Floating.

The thin consciousness floats in a place where nothing can be felt and nothing exists.

Who am I? Why am I here? What is this place?

…Thinking cannot be sustained and consciousness is constantly disintegrating.

It's over, it's gone, there's nothing left.

"——Good boy."

Is it a sound? Is it a thought? Or is it a false illusion?

"Do you have any wish that you want to fulfill?"

What is the wish...?

What do I want? No...what am I now?

"Ah, you can't think like this. Then——"

——It’s flame.

It was a pale blue flame that was completely different from the common sense in memory, a vague and illusory one.

I truly "felt" the warmth that seemed to be the origin of life...and the senses of "seeing" and "hearing" seemed to be reconnected with consciousness.

…But what exactly is that flame?

"——What a lovely and good child."

——Where is this place?

Although the memory is still vague, the consciousness seems to have become clearer.

And I also saw some things again and heard some voices.

"Get out of the way, sister! Don't stop us! We're going to kill all those damn humans!"

"Calm down! He's about to awaken... If you run over now, everything will be messed up! And if he really dies, the whole planet will be buried with him!"

"The planet's affairs have nothing to do with us! That little girl is already dead! We don't want to stand here and watch that child die again!"

Two women in black headscarves are arguing...but who are they?

For whom are they anxious and worried, and what do they want to do?

"Good boy, do you still remember who you are?"

——The memory is still a mess.

Am I a human being? No, I am just a thinking mist.

However, I seem to still remember...there are indeed some things I want to do.

"Oh, don't worry if you can't remember. Go check on the others."

Why go see other people?

Ah, my "eyes" did see something again.

...But, are those intense flashes of light lightning?

“Xian, Sage! Please! Don’t, don’t do it here! Academy…”

"...I know. I have already made an agreement with you, and I have already...made an agreement with him."

The old man kneeling on the ground begging, and the woman crying silently...who are they?

What is the old man praying for? Why is the woman sad?

Also, why did I just want to apologize to that woman when I saw her?

"Do you remember? Or do you want to see the others?"

——Who am I?

This should be a very important thing, because I really have the urge to recall it now.

But before that, I should look at something else.

"Why... why can you still stand up, you monster? Go to hell... go to hell!"

"Well... forget it."

The pitch-black beast and the young magician were constantly tearing apart a man's body with brute force and magic.

But even if his limbs were bent, his back was shattered, or he was being burned by flames and corroded by poisons, that man would still stand up again under the shining golden light.

Because behind him, a celestial sphere surrounded by a star disk was floating next to a woman who seemed to be sleeping peacefully, protecting her with the light it emitted.

——Ah, that is…

"Do you remember?"

Of course I have realized...the sleeping woman should be myself who has died.

Why did this happen? Why did it end like this?

No, what I care about more is... actually the man who stands up again and again even when his body is cut and pierced.

"Hey, who is that person?"

——I can’t remember.

However, that person must be the most important person to you.

Although I have no memories, I can still feel that I don't want to be separated from that person.

I want to talk to him again, to look at his face, to walk with him holding his hand, to hug his body...

"Is this your wish?"

——I want to fly with him.

Even if I don't have wings, I still want to fly into the sky with him.

If one day I lose my strength and fall to the ground, I hope to turn into soil with him.

...But I no longer have this opportunity.

"Good boy, good boy, then answer me - do you want to stand in front of him and guide him forward, or stand behind him and follow his footsteps?"

——Before, or after?

No…I don’t want to be a leader, nor do I want to be a follower.

All I want is to stay by his side and move forward with him.

No matter it is adventure, frustration, failure or suffering, as long as I can bear it with him, he won't have to show a sad expression anymore.

"Is this really your only wish?"

——I don’t want to leave like this.

If I really have to make a wish, I only hope... that I don't have to be separated from that person again.

I hope he won't be sad because of losing anything anymore.

"He once changed your destiny."

——I have completely forgotten about it.

But...I must have been very happy at that time.

So, did I forget to share this happiness with him before?

"So this time, go and change his fate."

——Can destiny really be changed?

Since my own destiny has been changed, then that person's destiny can definitely be changed as well, right?

If possible, this time I want to fight alongside him...

"Yes, yes——I did hear your wish."

——So, I...I want to realize my wish.

"You are the kind, honest and lovely child that I have been watching. You are certainly entitled to have your wish fulfilled."

Ah, I can now see it, the blue fire that seems to come from the origin -

"I will fulfill your wish."

Now I remember who I am and what my name is.

"So listen to the prayer - I am the embodiment of rebirth and origin, the watcher of the dawn."

I want to go back to that person.

"I, [Cang Shan Yi], Fei ■■ Ya ■ Hua, hereby grant you the name "Cang". "

Ah, it is... a warm flame—

"Good boy - this time, you must stay with him till the end."

■■■

"We won't say that again, sister. Now get out of the way! Or we'll take you—"

“If you do that, then I’ll have to too—wait! How come all the branches of fate are suddenly…interfering with the higher powers?! Why now?!”

"Ah... Sister, look, those star powers have become sacrifices."

——The two women who were arguing fiercely suddenly calmed down at the same time.

"They actually forcibly erased all the possibilities that had already been established... This is too much! I have never heard of throwing a meteorite down to smash the entire downstream area in order to rescue a drowning person from the river!!"

"But this kind of thing happened... Well, it was probably just a whim of a certain master's wife."

——Then, the two of them soon saw countless black feathers floating from the sky like snowflakes.

Those dreamlike feathers would ignite with blue flames the moment they landed on the ground... In the blink of an eye, the entire world before their eyes was completely ignited by the illusory blue flames.

"Even a predetermined fate can be rewritten... This is totally unreasonable."

——And that is the true fire of Nirvana.
