A Mage, Fighter, Hero, Sage, Priest, and now a Guardian. After the world went to hell, Lily ended up roaming back to where everything was least on fire. Towa City. The place was still swarming with Monokuma, sure, but at least the sky wasn’t all black and red, and the air was mostly breathable. Almost as if it was suppose to be an apology for trying to kill her, she dragged along a frazzled Ayano. The older girl had almost shut down, so it was mostly up to Lily to steer them out of danger. As much as they would have loved to use their hacking gun, it disappeared, almost like somebody had taken the damn thing. Frustrating, but she could make do without it. What made things worse, was Ayano’s lack of cooperation. The older girl followed Lily, but Lily basically had to drag her around to go anywhere. At this point, it would’ve been much easier to have just left her to die.
Recalling what Ichi did, Lily found an apartment where both of them could stay in for a while. Just like before, they stayed at the very top floor, where roaming Monokuma were least likely to get them. Once she dragged Ayano into a bed, she left her there and moved back into the living room to draw on whatever she could. Glancing out the window, she noticed a bunch of Monokids looking right back up at her, but Lily couldn’t care less. The entire day those kids turned their heads whenever they saw her, but they never alerted Monokuma’s, or attacked themselves, they just stared at her until she went away. Grabbing a bunch of pencils from a table, she began scribbling on a wall, drawing whatever she could think of until she inevitably got tired. When the red shade filling the sky became a tone darker than usual, Lily decided it would be best to get some sleep. Rather than find an empty bedroom, she simply flopped on top of a couch and fell asleep there.
When she awoke, she wasn’t greeted to the dark and colorless room she was once in. Instead, she woke up in a bright white room, surrounded by five other children. The one with blue hair seemed to be looking at her with distrustful eyes, while the pink one seemed excited to meet her. The green one always kept a distance, as she watched the red one boast about how he saved her from the nearby demon he found. The brown one simply kept mumbling something under his breath, words that Lily couldn’t make out. The brown one with the mask creeped her out, and her look of disgust seemed to give it pleasure.
Lily didn’t recall much about the detail in between meeting the other children, who called themselves “The Warriors of Hope.” She had just woken up and was hardly paying attention to a word they said. The pink one seemed particularly interested in her small wings, now disheveled from being neglected for so long. And although the blue one seemed hesitant to let her join, at the end it was the one in the wheelchair who made all the decisions. Despite being a bit younger than them, the pink one seemed to have convinced the green one by begging her, claiming she wanted a little sister. The leader was fine with this, under the condition they raised her to be “Big sis Elizabeth’s” successor. While the pink demon couldn’t care less, they happily agreed.
Something else happened, and next thing Lily knew, Ayano entered the room with a black wristband, much to the red one’s displeasure. After a conversation Lily couldn’t be bothered to remember, Ayano was ejected, falling through the sky back into the Monokuma infested wasteland. Lily couldn’t feel a shred of empathy, telling herself that the older girl was bound to die eventually. Once that was said and done, the other children grew obsessed with giving Lily a role. They had a Mage, Fighter, Hero, Sage, and Priest. Nothing felt like it was missing, but they still needed another role for their new member. Eventually, they were given the title of The Guardian, curtsy of the green one.
A Mage, Fighter, Hero, Sage, Priest.
