CHAPTER 85: INTRODUCTION OF PASTTENTION (P5) {LAST PART}
Silvana leans forward, curiosity sparkling in her eyes.
Silvana:
"Hmmm… so NOW are you going to tell us?"
Hanuri jumps in place like a kid full of sugar.
Hanuri (bouncy):
"YUPPIEES! But not in a simple way~ 😚😚"
Ixia narrows her eyes, her cluelessness fighting with logic.
Ixia:
"So… what kind of 'different way'…?"
Hanuri puts a finger on her lips, grinning like a mischievous fairy.
Hanuri:
"Sooo, instead of telling you knowledge about myself,
I'll create a crystal of ice with my mind.
When you touch it, you fall unconscious and see my past!
Like those anime moments where they DON'T EXPLAIN — they just drop a FLASHBACK!"
Ixia freezes.
Ixia (thinking):
WHAT!!!? But… Pasttentions are EXTREMELY RARE!
There are only a FEW in history…
D-don't tell me… she is one of them?!
Ixia (out loud):
"Hmmm… can you please show us? I'm VERY curious to know you more."
Hanuri nods with adorable excitement.
Hanuri:
"Okayyy! Here!"
She steps forward and stands in a ritual-like pose.
Arms stretched out at her sides.
Feet steady.
Air vibrating around her.
Hanuri chants:
"ZHINK SHINK KANG MEN TARA SU KETRO!"
A violet glow forms in her palms.
It grows brighter by the minute_
no, by each second.
FLASH! BOOOM!
A burst of unimaginable power spreads across the room.
Silvana stumbles backward, eyes wide.
Silvana (thinking):
This power… WHAT EVEN IS THIS!?
Ixia also feels the shockwave but grips her chest, confused.
Ixia (thinking):
H-HUH!!? WHAT IS THIS!?
Flux being special is understandable…
HE WAS BORN DIFFERENT.
But HER!? How is she using power like THIS!?
The light fades.
Two crystals hover gently in front of them.
They look normal_
but even a normal human would sense it:
These crystals are terrifying.
Unnatural.
Ancient.
Dangerous.
Hanuri, meanwhile, acts like she summoned candy.
Hanuri (happy dappy):
"Yoiiii~! Touch these crystals and you'll see my past!"
Silvana gulps.
Silvana:
"Ixia… are you sure this is safe?"
Ixia:
"I-I don't know… but… let's try. We'll never know unless we do."
Silvana breathes deeply.
Silvana:
"O-okay. Here goes…"
They both reach out.
The crystals sink into their hands like liquid light.
Both girls freeze in shock_
Then collapse.
THUMP. THUMP.
Unconscious.
Hanuri yawns, stretching like a sleepy cat.
Hanuri:
"Hehe~ have a nice trip. I'll sleep too while you learn about me."
She lies down and instantly falls asleep.

Scene Reopens
A new world.
A new time.
A new past.
Ixia and Silvana stand in a glowing realm_
but their bodies are invisible.
Just souls.
No one can see or hear them.
Silvana:
"Okay… let's see what she's hiding."
Ixia:
"Yeah… let's begin."
