Morganna and I were standing in an Outer Dungeon. In front of us, a girl and boy stood together, moving through the dungeon.
"Sakaki, what is this place? I'm scared." A girl whispered.
Sakaki began to laugh and put his arm around the girl.
"Don't worry, everything will be just fine."
At that moment, the screen inverted again. The girl screamed and fell to the ground as a shadow manifested itself around her.
"Masquerade!"
Morganna's hand fell.
"In the abyss of outer space,
The girl has vanished without a trace.
There the boy mourns,and from their happiness, the sacrifice is torn.
"Why are you telling me this?"
She disappeared without an answer, her eyes flickering. For a moment, I thought I saw something flicker behind her, like a wing, but before I could look closer the area returned to normal.
"Hey, I didn't say anything like that..." Kuhn whispered as I told him about Morganna.
"Yeah, whatever. Do you know where Atoli is?" I asked.
"Noooo, why?" He looked at me.
"The match is going to start soon, and she isn't answering her shortmails." I paced a little bit.
"I'm sure it's nothing to worry about. Don't panic, okay?"
"Yeah, okay." I nodded.
A sudden thought occured to me. Was what Kuhn, or whoever it was, said true?
"Kaden!" Aina cried as she pushed her way through the crowds surronding the arena.
"What?"
"It's Pi and Atoli... I just checked the matchups!"
"What about them?" I stared at her.
"You're fighting them in the next match!" She told me.
"What? How is that possible?!"
"I don't know. What's worse is that Saku's gone missing!"
"Missing!" I hissed through my teeth.
"Do you mean our Saku, or the one in the real world?" I asked
Kuhn was silent.
"Do you know what Saku is?" He finally whispered.
"A PC...?"
"She was Bo's dual personality... If she's gone missing then..."
"No..."
Bo was standing behind me.
"It's this virus that's going around... It made Saku real..."
"Is that? Is that even possible?" I whispered lowly.
"Anything is lately. So, who's going to enter the tournament with me then?"
"I can't." Bo said sadly. "I have to go find Saku."
"Two open slots..."
"I'll fight."
I turned slowly, not recognizing the voice.
"Zelkova, what is this place?" Matsu asked as Zelkova orbbed him in.
"This is where Ovan's sister slept... for almost a year."
Books littered the floor, and a crack leading to the web was visible in the center. Zelkova moved toward it and put his hand in.
"This is the last remaining written piece of The Prophecy." He murmered to himself. Zelkova handed the piece to him. Matsu grabbed it and read.
"Six chains bind her victims
six chains hold them tight.
Six chains mark the sacrifice,
six chains hold their light.The first chain is Ha8
Passionate, hard and true.
Ha8 is the fire that drives us,
Ha8 is buryed in me and you.
The second chain is Freude,
Beautiful, forgiving and Warm.
Freude is the only thing holding us together,
as the dark begins to swarm.
The Third Chain is Sorge.
Solemn, Dark and Cold.
Sorge is the thing that holds us back,
as our enemies begin to fold.
The fourth chain is Wunsch,
forever ours, guiding and bright.
Wunsch is thing that keeps our eyes on our path,
as darkness covers everything that is right.
The fifth chain is Verzweiflung,
mourning, sobbing and creeping across our souls.
It is the thing that everyone feels
as we all pay our tolls.
The sixth chain is Liebe.
No words can describe how it feels.
It will light your path when all else fails,
and fight on as everyone kneels.
Hate, Joy, Sadness, Hope, Despair and Love
drive us into our generation. The generation of Unity."
"Hate, Joy, Sadness, Hope, Despair and Love." Zelkova repeated.
"Liebe is..."
"Liebe is love."
