*Third Person POV

"I think it's time we call it a day now. Goodnight everyone and I'll see all of you tomorrow." Evan said as he dismisses his squad.

"See you tomorrow Evan." Enterprise said her goodbyes to me as she started heading to her dorms.

"Goodnight Sir Evan." Forbin wished me goodnight as she starts to leave.

"Goodnight Lady Forbin. Goodnight Enterprise. Enjoy your sleep." I wish the two of them goodnight as I watched them leave.

"Goodnight and see you tomorrow Commander. Or should I say Prince?" Vauquelin taunted. Evan sighed and shook his head as he looked at Vauquelin.

"Oh shush Miss Vauquelin." Illustrious gently pushed Vauquelin to try and stop her from shipping Evan and Princess Elincia together.

After everyone else has left, Evan then left for his quarters.

*Evan/My POV

After dismissing my squad, I slowly made my way to my quarters. As I was making my way, I remembered something that I left back in my office. I quickly went back to my office to get the item. After arriving at my office, I encountered Gascogne waiting outside of my office.

"Identification Complete. Welcome back Master." Gascogne did her identification check and greeted me.

"A day has already passed Gascogne. Go back to your dorm and rest." I said to her as I unlocked the door.

"Analysis of Strategic Significance of Order deemed impossible." Gascogne said her usual answer as I went into my office and came out holding a book.

"Just go back to your dorm Gascogne." I said to her as I locked the door to my office and left. Gascogne followed me, seemingly trying to escort me back to my dorm.

"Trying to escort me? Very well then. As I am unaware of the movements of the yanderes, I will allow you to accompany me back to my quarters Gascogne" I didn't mind Gascogne's company as I was unaware of the movements of my yandere shipgirls, especially Akagi and Taihou.

"Unable to analyze the meaning of 'Yandere'." Gascogne remarked as she escorted me back to my quarters. After arriving back at my quarters, I unlocked the door and dismissed Gascogne.

"Alright Gascogne. Thank you for escorting me. You are free to go back to your dorm." I said to her.

"Affirmative." Gascogne replied and turned to walk back to her dorm. I watched her leave for a few minutes, then I went into my quarters and locked the door. I placed the book on my desk, sat down and started writing in it.

*Timeskip

I was writing in the book when I heard some noises outside.

"Tenno Heika Banzai!" A familiar voice is trying to banzai charge another shipgirl. I immediately recognized the voice of the one doing the banzai charge.

"Is that Roasted Chicked causing trouble again?" I asked myself as I continued writing my last few words on the book.

"I have some matters to take care off. Goodbye for now Elincia. Evan Siegfried, Fleet Admiral of Azur Lane." I wrote down my last words on the book, grabbed my Levin Sword and went out of my quarters to investigate what was going on.

I turned around the corner and saw Forbin and Taihou fighting each other.

"Can't this Roasted Chicken ever give up?" I asked myself in my thoughts as I slowly crept up to Taihou. I paralyzed her with an electric shock, causing her body to fall on the ground.

"You never give up do you Taihou?" I asked the paralyzed Sakura Empire Aircraft Carrier.

"Sir Evan!" Forbin reacted to my appearance. I smiled at her and nodded.

"Yes I'm here. Are you hurt Forbin?" I asked.

"I'm fine." Forbin replied.

"Good." I commented.

*Timeskip

After dragging Taihou away to the medical bay, I went back to my quarters and got ready to go to bed. As I lay down on my bed, I checked my Iphone to see if I have any messages from my brothers in arms, Jabil and Mash or from my Commanding Officer, Admiral Kenneth. After seeing that there were no messages from them, I slowly went to sleep.

*Evan's/My Dream

*Evan/My POV

"Ugh. Where am I?" I asked myself as I woke up in a dark place. I wandered around aimlessly in the dark as there is no light. A red glow attracted me and I saw a sword stuck into what looks like an altar.

As I approached the sword, I instantly recognized it.

"Is that?" I asked myself just as another glow attracted my attention. This time, the second glow came from inside of my pocket. I dug into my pocket and I found a red gem.

"How do I use this again?" I ask myself as I went to the sword and tried to figure out how to use the red gem. After a few minutes of failed attempts, I managed to stick the gem into the opening of the handle.

"Alright. It's done." I said. As I touched the sword, a memory flashed into my mind. I was teleported to some sort of temple where I witness a girl being sealed away by a man. Then the memory disappeared and I was back on top of the altar. 

"I remember this. Isn't this Hartmut's memory of sealing Idunn?" I asked myself as I drew the sword out of the altar. "If the Binding Blade is here, does that mean...." I realized something.

"I'm in the Shrine of Seals. That means the Apocalypse Tome is somewhere in here." I said to myself as I stuck the Binding Blade back into the altar. As I was about to leave, I heard something behind me. Curious, I turned back to see that the Binding Blade is floating on top of the altar.

I stared at the Binding Blade for a moment before the Binding Blade flew towards me at lightning speed, cutting my right arm.

"Ow." I gripped my right arm in pain. The Binding Blade left a huge cut on my right arm. I looked around for the Binding Blade but it was nowhere to be seen.

*Reality

*Evan/My POV

I woke up with a searing pain on my right arm. I looked at my right arm to see a huge cut on it.

"Strange. It's all a dream isn't it?" I asked myself as I was unsure of how I got the cut even though my right arm was fine last night. I examined my right arm one more time and I saw what looks like a silhouette of the Binding Blade on my right hand.

"A tattoo? Where did this come from?" I have so many questions to ask. Just then, the silhouette disappeared and the Binding Blade appeared right in front of me, being gripped by my right hand.

"AH!" I was startled.
