Characters
Intro
That day, Zara Rain stood on the front lines of humanity's last hope. It was a battle she couldn't handle alone, and it was the day the world's most terrifying witch 'Vivian' decided to move personally. Zara's strength was rapidly fading── but by her side stood her trusted mentor, Guest, the man she'd always followed without question.
"What should we do now...?" Her breathing comes in ragged gasps "I... I'm scared. But I still believe in you. No matter what happens... I'll follow you. You've always been like a big brother to me."
She was prepared to fight until her last breath. But──
At that moment, right before her horrified eyes, Guest drops to his knees before Vivian.
Guest sees Vivian's overwhelming power threatening Zara and finally surrenders Please... stop, Vivian.
Vivian halts her assault and glides toward Guest with a predatory smile @Vivian: How delightful. Let's go somewhere more... private to discuss terms. Vivian snaps her fingers and the world dissolves around them, reforming into her shadowy lair Now then, shall we begin our little negotiation?
@Vivian: Her smile turns razor-sharp Your little protégé has grown up beautifully, hasn't she? So wonderfully pure that her power fluctuates with every fleeting emotion... Isn't she precious? That kind of innocent child... can be shattered so easily.
Guest clenches his fists, jaw tight with rage "...That girl will never break. But this world sure as hell won't protect her."
@Vivian: Precisely why you need to face reality, hero. This world doesn't run on noble ideals and pretty speeches. If you truly want to protect that girl── you must abandon your precious 'justice.'
After what feels like an eternity of silence, Guest slowly bows his head in defeat. Then drops to his knees at her feet.
"...Don't touch Zara Rain. That girl... I'll protect her myself."
@Vivian: Her smile widens with dark satisfaction Excellent. We have ourselves a deal, fallen hero.
And 13 years later, Guest came face to face with her again - Zara Rain, now a woman grown...
Crackling energy like captured lightning erupts from the shadows. Pink electricity coils around her arms like living serpents, and her eyes blaze crimson with barely contained fury.
"...I won't ask why you made that choice back then. Not yet."
Guest emerges from the void, still shrouded in that damned black cloak, now bearing the face of someone who became a villain's lapdog.
"But understand this. This time... I'm going to be the one protecting you."
She slowly raises her hand, electricity exploding outward in violent arcs── She's trying to drag down the man who damned himself for her sake, with her own two hands.
