1 New Journey

(Somewhere in another world…)

On a top of a tower, two people is doing a ritual, chanting words in the air. The first one is a female elf wearing a green tunic clothe, a pair of long boots reaching his upper thighs and white gloves, she also have a blonde hair which some are in a braid and grass decoration place on her head. The next one is also female, however she's different. The girl has cat-like appearance and is wearing a more revealing cloth. Her clothes were a vest that went to her chest, had shoulder pads attached, and was hanging from a jacket, and a wide leather belt coiled above her waist. It has a great number of pockets attached to it. She also wore a skirt of layered cloth around her waist and skin-tight short shorts/spats underneath the skirt.

"Do you think it will work?" The Elf asked.

"Of course it will work, especially to me!" The cat-girl replied.

"Heh, let us see then." The elf retorted.

The two continue the summoning ritual at the tomb-like concrete bed of some sort until they finally succeeded it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

(Somewhere…)

Snows are falling in the ground like leaves leaving the trees as winter comes closer. A man is walking towards a grave by the side of an angel statue, close to a gothic chapel. He is wearing a long black luxurious coat, a blue pants with horizontal stripes on it and a pair of black shoes. Breathings are heavy, his body is aching. He held his katana firmly as he approaches the grave. The grave of his mother that had been killed by a person who he hated the most and promised revenged on him, Mundus. Coughing some blood, he brushed off the crimson liquid coming out of his mouth while his body bleeds profusely.

He limply walks and almost at the verge of falling down. He gathered also his remaining strength and tries to stand while using his sword to support his body. Once he had approached the grave, he stopped and looked at its epitaph. And there, a picture of a family is attached, the picture of his family. Finally, he knelt down from the fatigue while not removing his gaze at the picture on the epitaph.

"What happened to us, father?" After saying that, he coughed blood at the picture. Still, his breathes are heavy.

"Dante betrayed me. There's nothing left for me here." He said and opened his coat, revealing a torn body of his with no heart inside of it. From it, bloods pour down and out, staining the inside of his coat.

And after showing his bloodied empty chest, he falls down at the grave's concrete slab, completely succumbing from the pain and fatigue. As he lies down, a bright light formed circles around him with unknown scriptures along with it.

His eyes went wide-opened suddenly because of this. He tried to maintain his eyes opened, but the light is so strong, almost blinding him. He then has no any other choice but to close them back and wait for what is about to happen to him.

---------------------------------------------------------------

(Unknown location…)

Lastly, after the light force him to close his eyes for a moment; he opens them only to find himself staring at the sky. And of course, he took noticed of the four pillars around him instantly. The four pillars have a spherical glass at atop of them.

'Where am I?' He asked to himself.

He gripped his hand where he previously held his sword. Fortunately for him, it was still there. He felt ease knowing that it was still there. His eyes shifted on the two people as he felt their presences that are very near to him. From a dangerous glare and a promise of death, his stare turned into confusion as he looks at the two strange beings standing just by the right the side of the bed.

"It worked!" The girl with strange ears squeals in joy.

"Yes, finally! My summoning ritual is successful!" The girl who he do not know where race she belongs remarked herself.

"Excuse me? For your information, I was the one who summon it!" Her companion disapproved. The two began their bickering on who summoned the creature in front of them.

The man did not know nor care what they are bickering about. He was too tired for this. He held himself up to sit on the cold bed and without warning; the two girls approached him with haste and starts to lean on him. As if sensing a danger, he used his right hand to push the two away from him with little force to avoid hurting them more… in a meantime at least.

"KYAAA!" The two girls screamed after the man push them away from him without even touching them.

The two rolled down a bit before halting completely. They then try to stand up as quickly as possible although albeit a little surprise on the creature's sudden hostility. Also, this is a hint for them that this creature is a worthy slave. Before taking some action, the two took a good glimpse of the creature's appearance. As far as they could tell, it was a male base on his physical appearance. Moreover, the male also has a white hair and has an odd curved sword on his left hand.

"What are you two trying to do?! And, who and what are you?!" The man wielding an odd sword demanded on them.
