I can hear faint sounds of chains clanging. I open my eyes to see chains, stretching out to the endless, black sky.

Everywhere I look are chains. Chains that go beyond the horizon. It's like...

A planet of chains?

I take a step forward, and my feet land on a loose chain. And then, the chain speaks.

"H-H---EY-Y!.!"

The voice tried to reach out to me, but it startled me to the point where I woke up.

A dream...? A planet of chains...

Wait, the Goddess being pierced by chains before I got here...

Is my dream what happened after that? Then, that voice was...

"Are you awake?" Naic spoke out of nowhere.

"Ah!" I jump back by the surprise.

I should've expected that I'd wake up beside her...

"Our parents are arriving soon. Follow me." Naic asked.

"Sigh, Sure." I said.

"Very well then." Naic said as she walked to the front door and held it open till I came so I stood up and followed her.

It's been 3 years... But it sure felt really fucking long.

3 YEARS LATER ; 95 YEARS AGO

AGE: 5 YEARS OLD

After a while of walking, we entered a room full of clothes. The maids were already waiting for us and immediately presented clothes tailored to Vytria's preferences.

Afterward, one of the butlers knocked on the door.

"Are you all finished? Madam Vytria and Sir Kraiter are waiting." He said. His voice felt ominous for some reason... It sounded rough like a soldier.

"Yes, Mikhayn." One of the maids responded. Mikhayn opened the door and took a good look at us.

"Good. They'll love it. Now, follow me." Mikhayn commanded us.

Mikhayn told us everything from what was going to happen to what we needed to do as we walked through the hallway.

Mikhayn opens the front door for us, revealing our parents, Vytria and Kraiter, awaiting with joyful smiles.

"Ah~ I think I'm about to faint...! She's so cute!!!" Vytria said as she stared at me proudly.

"She's going to grow into a fine woman! I'm calling it!" Kraiter complimented.

Ah.. haha... Haaaa......

I glanced to my left to see what Naic's expression looked like. All I saw was a menacing, threatening stare, looking deep into my eyes.

I'm sorry sis...

I felt a little guilty, taking Naic's spotlight.

"And Nai-" Vytria said before she fainted.

Naic and I were stunned by what we saw. We were more shocked to see Mikhayn open the door and our father hold our mother's unconscious body and throw it inside the carriage.

W-What kind of relationship is this...?

"She'll wake up soon enough later. Anyway, get in!" Our father ordered us with a smile.

Naic and I were left speechless by what we witnessed, but we gathered ourselves and stepped into the carriage nonetheless. Inside the carriage were our parents, me, naic, and a few maids. Including the viny girl whose name is apparently "Saria," and her sister, "Saira."
