It was a cold night.
As cold as the ocean of ice that froze above the night sky. Below it was a tower that was tall, reaching into the pitch-black sky. Standing under the blue moon like thousands of crystals carved into one, sharpened until it shines like glass that illuminates the entire barren planet. Beneath it was like a desert surrounded by red rocks. The plants around the place were dry, withered, dead. There are several housing estates that are visible, some of them look like relics from the past.
In essence, all die.
Except for one.
The tower itself.
"Princess?" A man called out to a beautiful girl who was pale in front of him. He addressed her formally, indicating the degree/status of the man. "Princess? Are you all right." The man called once more. Surprised the girl, but she wasn't too surprised. All of that was casual for her, 'Princess.' That is the degree of the Girl. "I'm fine. Uncle Rahma." The girl replied, her voice sounding sad. She pursed her lips, then looked at the Moon again. "Today. I had a strange dream..." She said. "What kind of dream, Princess?" The man named Rahma, asked with a serious expression. "Tsuki-Kiyomi. Disappeared from the sky. Then someone—" The girl tried to tell him about her dream, but Rahma cut her off. "It was just a dream." Rahma said. "There's no need to think about it, Princess." He tried to avoid what he heard. "That... must be just a dream." Otsuna gave that suggestion to herself. It was all just a dream, she thought.
On the other hand, Rahma is hiding something. Most likely something serious. Is it!? He wasn't so sure about the thoughts that were wrestling in the man's head. His lips dry, and his throat feels thirsty, he swallows the tasteless saliva, then stands up from under the floor. Rahma closed the door of the princess's room slowly. The moment he slid the front door—.
The girl turned to him.
Her hair is very white, long, clenched into one. Her face, without a doubt, could intoxicate any man who saw her at a glance. Her body was covered in a black kimono with a rose pattern, purple-violet color. "Wait Uncle Rahma." The girl sighed. The reflection of the moonlight illuminate her. Princess Otsuna stood in the middle of the room and said. "I... have one request." She said.
Rahma just guessed, this request must be what Goddes Sakuya said. He himself was unsure. Rahma raised his face to look at the Princess. "What's that request?" He asked the Princess.
"I want to get out of the Tower." Said the princess with that look in her eyes, without any doubt. His request in an instant made Rahma fall to silent.
The man was no ordinary person.
He was a higher-up from an esteemed Clan. A clan that gives life to the planet they live in. They, dancing to give it life. The flow of chakra throughout the entire planet like a spring from a river. From that Clan also flowers and trees grew very sweetly. Following the rhythm of the Queen, uniting them in the moonlight they created centuries ago.
Tsuki-Kiyomi is the name of that Moon.
The great clan had a name carved from the Flame of life.
Kotomatsu Clan.
"..."
Rahma is still confused to answer. "Uncle..." Princess Otsuna gave him that look again. Her eyes were watery, her expression wrinkled, showing how sad she was. Otsuna hopes that Rahma will be able to grant the request. And he, most likely the only person within the Tower who possessed peerless strength. The man was still in the same position, holding the door with both hands. He had not answered Princess Otsuna yet.
Rahma recalls the dark tragedy again, but he decides not to run away anymore. Rahma sighed, then finally answered. "Fine if that's your wish. Princess." Rahma reply. His reply made the Princess very happy, she turned out of the window, praying to Tsuki-Kiyomi. "Mother I beg your protection." Princess prayed with a radiant face. Make Rahma happy with the expression that the Princess shows. He only gave a definite, very uncertain answer. He closed the Princess's door, took a deep breath, then let it out. It was like, the first thing he wanted to do before ending his life, or starting it, Rahma wasn't so sure. The man stood up and continued walking through the dark corridors that lit up with objects named,
Hinotama,
The shape is round, small, bright like flying stars. Surrounds every corridor that is more than 20 meters wide.
"Rahmanaya!" A girl called him. Rahma stopped when he heard a voice calling him. He saw a girl, they both stared at each other for about half a minute. "Mai." Rahma said. They were both from the same Clan, and the clothes they wore looked similar. "The end may be coming soon." Rahma said doubtfully. "The end!!" Mai was very surprised to hear the word 'End.' Rahma again walked past Mai who was full of sweat, a word that was more suitable to describe the girl's condition: bathing in sweat. That girl's heart was shaking, her heartbeat was beating like a door being knocked on repeatedly. Rahma himself hesitated about what he had just said, but he was not someone who doubted easily. Rahma paused for a while, settling his mind down. "Sakuya-sama." Rahma mumbled.
"Hhhh..." Mai sighed, thinking hard about what might happen. Kotomatsu Mai, and Kotomatsu Rahmanaya are the right and left hands of the Princess.
Otsutsuki Otsuna.
It could be said that the two of them were the guardians of Princess Otsuna herself. "Na... na, na..." Princess Otsuna sang to the Moon above her. Truth be told, she was trying to cheer herself up. The Princess was contemplating what was to come, or what might happen if she exited the Tower.
And all that,
Reflecting doubt on her beautiful face.
GHHGK!
The princess bit her jaw. Trying to strengthen her mental state, which is still in a state of swing.
At that time Rahma was walking.
Then in an instant,
He suddenly stopped, "Kirana!?" Rahma was surprised, he glanced at someone sharply. "What are you doing inside the Tower!? Why did you come all of a sudden!" He raised his voice, signaling the white woman in front of him to speak immediately. If the reason is right, then he will ignore it. But if the reason was the same as what he was thinking, then—.
"I have come. To stop whatever you are thinking... Rahmanaya." The woman replied politely. But behind those words, lies a dagger that can slash her enemies. She gave Rahma a reason, and the reason for that, was very clear! Rahma stepped forward. "Kirana. You'd better get out of this Tower." He opened the sturdy stance. Kirana took a step forward, "Hehehe, hahaha..." The woman laughed out loud hearing that.
Then,
DUUUAAAARRR!!
Mai heard an explosion sound from inside the Tower, and immediately ran towards Princess Otsuna's room. "Princess!?" Mai called her princess many times. And, finally her voice reached Princess Otsuna in the darkness. "What's wrong?? What happened? Mai." Princess Otsuna asked. "No time to explain!" Mai replied. That girl pulled Princess Otsuna out of her room in a hurry.
When that happens,
Rahma appeared behind them.
"Get in here!!" Rahma said. The two girls turned around, seeing a Portal that looked like a door, opened before their eyes. Mai pulled Otsuna, as fast as possible but the girl just pushed her princess towards the portal. Otsuna was taken aback, she didn't even have time to say anything to both of her guardians. "I'm so sorry princess." Mai said. Those few words brought the princess to tears. Before she can enter the Portal. "My princess!!" Shouted the woman named Kirana behind them. Something like cloth shot up, holding down Princess Otsuna's kimono, but whatever it was, it suddenly revert from where it came from.
"Mai! Uncle—!!"
