Description

Hello, humans! I use machine translation. If you see a typo, correct me.

 

We are approaching a big story episode that is a continuation of Dirge for Shardopolis. If you haven't read it, you can do so from the link below, otherwise you won't understand what happened next. The new episode takes place near the end of the last story arc and will tell the story of DD's younger sister.

 

Previous episode started here

 


Remembering the events of the previous chapter, DD managed to escape from Inner Surface, the inner layer of the planet, which contained all the entropy-sick citizens of Church. Being only a dark shadow of her former self, DD passed through the lands transformed by Engine, and finally reached the ruins of An-Shardopolis. In this underground city, she spent most of her life and there was nowhere else for her to return except for this place. Wandering into the territory of Manor, DD meets his childhood friend, Heiress, and at the same time finds a brief peace. But having barely recovered from her wounds after a suicidal journey, DD hurries to what remains of her home in which she spent her childhood.

 

It is from this moment that a new story begins.

 

When she was still living here, her homestead was equipped with an underground medical level, which housed scientific personnel seeking to cure DD of her illness. But the experiment to cure the princess of entropy failed. The discharge from the accumulated t-energy that escaped from her body was so powerful that only melted walls remained from the former estate of the Dualitas family. DD spent her childhood here with her grandparents, who replaced her parents. Looking at how the entire territory of her house turned into obsidian, she immediately realized that it was pointless to ask about the survivors. The only thing she could do now was honor their memory, as a good granddaughter should. Although she killed all the inhabitants of her house, it was not her fault, because of her illness, DD was doomed from birth.

 

Moving, accompanied by her friend, deep into the melted ruins of the manor, the girl notices a faint flickering light. Wandering even further into the melted corridors, before the girl, an open space appears, among which a self-made monument towered. DD's family is revered in the Church as one of the holy founders, so some caring people built a kind of monument from the fragments of the walls, which was girded with swords - the symbol of the Dualitas family, and crowned with a handmade six-pointed star- the symbol of Church. Even at the moment when this world died, the surface is contaminated with black sand and distraught martyrs, and the machines of the old humanity roamed the city, in this place the surviving people still did not forget about their history and faith.

 

 At least DD wasn't alone in her grief. Seeing her, the people who put the funeral candles were distracted from their work and surrounded the princess. Not surprisingly, the people of Shardopolis remembered DD, who used to live with her grandparents in a lonely estate on the edge of town. She was sort of a local landmark. People were glad that someone else from the Dualitas family was still alive. But DD at first thought that she had misheard, considering herself the only surviving member of the family. To which Heiress, who accompanied her, assured that now she was not alone, because in this chaos of the dying world, someone else had survived.

 

And while DD stood in a daze at what she heard, surrounded by cheering residents, a sound came from behind her. A sound that for most people is imperceptible and meaningless, but for DD it was distinct and clear - it was a subtle rustle of clothing and the click of a safety lock.

 

Barely had the girl managed to deflect her head when a rifle shot rang out behind her...
