The Tournament to Stop The Apocalypse, A Hololive Fan Story

Ascension

Reine shivers as she begins to notice something.. else, besides the loss of her godhood, and Ollie smirks. "Took you long enough.." she says as Reine stares wide eyed, in her vision she sees Ollie's twisted grin, fade to a distant memory of a young and happily smiling red haired girl named, Pavolia Olivia.

"What is she surprised about..? Is it that she just realized the arrow took her godhood?" Fauna asks, "no, she knew it the moment she was kicked away... she's reacting to something else.." Omega explains, "is Ollie up to something deeper than that!? Is that even possible..?" Laplus asks surprisingly a tinge worried. "I don't blame you.. There is a bit of a need for worry in this situation... to think a mortal much less a human could have created a spell capable of removing godhood from a god is... not a comforting thought..." Sana adds, "we have to trust Reine to destroy that arrow, whether she gets her godhood back from it or not!" Baelz shouts with clenched fists, Omega doesn't appear to be as optimistic.

Back in the arena thoughts of her past continue to flood back to her as Reine shivers even further, staring at Ollie not with fear but despair. "H-How are you-" she's cut off by Ollie, "Don't even ask that question, think of it yourself, Reine, I won't be the one to give you comfort anymore.." Ollie says without a smiles. "I-I thought you-" Reine stops herself, "Olivia.. stop this and join me instead, I am the Queen of the Pavolia family, I can make a spot for you we can reign together.. like we wanted to" Reine pleas, with a bit of ache in her voice, "Reine, you should know that won't work. You've cursed me to this agonizing hell that is lower than mortality... I can't die, but I can't live..!" Ollie shouts raising her blade to her forearm before slicing it down her arm, "I don't bleed, I don't even feel this... instead.. I don't feel anything... it's cold... nothing but a cold feeling, it's as if I'm a doll held together only by some mere stitches like some kind of monster! And I'm done..." she pulls the arrow that sapped Reine of her godhood out, "I'll use this arrow to claim the godhood you took from me.. but only after I kill you. And then, this eternal night I've been living will end, I'll finally feel the sunlight again! Then when I cement my place on the throne, I'll finally have what I dedicated my living life to, THE LIFE YOU YOOK AWAY FROM ME!"

Long ago, during the medieval era, stood a sizeable town called Merakyat. Belonging to no kingdom, a large family owned mansion governed a the town of mages and sorcerers, with its most prominent feature being a large castle looking structure which was known as the Academy of Ashens. The Academy of Ashens was established 432 years prior, and is officially owned by the governing mansion of the Pavolia family, and this is where a sweet but prideful a young heiress would reside, her name is Pavolia Reine. Pavolia Reine was a studious girl born with it all, she naturally grew up to have a bit of a sense of entitlement in her younger years, however that would begin to change on a cold night. Aged 9, she'd wake to find her father and mother greeted by an escort of guards. Who they were escorting was a cowering young girl, named Olivia Kristine. Of a similar age, 8 years old, Olivia was from a poor family that resided on the outskirts of a kingdom. However a few weeks prior, the kingdom that they resided outside of, the kingdom of Remnant, would be attacked by another kingdom, the kingdom of Newcumbers. The Lucia family, which made a poor living off of their mineral and coal rich mines, just so happened to fall within the crossfire of this battle, and with the kingdom of remnant, would fall.

"We found her in the rubble of the kingdom, she... she was the only survivor.." A Guard explains to Richter, Reine's father and head of the Pavolia Family. "See to it that she gets the care she needs, we can provide shelter and support to her and see that she gets an education and chance in life, unfortunately this happened at a pretty rough time, a guardian could be a bit of a struggle to find but we'll see it through." Richter explains before another guard chimes in, "when we found her.. she was under a pile of rubble, it took 7 mages to clear it!" The second guard explains, "why didn't you say this sooner, isn't she hurt!?" Richter shouts, "th-that's just it sir..! She had a barrier around her, she didn't know how to disarm it but we had enough mages to destroy the shield.. after that we figured, given her young age yet such magical strength, we should escort her straight to you." The first guard explains further. Reine peeks out from the door to hear the conversation further, she spots The little girl who also sees Reine. "We've never seen such a concentration of power in someone so young besides... your daughter.." Richter listens to the guards while contemplating, he walks to the young girl and kneels to her level. "My name is Pavolia Ricther, I am the governor of this town and owner of this mansion, as well as the headmaster of The Ashens Academy, What's your name dear child?" He asks, "... Olivia Kristine... sir... you guys are a small town of mages and witches right...? ...I think I've read about you before...." she replies somewhat stoically, "yes that's right, and I would like to offer you a place in my home, there's plenty enough space for even three of you, so don't feel shy about the offer, I believe we can give you a home and a chance at getting a life you'll be proud of.". In Olivia's mind, despite being so young, she was intelligent and mature, she knew she didn't have much of a choice in accepting the offer, but she still felt a tinge of shame in doing so, as she had no path for herself, no life she wanted specifically, for one to just be handed to her was more disheartening than her situation to her. "...If you'd have me..." Olivia replied to Reine's surprise. And from then on a new friendship began between the two After being introduced to Reine and settling into the new environment, Olivia would begin to open up more, and as the months past with her and Reine getting their educations and learning about magic, there was another intention behind Richter's offer, as Olivia would soon find out.
