Honkai Impact 3rd: Will Of The Universe

(S2) Crystallized (Herrscher of Ice Finale)

The young girl Ana Schariac opened her eyes as she gasped to what she saw.

She is alive and is there standing at a field covered nothing but by the land of snow, as the last thing she remember was that she asked Owl to kill her to stop herself from turning into a full fledge herrscher.

So then why is she here?

Did she finally slipped through the gaps of life and awakened into a paradise.

"You've grown so much big... Ana."

As the girl recognise the sound of that voice, she turned to see the old man... Ryo standing before her...

But her heart shatters seeing his state. All injured and wounded... Most of all, some part of his left arm started to turn into black ice.

"Father!"

Running forward, the girl didn't stop and lunged forward embracing her beloved father, never attempting to let go.

"What is going on? Why are we here?"

The old assassin wrapped his arms around her, as the cold temperature from her body was getting warmed up.

"Look at you... Not only you're my beautiful daughter, but also a strong valkyrie."

The tone of his voice was very low and soft, and the young Schariac could feel his heartbeat.

Weak and ready to stop.

"You're mother... Yelena, would be very proud to see you."

"What's going on Father... Why are you saying it like this is goodbye?"

Feeling scared, the assassin crouched down and looked into his daughter's eyes. "I'm sorry Ana... I made every bad decisions in my life... And now is my time to make the final payment."

Coughing, blood drips from his mouth, Ana's body jerked off to that reaction, as she hugged her father again.

"Father! Don't say that, we could still get you treated..."

"Too late, I used too much of my power to deliver the final blow... To save you and the kid that protected you, i sacrificed every inch of my being to deny your fate by the scythe of the grim reaper- Uwagh! Ack!"

"This is the 2nd chance I have given you Ana, cherish it until the end, you and that kid live in peace and away from the world's evil. I give you my blessing."

He covered his mouth to hold back the urge of coughing.

"Why do this father? You're much better living on more than me!"

Protested by her, the old assassin let out a chuckle.

"Ana... There are things that I only cherished in this cruel world. You, and your mother."

"But I failed as your mother's husband. I couldn't save her, and the only treasure she left me is you..."

As he glanced up. Slowly he caressed the girl's face and wiped off the tears staining her cheek.

"This is what a selfish loving father would do Ana."

He declared and gave one last brilliant smile to her, showing his little girl that he had no regrets... Their foreheads touch against each other passing his thoughts to her... As Ryo finally hit his limit after using the Realm of Blades and Time.

I gave everything to her... When I lost my wife Yelena... My wife, I promised myself that i would not let that same mistake repeat over again.

To me... Ana is my world, my one and only gold. A treasure to a parent, a gift from god that would one day let me see her grow into a fine beautiful woman.
