A town in the dusk in times from old, the bleeding moon shining down its light. A park with a beautiful garden underneath the twilight, its bushes stacking high.
One walking in its quiet embrace, a girl with long flowing hazel hair and azure eyes, the person wearing a red shirt and grey dress wrapping below.
A pure soul out in the night, taking in the gentle breeze. A strange feeling coming over her, shortly stopping her movements.
Her vision on a negative force ahead, soon seeing a long serpent dragon walk out of the void on its four feet.
The person alarmingly stepping back, fearfully holding her hands to her chest. Hearing its mighty roar, the park shaking in its fury. The fiend lunging at her, bearing its mighty fangs.
Quickly shutting her eyes, screaming out into the dusk. From above, Isa instantly striking down, impaling the beast into the ground.
The maiden shortly removing her katana from it, descending to the land. Her eyes on the fading creature, witnessing it disappearing into the darkness.
“Even when I am off the clock, work seems to find me.” A sigh leaves the maiden as she puts away her sword.
The hazel one slowly opening her eyes, looking at the person in front of her. Their long black hair tying at the end, the individual’s dark coat blowing in the breeze. Isa soon turning to them, adjusting her red top, shortly dusting off her jeans stretching below.
“You okay?” Isa’s hand on her waist.
“Ah yes. Thank you, monsters are not supposed to be here...” The pure one’s hand to her chest in unease.
“It rarely happens. I tend to have some bad luck, so no surprise something came up during my break time.” The maiden shrugs at her.
“Oh? So you came here to relax as well?” the hazel person’s pleasant smile.
“Yeah, I like the quiet nights. To be honest, I did not expect anyone else here at this time.” Isa walks to a bench, soon sitting on it.
“Hmhm, same. I’m Elina by the way. I was just out for a stroll, usually I sit around this area.” The innocent one seats herself by the maiden’s side.
“Isa. And sorry to intrude, I am usually out on a job, so didn’t know someone else likes this spot at this time.” The person presses her hand on her lap.
Two souls encountering in the dusk, beneath the watchful eye of the blood moon. The maiden feeling a difference in the air, this strange person to her.
Isa’s attention a bit away, thinking on the occurrence. Elina’s finger to her chin, someone taking interest in the person’s words.
“Don’t apologize, I am glad we got to meet. Can you tell me what you do?” the pure one’s bright smile at Isa.
“Whatever the church asks me to do. Since I am mostly combat, I go basically everywhere.” The soldier gestures her arm to the girl.
“Maybe that is why I never saw you, I just run some errands for the church around these parts.” Elina lowers her hand.
“Yeah, our lives would be unlikely to meet.” The maiden’s hand behind her head as she looks at the innocent one.
An unlikely meeting underneath the blissful dusk, one remaining behind the walls, another going afar. The maiden not forming personal connections, devoting herself to her job.
An individual choosing to lock-off herself, her dangerous encounters showing her the true colors of others. Two chatting away the time, the girl joyfully sharing their tales.
Some ease to the maiden, the time slipping by. Elina soon standing from the bench, facing the person.
“Do you want to meet up tomorrow morning?” the girl curiously rests her hand on her chest.
“I suppose I have the time.” Isa faintly smiles at them.
“Then let’s meet at the Shopping District!” excitement from the pure one.
An innocent one shining beneath the crimson moon, setting light into the maiden’s dark world. One venturing out into the quiet night, the tides pushing forward a surprising turn in events.
Isa’s eyes on the girl heading on their way, soon shifting her vision to the blood orb in the sky. A curse eternally blanketing the worlds, yet something else existing within its gleam.
The maiden standing from her seat, shortly leaving the area. Morning eventually coming, Isa meeting the hazel one in the Shopping District.
Stores along each end, people passing by a large statue of a goddess in the center. Elina’s hands behind her back, brightly smiling at the maiden, a grey shirt and short black jeans on the girl.
“So, what is it you want to do?” Isa’s hand behind her head.
“Let’s hit up all the stores, and we can grab something to eat when we are done.” The girl delightfully turns from the maiden.
“Ah...it is just shopping, not the apocalypse.” The maiden sighs.
The maiden continuously out on a job, never experiencing the common simple pleasures. Her encounter with a pure person, flowing in the streaming waves with them.
Elina facing the maiden, soon confronting the individual. The person raising her chest, frowning at her friend. Isa steps back a bit in uncertainty, her eyes on the weird girl.
“Oh where is your spirit?”
“Don’t have one, sorry.” Isa’s hand covers her face.
“Well then, someone will have to find one.” Elina’s humorless vision on her.
“God help me...” The maiden slightly flinches.
Different shades of life, their small encounters shaping their way forward. These many colors proceeding along their path, some going further, bringing in something more.
The girl gripping Isa’s hands, happily pulling them onward. The two visiting numerous places, relishing in the pleasant day.
The maiden speechlessly watching her friend’s endless energy, a person grabbing one item after the next, stacking them on her.
Both shortly outside underneath the warm sun, Isa up to her neck in baggage, taking in the new experience to her.
“What in the world are you going to do with all of this?” Isa sighs.
“After I throw out some of my old stuff, I will decide at that point.” Elina faces them with a bright smile.
“I think you might want to see a therapist...” Disbelief from the maiden.
“Oh hush! I just have a habit of buying stuff...” The girl turns away, firmly holding down her hands in some embarrassment.
An unlikely meeting underneath the crimson light intersecting two lives, Isa faintly smiling at the energetic person.
A rare occurrence bringing her before an innocent soul, someone purely shining like a star. The two soon continuing onward in the afternoon, shortly finding themselves at a diner.
Both sitting across from one another by a window, their bags at their sides. The two setting their eyes on the menu in their hands, someone eventually coming around, taking their orders. The maiden’s mind on her current day, realizing her loss on some things.
“When do you head out again?” the girl holds her wrist.
“In three days, but this is not a long one. I just have to eliminate a creature in the next town.” Isa rests her arms on the table.
“Isn’t it difficult to constantly be moving about?” Elina looks down a bit.
“Sometimes it is, like now. It makes me think how much I miss out on.” The maiden softly smiles at them.
“I see, I guess that makes sense...” Some sadness from the pure one.
A person choosing her way, missing out on the simple pleasantries in life. An individual directing her path, firmly following through with her beliefs. The two chatting away the time, their food soon arriving.
Isa eating a bit, experiencing the blending flavors and sharp spices. The maiden quickly grabbing her glass of water, chugging it down.
Elina giggling, the person warning them beforehand. The sighing maiden, lowering herself a bit. Sundown eventually coming, both of them in front of the pure one’s house.
“I had fun today.” The girl’s hands behind her back as she faintly grins at the maiden.
“I suppose it wasn’t bad.” Isa turns with her hand behind her head.
“Maybe we can meet up again at some point?” the hazel individual curiously presses her index finger against her cheek.
A night drawing two to one another, setting forward a new direction in their lives. The sun soon going down, revealing the crimson light on them both.
A curse shining below, wrapping them in its warmth. Hope in those azure eyes, the girl desiring to have more time with her friend. Isa thinking for a bit, these pleasant sentiments with her.
“Well, I still have some time before I depart.” The maiden turns to them with her hand on her waist.
“Oh? Then maybe mid-afternoon tomorrow?” Elina’s hands to her chest.
“Heh, sure.” The soldier slightly smiles at the innocent one.
“I am holding you to it.” The girl faces away as she holds down her hands with her head a bit above.
Two flowing along an endless stream, enjoying their day with one another. Both parting ways, unaware of the future possibilities.
Hearts connecting a path, creating a new world between them. Elina moving down her walkway, passing through her gate. The girl soon facing Isa, closing the direction.
The pure one waving off her friend, brightly smiling at them. Elina turning away, heading to the tall building, a garden flourishing on both sides.
You were such a handful, but...that was just you. A bright, cheerful girl. It makes me think, what would have happened if I decided to stay home that night. Nonetheless, I am sorry for what I have brought upon you. I am coming, Elina...
