Hikisaka went to bed feeling concerned about what had happened to him. He hadn't even come close to losing control since first fusing with Ragnos. It was incredible how little it took to unleash him. He drifted to sleep and then awoke in a black void looking straight into the face of the demon Ragnos. The monster spoke to Hikisaka. "Greetings my vessel. It's been quite a while since you've awoken me. That's quite the willpower you have but it won't be enough. Every time I take control I take part of you with me and replace it with a part of myself." Hikisaka tried to respond but his mouth wouldn't move."Slowly you are turning into the monster you tried so hard to stop and contain. There's nothing you can do about it. You are mine!" The monster laughed. "Should you die ill simply find a new host. One who won't have the control you had. The foolish mage who awakened me had no idea what he was dealing with. I'm more than just a demon. I'm a king among demons. I am The Lord of Destruction and no mortal could hope to contain me. Your body and soul will become my own." The demon closed in and devoured Hikisaka. Before he could feel the pain of being eaten he woke up in his bed. It was late at night. Hikisaka took deep breaths to calm himself. He then sat up and meditated for the rest of the night. He could only hope it was a nightmare and nothing more.

Hikisaka gathered at the briefing with everyone else. After Silus was done speaking Hikisaka spoke to him with his voice sounding a bit nervous. "If it's not much trouble I need to send a letter to a friend of mine back at HQ." He intended to inform Josephine about what had happened and possibly seek her help. She was the only one he could turn to with this issue. If The Order wouldn't have killed him before for his condition it would certainly do so with this new information.
