A sting ricocheted up through your palms as your body collided with the floor. You chest heaved as you felt sweat run down your bare back. The skin of your torso pressed to the cold steel floor, and fluorescent lighting flashed through your eyelids, causing your head to spin.

Your only thought was to escape. The sterile white wall wasn't difficult to scale, and you punched through the glass window with ease. You heard cries of terror, but disregarded them as you took in the scene around you. As you made your way to the man who seemed to be highest ranked official, decorated in gold and silver pins, you slowly deciphered the language he was speaking. He made to run away, but you held him by his shoulder as your mind calculated, somewhat distracted by the flailing, screaming bodies, the flashing red lights, the small pellets of iron barrelling into your side. You took in a breath, finally adjusted to his native tongue.

"Where are the rest of my people?"

Once you had made your way out of the underground laboratory and into the cool desert night, your head cleared and your memories came flooding back. You gasped as you remembered all that had come before the deep sleep.

"I don't need you anymore. You are beneath me!" A jolt of pain. You cried out as you gripped your stinging cheek.

"You were happy! We were both happy, don't lie to me!" He hissed in frustration at you words.

"Even if I was, I–"

"You loved me!" You suddenly cut him off, eyes streaming tears with sobs shook your chest. "I still love you..." This came out as a faint whisper. He snarled maliciously.

"Love is not power. Love is not victory. Love is nothing." He spat in your face. "It may have been a pleasant fantasy when we were innocent children, but now... I am the one who will be victorious in the end. I will win." You gazed up into those dark eyes that had so often been filled with tenderness and compassion. But now they were filled with rage, arrogance, and... pain.

"Wamuu, you know what to do." His loyal servant tightened his grip on your wrists as he dragged you away. You didn't even resist as led you through the labyrinth of tunnels and caves, accepting your inevitable death. But you reached the end of the cavern, and Wamuu paused. He released the chains that held you.

"Sleep," he commanded you. You stared up at him in shock. "I won't kill you. I can't obey this order," he clenched his fists in frustration. "But you're only choice is to sleep here. Come out when you're safe, come out when his temper has lessened. Please."

That was the last that you remembered. You wondered if it was in fact time. If Kars had somehow changed. But the information you had strangled out of the humans' leader had suggested otherwise.

Weeks passed as you gathered intelligence about the rest of the so called 'Pillar Men'. Fitting in as a human was somewhat easier than you had expected, and traveling to Europe had not been a chore. However, now, you stood before the run down castle that Kars and Wamuu had apparently taken over (you had heard of their whereabouts through two extremely loud men who seemed to be working with the German government. You were surprised that they hadn't yet noticed you eavesdropping on all of their conversations, and that they were so loud-mouthed about their mission, but you disregarded these as standard human flaws.

You lightly tread through the snow to the gate of the ominous castle, which swung open with force. Faintly, you could see a figure emerge. But it wasn't a figure, exactly. The form seemed to camouflage into the background as winds whipped around the approaching man. If you hadn't known this exact tactic, you wouldn't have been able to identify him.

"Hello, Wamuu." A small smile crept to your face. The figure halted, dropping the cloak of swirling winds that had served as his concealment.

"(Y/n)?"
