Reina: Here's the next chapter.

Previously on the Vampire's Servant-

"Are you okay, Lord Leo?" You ask. "You don't look well, and I'm worried about you."

"I'm fine, (Y/N). In fact, I am better than fine!"

"Why?"

"Because... I'm dating Leora, and I am positive that I am in love with her," Leo stated.

And Now...

You stood there in shock, as if the world split open and swallowed you up. Leo fell in love with someone else? Why?

I told you Nohrians couldn't be trusted, Lamia stated quietly in your head. You should have killed him when you had the chance.

Shut up, you thought.

You close your eyes and open them, expecting to see Leo looking at you.

Instead, the mansion was gone and you were standing in front of a throne room. The room was black, the curtains were silver, the trimming was silver, and the throne was silver with a purple seat on it.

"Where am I?" You ask aloud.

"The decision chamber," a voice replied.

You whip around to see a young girl with pink hair wearing a golden cape staring away from you. You couldn't see her face, but you clenched your fist.

"Lamia," you hissed.

"I'm not Lamia," she replied.

"You sound like her," you reply.

"That's a coincidence."

You glare at the girl. "Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter. I'm just an Echo of a queen. Even if I wasn't, you probably won't see me again, so what's the point in telling you if I'm only here to help you with something mildly important?"

"What?"

"You have a decision to make," she mutters as she turns to face you. The first thing that strikes you are her deep purple eyes, yet she continues to speak. "From this point, you have five paths to pick from."

"Why five?"

"I don't know," the girl responds. "I thought that there was more, but after pulling what I did, I don't think that anyone can trust me with this...."

You shake your head and look at the girl. "Okay... Whatever. Five paths. How do I pick them?"

"It's quite simple," the girl replied as she summoned a piece of parchment. "You look at these paths, and pick an action to fulfill. Like Fire Emblem Fates."

"What's Fire Emblem Fates?" You ask.

The girl sighed. "Oh wait... Never mind. Your world doesn't have this... Although..." She circles around you, as if she was trying to decide something. "Nah."

"What are you doing?" You ask.

"I was trying to see if you were from an alternate world, but I'm probably wrong. Anyhow..." She handed you the parchment. "Open it up and take a look at it."

You blink before accepting it. You slowly unfurl it and take a look at it:

- Punch Leo in the face (Takumi's Path)

- Get angry at Leo and run out (Cori's Path)

- Hear what Lamia has to say. (R---n's path)

- Congratulate Leo (Leo's path)

- Go talk to Odin (Odin's path)

- Act like you forgot something (Unknown Path; route information to be calculated at a later date)

- Faint (Unknown Path; route information to be calculated at a later date)

- Use a Dragon Vein (Unknown Path; route information to be calculated at a later date)

- Teleport away (Unknown Path; route information to be calculated at a later date)

- Other action (Unknown Path; route information to be calculated at a later date)

You blink and glare at the girl, whom you decided to call Echo. "There are more than five paths here."

"Yeah... But only the first five are confirmed. The others are only merely possibilities."

"Even the teleportation one?" You ask.

"ESPECIALLY the teleportation one. The only five you can pick are Takumi, Leo, Cori, Odin, and R----."

You frown. "How does punching Leo allow me to date Takumi?"

Echo sighed. "Think of it as the Butterfly Effect, or a chain of effects... Like the equivalent of being mean to a wolf lets it die later."

You gape in horror. "Why would you let a wolf die?"

"Forget the wolf," Echo sighed again. "It was just an example. Really, just think of the first action as a catalyst that allows you to pick someone else."

"Some of these have letters bolded and in italics," you noted.

"You have to figure out who's path that is," Echo replied. "But they may not appear if you're not interested in them."

You nod and look at the parchment. "Alright. Say I pick a route, and I hate it. What can I do?"

"You can come back to this point and start again," Echo replied.

"That's a harem," you accuse.

"Not really..." She mutters. "More like... An AU, or an alternate universe."

You nod again. "What if I have more questions?"

Echo smiled. "You can find me again. Just call me out. I will stand here until you decide your path. Remember... Nothing is set in stone, except for the Rosetta Stone."

"What?"

"Nothing!" Echo replied! Now... Pick your path."

You look at the options again:

- Punch Leo in the face (Takumi's Path)

- Get angry at Leo and run out (Cori's Path)

- Hear what Lamia has to say. (R---n's path)

- Congratulate Leo (Leo's path)

- Go talk to Odin (Odin's path)

- Act like you forgot something (Unknown Path; route information to be calculated at a later date)

- Faint (Unknown Path; route information to be calculated at a later date)

- Use a Dragon Vein (Unknown Path; route information to be calculated at a later date)

- Teleport away (Unknown Path; route information to be calculated at a later date)

- Other action (Unknown Path; route information to be calculated at a later date)

You take a deep breath and think.

I pick...

Reina: Pick your route in the comments! If a route has enough interest, it'll be a story!
