If there was one thing that she noticed when she woke, it was the warmth of the sun. It was so bright and dazzling she had to cover her face against the light. She wanted to use the remaining time to sleep a little more before her alarm starts blaring. But fate chose to be cruel and twisted when the next second passed, an annoying sound starts beeping from the side of her bed demanding for her attention.

She was always a morning person, but she was one in those moods where she doesn't want to be bothered and wished to be left alone. Yet the clock tells her otherwise.

With an angry grunt a pale arm stretched from the bed and reach over to the night stand, pressing the button at the top of the alarm clock. It then grabbed the clock and tugs it back to see the time. A small body with snow white hair let out another grumpy grunt and sat up glaring at the object in her hands. Her glossy red eyes stared back at the beeping numbers displayed at the small rectangular device.

"6:30 in the morning... "Normally she would be up by this hour starting the day by taking a shower and dressing up for school. Shitori-Kaichou was never one who appreciates someone for being late. Though it's not like she was always tardy. She was never like that in the past too. "Right. I gotta get...ahhhhh~~ hmn... moving. "

The girl yawned and pulled herself out of her comfy bed and headed to the bathroom. She flicked the switched on and saw a figure reflected on the mirror greeting her. Long snow-like hair and red eyes. Pinkish cheeks and pouty cute lips. Her body size was like of a child, but her gaze was more of an adult.

Illyasviel Von Einzbern looked at her mirror. Her body never grew, not even an inch since she arrived in her new world. It was still the same old child-like Illya who was as cute as a doll.

She sighed, walked to the faucet and turned the knob. The coldness of the water awakened her as she splashed a handful of water into her face and dries it up with a soft towel at the side of the mirror after turning the faucet off. She then unbuttoned the oversize nightwear that she wore for the night to take a shower before changing into her standard Kuoh academy uniform.

Illya had no particular reasons as to why she wanted to attend a school. All of the educational lessons were already drilled into her head way back in the Einzbern castle by her homunculus maids and tutors. She was raised with a very expensive homeschool education, so what was there for her to learn? Nothing. Rather, she enrolled herself for two simple reasons. Other than to experience Highschool life, there was something strange about a certain number of students at that particular school. One that is interesting to look and see. For example, the student council. They were being led by Shitori Souna. She was well respected by the students and well-loved. A lot of students had even taken her as their role model in life. Respect, money, and power. Even the teacher's held her words with high regard. No one wanted to disobey her. She was the king of her own school. The other one was Gremory Rias and her Occult Research Club. Rias was a well-endowed woman who had full perfect marks when it comes to womanly charms. She was beautiful and smart. She was loved by the whole school, giving her a title of 'Onee-sama' together with the vice-president of the mysterious club, Akeno Himejima. Not only that, despite only having 4 members all of them are well-known. Yuuto Kiba. The blonde haired no. 1 prince of the Kouh Academy and Koneko Toujou. Her classmate.

Illya frowned remembering the cat-like classmate. She was compared to her in many aspects. Their hair color, their height, which was the cutest. Little Koneko is meek and silent and she's... not. Illya just can't stomach her presence with her being in the same room. She made a mental note everyday to avoid her at all costs. It's not like she hates her, she just acts too much like a cat. She hates cats. But that doesn't mean she also hates her too. There is a very fine line between dislike and hate. Ilyas' was leaning towards dislike.

Ignoring those internal ramblings, there was something within Kouh Academy that draws her. Not just the students themselves but the place too. The entire place was sitting above a certain point where many leylines intersect. Rich and pure. She could almost feel how powerful it is everytime time she enters the school grounds. As a magus, it is a perfect place to study magecraft.

When she had finished taking a shower and changing into her uniform, she headed downstairs and had some breakfast. The house that she was able to get through hypnosis and hard work wasn't quite small nor large. It was a perfect size for a 2-storey family house with 3 bedrooms and one bathroom at the 2nd floor, a kitchen, a living room, a comfort room and a basement. It might have been too big for her to live in alone, but in the future that is going to change.

After having a very unsatisfying breakfast, she was about to grab her bag and leave when she stopped and looked at the door leading to the basement.

"It wouldn't hurt to visit. After all, he might get lonely in there too." Illya sighed and smiled sadly. The hand that was about to grab her bag fell limply at her side as she walked towards the door and turn the knob to open it. She made sure that after securing a safe place to live, placing multiple bounded fields around it was the very first thing she'd do. After all, it would be housing what was the most important thing to her.

The wooden stairs leading down the basement creaked every time she stepped down and the lanterns imbedded in the walls flickered, illuminating the basement. It was her new workshop. As a magus, she couldn't have any excuses to be neglectful when it comes to her magecraft. A magus must strive to be at their best in order to reach the root. But in her case, instead of striving for the root, she was working hard once again for another reason. The world she was currently in was a world where the age of Gods never ended. The prana that surround her is pure and abundant. As a magus, it would be such a waste not to make use of it.

When she reached the floor, there were multiple books and magic circles on the ground. The books weren't hard to find. They have a certain type of smell in this world that in one glance any magus would recognise for their abnormal energy. So she took whatever she could find and brought everything to her workshop to study. She had collected them from various places. Some were lying in libraries collecting dusts and others were stolen from local magicians who couldn't make any use of them.

Her new homeworld had a strange magic system. One that was quite different from her previous world. Although there were some small similarities, it wasn't hard for Illya to bring the pieces together for her to understand. So she studied them from the start and took notes. If she needed to survive, she must learn about the current world she is now residing within. Because of that, during the duration of her time cramming inside her basement for many months, she was able to fill up her workshop quite nicely. A stack of worn out books were lying on the side of her desk with notes pinned to the wall. There were multiple drawings of magic circles and Latin words that accompanied them. Each note explaining how they work and how to chant them precisely. A box of crystals and magic tools were in the corner of the basement while a large map of the city which she was living within was imbedded in the wall full of red yarn strings serving as guidelines of leylines located within the city. Illya was very busy during the past months after settling comfortably in her new home. In front of her were magic circles drawn across the floor. Some were glowing, others were faded. She stayed up all night created them in order to build something that would contain the most valuable thing to her.

It didn't take her long at all to find the thing she was looking for. After all, if one were to enter her workshop, it would be the first thing that could be seen. Illya turned her head and smiled warmly. She reached out her hand and felt the cold glass beneath her palm. All her hard work had paid off. It was all worth it.

"Hello. I hope you are comfortable in there... I really do. "

In Front of her is a huge glass coffin. One tall enough to fit a human in it. It was made from pure hardened jewel, crafted and sewn together by her magecraft. It was tricky and difficult. It should have been impossible for her to create such thing. But she never gave up and looked for a way to create a container that would keep him alive. It was all thanks to the prana in this world that she could create the most absurd things she could possibly think of.

"You know. Illya is going to school now so be a good boy, okay?" She always hoped he could hear her. "Don't worry. After I'm done with school, I'll come back. I promise. So wait for me, okay?"

Illya smiled and rested her forehead against the glass coffin before muttering a goodbye. She then separated herself from the coffin and headed upstairs, locking up what was inside her workshop, her basement and left the house after checking the bounded field before heading to school.

Back in the basement, within her workshop, the glass coffin began to glow as bubbles inside the coffin floated up. There was a water-like substance that kept a body of a teenager floating. A body of a boy wearing a white and blue long sleeves and jeans. His shoes were loose, but they were not a hindrance at all. His eyes were shut as his red hair began to sway upwards with the rising bubbles. Though it may have looked like he was dead, he was certainly not. After all, Illya made sure he would stay alive. Because this time she is willing to take it up. A chance. Another last chance of the million chances she had received and chose to discard within the span of her existence.

In another world where Alaya cannot reach him and take him from her. Illya vowed to save her brother from his demise. She wanted to build a future where both of them can live freely together and happy.
