Yuki felt that she was floating in the night sky.... deja vu?
This place was similar to the outer space she used to fly around in her mecha... she felt relaxed and calm.
She felt like she had floated around for a very long period and she was getting a bit tired, but just then, she saw a beautiful planet in the faraway space... she had seen some old pictures and read a lot about this place, she had even dreamed about coming to this place once, but as the matter stood, by the time she came here, this planet became her burial grounds along with those of the Zergs...
But she felt like the planet she was watching looked a little better than the one she had seen then... it was indeed as in the description, a beautiful blue with some green patches... the night sky with trillions of stars looked paler compared to this... because this was the place she had always wanted to come, Erth.
In the next moment, she felt like she was suddenly pushed by something and the next moment, 'she' was on someone's back...?
She looked around as her eyes gained some focus.... she had a guess....
This was probably the Erth she had always wished to come, the beautiful blue planet she had read a lot about... but now, it was facing apocalypse....
She didn't know how she came here, but she had a guess, how it turned out to be like this... she was not aware of her own self, but she knew about this place... because she had read about them... this was the Erth after the nobles had left everyone behind, as for why she was sure about it, she felt like bits and pieces of memories of someone flashed inside her head....
It was indeed the history and the last stand of mankind against the zergs after they were left behind and their hope vanished... it was the untold history...
If one took an ice cube and held it towards the Sun, for a fact, it shone like a diamond... but as worse as it gets, in the end, it was only the surface, the ice was melting and corroding inside...
The Erth still looked so beautiful from the outside, but the inside was already dead...
Death covered the whole land in its embrace, as she could see, corpses everywhere they ran; the road was blocked by them while tonnes were trapped under the debris of small and large buildings, nothing remained intact... nothing...
If death had a face, it was probably what she was seeing now...
Finally, she took her face off from the surrounding area and gave the person who was carrying her forward a look...
Even though she knew it was rude, she still wanted to say it, 'this man was beautiful...'
It was not like she didn't see any other living person, but everyone she saw had dead eyes, even though they were still alive, they had given up on their lives it seems, but this man was different.
That chiselled face had a few cuts and bruises, he had lost one hand and was using a prosthetic as his right leg, but the brilliant look in his eyes charmed her, Yuki had never seen such beautiful eyes in her life, she herself as Snow Ledwig always had cold eyes and as Yuki had blank eyes, but the man's eyes were filled with light, they were living and telling their own story!
Though she felt that she was both very old and very young to do this, but her heart that had not reacted to anything for a long time, skipped a beat... it seems, she had fallen in love with those eyes and the man who had them... but alas~ she knew this was all a dream, the last thing she remembered was saving the prince with the help of the Aki and watching three adults rushing one and then she woke up here, she guessed that she had fainted from her excessive use of magic...
Still, she didn't wake up and couldn't feel her strength so, she just guessed that it was a dream and was simply going through it, as for why an apocalypse... well, even she thought that, she was a weird kid still, it was probably normal for her, rather than dreaming abouts some sheep and princess stories, this suited her better.
She simply went with the flow.
The two of them ran, ran a little more and a little more till they reached an underground area...
She was looking at everything from the point of view of a girl...?
Anyway, even though she had run a lot in the space, she didn't feel tired at all back then, and now that she was carried over, she felt that she was actually unable to feel anything at all... she guessed that it was due to the fact that this was not her physical body and well, it was a dream so, she could understand it.
But at the same time, she felt that it was as if, she was just a bystander who just happened to be seeing a movie through this girl's eyes, as if, this person was not her... she wondered why though-- but just then,
The man put her down and quickly took a look around before speaking to her, "Yuki, right? Just hang on a bit... I will go search for some food and water, you should stay here", the man's voice was rich and deep, it was very magnetic.. but she could guess that he was weary.
Yuki felt it and as a person who had always taken care of others, out of responsibility spoke, "You stay here. I'll go search for them.."
Eh? She said what she wanted to?
Suddenly, Yuki felt like, she was really living, she could finally feel the air around them, it was a violent sense of rotting death and charred and also that, she was quite exhausted, this body felt weaker than the body of Yuki---
Just then, something clicked and she had a nasty hunch...
She turned to look at the man, who was warily looking at her as he asked warily, "Who...?"
Yuki finally saw the face of the person in the glass at a distance, if she had grown old as Yuki and at the same time had silver hair as Snow, then she would probably look like this.
'Did I die again?'
