Chapter 2: Kamado Troubles

(Rimuru POV)

Where am I?

Everything's black.

Did the Dimension Hop fail?

What is this place?

It's quiet.

I can't see anything.

My thoughts, they're loud, they're so loud.

Ciel? Where are you? Ciel?

CIEL ANSWER ME, PLEASE!

(Tanjiro POV)

'Today really is a beautiful day.' I said as I smiled up to see the sun shining bright and birds flying freely. I had just finished successfully selling all the charcoal that we had harvested this season. I managed to make a fair bit off it

'At least we'll be able to eat our fill for the next few months.' I thought as I walked over to the river and started washing my face.

'When I get home, what should I do?' I pondered for a second while walking home. 'Well, Takeo and Shigeru were probably playing, I could join them to make their games more fun. Or I could talk with Hanako and we can eat snacks and talk about the future. Nezuko, I could also talk about the future with her, I wonder what she wants to be when she grows up...' I was so deep in thought that I tripped over a branch.

"Owie." I said while pulling myself up, but when I pulled myself up, when I looked up, what I saw shocked.

A blue haired girl wearing strange clothing lying down on the snow.

(Rimuru POV)

Sitting in the empty expanse with nothing to keep me company but my own thoughts was one of the most terrifying experiences I've ever encountered.

I wanted to go back.

I wanted to go back to Tempest where I could laugh and talk with my friends and we could talk about the future.

That's what I wanted to do.

The suddenly, for the first time in what seemed like ages...

I saw a light.

I quickly pulled myself towards that light, not wanting it to leave.

It started to move away and I had to move faster.

No matter how fast I ran, it would just seem to get farther and farther...

I had to reach it.

That light then turned into a voice.

"Hey, are you alright? Hey, wake up, please!"

I swallowed my saliva, as I finally took one giant leap and managed to reach the light.

I woke up with a start.
