Second.

huh? whuh? huuuuhhhh?????

———

I remember crossing a bridge.

When I crossed it, I caught glimpses of memories that I've had in my life.

I saw the memory of when I got a birthday present from my parents. It didn't satisfy me for too long, though.

I saw the memory of when I met Ray for the first time. She saved me from my own happiness. She saved me from my own foolishness. She saved me from...the luminous sky.

I saw the memory of when I met Axium for the first time. His vines scared me at first, but it wasn't for too long.

I saw the memories I had with Mr. Mantis, Lucas, Hydra, Relentless, and Galactic. They're the people who understood me the most aside from Ray and Axium, and I'm grateful for that fact.

I thought that would be the end, and what awaits at the other side of the bridge...would be an eternal peace.

But no.

That was not what I saw.

Instead, what I saw at the end of the bridge...

Was a face that seemed so foreign, yet so familiar.

"You found me, Strike."

"Wha...?"

Ether- no, Strike looked at the girl before him in shock. Why is he even shocked? He has never seen this girl before. Maybe the shock came from how unexpected this meeting is, or maybe there's more to her than what meets the eye.

"Who...who are you?" Strike asked, confusion clear in his tone of voice and all over his facial expression as he points a finger at the girl. "Hm? Me? Why, I'm Ether Second. Just call me Second to avoid confusion." The girl answered calmly, smiling.

"Huh? Ether Second? But- but my name is also Ether in a way!" Strike exclaimed in even more confusion. So many questions, so many answers. He could think of one question but-

But he's just overwhelmed right now.

"People with the same name exist, Strike." Second said nonchalantly, her smile gone, replaced with a blank expression. That somewhat threw Strike off. "A-ah, well, y-yes, but still." He said, before finally composing himself. "Why...why do you look so similar to me?"

"Because we're related in a way." Second answered instantly, which caught Strike off-guard, but he appreciated getting a super early answer. "I don't recall having a sibling, though." He spoke. "Yeah, that's because we're not related in that way, Strike." Second replied, before giggling. It's funny seeing Strike like this, filled with so much confusion, yet managing to try to dig into the situation a little more. It's fun to watch, to say the least.

"Then...what relation do we have?" Strike asked. "Hmm...you have the Star Guide heritage, am I wrong?" It was Second's turn to ask, and Strike's only answer is an unsure nod. "Well, I also have that heritage too. We were specifically created to compliment each other." Second continued her explanation, before smiling gently at the boy.

"Oh..." That was the only thing that came out of Strike's mouth before he went silent, slowly processing the information given to him. That is, until he realized something.

Where even is he?

"Ah, wait, Second, do you...know where we are?" Strike asked again, startling the girl a little bit. "Huh? Oh, we're in the Realm of the Almighty—or at least a faction of it. I mostly reside here if I really want to, but I'd go out of my way to visit the Gods, though that's on rare occasions." She explained, occasionally looking to the side and then back at Strike.

"Hmm...ah, wait. Our time is almost up." Second suddenly announced. The tone in her voice indicates that she isn't happy about that fact. "Huh? I thought I could stay here for as long as I want..." Strike said sadly, though what he said did cracked Second up a little bit.

"Pfft- oh shut up! Haha!" Second laughed, and then she stopped. "I think it's best if I send you back now. Who knows? Maybe some of your friends and relatives are worried about you."

"Well, if you say so." Strike said, but then he felt a pain in his chest. No, it's not a heart attack. It's not anything physical. He just suddenly felt...sad.

He didn't know why, but tears were already pouring down from his eyes. He didn't know why. He really didn't know why. He didn't know why he was so sad to just...part ways with Second.

It's as if he isn't complete without her.

The girl noticed this, and offered a hug. "H-huh? O-oh. N-no...I...I think I'll be—" Before Strike could even finish his sentence, however, Second already pulled him into a hug.

It's warm here, he thought, and he felt himself cry even more.

———

"Second half? Second? Second???"

The questions Hydra threw at the boy made Ether absolutely annoyed. "Yes...! I'm really serious! I wasn't high! I wasn't having a fever dream! I wasn't out of my mind!" He exclaimed in affirmation, desperately trying to get everyone in the room with him right now to believe him.

After all, it actually did happened! He wasn't dreaming, right?

...

Right...?

"Haha, very interesting. I might need to look into people like you a little more, Ether." Mantis spoke up. Another goal to accomplish, typical Mantis. Ether only sighed and looked up at the ceiling.

Maybe someday he and Second will meet again.

I finally figured out what style i wanna do for the comic :DD

been a while since I've posted and since I've last worked on this but that's cuz I've been debating on what style to go with and I've decided on my traditional style which is no coloring and just Inking and lots of cross hatching (Rip my thumb) with the occasional pop of color to give emphasis especially on the eyes.

also now that im describing my artstyle in traditional is I just realized it's basically just manga but eh.

Also first page done \(⁠ ⁠＾⁠ω⁠＾ )/ WOOOHHH! I'm not ready to go back to school _(´ཀ`」 ∠) _

Also thank @tornoleander for giving me more references of the interior of Nadakhan's quarters really helped a lot
