Azur Lane: The Black Admirals

11. Entity From Another Dimension

Along the gentle currents of the ocean, the ship continues to sail. Wolfgang and the rest of the Black Admirals discuss plans for the next raid, while their master continues his recovery following the absorption of the white cube. Nobody wants to talk about it, but there is something troubling them...

It happened right after the defeat of the Iron Blood and the Northern Parliament...

Leonard descended near their ship, but it was different... his appearance and voice were identical, but the look and the internal energy he emanated were completely different from what they knew.

Then...

"Let's continue our journey my children!"

Everyone froze, because they were never called like that by their master. Although the person was the same, it seemed to be facing another entity.

Wolfgang keeps thinking about this and his concern is only for his master's good health, at least as long as his body will hold up.

Leonard remains lying on his bed, intent on resting, recovering as much energy as possible for the next fight. The demonstration given to her opponents in the last fight demanded a lot from her body, even just staying awake is a great effort for him, but she still can't afford to fall asleep, not before meeting him...

Suddenly, a gust of wind enters the window catching the boy's attention.

"You arrived!"

A hooded figure locks the door to prevent intruders.

"You know me..."

Leonard smiles with how much strength he had in his body.

"Memories are fuzzy... But I would never forget a brother's face"

The figure doesn't answer, leaves the door and approaches the bed.

"How much have you recovered?"

"My heart is still incomplete, but my ideas are clearer than before"

The stranger turns his attention to the nearby voices of Leonard's companions' intent on discussing what to do in the next room.

"What about them?"

Leonard's gaze loses his smile and then turns his gaze to the door, as if he could see beyond the walls of his room, his friends talking to decide future plans.

"They will follow me, whichever path I choose to walk"

The stranger's eyes show no sign of approval for what he has just heard.

"If you prefer, I can free you from this burden!"

The temperature in the room drops dramatically. The foreigner immediately understands that he has committed a misstep, Leonard fixes all his hostility against his guest without saying a word.

"There's no need to get angry like that, it was enough to say no" the stranger says raising his hands.

Someone suddenly knocks on the door.

"Leonard, are you awake?" Eleonora must have sensed something to come and check.

The mysterious individual is ready to leave by now.

"We'll see again?" he asks with a serious expression.

"The future is a strange creature, I can't tell you what it has in store for us from now on..."

He doesn't seem convinced by her answer, but he doesn't have time to ascertain what those words mean.

"If I felt your presence, others might have too..." he says seriously "The Guardian of Eternal Rest, our brother, always watches the unfolding of this world"
