Meanwhile

"... ouch..." gakushuu woke up from the time that Okuda pushed him in the void

Oh and do not forget, Nagisa too

"Um- where the fu-" Nagisa almost say that word before gakushuu closed his mouth

"Nuh uh." ... gakushuu turns back

It's completely dark in here

Sudden of all the lights start reaching them

Not sunlight.

But it's a statue aura

"Uhhh..." Nagisa was confused by why is there a statue and why is his magic abilities gone!?

"Uhm. Can you use your wings?" Nagisa asks gakushuu

"Yes I can. But what do we do right now?" Gakushuu says before reaching out to the statue.

The sparkles from the statue started to surround them and lead them to somewhere

"Huh? What could this lead to?" Nagisa says scratching his head

"Perhaps, this maybe will lead to the exit if Yk." Gakushuu says before thinking again if he should actually do this or not.

"Well... I guess we've got nothing to lose. Let's go and see where this statue leads us to." Gakushuu says before taking Nagisa's hand and following the sparkles. They both walk forward, and as they do, they hear an ominous sound. It sounds like a whisper, or a voice of some kind.

"Is that... someone talking?" Nagisa says nervously.

Gakushuu listens for a moment before he hears it again.

"Yes, it is,shit.. this is getting creepy." Gakushuu says.

"Your siren ears really help here." Gakushuu praises Nagisa a little

"Not the time." Nagisa says before looking up at the dark 'sky' for a second then...

"What was that?" Gakushuu says, stopping in his tracks. "Did you hear it too? That whisper?"

"Yeah, I heard it." Nagisa replies, looking up at the sky as well. "It sounded like someone was trying to communicate to us."

Gakushuu and Nagisa both listen carefully, trying to make out what the voice is saying. After a few moment of listening, they can make out the words.

"Welcome... to my domain."

"What does that even mean?" Gakushuu asks, confused.

"Well, it sounds like we're in someone's domain. Maybe they're just not welcoming us. Be more becareful " Nagisa suggests.

Gakushuu nods. "But... who are they? And what do they want from us?"

"I don't know... let's keep going and find out." Nagisa says, taking Gakushuu's hand as they continue on.

"You.. are the enemy of life." The mysterious voice says again but this time the only person who can hear it is gakushuu

"What??" Gakushuu stops in his tracks, caught off-guard by the mysterious voice. "Enemy of life? What do you mean by that?" He asks.

Nagisa looks at him, concerned. "Gakushuu, are you okay?"

"Yes, I... I think so. But... why is this person calling me the enemy of life??" Gakushuu says, his voice filled with confusion.

"No but you heard something?" Nagisa says.

"Yes! There was someone talking, and they called me 'the enemy of life'." Gakushuu explains to Nagisa. "But I don't know who they are or why they said that."

Nagisa blinks in confusion. "Gakushuu, I... I don't know what to say to that. Do we keep going or...."

Gakushuu looks up at this mysterious voice. "Who are you?" He shouts to the sky. "And what do you want from us?"

After waiting for a moment, Gakushuu and Nagisa hear a deep, rumbling voice in response.

"I am the Great One, protector of this land."

Both Gakushuu and Nagisa stare up at the pitch-black so called sky, unable to see anything. They stay silent for a moment, looking at each other with confusion.

"Who are you?" Gakushuu asks again quietly.

"I am the Great One, protector of this land." The voice repeats again.

"Protector of this land, huh." Gakushuu thinks for a moment before responding. "We're just travelers. We mean no harm."

Gakushuu and Nagisa look up again, waiting to hear back.

No response.

The sky remains dark, and the atmosphere is filled with tension. Gakushuu and Nagisa look at each other with caution.

"I don't like this," Gakushuu says, his voice wavering slightly. "Let's get out of here."

"You are in the domain of void. There's no escape."

"No escape....?" Gakushuu whispers, trying to hold back his fear.

"We can't just... be stuck here. There has to be a way! We have to try!" Nagisa says determinedly.

"Just keep quiet," Gakushuu pleads, trying to stay calm. "Don't provoke it, and maybe it'll just let us go!"

Nagisa nods and they both continue through the void. The tension grows stronger the farther they go, and their breaths grow heavier with anxiety.

"Remember if you have to fight, don't try to hold back they could get us killed anytime." Nagisa warns gakushuu
