Seele woke up and I let her stand up. "Seele..." "Patrick..." "What's going on? Why are you trapped there on your own? How did the Herrscher of Death get inside you? Where did you get the Herrscher of Death Stigmata from? And why did the Honkai choose you to be the Herrscher of Death?" "Because I took part in the X-10 test. I found out about X-10 from Sin. I don't know how the Herrscher of Death got inside me. And I don't know where I got the Stigmata from or why the Honkai chose me... What about you? Are you a Herrscher too?" "I am. But Drago the Herrscher of the Dragon is not like any of the other Herrschers. He is a good Herrscher that fights for humanity and is partners with me. Anyways, what really happened during the X-10 test? Bronya told me about it but you must know more details then her. What happened?" "Well..." I opened the diary up and got to the entry of the X-10 test.

Seele's Point of View: "Matushka, please tell me the truth about the X-10 experiment! Bronya and Sin are in it!" I shouted. "X-10 experiment? Did Bronya tell you about this? No matter. You have a right to know what's going on. The X-10 experiment aims to achieve 100% Honkai adaptability. You'll become a new breed of the human race. Bronya has very high Honkai resistance. We selected her to take part in the test." Explained Cocolia. "But what happens if the X-10 experiment fails? Will Bronya die?" "Even if the experiment fails, we can still learn more about the Honkai. Please understand. Bronya knows this. She's taking the test so that more of us can survive this world." "Bronya... she did this for me... I... I understand Matushka. But I know there's someone better suited for X-10." I pulled down my blouse to reveal the mark on my chest.

"What? The Honkai alarms are going off! Can this be... a true stigma? I thought it's only a myth! This must be why she could control and hide such high levels of Honkai within her." "Matushka, please let Seele take Bronya's place in the X-10 experiment."

My point of view: "A stigma? Like the ones Valkyries are given? The natural type? Similar to Drago and a few other stigma?" I asked. Then the Herrscher of Death took control of Seele again. "I'll explain. They etched memories into this stigma eons ago and made me... ...I was transcribed to human genetic memory to help transfer our knowledge, powers, and... ...eternal hatred of Gods known as the Honkai."

"Drago are you understanding any of this?" I asked. "I am. Humans etched memories into human test subjects to turn them into stigmata to transfer knowledge and powers into Valkyries, Knights, Executors, and other types of fighter that uses Honkai powered battle suits." Answered Drago.

"I'm the perfect candidate. I will master my powers and the Honkai. I will take Bronya's place. I will let Bronya live happily ever after. So long as the experiment succeeds." Explained Seele.

"What happened? Did it succeed or fail? Even if it was one of them, you still disappeared into nothingness and ended up here. So what happened?" I asked. "... Bronya looked for Matushka when she couldn't find me. But Matushka was gone as well. That was because Matushka and I went to the X-10 labs under The Sea of Okhotsk. If the experiment works, I'll be able to manipulate matter at the atomic... or even sub-atomic levels. I don't know what she said. But I was happy that I took Bronya's place. I didn't care what happens to me. The experiment started." Explained Seele. I continued to read through the entry.

Seele's point of view: "My body... it hurts... it hurts so much. It felt as though my body was burning up. All was white. I saw Bronya right before me... if I just stretched out my hand... I was so close... I could almost touch her... But something kept her away from me. Bronya opened our toy chest and sat inside. I always hid inside this chest when I was scared. But I hesitated before opening it..." "I warned you. You lacked the powers to control the thing inside this chest." The Herrscher of Death spoke. "But if I open it, I would complete the experiment and save Bronya." "So you opened the chest anyway. For 0.8 seconds after opening the chest, everyone, including yourself, thought you succeeded."

Patrick halted and spoke. "But you didn't. That's why your trapped in that place." He said. "..." Seele didn't speak but the Herrscher of Death did. "That's true. Your body gradually disappeared before you could celebrate." "Disappeared?" Patrick asked. "Your body couldn't contain the powers within the chest... Seele... you'll be gone from this world. But I agreed to lend you power and help you see Bronya one last time. Time to leave this lab." Patrick went back into the diary.

"The lab is in the depths of the azure waters. I finally saw the sea. "Your eyes Seele... they're just like the sea itself." That's what he said when I asked her to describe the sea for me. Bronya? Where are you? I felt my body changed. I don't know how, and neither did I care. I felt cannon shells pounding my back, but I didn't care. I knew I was running out of time, but I didn't care about that either. There was only one thing on my mind. I must find Bronya. I want to see the sea with her."
