Alicia had no idea what was going on around her anymore. Her entire being was being engulfed in darkness. The area surrounding Alicia turned black. Those who came to attack Alicia quickly succumbed to the black fog and were turned into nothing but bones. As the sounds of trumpets played, a golden light fell from the sky containing the black fog from spreading any further. The people who were trying to help her parents fend off the invaders were also surrounded by this golden light, protecting them from the horrors that the black fog had instilled into them.

As for Alicia, she held her parents in her arms, her eyes closed. Pictures of some unknown yet familiar place flashed before her eyes…

"Ai what are you doing?" A young girl asked.

"Chunchun did you know we are going to die? You, me, and Wei'er, we are all going to die." Tears rolled down Ai's cheeks. "I don't want to die!"

The other little girl, Chunchun, saw her sister Ai crying and also began to tear up. "I don't either, but there is no cure..." 

"But… Wei'er has been asleep for so long now… We will also end up being like Big sister..." Ai began to cry even harder. The two sisters hugged each other as they cried trying to find the only comfort they had left, which was each other.

As Alicia watched the images in her head, she had seen the little girl named Chunchun before. It was the one to be known as the Origin. The images flashed and the next thing she saw was two girls lying in a bed. One was slightly older but her face was blurred out, while the other was the girl from before, Chunchun. Each of them was hooked up to life support systems and their eyes were closed as if in an internal sleep.

"Chunchun we promised to sleep together!" She held the girl named Chunchun's hand as she cried. 

"Ai its time. Just like your sisters, you will also be going to sleep." A woman's voice not in view of the images spoke. 

"I can sleep with my sisters? Will I meet them in my dreams?" Ai's look of expectation could not hide the single wish she held in her heart.

"If you try hard enough maybe you will be able to."

Blake appeared in the skies of Phantasia and frowned. He saw that the planet had taken a beating which made him very concerned. He could also hear the trumpets in the air making him wonder what was actually happening. He then looked in a certain direction where he felt a familiar yet dark presence. "She couldn't have..."

A worried expression filled Blake's face as he quickly flew in the direction of the familiar presence. As he got closer he saw a golden light surrounding a dark fog and in it, he also saw ten small golden lights seemingly protecting something. With no choice, Blake transformed into his god appearance and flew through the barrier and into the black fog. He could instantly feel the corroding nature of the back fog and the familiarity from it. "Am I too late? No… No matter what, I will bring her back." 

Blake pushed his way through the fog ignoring the people surrounded by golden light. He knew where he needed to go. Although the black fog was slowly corroding at his skin he ignored it. His bloodline of being of the god race and also because of the celestial bloodline he was given made him more immune to the effects of the black fog. 

He pushed forward into the darkness until he saw a small vortex like bubble where he spotted three familiar figures. Two of which laid lifeless in a young woman's arms. Blood covered the girl who was holding the two figures. As he got closer and finally understood what was going on, even he could not stop the tears that rolled down his cheeks. He continued to push forward ignoring the wounds that were now opening on his body. Until finally, he was standing in the eye of the storm. 

Blake looked down at Alicia, his heart full of pain seeing the anguish on her face. Dry blood and tears mixed together leaving trails down her cheeks. "Akari… Sorry, I am late..." 

Blake knelt down and wrapped his arms around the girl. He then poured his golden aura into her body in an attempt to flush out the darkness. He was willing to do anything for her as long as it meant that he could save her. He would not allow her to succumb to the darkness. He held on tight to the girl as he rocked back and forth. He wished he had come with her. He wished he stayed by her side. But he knew he was too weak to do so. He could only look on as she grew stronger and stronger. He knew she was holding back her cultivation in order to allow him to catch up. He knew all this but he still wished for nothing more than to protect the one he loved. 

Blake's lips pressed against Alicia's cheek not caring about the blood, giving her a kiss. "Akari, you have to come back to me. You can not leave me nor the kids. You can not allow yourself to fall. You are my one and only in this life. So please… Please stay with me. Do not fall into darkness! Do not let it consume you! You still have so much to do! The people of this world rely on you. Your children rely on you. I rely on you! Don't leave me!"

Tears rolled down Blake's cheek as he continued to rock Alicia back and forth in his arms...
