Warrior 01 started moving in different directions hoping for any guides but there was nothing, her head started to hurt her from stress and exhaustion.

Her self started to get shaken and was about to give up for a while to recover but something squeezed her heart unable her from doing so, it was as if something was warning her to not rest, scaring her from the idea of stopping.

After few more rounds she started to wonder what in heavens has been happening to her and why she chose to do something this crazy.

Warrior 01 did know it won't be something easy since it's connected to her inner self, the part she didn't want to deal with, the part she didn't want to see what's hidden deeper in it, but she didn't expect things to be this horrible inside herself.

She gasped when something flashed that she started trembling, a memory glowed right in front of her terrified eyes, as badly she wanted to shut them but she couldn't, because of someone invisible holding them open and forcing her to keep looking.

"Look. Look and remember" a heavy yet weak voice whispered to her, it held her eyes open while tears streamed down her cheeks and her chokes slowly getting louder.

"Please, p- Pl- Please e- Enou- Gh" her words broke down while her body kept trembling and tears falling faster like waterfalls.

Above, System 0 kept walking through the room aimlessly his worries increasing, until he heard her moan, he jolted but he collected himself before he walked to her and stared at her not knowing what to do.

When he finally collected himself, he started shaking her and even slapped her cheeks just to wake up, but she didn't. Her eyes started watering and System 0 got more and more worried, he was planning to contact Cleo but dark tentacles came out from her left side, they were glowing with the warning color, red, which got System 0's fears to reach its limit, "please wake up" he mumbled hopelessly.

Warrior 01 was still crying and begging the thing holding her still to let her go, asking it to stop because she got enough but it still kept repeating the same memory over and over again.

While looking around the screen, she saw something moving in it, the thing moving was black and fast but she managed to catch it. When she saw it, she remembered the dark mana, "you, you were there that day" she mumbled.

"What?" The thing holding her eyes open asked its smile slowly vanishing.

"That day. You. Were. There" her eyes turned dark and anger was clear on her face. The dark thing let go of her eyes while she slowly turned to face it, it trembled and was about to run away but it couldn't, "Hymn of the Light, stage two" she mumbled before strikes of light fallen on them and hit the dark thing.

It screeched and tried to ran away but Warrior 01 followed it and stabbed it with Ankh's light making it vanish. Slowly her eyes opened and when she looked around and was about to say anything, she couldn't because of the whole thing that happened to her, so she was unable to move a finger nor speak but System 0 saved her the energy and time.

"Cleopatra!!" Oh God how glad I am you woke up, he helped to sit properly before he gave her some water to drink.

"For how long was I out?"

"For three days" LU said from the side, Audrey was beside him and filling a bucket with her tears.

Warrior 01 stared into the distance and remained like that until she decided to finally ask them, "what do you know about the dark mana? Are there any sources I can use to study it to could control it?"
