Celia smiles.
"It's nice to have someone around in dark times."
Celia looks around, everything looking the same.
"So...what is this place?"

"Oh, that's right," Descasha motioned toward Celia, starting forward again, "This is Kiokurin forest, though it's mroe of a dense thicket now. It wasn't always like this, though. Like everything here on Lenoria, it was once beautiful and peaceful, but it has been corrupted by the curse from the Soulless World. This place is now occupied by lesser demons. They hunt whenever it gets dark, working together to bring their prey down and then fighting amongst one another for the meal. As long as you stick with me, though, you won't have taht problem."
She offered a smile. It was strange to be kind again, but it felt natural, more natural than it had been when she was her real self... Or at least what she thought to be her real self. Was this... new person who she had truly was?

"Kiokurin forest..." Celia says as she looks around. She cringes at everything, it's sight scaring her a bit.
"I...bet it was very beautiful."
She turns back to Descasha and runs to catch up a bit. She slows down her pace.
Lenoria...Soulless World...Lesser Demons...sounds like something right out of a fantasy book...
Celia noticed Descasha's smile and smiled back.
"Yes?"

She looked away again.
"Nothing, really. You just remind me of someone. Someone I used to know..."

Celia blinked in confusion.
"Someone...you used to know? Is it too personal to ask what happened?"
Celia had a worried expression on her face.

Descasha gave a slight nod.
"I don't feel comfortable talking about it, just yet. It still hurts to confront it, but suffice to say I have done things I regret, even now."
((sorry, but I need to go to bed before my mother finds out I'm still awake. I'll be back on tomorrow, see you next time you're one! ^_^ ))

((It's okay, I understand. Night!!))
Celia looks down.
"I understand more than you know."
Celia shakes her head, trying to cheer up the mood.
"But don't worry about me too much though, I've been trained to fight and-"
Celia stops as if remembering something. She looks down, her bangs shielding her eyes.
"...nevermind..." She mumbles.

Descasha stopped when she realized Celia was no longer following her.
"So looks like you have your own secrets as well," she laughed a little to herself, though it sounded more sad than humorous, "Well as long as I'm keeping secrets I suppose I can't blame you for keeping your own."
She looked back in the direction they had been heading. A very dim light could be seen down the way, but it would still be some time before they got there. Should she be concerned about the demons?
"One way or another, there are some things I need to tell you about this world. I said it was cursed, but that's not the only problem this world holds. It's at war. My old master is fighting the demon king for control of this world. If they aren't stopped, this world will only fall farther into decay and destruction, possibly completely obliterating itself like the last one. There is a group planning the destruction of both sides, but they're small compared the the massive armies of the demon king and my old master." She realized she had been staring off into the darkness and set her gaze back on Celia, smiling in an attempt to make up for her previous inattention. "What about you? I suppose you want to head back to your own world?"

Celia shakes her head.
"It's not a secret...just a painful realization..."
Celia looks up to listen to Descasha's words.
At war? For how long?
"You must be worried..."
Celia looked up in wonder at her question.
"Sort of...not really...the only thing that I would miss..."
Celia furrows her eyes.
"...is Soren."

Descasha looked at the girl in confusion.
"Worried? No. The war doesn't affect me. As I said, no one remembers me anymore. As for you, you'll have to make your choice. Is Soren worth going back to you?"

Celia tilted her head.
"I meant about your master..."
She sighs.
I'll have to make my choice...
Celia raises a hand to her chest in an effort to slow down her heart.
"I...I believe he is...at least...."
...I hope so...

Descasha looked out into the darkness again.
"My master..." she sighed deeply, "I don't work for him anymore. He betrayed me long ago, and I am no longer bound to him. I doubt he remembers me anymore, now that I am no longer of use to him."
She smiled as she heard Celia's choice. "That's good. I wish I had someone like that. But one way or another you have a long road ahead of you. This." She pointed toward the light still far away, "Will take us to Nohara field, and from there I can take you very quickly to sprawling city of Misuteru. That's where the adventurers are, and they might be able to help you. If not." She gave a warm smile, "Then I've decided I'm going to make it my mission to get you back there."

Celia's eyes furrowed with worry.
"I'm sorry to hear that...I've never been betrayed before..."
Celia looked at the light as Descasha continued to speak.
"Nohara field...Misuteru...why do these..?"
Celia heared Descasha's final sentence and turned to her in shock. She smiles warmly.
"Thank you..."
Why do these names...?

"Don't worry about it," She replied, "I have nothing else to do with my life now, and I feel as if I should be helping you anyway. You said yourself I'm a new person now. This is going to be how I start."
She turned back toward the light, looking over her shoulder at Celia. "Shall we?"

Celia smiles, her silver hair blowing playfully in the wind.
"Yes, we shall."
Celia continues to follow Descasha, her eyes focused on the ground.
These names....they sound familiar, but...I've never been here before...
Celia looks up at the sky, worry etched on her face.
...have I?
