The translucent mirror, the record of the struggle between memories of love and ashes of the past.
The gaze that came from inside the mirror was dazzled by everything in front of him. First the image of the fusion between him and his sister, along with the lady with long blond hair and green nails, and the second of the knight in heavy armor. His vision was truly dazzled by the serpent that trapped his body, leaving only his naked eyes.
— After a long time we met, didn't we, young mamoru?
— I don't want to talk to you, Tiresias. I'm still angry about what happened a year ago.
The young man remained coiled, the serpent's body covering him. Even his breathing was controlled by the snake, which contracted and squeezed him when its exterior stirred.
The snake was not just any snake, it was the one that when it ran through the young man's body, made him have more and more flashes about his sister, it was the chain that still binds his sister's soul to him, it was the rope that pulled him, making his sister see who she loved.
— Why didn't it work? — The young woman, now connected to the snake, found herself lifted by the large spear, the tip impaling her, and she felt like she was being pulled by hands.
"When a king leaves his kingdom, he takes nothing with him, but leaves everything to his queen, as well as his crown and his loyal subjects. Child, don't compare me to your priest; I am on a much higher level than you."
The queen's shadows were like a soup, a mixture of body parts and darkness like water. It was her way of defending herself from any attack. It was like the storm of the waters, like the rivers of the underworld that carry souls in droves.
Like a serpent, the young woman tried to escape, to crawl through the darkness, but unlike a forest where a serpent ventures, the young woman was lost in the sea of monsters. No matter how much she struck, the darkness became hands that held her down, legs that kicked her, bodies became darkness that suffocated her.
— DAMN IT! DO SOMETHING TIRESIAS! HELP THEM!
"By helping, do you mean freeing you? You're still angry with me for what happened, but even now you ask me to repeat the past? Your words are more enigmatic than the message of the gods!"
—SHUT UP CELESTE! CAN YOU DO SOMETHING TO HELP THEM?
"Wow, what a lack of faith in your sister and your partner. You know if Shizuko wants to, she can do anything, like now!"
The darkness was filled with a feast of lights, accompanied by the loud sound of sirens. The place was bathed in red as the shadows dissolved. From above came a voice: THE GIANTS HAVE ESCAPED, I REPEAT, THE GIANTS HAVE ESCAPED. THE ONE IN CHARGE OF THEIR CONTAINMENT IS GOING TO THE SOUTH WING.
"It's really bad for a king to leave his people in the hands of a queen who doesn't even care for her subjects, you know? Compared to your favorite toys, we're nothing. Get out of here!"
— YOU JUST TOOK MY ATTENTION! BUT WHO HELPED YOU FREE THE GIANTS? I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS! BUT NEXT TIME, I'LL PLAY WITH YOU UNTIL YOU BREAK! — The woman disappeared into the shadows.
It was like a rebirth, little by little the clothes disappearing, and the two of them no longer being connected, unchaining themselves from their bodies and their memories, but not from their feelings.
— That's why when I get back, I'm going to marry you!
The hair, the tones of night, along with those of dawn, tangled together, while the breath of one was taken by the other, the heat that passed between their mouths, together with words that resembled a spell, and the friction between the bodies of both, were like clothes being taken off for the bath.
"That's the signal! Bye, kid! You should trust your carrier more; she's smarter than she looks, and this isn't about having two brothers in your hands to do whatever you want with them, whatever you want! Bye, kid!"
The bodies separate from the battlefield's view, causing their bodies to return to their own, along with their details, their hair, their body shape, and their consciousness.
"Hey Mamoru! Let's get out of here fast, we need to get ready! I owe that giant one! We need to find out where he is, it's part of the deal! So, get up!"
