Where am I...?
I felt so, weak...
I'm..., afraid...
I did not know what was going on, but...
This feeling, the feeling of emptiness...
Yes, it happened again, I entered again the state where I can move anymore like after the System Install.
Okay then, can I speak...
" Ahhh... " Oh, I can speak.
Okay then, can I open my eyes?
As I opened it, instead of the light flashing toward me, I found myself in a Black Realm that looks familiar, like.
" You're awake, took you long enough. " a voice says to me as I look at her.
" Wait, a minute... "
" You're... " I said to her.
" It's me, the Spirit of Dainsleif, remember... " Dainsleif says as her Spirit form approaches me, seeing me with her eyes, gazing at me as if she sees something great within me.
" Oh, that 'thing' you have is quite cute, it seems it doesn't grow yet like the one you called 'Ragna 69' have, isn't it? " Dainsleif as she winks at me*.
" What are you, huh!? " I screamed, seeing myself naked for whatever reason.
" Goddamn you! Dainsleif! " I said as I rotate myself against her, backing her.
As I backed her, I cover the revealed 'thing' from her as I was getting irritated for whatever reason while the a**hole Spirit seems to enjoy seeing it, as if was such a magnificent thing to be enjoyed.
" Oh, are you backing me now, Ragna...? " Dainsleif asks me.
" Why are you so shy? don't be shy, show me... " she wants it, probably because of what 69 did to her back when I first met her, in order to 'tame' her at the time, during the Aether Meditation back then.
" NO, don't ever tell me to pay what my other Selves did! "
" NEVER. " I shouted at her while touching my 'thing' for I'm very in my sensitive emotions right now.
Seeing me, Dainsleif then decides to use Aether's Black Shadow to cover my body up, giving me some black clothes and pants from the Black Shadows to ease my feeling more.
" You seem to hate it, didn't you? " Dainsleif asks.
" Hate what, pardon? " I ask her with confusion, as I wear the suits made from 100% pure shadows.
"( I never thought that the Shadow ability could make such durable clothes, despite shadows being technically easily to dispersed like water. )"
" Thanks... " I thanked the Spirit for the help, never thought that I will have a Sword Spirit who will talk with me in my mind or sort, seeing this, I feel like I'm finally re-experiencing again what those Shinigami does in with their Zanpakutos, many think that those are fiction, but to me, it was quite real since it finally happened again to me, for the second time.
" Am I going to get some transformation, like Bankai perhaps? " I said as I speculate what will I do next, will eye trained for two days, fighting those Black Shadow Summons thing that Dainsleif summoned in this place back then in order for me to wake, or...
" Dainsleif what are we doing here, right now? " I asks her Dainsleif then said that we will only just talk to each other, no battle needed.
" No battle needed, you didn't want to test me or something...? "
" Why should I? I'm already yours after that meditation you did, remember? "
" After you 'tame' me, I'm obliged to serve you... "
" Really? "
" But before that, I just want to ask you, how did I end up here, again? " I ask her in confusion since I remember clearly that I wasn't using the
As I ask that, Dainsleif begins to smirk as she seems to be quite giggled after hearing my question which she then responds by showing the power of Aether, increasing her aura.
" Hey, why are you using the Aether here!? " I ask her in anger, I thought she wants to fight me at this moment.
" Really master, don't you get it... "
" It's the Aether who make us here. " Dainsleif tells me.
" Huh? seriously? the Aether? "
" Of course, master... "
" Don't you realize that your Aether is the very thing that summons you to me in the first place? " Dainsleif explains, explaining the story of how I summon myself here.
"( I'm the one who did this? really? )" I ask myself, never knowing that I still have more surprises than meets the eye.
Seriously how many references I just said?
Well, let's continue...
" So it seems the Aether connects both you and me somehow, huh? " I ask Dainsleif about this, knowing how absurd the Aether power system is, just like the 'Force' in 'Star Wars', when I delve deeper into the lore, by joining the fan club, I learned how it surrounds, binds, and connects everything in its universe.
Seriously another reference again, shit, guess my life gets more fictional every time.
It seems my logic and knowledge will no longer be enough in the future, since like both Twelve and 69 said at some time before entering this Tower.
' What we knew in the past and what we know right now won't be enough to face the truth and the future. '
As I remember those words, I began to ask Dainsleif many things about what happens now and some sort of the things needed to know by me as I tell her that I can't stay here for long.
" Of course, you won't, why would you stay here, while the others deal with the Yakan Curse who's already getting released from you? " Dainsleif asks, showing the situation outside this Mind Realm I think we're in.
" I see, so it seems this is the moment, the moment where I should also intervene. " I said to myself after seeing the situation outside from Dainsleif's mind.
" Dainsleif! "
" Is there a way for me to be conscious again!? " I ask her, for I want to help Battle Maiden on getting rid of the Yakan Curse, once and for all.
" There's a way, but first there are some things that needed to be considered before we start. " Dainsleif says while approaching my ear, whispering the need to be fulfilled first.

There was a line where about Ragna 69 'taming' the Dainsleif Spirit while possessing Ragna (MC), transforming Ragna (MC)s body into his, and doing 'it' with the Dainsleif Spirit, making her servant at last.
