In a monotone world, Grey found himself lying down under a gigantic tree. As opened his eyes, he saw the colorless sky, it was particularly a cloudy sky. 

(Grey's POV)

I didn't know the  place I was in, but I was still weirdly calm about my situation. There was no panic inside me as I stared in the sky. 

But this place is sure weird, everything here is monotone, well except for me myself for some reason.

As I was staring at the sky---

"Big brother Grey?" 

A particular set of shiny eyes came into my field of vision. Those are the set of eyes, the face and the person that I wanted to see the most, the person that I did all these things for. 

"Illya?" I asked, my mind couldn't comprehend what was going on and I didn't know how to react.

"Yes, big brother Grey."

"Illya?"

"Yes, it is me."

"So, is that you, Illya?" I couldn't maintain the fluidity of my voice as I spoke. Closing my eyes, I tried to calm myself.

"Yes--it is ----Illya," 

I felt a warm drop of liquid falling on my forehead. I opened my eyes to find the face of Illya, tears fell from both of her cheeks, her face was a mess from crying.

Now that I notice, even sobs are loud enough to be noticed by me. Why didn't I notice it? 

I got up in a seated position, as I looked at still sobbing Illya. 

"Illya?"

"Illya is here, Big brother. Illya is here!!!" 

It felt like any wrong word would make my eyes bust into tears, it seemed like the hardest job to hold my tears.

"Were you waiting for me, Illya?"

"Illya was looking at big brother Grey, Illya was waiting for big brother." 

She seemed to want to say something more, but she later swallowed her own words. But she look at me and said, "I am sorry..."

"Huh?" I placed my hand over her head as I asked, "Why sorry?"

"Since, Illya caused big brother so much trouble. Illya was a bad girl. Illya didn't know that Illya's death would cause big brother Grey so much suffering. Illya honestly didn't want you to come. When Illya saw you in that church crying, Illya felt like living with big brother."

Tears that were stuck in her eyes started flooding out endlessly as she tried to speak between her sobs. But her cry was still silent, it was as if she was trying her best to not cry.

"Illya is sorry, Illya has been a very bad girl!."

It is sometimes hard to believe that she is just a little girl of six years old. I raised my hand, as I got my finger near her forehead. 

I gave a gentle flick on her forehead, "There was nothing that troubled me. It was all fine. You weren't a bad girl, Illya is a good girl, besides Big brothers are there to handle Troublesome little sisters. I am your big brother, Right?!"

Her face changed into an expression of a little surprise, but later it turned into a bitter smile which eventually turned into an expression where she no longer could control her tear and her sobs were getting louder. 

She quickly hugged me as her sobs for crying were getting more and more louder. she cried loudly, hugging my chest. 

"I--- I am ---glad that I got to meet Big brother again"

I patted her head, for her to calm down, and also I wanted to make her feel comfortable. Eventually, her cries got silent, but she still didn't let go of me.

"Illya?"

"Yes, Big brother"

"Let's go home."

"Yes! let's go home!!" 

With those words, the monotone world started crumbling away. As the world was crumbling away like shattering glass, I starred at the far distance, where I spotted a person standing there.

She seemed to be a female. She stood showing her back against me.

Right before the world crumbled away, the female looked back as she smiled at me, it was a motherly smile.

She had violet-indigo bright eyes and she had the most beautiful face I have ever seen, she was ---

"Mom?"

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

Opening my eyes, I found myself back in the vault. There was a loud trembling and crashing sound that was really unpleasant for my ears. 

As I was regaining back my senses and consciousness the trembling sound seem to have gotten louder and louder. 

I took a look around as I was lying down and I didn't find anything major happening, except for the whole fucking vault collapsing down!!

As I was thinking that, a small rock from the ceiling fell on my forehead. 

"Ouch!!"

"Be careful big brother Grey, this room seems to be collapsing on its own."

said a girl. The girl had straight pale white hair, her eyebrows and eyelashes seemed to have the same snowy white color. She had purple indigo eyes and there was a mole right under the left side of her lips.

Basically, she was beautiful. 

But wait---

"Who are you?!" 

"Oh, it's me, Illya!! I seem to have gained a new look."

"Oh, how--- why--- You know what, never mind. We have bigger concerns right now," I said as I stood up.

"Brother you are bleeding from the forehead," said Illya pointing towards my forehead. 

"Ah, don't mind that." 

Rin came closer to me, she was panicking in particular. "Grey Grey, the room seems to be collapsing, you have a plan to escape from here right? right?"

I looked at her with a pitiful look, placing my hand over her shoulder, I said "No, I don't have any plan. I will tell you straight away, we are fucked and we are going to die here."

"Huh? what?", Rin grabbed me as she violently shook me. "What do you mean by we are doing here? I am too young to die! I don't want to die!! I wanted to become a bride!!! I wanted to have two cats and a husband. I can't die here!!! Grey!! Grey!!!"

"Sorry to you husband and two cats, they will never find their wife and owner. But you gotta just accept it, this is how life is."

"No no no, I don't want to die." she continued to shake me violently. 

Aetna came and tapped me gently as she asked, "I am feeling kind of fatigued, I used too much of my energy. Can I drink your blood or at least have the state of your blood." 

She brought her face closer to my neck, as she brought her sharper teeth out to bury them inside of me. But before she could do that, I pushed her face away saying, "No not my neck. But I can let you have tasted my blood."

I extended my hand to her, as I showed my finger saying, "You can bite into my finger and have some fresh blood."

"Grey!!! I don't want to die!!" Rin was still shaking me violently. 

"Big brother, you are bleeding from the head and Kuro wants to give you something." 

"Huh? Kuro?" 

I looked down to find Kura near my leg, she held something in her mouth. 

"Kuro!! what are you doing here?"

"Meow!!" 

Kuro brought her face closer as if she was trying to hand that thing to me. I took that thing from her, it seemed to be some kind of capsule. 

I tried to twist that capsule and found that it was openable, so I opened it and inside it, there was a small violet-colored ball. Taking it out from the capsule, I grabbed it in my hand to take a closer look at the capsule. But before I could do that, the small violet ball seeped into my skin. 

What the---- why does everything directly seep into my body. 

The trembling sound was louder than before, I looked up to find that a heavy boulder was heading our way from above. Well, I have no choice other than to use all my energy in making the last ice shield to protect us from this falling room.

I gathered all the mana in my hand, as I was going to condense an icicle shield. But before I could do that, my whole body glowed and In an instant, I found myself suspended in mid-air, from which I eventually fell down with everyone else. 

By everyone else, I am talking about Rin, Aetna, and Illya. 

I caught Illya, Kuro, and Aetna in mid-air and landed safely on the ground, well Rin fell down face first on the ground. 

"What the hell!! why didn't you catch me!!"

"Because you are too heavy."

"What did you say!!!" 

I took a look around and I was back at the exit of the room. I was in the main cave and I turned around to find that the massive door was still intact. 

Ermic was still guarding the door. 

"Oh, Ermic, ---"

"My master!!, How did you get here?"

"I don't know, I am not sure either. Maybe teleportation of some sort."

Most probably the violet ball was some sort of teleportation artifact.

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

In a far distant land, a man was seated on a throne. That man was particularly bored since nothing interesting was happening in recent times. He has been alive for thousands of years, and he seemed to have been getting bored of the current era since according to him there was nothing interesting happening in this era. 

But his boredom was soon to end, as he felt that one of his kind has been killed off. His eyes were first wide open, but later his lips curved into a smile which in turn turned into loud laughter. 

"Truly interesting!!, truly interesting!!! finally, this era is getting interesting!!! who killed my fellow god? another fellow god or perhaps someone else?!" 

His laugh was heard throughout his castle.
