" So, what now? "
After the explanations. Rin and the others are in a somewhat dead end. As they have no idea on what to do next. Same goes for Rin as the 'system' have been silent for the rest of the day. She has been in suspicion of it but payed no mind to it. Now though, the situation has change.
" I'm not really sure "
Rin responded with a thoughtful expression.
Shiro and Shina looked at each other. Both giving a secret message through their eyes.
Their thinking were interrupted by Elena. Startling the three and look at her in confusion. Why would she barge in like that? Is what the three thought.
" Huff - huff, we have- huff- a problem "
She says between her breaths. The three can tell that she had ran all this way. Making the three alert.
Rin looked at her with an unreadable face. She stood up and went outside followed by the three.
Outside. There on the field. A swirling purple shaped oval is presenting itself to Rin and her companions.
" A portal? "
Rin mutters while inspecting it closely. Not expecting the portal to directly eat her. Wide eyes looked back but found nothing but darkness. She can hear her friends shouts but they were muffled by something.
Rin decided to walk but stopped when she found out that she has not touch the ground since the portal 'ate' her.
Floating her way to who knows where. The place was just utter darkness. No light can be seen. Rin frowned upon realising the situation. She needed to figure the way out and why the portal only took her. Minutes passed. Hours, days. Rin did not know how long she have been inside. She also did not know if time flowed the same from the outside. Her eyes widen on the thought as panic arose from her.
What if I'm stuck here forever?
What if a long time had passed out there?
She promised her friends that she would help them. But she can't do it if she's stuck
Rin thoughts were getting out of control until a distant voice was heard. At first it was faint, then it became louder the longerit called out.
{ Rin }
" What the- who's there?! "
Startled Rin shouted while looking around frantically.
{ Rin, it is alright. Do not be afraid for you are safe here }
" Safe? safe from what? wait- what about my friends?! Are they safe too?! "
Rin shouted in desperation. Her mind was becoming more crazy the longer she stays in the darkness. Unknown to her, she had already been there for so, so long.
Rin for some reason felt the voice smile. How did she know thar? There was only a voice but not a face. So how? She thought.
The voice once again spoke;
{ Safe from the destruction that happened and yes your friends are safe too. Though I had to take precaution. }
" What do you mean destruction? And from where? "
Rin asked after calming her down.
{ The destruction caused by humans themselves in your once planet called earth. }
" So the one who destroyed it was us in the end "
{ Not quite. You are different from from those humans, same goes to your friends }
" Wait- wait! Are you saying that I'm not human anymore? "
Rin asked in shock. Hell she was happy she did not become an undead. But not human anymore?! That is something to really worry about.
As if reading Rin's thoughts. The voice spoke again;
{ Do not worry child. You may not be human anymore but you are still you. }
Rin sighs in relief on what she heard. But she caught something that confused her to the max.
" Wha- what do you me-mean by ch-child? "
She asked shakily. She did not want to be a kid to some voice in the dark! That would be too much for her to comprehend.
{ After you got sent to the void and spent almost your entire if not more lifespan you basically became it's child. Since no one has been able to stay sane this long. Especially in darkness. One would simply go crazy }
Rin stood there baffled at what she heard. She got ate by the portal looking thingy. Got stuck in the darkness for apperantly all her life. Became it's child cause she was the first to stay sane for so long. And she's also not human anymore.
Rin got a headache at the events. Groaning she sat down on the ground?
Rin stood up as fast as she sat down. Looked at the ground beneath her in shock.
Why is there a ground?
Since when was it there?
The last time she was floating- now that she thinks about. Ever since she heard the voice she has been-!!!
Wide eyes, mouth agape. Rin did not know what to think on what just happened. This of course only made proof on what the voice said.
Rin heard chuckling again. She sat down, defeated and asked the voice;
" So what do I do now? "
{ You train }
" Train? "
{ Yes train. You need to at least control your new powers. }
" New powers huh "
Rin muttered as she slumped down to the ground.
Sigh. Guess I don't have any other choice. It's not like I have something else to do here and besides I might be able to get out of here and find the others. Alright, it's decided!
She thought. Determination flowed through her.
The voice was amused. At first he was shocked to see a human on his domain. He thought that she, the same as the rest, would simply go crazy and disappears. But he thought wrong. Not only the human did not go crazy, she even lasted for a millions of decades and! also became the void itself. He was shocked. His own domain listened to the girl instead of him. This of course made him mad. As he was about to trick her in oblivion, he stopped as he found the girl interesting. Her way of thinking was different from those before her. She was in between. So he decided to train her after some thoughts. With some guidance she won't fall to either sides. Though he doubt he would need to do that. Since she would do it herself and she is conscious about it.
Little did he know. He is about to create something history has not heard nor seen of.
