* Feint - My Sunset *

Raising his right hand above his head, Scott focused all of his mana in his palm as he shouted: "Cosmic Inclination, I order thee, cleanse the lands of this foul display and purify the signs of evil... COSMIC PURIFICATION!"

And with that, he snapped his fingers.

...

Recovering from the amount of energy he\'d lost, Scott seemed to have almost forgotten about the little girl in the crimson armour.

"That\'s beautiful..." Scott whispered in awe as he watched the ground fixing itself as if someone had pressed the rewind button.

"Most people claim that magic is a type of science that they don\'t fully understand yet," Raven commented and the deep voice followed. "However, that is not necessarily the case.

"Even if it\'s true that some types of magic can be understood in terms of its mana consumption and intended function, other types are not as comparable to science or anything simple for normal people to understand.

"An example would be your eyes, the Cosmic Inclination. They contain the will of the stars and can drive unlikely events against their normal course. I find it really unfortunate that you\'re lacking so much in terms of your understanding though... *sigh* how low has the universe gone?"

"Drive unlikely events?" Scott was baffled as he\'s never thought something like that was possible.

"Uhm," Raven nodded, "didn\'t you see what you just did? Even though not completely equal, in terms of probability, Chaos and Order are two sides of the same coin. Magic can be used to flip that coin, if you will. Chaos is more likely to occur as a matter of fact, but with some energy spent, Chaos can be converted back into Order.

"Think of what you did, you\'ve practically \'erased\' the effect of our little encounter, or a part of it I should say, as some small parts can not be changed by the power of mortals, even the strongest of them.

"How can I make it easier for you to understand? Hm... think of it like this; the fact that you broke the boundaries of space is like breaking a mirror. One small crack can extend to the far ends of the mirror, and as such can negatively affect other places as well as other people. For example, in some other areas of this city or county, some people must have lost their lives for your little trick."

"But how?" Scott exclaimed, "We\'ve fixed it already, didn\'t you say that?"

"You didn\'t completely fix it, no," Raven said calmly while shaking her head, "What you did was akin to putting the broken pieces back together. That doesn\'t in any way change the fact that there is still a crack in the mirror."

"I- I appreciate the explanation I guess," Scott sighed as he wasn\'t happy that some people have died while his target of revenge is having a casual conversation with him, "but why are you telling me all of this? Why are you even helping me save people from the negative effects of my own actions?" Scott knew it wasn\'t a thing the Crimson Dragon would usually do.

"Hm," Raven seemed perplexed herself, "I guess I\'m just trying to spend some more time in the outside world while I can... Also, since I can\'t break the seal, I might as well be on good terms with the kid, she\'s a pretty interesting being after all..."

"Oh, in that regard," Raven turned towards Scott before she looked at her open palms, the draconic eyes seemed to shut for a second before opening once again, "I\'d like to keep this incident between us if possible, and to ensure that, I must-" As the deep voice echoed, the space seemed to turn bright crimson, "I must ask you to form a contract with me, after all, all beings respect contracts, and those who can\'t abide with them will have to face the wrath of the Crimson...."

Scott didn\'t have time to mutter a word before the draconic eyes seemed to blur his vision and turn the world to a shade of crimson.

As he was falling to the ground unconscious, a bright crimson tattoo that looked like a dragon\'s eye lit up on the back of his palm before disappearing.

*Sigh*

Sighing softly, Raven focused her intense crimson mana in her hand before clapping them together.

Enormous crimson chains appeared out of nowhere with two girls being stranded in them.

"Ugh..." a faint painful moan escaped Kayla\'s mouth as she realised where she was now. Looking besides her, she realised there were two Ravens in her sight: One was chained midair next to her while the other was clad in crimson armour in front of her.

Needless to say, Kayla had no trouble recognising the real Raven.

"What did you do to her?" even though her eyes were still warm red from the tears she has shed, her voice was ice cold as was her gaze. "What did you do to my Raven?"

"Nice to meet you, little girl," Raven\'s voice said as the deep one echoed, "I am just an inhabitant of the kids body, the same as you. Apologies for the misunderstanding, I didn\'t mean for both of you to be chained instead of me. I still am not sure how the seal works just yet, but apparently, someone must be bound to the chains at any given moment. I-"

"Cut the crap," Kayla\'s eyes shone with a spark of rage, "this isn\'t your body so go ahead and let Raven take it back!" without realising, a dark purple aura seemed to flare around her, almost corrupting the chains. What was interesting was that the aura seemed to have small microcircuits inside of it, giving the illusion of electricity and neon lights swirling inside.

"Interesting..." the voice muttered, "I haven\'t seen one of your kind in so long, let alone as young as you, Cyber Valkyrie..."

Kayla blinked once as the voice was muttering what seemed like nonsense to her. "Did you not hear me?" she said as her rage was about to spill out.

But before the voice could even answer, a blinding radiant covered the entire area as the crimson chains binding Raven were shattered to pieces.

Out of the radiant storm of white, Raven walked with sparkling bright aura covering her frame.

Looking at her body in the draconic armour and Kayla still stranded by the chains made her furrow her eyebrows.

Tilting her head to the side seemed to produce a loud crack. Kayla was afraid for a second since she thought Raven had broken her neck somehow. But she soon realised that the crack noises were coming from the chains that were binding her.

Widening her eyes and realising that the real Raven was standing in front of her made her tear up again as she jumped at her, hugging her tightly.

"Thank goodness," Raven muttered in a calm manner as she hugged Kayla\'s shaking body back, "in my moment of despair, I thought you had abandoned me... I\'m so sorry, even though it sounds so wrong to think about, but I\'m glad you were chained as well rather than just fine somewhere else..."

"I\'d- *sniff* I\'d never leave you... ever *sniff*"

"I\'m sorry, I know you wouldn\'t, please forgive my insolent self."

"Well, that\'s rather interesting," Raven heard her voice mutter as the \'voice\' echoed after, "you\'ve somehow managed to break the chains restraining me to you..."

"Not so fast though," real Raven said, "I may have broken the seal, but that doesn\'t mean you\'re free to go your way."

\'He said I have about a thirty seconds, Hm, should be enough I guess...\' Raven thought to herself before her pupils changed from gold to blinding white, similar to the aura around her.

"You\'re the Monarch of Contracts aren\'t you?" Raven asked as her white aura flared even brighter.

"Some call me that, but-"

"Don\'t bother, I don\'t really care, you imprisoned me and Kay inside a soul draining prison and now you expect to run away with my body? Think again!"

"Soul draining?" the voice seemed rather confused before the draconic eyes seemed to shine in recognition, "I\'ve been in there for so long that I\'ve forgotten the real purpose of that prison. Apologies, it must have been harsh for mortals like yourselves, I\'m even surprised you didn\'t lose your souls inside now that I think about it... but I assure you it wasn\'t my intentions.

"As a show of my goodwill, I will not resist if you try to seal me again," the voice said calmly, "after all, now that I had a little bit of freedom, I came to remember how boring an immortal life can get, so I really don\'t mind being bound to you again, and hopefully you\'ll be able to show me the truth of this world... It is after all the mystery I\'ve been seeking answers for for so long."

Raven found it rather weird that the voice was basically saying sorry you might punish me for my bad deeds but she didn\'t care much. She wanted her body back and she was going to take it back.

"Radiance of the Primordial Dragon of Light!" muttered Raven as light condescend forming two halos behind her.

Out of them, light extended and seemed to shine brighter than the stars, covering the entire area in Raven\'s radiant energy.

...

"Phew..." sighing in relief as she opened her eyes to see herself in her real body, Raven hugged herself tightly.

"I\'m so sorry to have doubted you, Kay, I\'m so so-" before she got to finish her words, she felt two arms hugging her. No, not her arms.

"Eh?" exclaimed Raven in confusion as she opened her eyes and was surprised to see Kayla hugging her. "But this is my real body, I\'m not in soul form still, am I?" She wondered because everything felt so real, yet Kayla normally doesn\'t have a body so how is she-

"No," Kayla shook her head, "It\'s just that- I- I am here-" Kayla couldn\'t even finish her sentence as she started crying again.
