For once, it will be fast.

The dinner after the training was quick for all of you, and very silent. It was not because Shirayuki did go away after finishing Rei and Douma's training, more because the two of them, as well as you, were exhausted by the training you've gone through.

So after finishing your dinner, which you finished first, you simply wished a good night to the other girls, wish that they returned to you, before you got to the bathroom. Your bath did not take long at all this time, and really, your mind was focused on the task at hand just to not drift away, the claws of sleep pulling it inch by inch into its grasp.

Next thing you know, you were in your bed, ready to have a good night rest. The moment between the end of your bath and you going into your bed was hazy, and you weren't even sure if that happened or if your mind was playing tricks on you, which made you think in a haze that you really needed to get used to training again, as sleep ended up claiming you whole.

A little something made you wake up though, sitting up in your bed as you looked around you, the feeling that something was off making you anxious. Contrary to what you thought, it was the middle of the night, so you did fall asleep at some point, but you did not even give the slightest bit of care at that information, even less when you found out what felt off : two little sparks of energy, one purple, and one blue.

They were just there, existing in front of you, and it confused you quite a lot, so much so that you decided to get out of your bed to go up to those sparks. When you got closer, nothing more happened. Yes, you could see that they were here for something, but what ? You had no idea. Suddenly, a voice came out from the sparks, a feminine voice dripping with power, which was very impressive considering the fact that you couldn't even see her.

"So, you are the one I have heard so much about... May you not disappoint me."

You had the sudden feeling that she was a goddess, simply by listening to her saying this, but you did not say anything, your mind more set on going back to your bed than anything else, which surprisingly enough, you did, not even stopping for an instant when the voice said.

"You really are something else... Learning how this world works would only be beneficial to you, stranger."

"And another nickname..." You answered, tiredness in your voice. "Can't I just get some peace from time to time ?"

"Oh, if it is only peace that you want..." Begun the voice, before you found yourself in front of the sparks once again, but this time fully clothed. "I will show you something."

In the blink of an eye, you found yourself out of the manor, its doors closed behind you, and both sparks still in front of you. This time though, you didn't hear the voice of who you could only assume was a goddess or something along those line, while the sparks started flying off in the forest. The oddity of the situation made you sigh, yet you eventually decided to follow the sparks, quite quickly so that they would not lose you.

You were lead deep into the forest, the darkness enveloping you only being broken by the little bit of light those strange sparks emitted as they were seemingly guiding you. This made you anxious, and soon enough, your mind started imagining what could lurk in this forest at night, let's say that you didn't like that. Lucky you, nothing was lurking in there, for some reason, and you eventually found yourself in an area devoid of any trees, facing what could only be described as a ruined sanctuary of some sort.

You were able to see the sparks enter the sanctuary, and your curiosity got the better of you...
