They lady sat on a chair with her legs on the top of a table, crossed against eachother and glaring at the two kids she just saved from the street.
"Huuufff.. Who are you guys and why are you here?".
Said the lady in an annoyed voice, staring at Ana and Eiser.
"Ummm... He–hello ma'am. We are tra-vel-lers".
Ana replied in a scared voice while constantly side eyeing Eiser, who just stood there frozen.
"Is that so huh? What are you guys doing here?
"Ummm We–we are here—"
"We are here to destroy those Chained Dogs".
Said Eiser in a calm voice, showing his determination and commitment to the mission.
Upon hearing this, the annoyed and domineering lady suddenly appeared to be dismayed by Eiser's words. She lowered her gaze and let out a relieving sigh that cleared the tension that her frowned eyebrows were blatantly revealing.
"So huhh? You wish to take them down huh? And what do you hope to accomplish by doing that?".
Said the lady in trembling tone. Her words came out in faltering whisper.
"My name is Eiser Alexiaris and this is my companion."
"I am Anastasia Ersa, Thank you for saving us outside. We deeply appreciate it."
Said the two, regaining confidence and with an unwavering dominant voice.
A gust of wind swayed her bangs off her forehead showing her beautiful almond eyes widely staring at the two, with her mouth slighly open and the sunlight from the broken window radiating her slightly opened glosed full lips. The two twinkled in her sky as the sun. Yet she tried so hard to hide her autonomous emotions that she bit her lips until it bled.
"Ahemmm!! I–i am Ju–julia. Y–you can stay here for the night. *Breathing heavily*. Since you're traveling, ofcourse. Ha".
Said Julia in a rather scared voice, showing a side other than delinquency.
"Are you alright, Miss Julia? You seem to be rather surprised"
Inquired Eiser while bending down to her knees and with concerned innocent look on his face.
Seeing Eiser's face upclose, his pristine skin embellished with brightly shining siren eyes, giving off a look of faith and hope, soliciting Julia to awaken that renounced hope for justice once again.
Julia just looked down, holding her hands tightly, whilst her front bangs hid her teary eyes and quivering lips that were break the fort at the smallest push. Her already tightened chest from her clothes suddenly felt more heavy due to which she breathed heavily controlling herself from giving in to hope for her utopia once again. For everyone has faced life differently, yet in an inferno it is excruciatingly hot and in the midst of that inferno was a fragile Julia, abandoned by the world, her world.
She couldn't bear to look into those deceptive eyes for long, for they took her back to her old, concealed, excrutiating memories of her past. The ones she had thrown away now. Those memories scorched Julia's mind hollow and transformed her into a powerful inferno, descended upon the people like once, was descended upon her.
Julia forced herself to be quite like she always had, but mayhaps it was the first time that she rejected the utopia she had craved for.
"Huh. *sniffle sniffle* You think you are some justice-maker by silencing down some people. Huh? It doesn't make a difference here. Take down the Chained Dogs? The ones who have taken over the whole Falu? Dont make me laugh kiddo. You wanna take some rest here, go ahead. But dont go spitting nonsense at people's faces that could get you killed. You got that kiddos?".
Said Julia while getting up from the chair and creating some distance between them as if not trying to show her hurt self, angrily stomping her feet.
"We are sorry Miss Julia but we too have people, who were taken away from us in the same manner. We cannot back down!".
Said Eiser, sharply, getting rid of his smile, whilst his eyes roaring like thunder meanwhile Anastasia in the back giving a sharp smile of admiration.
"You have your reasons? What are they?".
Inquired Julia.
"Well I was robbed of my family over 4 years ago and i have been looking for them with no luck but now i think i may be able to".
Said Anastasia while taking steps and standing beside Eiser.
"And I too was robbed of my guardian. We both are helping eachother to find our families and we think we might get a clue if we take down the Chained Dogs."
"Ha. Do what you will".
Julia said because she thought of things that she couldn't show. Perhaps she couldn't help but be reassured that they might be able to take down the Chained Dogs alone.
Julia looked troubled as if in a sincere dilemma for she too had words she couldn't say and things she couldn't express. Heply the blazing inferno had convinced her subconsciously to be sinister.
