In the middle of a white void, floated a person.
There was nothing surrounding them as they continued to move through the blankness untethered.
A calmness had filled their heart as they moved, not a single thought in their mind to weigh them down. This person could not remember how they entered the void, they could not even remember where they came from, their name, or what they looked like.
All they knew was that the void was safe, in the void they no longer had to deal with the cruelty of the world, the judgment of things they could not control, the insecurities, the self-hatred, or the crippling loneliness that threatened to consume them at every moment of their existence.
The void was a comfort, its brilliant light burning away the darkness from within them, covering them in its loving embrace.
They could stay here forever in the void of love.
"Natsuki! Natsuki!" A strange voice yelled, shaking the void and the person within it.
What's a Natsuki? They thought, hoping the voice would find it and leave them alone.
"NASUKI!" Suddenly part of the void had shattered, as a large golden dragon burst through the hole they created and flew towards the person.
"Natsuki! We must leave this retched place, the longer you stay here the more of you the void consumes!" The dragon yelled.
The person turned over, facing away from the dragon, and finally speaking. "I do not know who this 'Natsuki' is, but it is not me. Now leave me, you are hurting my savior."
The dragon did not take this well as it released a powerful roar once again shaking the world around them, causing the person to cover their ears.
"Damn it Natsuki! I thought you were stronger than this. You promised me that you would fight and not let yourself be consumed. I was wrong to make you my partner."
The person did not know why, but the dragon's words had angered her. "I am strong! And I never go back on my word!" They screamed.
"Really? From where I am looking that does not seem to be the case. What has happened to you, my champion?"
It was then that the person felt a sharp pain emanating in her head, hundreds of thousands of images flashed through their mind. The sensation lasted only a few seconds, but felt as if it had been decades.
Once the images had stopped the person had looked up at the dragon. "Lux?"
The she dragon grinned, "You have come back to me, Natsuki." Lux then gently placed her enormous head against the girl's.
"Yeah, I'm back. I'm sorry that I left you alone." She could not believe that she had forgotten herself. She was not some random person that belonged to the void, she was Sukehiro Natsuki, Devil servant of Rias Gremory and partner of the great Golden Dragon, Lux.
"It matters not. Let us just leave this terrible place." Lux lowered her head allowing her partner to climb onto her neck. Once the Devil was settled, the dragon raised her wings and flew out of the void, hopefully never to return.
