"Ugh... Where am I?"
A young girl woke up in a dark room, unable to see anything. Normally brightness would not affect her vision, but since confusion disabled her abilities her artificial eyes were also.
As for this girl's appearance, she couldn't have been more cliche! This girl, to sum up, had the appearance of an overconfident, purple-haired swordswoman, the type you'd find in fantasy novels. That is, if this swordswoman didn't have a tail of dark hazel, and a set of ears to match that completely out-of-place getup. Now, these ears looked exactly like the hair they were resting on, but still. They're cat ears. Nothing's normal there. Hell, the entire Cait Sith race was on the brink of extinction! (Due to people getting too close with them)
"Narrator, please stop describing my appearance. I don't like boring character descriptions."
I'm not your stat window. Do not talk to me. Anyways...
"So, last thing I remember was my sister speaking via wannabe telepathy, me getting stuck in a statue, and realizing I summoned myself to the same world I was trying to leave. And then I passed out. Now, Someone,what happened?"
IDK. I'm just a stat window. Also, for Guair's sake now I can hear the Narrator too! Guair damn it!
Woah. "Don't go saying that name so quickly, Guair might still be alive." Lucina spoke seemingly to nobody, in the dark room that she was not alone in.
"Hmm. So you know Guair..."
"Thanks for the heads up, Narrator!" She thought as she tried to use her now unusable sight.
"So, who's there, where is there, and why is my body a statue?"
"The name's classified, we're nowhere, and I don't know, gorgons, maybe?"
"Not helping... But thanks, Classified."
Gorgons. Something you don't wanna run into at the market. One of the most hated creatures in Sidonia, even if you don't look at them they turn everything with 'life' in it to an unbreakable substance called [insert useless plot name here you'll probably forget]! Apparently, Lucina broke some when her head used [Form Recall]last chapter. Luckily, only her clothes were made of this, and not her actual body, so she was able to move but not much.
"Do you really think that's my name?" - the unseen 'stalker' said.
"Well, my surname is Someone, so..."
"Fair point, fair point. But, just who are you? I mean, I heard you mutter your name, but still, from what I see you're a Cait Sith. Didn't they go extinct with the destruction of the planet Calcedonia?"

Now that Lucina D. Olline had calmed down, and was starting to wrap her head around things, she opened her eyes and saw what could best be desribed as a guardian angel gone mecha. With wings that looked like sword origami, the blonde, pale figure stood arms crossed, with his gray eyes staring right into her soul. A set of arms that resembled the weapons on his unturned back, and a pair of legs that had form-fitting gladiator boots up to his knees both radiated a faint aura, giving off the impression that they were on fire. As she saw how the aura was getting brighter, she began to worry.
"... I think so... I don't quite remember..."
Upon meeting her gaze, a large look of shock ran across their eyes. Then, he crossed the 10-meter distance between them and grabbed her arm. As he did, an even bigger look of surprise arose on both of their faces.
"How?" The two said in unison.
"How are you alive? Just who are you?" - Again, said in complete synchronization.
"I've been asking that the entire time!" - Lucina stopped the sync, now curious as to who was holding her arm. One of her skills, [Atomic Seal] prevents physical contact, because it will lock any atom it touches in place, and any movement that disrupts it's relative position to the beholder causes a chain that repels any atoms with the effect imbued. This would normally result in the object touching the bearer being obliterated and/or launched, but he seemed to be staying in place. Oddly enough, This person also seemed to have [Atomic Seal], and the wondering the same exact thing.
"Since you don't want to give your name, and you already know mine, don't you think it's kind of rude? What kind of man are you?"
"You just survived Atomic Grip... Wow. You've got me impressed. Literally nobody has ever done that." - He let go of her arm before he thought she'd think of it as harassment.
SO WHY'D YOU DO IT THEN? - She swallowed these words.
"As for my name... well, for starters a Demon saying their true name out loud is never a good idea. Especially for Dullahan. So, seeing as I am also a Dullahan, i'll tell you this: so long as you swear on your existence to not tell this name to others I'll tell it to you."
... Just go with it, no time for questioning the conversation flow, she thought. Unknowingly, this is exactly what he was thinking as well, albeit he just wanted to get this over with. He doesn't exactly appreciate useless, boring dialogue, and neither does she.
"I swear on my existence to not say your name to others until given permission to do so."
"Ok, now that we've got that out of the way, I can answer your questions."
And what happened to your name? She thought, but wouldn't dare rush due to her combat skills being sealed.
"Right now, you're in my house. My glass house, to be specific. Right now, theI have to thank you, though, for getting rid of my bastard father." - he took note of how she phrased the swear, noting to not give her permission until he absoutely needs to.
There were only 2 people in all of her lives that she's erased. One was an assassin trying to kill her, and the other...
"Are you saying you're the son of that person?"
Hoping to not hear the answers she think she will...
"And what if I am?"
A face of shock, horror, sadness, and joy washed over her face at once...
"Then you are..."
And her long-lasting feeling of despair vanished...
"Well. I guess I've got a bit of stuff to do. Where's Tatsuki?"
As she hugged her long-lost brother for the first time in 4 years.
A steady stream of tears flowed down her face, down onto their combat gear that was now it's normal state. "Why? Why didn't you come sooner?" He asked, doing his best to keep himself from crying. After all, he already knew it was her when he kidnapped Lucina from a burial ground.
"I was trying, but I didn't know where to look... Then, I tried summoning myself to you, and I sensed it... so I got confused... You were in Sidonia the entire time...?" She sobbed out, barely able to keep her composure.
"I didn't know where I was... I just got cast out from our world... saw our entire family killed... Including you... I didn't think you were alive... I saw you die! Was it an illusion? Are you actually here?"
"Yes, i'm here... It's been too long... Sameki."
