Currently, everyone is outside heading their separate ways
Sukuna: You know what you have to do uraume?
Uraume: *bows* Yes, sukuna, me, and Rem will head to the crusch-sama camps mansion to pick up the rest of the villagers
Sukuna nods, though truth Be told, he will miss having uraume by his side, but he doubts anything will happen
Emilia: *grabs sukuna hand* Are you ready, sukuna?
Sukuna: Yea, let's go and see ya when we return rem
Rem: *pouts* Yes, sukuna
After a little bit more talking, they started heading to the sanctuary, though before they did, rem gave her a necklace that was from roswaal only for him to take it and say he will hold onto it
TIMESKIP
When they were halfway there, sukuna saw Emilia asleep, so he took this as a chance to see the necklace
Sukuna: *inspects the necklace he is holding in his hand* (It may look ordinary to the untrained eye, but since coming here and making sure I can sense magic with my cursed energy, this necklace has a spell which I don't know of)
Sukuna sighed, knowing any further inspecting would do nothing since he could not use magic or understood their spell system that well to check which type of spell is inside of it
Sukuna closed his eyes and started meditating to pass the time
But after 20 minutes, Emilia woke up and asked
Enilia: Are we there yet?
Sukuna: *opens his eyes* No, not yet
Emilia: Oh sukuna, sorry if I woke you!
Sukuna: * puts his arm around her* I wasn't asleep. I was meditating
Emilia: *blushes* I-I see, but is it important to meditate?
Sukuna: Not really, but you could if you wanted to increase your control over cursed energy
Emilia: * puts her head on his shoulder* Maybe I will try it when we get back
When they finished, there conversation they enjoyed the peace and quiet of the trip
After another hour, they crossed through a barrier, which made everyone pass out besides sukuna, which alerted him only for the necklace to glow and teleport him away from everyone
When he appears again, he sees he is the forest falling from the sky only to superhero land, avoiding a nasty fall
Sukuna: *gets up* Where am I?
Sukuna looks around and sees a tomb with a little girl going in it
Sukuna: *sighs* (Why does all the weird sh*t happen to me?)
After a couple minutes, he arrives at the tomb and sees bodies he doesn't recognize
Sukuna: (Are these supposed to be the bodies of the witches? Or are these bodies of other people?)
Sukuna remembered when he was first at the mansion. He looked around the forbidden library and saw a couple of books talking about how the sanctuary was the resting ground for the witches
Sukuna: (If these are them, then how are there body's not rotting?)
He decides to just shrug it off and head inside the tomb, knowing he won't get answers
When he heads inside, he expects a place that smells like death only to be in a field of grass
Sukuna: (Is this also a type of magic?)
Sukuna looks around and sees a girl sipping tea only, so he decides to walk over to her
When he gets in front of her, she places her tea down and smiles at him
Echidna: *smiles* Welcome to the shadow garden it nice to finally meet you, king of curses
Sukuna forze for a second
Sukuna: (she has been watching me since the beginning or maybe only at the mansion, and I didn't sense her! I need to stay alert)
He sits down on the only other seat and looks at her
Echidna: Well, are you not going to sip the tea that I prepared for you?
Sukuna: *looks at it for a second only to drink it*
After he finishes, she looks at him, surprised,
Echidna: *surprised* You know most people would be cautious to not drink a tea they do not know
Sukuna: *sets the cup down* Most people would, but I am immune to all poisons, so if it was, I wouldn't die
She looked surprised since she didn't know that only for him to continue
Sukuna: I also can tell you want something from me so you wouldn't just try to kill me
Echidna: *blushes* My~, you really exceeded my expectations!
Sukuna: How about we make a binding vow so none of us can lie?(I am curious about some things, but I know she is a person similar to the old me, to use people for my own goals)
Echidna: That sounds like a good idea!
After they make a binding vow, sukuna asks the first question
Sukuna: My first question is, why did you bring me here?
Echidna: Well, I wanted to meet you, and I want to make a contract with you
He looked at her a little, surprised that she could do that
Sukuna: I see. Maybe the next time I meet you, I will make one with you
Echidna: *a little disappointed* I see. Well, my next question is, why did you go down that path?
Sukuna: Path? Do you mean why I became this?
Echidna nods
Sukuna: I see, well the the easiest answer is I wanted to. You see, most people have a reason they wanted to become strong, but I didn't. I just wanted strength, destruction, and fighting strong opponents
Echidna: Hmmm, very interesting ryomen sukuna, you are the first person I can not truly understand.
Sukuna: My next question is, what did you put in my tea?
Echidna: it was part of my witch factor, so you could understand the information I would give!
Sukuna nodded
Echidna: Now ask any more questions you want
Sukuna: You don't want to ask another question?
Echidna: *shakes her head* No, that was the only question I really had
Sukuna: I see. Well, I have only one more question. What is roswaal planning?
Echidna: I will let you figure that out sukuna after all, it shouldn't affect you at all.
Sukuna: *sighs* Alright *gets up* Well, I am going then
Echidna: Wahhhh! Wait, wait! What about the contract!?
Sukuna: Next time we meet, I will have decided if I want to or not
Echidna: *calms down and sighs* All right, and you don't even want to know more about the trials?
Sukuna: No, like you said, no matter what these trials will throw, at me, I will always be prepared (The only reason I know about these trials is from Emilia)
Echidna: I see. Well, until we meet again, my king~.
After saying that, she snaps her fingers, and a portal opens up, which sukuna leaves through with Echidna staring at the portal with one last thought
Echidna: (I wonder what the future pretells about you since no matter how hard I looked, I couldn't see your future)
