The Fall of Eternity

"Kujou Tengu! I'm still in Ritou! Did you flee again? You must've fled in the night after hearing my name, eh? Haha, is my name scarier than the battlefield? That's fine! I'll wait for your return here at the harbor! Don't you dare die on the battlefield, Kujou Tengu! You still owe me a duel!"

"Shut it. Are you done yet? If this is some kind of blessing before I set out for war, then I will accept it. You don't get yourself killed either, you idiotic Crimson Oni."

A small smile graced her lips, fingers trailing on the words written on the bulletin board. It was on the small moments like this that she grace herself with the opportunity to free herself from the burdens settled upon her shoulders. Her golden eyes skimmed through the Crimson Oni's words once again, although he was childish, he had a carefree spirit. Unlike hers, who dwells in solitude, her sole purpose was to see through the Shogun's wishes, to make sure the Shogun achieves what she desires. Sara knew that it was a bad idea to reply to these messages, knowing that it was foolish and immature. But through this small exchanges, she was able to open up her heart, although briefly, it had made her feel as Sara alone, the person behind the strict exterior. Not as Kujou Sara, not as the General of the Shogun's Army, and not as a Tenryou Commissioner.

She closed her eyes, hearing the sound of soldiers running around behind her, all preparing for war. Sparring the board one last glance, she turned her back determinedly as she set out for the battlefield. Thunder roaring loudly above them, the dark grey skies looming over their heads.

The Shogun is her will, her future, her strength... even the harbinger of her fate - the confluence of all that is noble.

For Kujou Sara, helping the Almighty Shogun to achieve eternity is a paramount goal. She knows that she herself may not be there in the end, but she devotes herself to this mission all the same.
