Welcome to Gaia! ::

It had been a month since she was taken from her homeland by the Hellmaster, and she remembered well how many people sacrificed themselves trying to stop him from taking her away. It was a bit saddening to think about, because as some died, they wondered why they had even tried facing a Monster Lord, and others blamed her for him coming to the town in the first place. She shivered at remembering this, growing tense as she realized she was still in a meeting with Hellmaster.

She barely rose her head, keeping it low to the ground as to not look him in the face, he’d never liked that, it showed that they were equal, and like he always said—they’d never be equal. She was the weaker one, his subordinate – any time that she wasn’t useful, she could be gotten rid of. She listened carefully to his words, and gave a somewhat sheepish smile. She was clearly afraid of him, so she was unsure how to act. ”Understood. “ She was about to make a bow when she felt his eyes at her bad like daggers. ”Right… you don’t like formalness, my apologies.” ”I don’t like proper talking either. Drop it and get out.” She turned her heel as she heard these words, and made her way out of the corridor.

That Xellos guy he mentioned will be here soon. He said so… so.. should I stay still? She was unsure, but she was sure of one thing; right now monsters scared the hell out of her. Maybe it was because she only knew the Hellmaster so far, but monsters were supposed to startle humans, and originally she was one. She tightened her swords around her waist, making sure the sheathes would not fall loose and took in a shaky breath. Times were getting harder and harder. She was getting tired of all the orders already. ”Alright. I just need to get into the right mind before they get here! No getting negative, they like that! Umm… let’s see here… “

” Ahh!” Cerras nearly jumped out of her skin at the sound of a unfamiliar voice behind her, and she quickly turned her head to take a look at who’d spoken. Her golden eyes were a bit wide in utter shock, because he’d caught her in her thoughts, and also because she had a bit of a fear of monsters. She averted her gaze for a moment, and laughed nervously. ”Please don’t scare me like that!” She knew it wasn’t intentional; she just couldn’t help but say it. He’d startled her.

She took in a shaky breath, as she thought of what to say. The memories from her human life before even brought back the memories of her parents death, it had occurred right before the massacre started by Phibrizzo; and then everyone blamed her for it all. It wasn’t a very fun time at all; she’d been killed at that time. Why did she have to remember it? It just reminded her of how she wanted to go back home. Why did she have to work with the monsters now?

Cerras caught herself in her thoughts and realized that she was being improper; she gave a quick bow, her cheeks flushed in nervousness. She’d never liked introductions, even as a human. ”I’m sorry for being rude, umm.. the Hellmaster has probably told you… I’m Cerras. You’re… Xellos right?” She gave a sheepish smile and rose her gaze to look at him again. Even when he seemed to be cheerful, he seemed to be hiding something. But she didn’t think she should mention it. It wasn’t any of her business, right? ”It’s nice to meet you.”
