P.O.V. Himeko


After a few weeks o being hospitalized, I was discharged from the hospital and I could finally help searching for Kiana and Diana. Unfortunately we couldn't find any clues that cloud help us find them.

...

Finally after more then 3 months from my discharge, we got word of Kiana's location. She was seen in Arc City. After going through a lot of trouble, Mei finally found and met Kiana. She tried to bring her back, but Kiana refused since she was trying to stop World Serpent's experiment. She was captured by Schicksal in the end.

...

About a week after she was captured, Kiana managed to escape Schicksal when the World Serpent invaded their base. A few days later, Mei found Kiana in critical condition due to Honkai corruption. On Helios, Kiana's condition was stabilized, but Tesla couldn't help her condition more then she already did. She gave Kiana two months.

...

A few days later, Mei awakened as the third Herrscher and left to join the World Serpent. I don't know the details, but it seems that they offered something to her in exchange for her joining the World Serpent. After she left, Kiana's condition improved drastically.

...

More then a week later, a Honkai eruption happened in Island City. The eruption gave birth to two Herrschers. The Herrscher of Ice and The Herrscher of Stars. Schicksal in collaboration with the World Serpent dealt with the eruption before we needed to make our move.

Present

Today, we detected a concentration of Honkai energy in Nagazora City. The Honkai energy reading can only mean one thing... a Honkai eruption and possibly the birth of another Herrscher. We boarded Hyperion and went to Nagazora. We arrived in about two hours, but we weren't ready for what we saw.

The state of Nagazora was a lot worse then the last time we saw it. The sight could be described only by a single word... chaos.

"...Einstein, what did you found about this." I asked as I looked over this horrifying scene.

"Our sensors detect residual Herrscher signature in the Honkai readings. The thing that did this, left a long time ago." Einstein said through the comms.

"That's not all. The Herrscher signature doesn't match any Herrscher we met until now. But we can only find one signature, meaning that this was caused by a single entity... Just what kind of monster has the Honkai created this time. We already have our hands full with the 'normal' monsters..." Tesla drifted off.

"It doesn't matter at the moment. What matters now is that we need to find it. The longer it takes for us to find it, the stronger it would become. If we take too long, it might become too much for us." Theresa walked besides me and looked at the scenery.

"In that case, what would we do once we found it. Without much information on it, it would be too risky to try and fight it." I pointed out.

"That's why I said that we need to find it. Once we found the Herrscher, we'll try to observe and collect information. If the Herrscher will prove itself dangerous to humanity, we'll have no choice but to fight it." Theresa said. I nodded, but looking at the 'city' I doubt that we'll end up winning.

Timeskip

It's been almost two weeks since the last eruption in Nagazora. In the end, we couldn't find the Herrscher that caused that eruption and it didn't cause any other problems either. It was quite.
