Aria Lysveil — one of the protagonists of my book. She was ice-cold by the time protagonist found her in the academy but through perseverance and connection with her on an emotional scale; She became a necessary key to helping in the final battle before becoming a potential love interest at the end of the book.
'Elior, you busy?' Aria asked smiling looking up
'No', Elior answered.
'Want to go for a walk?' Elior asked
'Sure'
As they walked down the town streets — which were more bustling at night earning the town the title of "The night Paradise".
'Are you still going to the academy', Aria asked.
'Yeah, I decided that it was best for me', said Elior looking forward
Elior couldn't help but stare.
'When I designed her, I just threw in everything I liked about a heroine... but seeing her in real life is something else entirely., she sure is stunning', Elior said in a soft voice little enough for Aria to hear.
Her blue hair and blue ocean colored eyes reflected radiantly under the moonlight like a goddess descending from the moon.
'What changed your mind because I know I couldn't make you change it earlier today', asked Aria looking intently
'Hmmm….', Elior clearly in thought before adding 'You. I think you got to me' staring back at Aria.
Aria turned her gaze from Elior hiding her embarrassment.
'What's wrong?'
'No-Nothing', answered Aria.
Silence.
They walked for a while before Aria stopped in her tracks.
'What's wrong Aria?', asked Elior
Nervously holding her hands, Aria spoke 'I am not sure if I want to go to the Academy, they are so many students with more vast potential than I'.
Elior stopped for a moment.
Holding Aria by the shoulders startling her 'I think you will do a fantastic job there much more than you are expecting of yourself'.
'Yeah…I guess', Aria said smiling faintly.
Silence as they walked before Aria broke it.
'Elior, do you have any plans, I was hoping we could go somewhere', asked Aria softly
'Sorry Aria, I will be going somewhere at dawn tomorrow morning', answered Elior.
'Where might that be', asked Aria puzzled.
'*Shoot*'
Elior deep in thought 'It's not like I can tell her I am going to the Silver Hollow, she would not allow it'.
'I am sorry but it is private to me', Elior answered.
The solution Elior had come up with 'Hiding the truth in plain sight'
'Oh sorry, it must be that important to be private', answered Aria.
'Yeah'
The night went peaceful afterwards, they played games, ate food and danced to the rhythm of music being played by strangers.
Arriving back at home, Elior laid back down on his bed.
'Wow, I didn't know this world was so beautiful, my expectations have been exceeded', Elior added 'I cannot leave just yet, I need to start packing for my trip to the Silver Hollow'.
Elior got up and start packaging, packing supplies, he wore a leather jacket, black trouser and a black shirt.
Checking the time, '3:00am', Elior began to leave his home.
Jumping from the window, Elior began walking away from the mansion, he had began his journey.
The journey towards the Silver willow took longer than Elior had anticipated, it was a dread walking and after for a couple of hours, Elior decided to take a rest in the fields.
'I never expected this journey to be tiresome'
Laying down, Elior looked up at the scorching sun before deciding to rest under a tree.
In that space of silence, Elior stood up 'Maybe, I need to do some practices'
Calling for Kurotsume, Elior held it in his hand; 'I never expected it to be this beautiful'. Elior took a stance before taking some swings, he wanted his strikes to be effective enough to kill whatever monster he was bound to face in the Shadow willow.
Each training with the sword, Elior sat down allowing himself to take a meditation pose.
'I need to get a grasp of Arcana', he scoffed.
Remembering how Arcana worked, Elior knew he did not have to force Arcana, it flowed through his veins; he had to concentrate and let nature just take its course.
Moments had passed and still nothing but Elior was patient, waiting for the time it will pop up, tiny bubbles of arcana began appearing in the air, Elior could see it. They were distorted but enough for now; Elior opened his eyes saying 'That is enough for now'.
Checking his time which was now 3:49pm, Elior began to move. The journey continued but it was peaceful. Elior just walked quietly walked and found comfort in this fictional world he had created.
'I never expected it to be this beautiful', Elior said looking towards the sky.
'I just hoped they are no looking for me back a home'.
'Lucky, I kept a note by the desk just in case, they are looking for me' Elior said looking satisfied.
'Well, I am not', said the figure cutting in.
Elior turned back in horror to look at who was talking to me
'Aria, what are you doing here', Elior asked looking horrified.
'I saw moving early this morning and decided to follow', Aria said a big grin across her face.
'Great, Elior thought, just what I did not need,'.
Elior sighed.
'Since you are already here, let's go'
Aria eyes lit up as she said 'Yeah!'.
While walking the atmosphere was silent and Aria knew exactly why it was that. Cutting the tension, she spoke
'Are you still mad at me'
'Nah, there is no point', Elior said looking ahead.
'So, where will be heading to now Elior?'
'I rather not say till we get there', Elior said with a nervous grin.
They continued walking and chatted along the way; the tension had calmed down.
'I can't stay mad at her, I just didn't want to put her in grave danger', Elior said deep in thoughts.
'El-Elior, where are we', Aria said holding Elior shirt nervously.
Elior breath a long sigh before speaking 'We are at our destination- The Silver Willow'
