[Location- Kuranuma Village
Planet- Atrucia
Date- ??.??.????
Name- Aiden Capell]
(Bree wakes up in the morning and knocks on Aiden's door. But after getting no response she realises that the door is locked from the outside. Using her spare key, she opens and rushes inside searching for him. But instead she finds a note left on the table)
Bree- *Picking up the note, she starts going through it*
- Uh...Bree, if you're reading this, you must have waken up at a time when I am not here. I am sorry but I had to go to the...capital? Okay...
Bree- *She continues*
- I will be back by evening. I'll come once to the armory shop to pay him my debt of an armored coat I bought. then I'll leave again to get some herbs. After I am done, I'll be back by 2 days.
Bree- *Putting the letter down, she gasps*
- Oh! I wanna go to the capital...with him. If I could get to the armory...!
Bree- *Running out of the house, she rushes for the armory*
- Please be there...Aiden...
Meanwhile,
Aiden- *Entering the shop, he brings the money and puts it on counter*
- Sir, here's your money.
The keeper- *Coming out he counts the money and says*
- That's perfect young man. It was pleasure doin' business with ya'.
Aiden- *Shaking hands with the keeper, he says...*
- I will have to go now, I have to return before sunset.
The keeper- *Quickly leaving, he turns right from the armory, straight into the forest*
- Have a good day!
Bree- *2 minutes after Aiden's departure, Bree arrives at the armory*
- Sir!
The keeper- *Comes again*
- Oh ain't it our doctor girl? What makes ya come here young lady?
Bree- Did anyone with white hair come here?
*She breathes heavily from all the running*
The keeper- Oh? You mean the new guy? Aiden? Yeah he did.
Bree- Where did he go?
The keeper- He took a right turn from my shop. I think he went into the forest. He left just 2 minutes ago.
Bree- Okay! Thank you sir!
*Bree quickly rushes outside, running into the forest*
Bree- Please be there...
*She runs through the forest, jumping over the vines and trying not to trip*
Bree- Aiden!! Aiden!!
*She shouts his name, in hope of a response*
Meanwhile,
Aiden- So, the flowers can make potions?
Styx- I mean it's suppos-
*Styx is interrupted by something*
Aiden- What happened?
Styx- We are in an ambush. Hell hounds. They shouldn't be here...
Aiden- What hounds? Ugh...
*Aiden pulls his sword out*
Styx- Don't...there might be more. Attacking one hell hound will alert the whole chain if there are more in this forest...They stay internally connected. Instead. Use Rift and run.
Aiden- Alright...as you say.
*Focusing on Rift, he teleports out of the place, and starts running*
Styx- You know what's strange? These things don't belong here...someone must have set it up for someone. And I wouldn't be surprised if it's for you...
Meanwhile,
Bree- These might be Aiden's footsteps!...
1...2...3
*As she follows the trail, the hell hounds close up on her. She is alerted by a growling sound. As she looks around she realises she is surrounded by hell hounds, she screams*
Aiden- Huh?... Isn't that...Bree?!!
*Aiden quickly turns around running back*
Styx- Are you sure what you're doing is worth it? You might get outnumbered by a lot.
Aiden- Doesn't matter... But in this life
I do not want to regret anything!
Bree- Don't attack! Kyah!
*Bree pushes some of them away with her element, but being a healer, she couldn't hold on longer. Eventually one of the hounds pushes her off balance. As a hound comes rushing at her*
Aiden- Don't you dare!
*Aiden slashes through the hound along with 5 more*
Aiden- *Taking Bree in his arms, Aiden picks Bree up*
- We are gonna run. Hold on tight!
Bree- But...Ah!
*Bree holds on for dear life, as Aiden runs through the forest. As Styx expected, the other hounds start closing in. But before they're too close, they managed to get out of the forest*
Aiden- Huff...Huff...Are you okay? Did they hurt you?
*Bree looks at Aiden, blushing*
Bree- N-no...but why would you risk your life...?
Aiden- Because you're important to me. We'll get herbs later. Come home.
Bree- *Holding Bree's arm, Aiden heads to their house*
- Thank you...
The keeper- *As they cross the armory, the keeper comes out saying....*
- Do invite me to the wedding young lad!
Aiden- It's...not like that...
Bree- *Looking at Aiden, she gets a little disappointed but blushes at the keeper's words*
- Cool...(She mutters)
Meanwhile,
Unknown- *The hounds form into one man who stares at the duo. Lurking in the forest he says, slowly blending into the shadows*
- I should report this to master.
Meanwhile,
Aiden- *After entering the house, Aiden takes Bree to his room and locks the door*
- Bree...
Bree- Huh?...Aiden... what're you-?
*She takes steps back, as Aiden comes closer*
Aiden- *Bree ends up sitting on bed. Coming closer, he holds her shoulder. Aiden says*
- Why'd you follow me?
Bree- *Cracking up a little*
- Oh so that's what...Gosh!
*She giggles a bit*
Aiden- I... please answer my question.
Bree- I wanted to spend time with you...in the capital.
*Twirling her hair she looks away trying to hide her blush*
Aiden- Well I won't be just touring around. I am gonna be doing dangerous missions.
Bree- I still wanna go!
Aiden- Ah... you could have just told me-
*Aiden was interrupted by a knock on the door*
Bree- Som-
Aiden- Shh... There's someone strong behind the door...
*Aiden slowly opens the door. As it opens up a little, his reflex tells him something is off. The door suddenly opens with a bang, Aiden uses Rift to dash back nearly dodging a deathblow. The punch thrown at Aiden sends shockwave throughout the room*
Bree's Brother- Nice reflexes.
*He finally catches a glimpse of Aiden, breathing heavily*
Bree's Brother- Also, nice stance. swordsman eh?
Bree- What happened?!
Aiden- *Standing up, he tidies up the crooked photos. His body still emitting the sea greenish glow*
- What now?...
Bree's brother- What were you doing with my sister?
Aiden- I was just...
Bree brother- I saw you run inside, with my sister in your arms. Then you lock the door.
Bree- He saved me...from-
Bree's Brother- What happened?
Bree- He saved my life...from hell hounds..
Bree's Brother- Hell hounds?! Where?
Bree- Forest...
Bree's Brother- Hell hounds aren't supposed to be there...Aiden...
*He looks at Aiden sternly*
Bree- He didn't do anything wrong!
Bree's Brother- *He looks at her sister and says*
- You do understand that, if I find out that he is a demon, he will die. If he breaks that trust, the more you trust him...the punishment will increase too. I will incinerate him to a point that you wouldn't even be able to see his ashes...
Bree- Calyx...
Bree's Brother- And you Aiden...same as before... don't you dare break this trust of her.
Aiden- I won't.
Bree's Brother- Well...
*His flaming hand extinguishes*
Bree's Brother- Where will you go next?
Aiden- Me? I will go...to the capital.
*He says a little nervously*
Bree's Brother- Capital?...come here.
Aiden- Uh...I-I
Bree- Calyx!
Bree's Brother- Don't worry, I am not gonna hurt him. Come here.
*Aiden comes closer to Bree's Brother, and He hugs Aiden*
Aiden- Sir?
Bree's Brother- I am sorry if You are a human and you still have to listen to these...
*Letting go of him, he holds his shoulder*
Bree's Brother- And thank you for saving my sister. I hope you understand the current circumstances...we can't trust anyone.
Aiden- I do... There's no reason to apologise. I understand your concern, sir.
Bree's Brother- You can call me Calyx. Lemme escort you to the capital, I'll go there anyways.
Aiden- But-
Calyx- No buts! Come!
*Holding Aiden by the shoulder, he takes him outside when Calyx says*
Calyx- Bree come with us too...
*Bree's face lights up*
Bree- Really?
Calyx- Yes...and We've managed to get a contract, so you should meet the hospital chief too. He is saying he'll hire you from next week.
*Bree jumps on Calyx in pure delight*
Bree- You're the best!
Meanwhile,
(The keeper's bloody lifeless body lays down in the dark room of the armory. Two people are standing. One with a sword and another with a paper. Most likely the contract paper with Aiden.)
Unknown man- Master, Yes. It is Aiden Capell. Yes he bought an armored coat from this oldie. Most probably...
He is in this village.
