"Silver Star!" Dainsleif smiled, walking up to you.

You were both standing behind the curtain, in front of it was a whole audience waiting for your speech as some dressed in black, paparazzi being just a bit mindful for the current occasion as they all mourned Black Star.

"You ready?" He breathed out, and he meant the question in both ways.

He didn't see your smile, but he knew you were smiling brightly up at him with a mischievous glint in your eyes. "I am."

He extended an arm out towards the curtain with a wink. "It's your time to shine."

You nodded, letting out a shaky exhale as you walked towards the curtain and braced yourself as the camera people started to click pictures, bright lights making you squint as people started to cheer for their hero.

You walked up to the podium while waving to the citizens of Sumeru. There was probably a thousand and more people here and thousands of others watching on television. No one wanted to miss anything about their beloved hero's.

You tapped the microphone gently, a small bit of feedback going around that signalled for people to quiet down and for the cameras to stop clicking.

Once it quieted down, you let out another sigh.

"Good afternoon city of Sumeru."

"That's the signal." Dainsleif whispered, fingers on his earpiece.

You continued. "2 years ago, Sumeru faced a devastating day; We lost the true hero's of Sumeru. As much as Black Star and I have done an amazing job, we can never compare to what the 7 paragons made of Sumeru. Sadly, it seems destiny is bound to repeat itself, as we have lost yet another hero of this city; My dear partner, and best friend, Black Star."

It was now fully silence, no more whispers or anything as people bowed down their heads in mourning, and it seemed like a wave of sadness washed over the thousands of people there.

"Black Star and I have been protecting this city for almost 2 years now, and I speak for the both of us when I say it has been an honour to be the protectors of this city. I will continue on, for all of you, and for Black Star. But enough about me, I would like to talk about Black Star today."

The hundreds of heads now raised.

"Black Star is amazing. He always knew how to make me laughs on the nights we'd spend together, he always protected everyone even if it meant the worse would happen to him. I think, instead of me, he should be considered just as great as the 7 hero's, because he reminded me of all of them; He was kind, caring, outgoing, protective- everything a hero should be. He sets the standards- if not higher- for a paragon of virtue and glory."

You paused.

"And he continues to be a paragon of virtue and glory."

People started to speak, murmuring in confusion at your words as paparazzi and news reporter started to ask questions but you only ignored them.

"Because Black Star is alive, and so are the rest of the hero's."

"Nilou, I need you to do a large favour for me!"

"I'll switch the knowledge capsules; I have access to his office."

"Sir, there seems to be a disturbance in the Akademiya. Something about...dancing?"
