CHAPTER 1:
Multiverse Brings our Heroes to Meet
. . .
“Mhm…. W-where am I….?” Aria opened her sky blue eyes, groaning in pain as if she hit a stone wall. Suddenly, a female with an energetic voice was heard in front of her. "Heya! Welcome to the Outrealms, friend!” Slowly gazing up, Aria saw a young, teen girl with peachy skin, pale brown hair which tied in twin-tails, and light blue eyes, staring down at her with a bright smile. “GAH!” Aria stood sitting up as she backs up a bit with a shocking face. “W-WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!?!”
"J-jeez! I'm sorry, um...Miss whatever your name is!!" The young, teen girl folded her arms with slight disappointment and averted her gaze; but nonetheless, she decided to let her actions pass. She surely would have done the same if she were in her position. "Ahem...I'm Aika, the youngest Princess of Plegia; the third heir to the throne. I...apologize for frightening you, ma'am." Aika smiled to herself, knowing that she nailed off her whole 'formality' introduction she always had to say whenever she met someone. “O-oh… I… I’m Aria, Transcendent and protector of Light. It’s nice to meet you… Your Highness.”
Aika blinked a few times before responding. Sure, she's been called 'Princess' or 'Milady' plenty of times; but she's never been called 'Your Highness', something that was completely new and awkward for her. "H-hey, there's no need to go that far with formalities…! I may be royalty, but it's not like I'll become queen tomorrow!" She giggled at her own joke. "Just call me Aika."
“I-if you say so… S-sorry, it just that I was with my friends and then everything turned black. As if darkness just swallowed me up.” Aria shuttered her words a bit, making her feel very unpleasant to this new world. Aika's eyes widened with shock. "The same thing happened to me too! I was with my older siblings, and then…" She paused, trying to recall the events before she was summoned to the new world. "Everything went dark, like what happened to you."
"I-I see…"
"Speaking of which, uhm...What's the Transcendent and Protector of Light…?" Aika asked with curiosity as Aria sighs. “I’m a protector of light, who protects people's hearts from turning into darkness. Well… As for the Transcendent part… It means Child of God.” Aika’s jaws went wide open. "W-wow… You're definitely more important than me," She muttered, nervously laughing. "Eheheh...heh…"
"Why are you laughing nervously like that?” Aria asked Aika. Aika sighed, averting her gaze. "I-it's a bit of a long story if you're up for it," Aria gave her a small smile. “I have time.”

~Miku, Kiran & Sienna’s Meeting~
. . .
"Agh!" Miku screamed as her head came tumbling toward the lush green grassy ground, with her eyes closed shut. "Oww…!!" She lightly touched her head with her left hand, making sure that she was still 'intact'. Miraculously, there was another girl who witnessed her commotion. "Uhh." She blinked a few times before heading over toward the stranger. “Are… Are you alright?” She spoke with a concerned tone in her voice. “Y-yeah… Yeah, I am!” Miku slowly stood up from the ground as she dusted the dirt from her beautiful black-ish blue clothing.
"Oh gods," Miku muttered, observing her surroundings. "Where the hell did I take a nap this time? This definitely is not a field…" She gazed around a few more times before facing back toward the stranger. “Umm… This is not a dream… It’s a reality.” She spoke with truthness that filled up in her words. “W-WHAAAATTT???!!!??” Miku screamed, making the other girl covered her ears with both of her hands. “C-CALM DOWN!” She yelled back at her with the same amount of noise. "S-sorry, maybe I misunderstood you…?!" Miku asked with uncertainty, with a hint of anxiousness.
