An eternally proceeding cycle, a goddess constantly searching for one. An individual eventually encountering a pure girl, that person setting a new direction in her existence.
Sentiments forever remaining within, the maiden following those feelings. The two soon heading back to their own home, Ava making her way up to her room.
The young woman packing lightly, her mind on her companion. Shortly setting the bag at the side of her bed, soon sitting down, lowering her head.
"What am I supposed to do, if Dabria cannot leave here...?" sadly gripping her arms.
I knew it was a high possibility. After all, her real presence is somewhere in Inai. No matter, I had to believe. Dabria, I will find you one day, please wait just a bit longer...
Two souls in one place, slowly attracting to one another after many years. A terrible situation on them, one having to retreat. These ill sentiments within the goddess, her paining heart. Standing in the shadows, her vision on the pure one from afar.
Walking forward, soon encountering a barrier. Placing her hands on it, shortly falling to her knees. The hazel one's soft smile on them, her assuring words to them.
Ava looking to her companion, seeing the agony in the person's eyes. Night soon coming, the maiden making her way outside. Her companion at her side, fondly looping their arm around her own.
A spirit in this place, their two realities not the same. The young woman's vision on the slowly changing surroundings, witnessing ruin setting in.
Trees sprouting from buildings, rubble scattering everywhere. The terrible road, windows in pieces. Vehicles in a terrible state, old signs on the ground.
A crimson mist flowing through, the stench of blood in the air. That bleeding moon high in the sky, shining down its light.
"Hey...Dabria, did you ever see what is outside of this town...?" Ava glancing in her direction.
"No, I have been here my entire life. Though, now I am curious." The girl pressing her index finger against her cheek.
"I am sure you will like what you see, there are cities with many people. It is constantly lively, ranges of activities that has mass gatherings. It is like what you would see in Inai, but on a much larger scale. Many different people, fascinating technologies, it just keeps going." The young woman's pleasant voice.
"Is that so? Sounds like it will be fun! After I finish school, I definitely would like to head to one of those places with you." Smiling at her companion, happily pressing against her.
"Yeah...that would be nice..." The maiden slightly looking away.
Never even got a glimpse of what is beyond here with her own eyes, and I don't even think I can make what she wants possible. After all she did for me, and I am unlikely to return her kindness...
A pure soul's existence in a town, someone never seeing beyond the horizon. An entity wishing to give something more, these swelling sentiments within her. A severe situation on them, the young woman unable to properly harness what is within her.

The two moving onward, Ava's sharp glare keeping back their enemies. Both shortly meeting up with Sera in front her home, the woman's uncertain eyes on Dabria.
"Sera, Dabria will be coming as well." Ava's hand on her waist.
"I see, I guess that is fine...I am not even sure if this is even possible..." The woman's conflicting emotions.
"Hey...it feels like you two are hiding something from me, are you...?" Dabria looking from one to the next.
"Nothing at all, we just figured you'd want to stay at your home. Though, you must want to come because of the occurrences after the sun sets..." Sera's hand to her chest.
"Yeah, I think everyone here will be fine. Though, it looks like those who can see those things are not safe..." Unease from her, looking away a bit.
What will I do...if there is a way to leave here, and she cannot come...? Staying is foolish, but she'd be terrified here on her own. Those monsters will usually not target me, they avoid her since I am present nearby. Still...if she is dead, how does these deaths make any sense? Even so, I do know I do not want her to suffer...
Victims suffering a reality more terrifying than death, countless proceeding along in ignorance. Fiends lurking after the setting sun, an innocent soul waiting on another in Inai.
These real feelings to the maiden, her desire to meet her companion at the end of this nightmare. Keeping her eye on her goal, having to pull back for now.
The three heading on their way, their minds on the trading route of this town. Eyes on them from the shadows, those hesitating monsters.
"It looks like we will be safe so long as Ava is here, it seems even monsters knows a line not to cross." Sera positioning her arms in a thinking posture.
"I wondered on that strangeness, though it made sense after I realized Ava is Desdemona. You'd have to be pretty stupid to cross a deity the wrong way..." Dabria scratching her cheek with her index finger.
"You both are making me out to be some kind of terrifying beast." The maiden sighing, holding the back of her head.
"Hehe, you have to admit, you can be quite scary when you want to." The girl brightly smiling at her partner.
"I concur, I have...seen the remains of your victims. Have to admit, left me kind of disturbed..." Sera looking away a bit, trying to calm herself.
An entity's cruel methods, someone brutalizing her opponents. A person shaking their hearts, terrorizing those before her.
A sister racing through the dusk, searching for her younger brother. Another within the vast stream, her wish to meet them again.
"Let us just leave it at, I play an eye for an eye. If my enemies do not play nicely, then I will not do so as well. Any less is asking to be killed." Ava's vision onward, lowering her arm.
"Now I want to know what you endured over those years, someone just does not flip the switch like this. At the same time, I feel like it is better that I do not know the full story..." Sera turning her attention ahead.
"Wish I can answer you on that, but I do not remember myself. All I have are memories of my current life, given that I have been searching for my brother for a long time. I can only imagine there has been countless experiences, those in which seem eternally engraved into me..." Distantly looking at her hand.
The few passing smaller corpses, their eyes on creatures slowly moving away from them. Some knocking over poles, their sounds in the dusk.
One steadily returning, her image engraving into the monsters. Fiends fearing the goddess, an individual's forceful path.
Ava's never fading pain, a person holding onto the smallest chance, running in a terrible abyss. Drowning in her sorrow, a guiding hand reaching in, pulling her to the surface.
"Well, try and look at it this way. You still have your reason within you, maybe the cycle can end this time, and I'll help you do it." Dabria smiling at her companion, her hands behind her back.
"I will do all I can as well, I cannot imagine what it would be like searching for someone as long as you are." Sera faintly smiling at the maiden.
I was lonely for a long time. Then you came into my life Dabria, shining your light into my black world. I am able to trust now because of you, and so, I will do all I can for you...
