Location - [REDACTED], Shicksal HQ

In the depths of Shicksal's main HQ, a place where only a few knew about, only the few that the head of Shicksal trusted, in a room dark cold room only lit up by a signal light via a capsule that laid in it a deceased beautiful woman with long luscious white hair and similar facial features to Kiana Kaslana and Theresa Apocalypse, she seemed at peace with herself as she laid inside a capsule frozen in time.

A stark contrast to a certain blonde Apocalypse sitting down on a chair facing towards the capsule, gazing at her with green eyes filled with turmoil, Otto Apocalypse's eyes, narrow as he looked at the dead body of the woman he loved the most, her cherished the most.

It pained him to see a woman once so powerful, so fearless, so brave, so enlightening and so inspiring, now dead.

And though many didn't know it, it was all his fault, her death was because of him. Had he not did what he did all those centuries ago, had he not miscalculated and ended up ruining his plans to save Kallen for an unjust execution by the organization he now owned.

Some sort of dark irony in there, but Otto was only in charge of Shicksal so he could somehow bring Kallen back... He knew she wasn't truly dead... How could she die? A chosen one, who hadn't even done what she was destined to do?

No. Rather she was just slumbering, yes... Just sleeping, just sleeping to rejuvenate her energy and he needed to help her, he knew he needed to.

By any means.

Even if it included taking life.

The blonde man nodded at his thought, finding that it was good before then flipping open a locket that showed him a picture of a better time of him, Kallen and a pink haired woman with bunny ears that were "naturally" attached to her head, one of the best of the MANTIS project, also known as The False Youkai Shrine Maiden, Yae Sakura.

The photo had Otto and Sakura glaring at one another with their arms crossed while Kallen just smiled brightly holding up a peace sign.

The blonde man chuckled at the photo, finding a warm feeling of nostalgia when he looked at it, a time where things were worth living and fighting for... A golden age to him.

Though he and Sakura never saw eye to eye, they could both agree with Kallen on her views and that was enough for the both of them, rivals for Kallen's love... A weird but fun rivalry that sadly ended in angry, sadness, hate and tragedy all because of his mishap.

The blonde man chuckled at the photo, finding a warm feeling of nostalgia when he looked at it, a time where things were worth living and fighting for... A golden age to him.

Otto sighed, leaning back in his chair looking up at the ceiling in a daze as he remembered the dreaded day for probably the millionth time now, he just couldn't get the image of Kallen's dying form and Sakura's very being burning hatred towards him that caused her to be removed from her Miko duties out of his mind.

All of it was his fault... And he wanted to make amends badly.

Soon after that.

"I've taken over Shickal... All of it, for taking you from me and yet... You're still gone." He thought solemnly, looking back down at the ground and closing his eyes.

"I-... Just need more time." He muttered softly, closing the locket and clutching it tightly, his white gloves making a small crunching sound that echoed around the room.

He looked down at the floor for a moment with a frown on his face before sighing and standing up to his feet but before he could turn around, his eyes then widen as he heard soft footsteps behind him.

"Oh, my... How depressing~, still lamenting on the past, I see, Otto-chan." A mature female playful voice sounded out in the dark room.

Otto's eyes slowly reverted back to their usual cool and collected state realizing who it was, he turned around to see a beautiful well endowed, blonde almost golden haired woman, wearing purple and white long sleeved dress with a parasol in hand, smirking impishly at the head of Shicksal.

"Yukari..." He muttered, pocketing the locket. "I wasn't aware that you would be coming today, I assume my message has intrigued you, more than I thought?" He mused, placing a hand on his chin as he watched curiously as she stepped towards him, twirling her umbrella.

Yukari let out a small laugh at the question but shook her head. "No, though I have to admit, what you said did surprise me but no, I'm not here because of that... Although it is related to it." She told him with a smile.
