A girl's voice crying from the darkness. The darkness slowly turns into a burning village and a small girl with purple hair, wearing a dark blue dress, and black shoes standing in the middle of the village crying while surrounded by dozens of dead bodies
Little girl: "MAMA! PAPA!" she sobs
A man with white clothes walks in front of her
Man: "What is wrong little one?"
Little girl: "I can't find mama and papa" she wipes her eyes
Man: "Do you want me to take you to them?"
The little girl looks up at the man's face revealing her purple eyes "r-really?"
The man's upper face is covered by darkness but the little girl can see his mouth
Man: "Of course" he puts his right hand on her hand "just close your eyes and count to three, don't be afraid"
The little girl closes her eyes "O-Ok" she sobs "One....two"
The man smiles
Little girl: "Three"
Veins form on the man's hand and blood shoots into the air
Akemi's eyes opens suddenly and he sits up quickly while panting heavily "what the" he looks around as he notices a hospital room "a hospital?" he looks to his left and sees himself in a mirror with bandages around his head, torso, arms and legs. "How did I even get here?" he looks to his left and sees and little girl holding his left hand while sleeping "This kid"
The little girl's eyes twitch and she opens them slowly then looks at Akemi
Little girl: "PAPA!" she smiles widely and jumps on Akemi hugging him around his neck
Akemi: "Papa? Um" he looks at her "I'm not sure who you are talking about but my name is Akemi...what's your name?" He grabs her by her sides with both his hand and sits her down in front of him
The little girl tilts her head to the left
A window appears over her head
Window: "Unique being
Name: ???
Race: Dryad
Sex: Female
Description: Born from the essence of the rift boss"
Akemi: "What a dryad?" He looks at the little girl "is this the reward the system meant?...this is..." he sighs
Little girl: "Papa?"
Akemi: "No no, just call me Akemi, papa is a bit much"
The little girl shakes her head no
Akemi: "No? Why not?"
The girl points to Akemi with her left hand "Papa!"
Akemi: "Not papa, Akemi"
Little girl: "Papa!"
Akemi sighs and puts his right hand on his forehead "fine call me whatever"
The little girl smiles then the door opens
Kumiko and Kai walks into the room
Akemi looks at the door "you guys"
Kumiko smiles "you're awake"
