cursed hatefully at her inability to live in this world in certain times. Eve was going to pay. She was going regret messing with Sol. She swore that she will rip her apart much more painful this time. She was going to burn her body right down to her conscious with her flames leaving nothing afterwards, not even a strand of hair of even any ashes. Screw the Grimoire Regalia, revenge is best serve hot. Even if she will fall back to the Dungeon along with Eve, if that is what it takes to make her suffer then she will gladly return to their world. Nothing matters anymore. Just Eve's head on a silver platter serve by her. Sol will avenge Lilith, her princess.

Why...? The repeating words, the collapsed promise
Echoed conspicuously and beautifully, and now, severed

Will you return to the other side of despair?
The utmost love entrusts its unblemished body to the eternal sail

If I can make my way to the other side of sorrow
Then I won't even fear the lonely slumber anymore...
