"Seele! Seele!" Then her eyes were replaced with red eyes. "Greetings, Patrick. Pleased to have your... acquaintance." "Who are you? You're not Seele." "Seele and I are one. But she would rather be my host. It keeps us... separate." There's something else within the girl beyond, and it's talking to me. "She must have been the second voice in the diary entries." "Yes I am. But when you saw those lines, she proceeded to rip those pages out. She treats me as the... "unhappy" moments of her life." I knew every word she said, but I couldn't figure out what was happening.

"What are you? Are you a Stigmata or are you a Herrscher?" "I'm both. I mean, we're both those things. I am the Herrscher of Death. The 6th Herrscher out of the 14 Herrschers." I felt the anger rise inside of me. Then my eyes changed colors to gold. "No... This can't be happening... Not another Herrscher..." My voice changed into a dark voice. Then the stigmata Dragon Sign appeared too. "I also know that you are a Herrscher too. And you posses the Herrscher core of Drago. He resides within you and you became partners with him and he is not like us Herrschers and is against the Honkai." "Shut up... Shut up!... You don't know what Drago and I have been through when we fought against the other Herrschers we've encountered. We've fought against the fake copy of the Herrscher of Reason, the Herrscher of the Void, the Herrscher of Thunder, the Herrscher of Wind, and the Herrscher of Corruption. I will not go through with the Herrscher of Death either."

"I know you're in there Drago. No need to hide anymore." The illusion of him appeared next to me. "We finally meet Drago. You became partners with your host I see. Yet you chose to fight for humanity instead of destroying it. We're face to face just like you were face to face with Sirin at the tower of Babylon. Both of you are fools to come across our path. You both are worthless just like Bronya and Seele were at the orphanage."

I held my hands out then my guns appeared in my hands. "Fight me! And release Seele!" "I've struck enough nerves in you. You may try to strike me. But know that if you do. You will also hurt Seele my host." I pointed my right gun at her and hesitated to shoot. I thought about Seele's replies and chanced upon a sudden realization... "Something's not right... Go ahead, ask a critical question... Did Seele actually go to the beach with Bronya?" "No. She didn't." *POP* The bubble has burst. "I thought so. Because they were raised in Siberia and Russia in the cold winter regions with no sun and they were too far from the ocean."

"Her memories about the "Azure Waters" are false. My host feared this question. She hid herself when I asked. She hid behind Matushka, behind Bronya... and now she's hiding behind me." "Thats a lie. She's not behind you. You're controlling her body. Just like the other Herrschers when they seize control of their hosts' bodies." "I'm not. She's hiding. You know it's the truth. She hid behind the staircase, and she hid behind the toy chest."

"The staircase? Did Sin really push Bronya down the stairs?" "That's right." "The Bronya I knew would have fought back. Why didn't she?" "You should know that already. Bronya refused to fight back because of my host." "What?" "My host was kidnapped once. Bronya killed several people to rescue her. But my host, terrified of the bloodshed, called her a demon." "Bronya refuses to fight back because she didn't want to be called a demon again. She told me when Seele was kidnapped, Bronya killed the kidnappers to save Seele only for her to get scared because of the blood and knives. Bronya refused to fight back because she didn't want to be called a demon again." "It's that simple." "What about Seele's revenge? What exactly did she do to Sin? She couldn't have possible killed her or made her bleed blood or beat her up."

"Revenge? I gave it a great name: The Revenge Staircase Super Ride. I told my host that she must protect Bronya from Sin. She confronted Sin but turned out to be too lame and weak. Sin easily pinned her to the floor. That's when I took matters into my hands." I made my guns disappear then I picked the diary back up and flipped to the entry to where Seele got her revenge on Sin Mal.

"What is this place?" Asked Sin. "This is the Revenge Staircase Super Ride. Revenge for pushing Bronya down the stairs. I'll help you remember. You pushed her down the stairs... like this." "Let me go!" "How does it feel looking down at the stairs like this?" "What are you trying to do?" "Is it fun? Should I push you down the stairs as well?" "NYET! NYET!" "Woohoo! Here we go! Here we go!"

I nearly dropped the diary after finishing the entry up. I put the diary back to the side. "You possessed Seele and pushed Sin down the stairs? Like in her mind? Or a nightmare? Or her imagination?" "Metaphorically. I pushed Sin's Ego down an endless staircase for some mental torment. She broke Bronya's body. I decided to break her mind. Just remembering Sin's twisted face gets me excited. She passed out in a few rounds. What a useless toy. But that's not the point. The thing is... I found out something... something fun from Sin." "Something fun?" "An experiment. A test. X-10." "X-10? The test Bronya told me about where Seele got killed in and disappeared from the real world." "Yes. Exactly that test... Oh. Hold on. Oh, my host stopped crying. I guess I should let her talk about this. She was the one who decided to take part in the experiment. She wanted to save Bronya." I made my weapons return and pointed them back at the Herrscher. "Don't you dare run away from me you scumbag..." "Enough Patrick." Drago spoke to me. "Stand down. Let her go." "...Alright fine. But be warned Herrscher of Death. The next time we meet, I swear that Bronya and I will defeat you. I've already defeated 5 Herrschers. And I'll make sure that you get out of Seele and never cause her pain again." "We'll see about that. And I'd like to see you try." The Herrscher said before the red eyes disappeared and Seele collapsed.

"Seele!" I made the weapons disappear then Drago disappeared and my eyes returned to normal and then I rushed to Seele and picked her up.
