Your vision was blurred as you opened your eyes to find yourself in a dimly lit dungeon.

Corona: (Y/N)!

You quickly turned your head to find Corona sitting in the same cell as you. So you immediately ran to her side to discover that she was drained of her aura and chains seemed to wrap around her ankles to keep her bound to ground.

(Y/N): I take it you have no idea where we are.

You used your cybernetic arm to make an attempt to free Corona from her chains.

Corona: ... No... I awoke an hour ago but nobody has shown up.

After a moment of struggle, you broke the chain from the ground to free her.

(Y/N): Only way to find, huh.

Corona: ... Just go... I sprained my ankle trying to free myself and I don't have my staff to heal.

(Y/N): Sorry, not leaving here without you.

You then proceeded to lift her from the ground and carried her bridal style. She blushed from your sudden action but she also felt safe as her heart began to beat faster.

As you approached the cell door, you used your left leg to kick the door open and the both of you were free to roam the dungeon.

Meanwhile, The High Priestess was still trying to process the fact that she was being carried in your arms. It took her a moment to finally calm herself and simply rest her head against you. She quite enjoyed the being carried in your arms since she was developing a crush on you.

So as the two of you traversed the dungeons, you couldn't help but feel a sense of uneasiness during the walk.

Corona: Hey... I never asked... But... Was there anyone... That you were interested in?

You were a little confused by her question but you simply sighed before about your past.

(Y/N): Well... There really wasn't. In fact, there was someone who taken an interest in me... But... The day she confessed to me was also the same day Beacon was attacked for the second time. Whoever it was... Killed many huntsman... Including her... I watched as her heart was literally taken from her...

Corona: I-I'm sorry... I shouldn't have asked.

You lightly smiled at her sincerity as you continued to carry her through the depths of the dungeon.

(Y/N): Its fine.... I only hope to find this person and put an end to her cruelty... No one else deserves the kind of suffering I went through.

She remained silent at the moment, the guilt from her question still remains as she also looked at you.

The both of you stumbled upon a staircase that led up so you shrugged before walking up the stairs. As the two of reached the top of the stairway, you noticed a door way to a room so you decided to investigate. You kicked the door open to reveal a well lit bedroom so you moved inside. It was odd since the room was modern compared to the rest of the castle-like dungeon. In fact, it seemed that both of have escaped the depths since the hallways were more clearly seen.

(Y/N): Seems like someone's been here.

You set Corona on the bed since you needed a break, which she adjusted herself to sit up. You took a look out a window to find that it was night time as you looked at the dark sky.

You then looked around the room to look for any clues about your location. The only piece of item you can find was a portrait of a white and black haired woman. Her red and black eyes seemed to pierce into your very soul. Although, you began to notice that she resembled Corona.

Corona: It seems we're in a place called Castle Morning Star.

You turned your attention to the priestess who seemed to be reading a small book.

Corona: Its a journal from travelers who discovered the location of an island found in the sea. They found a castle in the middle of the island thaf was said to be the home of a dem... *yawn*

It was as if the yawn itself was contagious but you have done the same since it was night time.

(Y/N): *yawn* You too, huh?

You found a chair and decided to take a seat although the exhaustion seemed to worsen as you sat down.

(Y/N): Hopefully whoever owns the place doesn't mind we spend the night.

Corona: Y-you can't be serious!

(Y/N): What choice do we have? We're both sleepy.

She looked down before slowly nodding since you had a point. Although she realized something as she took a look around to find only one bed.

Corona: Where will you sleep?

You shrugged at her question since you were currently sleepy.

(Y/N): Chair, floor, who knows...

Corona blushed as she thought of a suggestion.

Corona: W-why d-don't you just sleep on the bed with m-me...

Since you were currently extremely exhausted and your thinking process isn't exactly keeping up, you stood up from the chair.

(Y/N): ... Okay...

You then unknowingly proceeded to take off your shoes and laid down on one half of the bed.

Corona blushed madly since she didn't think that you would accept so quickly. So she laid on the bed as well and made sure that she was faced away from you. Although, she was quickly surprised when you suddenly threw an arm around her and brought her closer to you.

Corona: (Y-Y/N)!

You let out a light snore in response signifying that you were already asleep.

The High Priestess was practically red since you were holding her in your sleep.

After a while, she eventually relaxed into your hold and felt a gentle warmth in her heart. She lightly smiled as the priestess cherished the moment before allowing sleep to take over after snuggling into your arms.
