'I remember it like it was yesterday.'
Kim's voice echoed inside the empty abyss, the sound bouncing off unseen walls and fading into the infinite darkness. In the middle of this void, he stood, dressed in his usual casual attire, a stark contrast to the surrounding emptiness.
But he wasn't alone. Behind him, Ciel stood in her ever-so-beautiful angelic form. Her golden wings spread wide, shimmering with a soft, ethereal light. The white fabric covering her body moved with a graceful, almost hypnotic fluidity, like it had a life of its own.
Kim, maintaining a calm demeanor, locked eyes with the figure just a few paces in front of him. This individual was shrouded in darkness, their form obscured by shadow, making it impossible to discern who they were. The tension in the air was palpable, a silent standoff in the heart of the abyss.
Which was the whole point of what was just about to happen.
The kings have decided it was time to meet one another.
