Story

In a city half filled with water lived a young priestess named Ariel who lived alone with one old woman running the temple she lived in all her life as she was left on the doorstep when she was a baby.

She has long blue hair in a ponytail and is very slim for her age with a small waist and slim legs of average length.

A lot of boys in the city admired her but she was very shy and rejected any men who offered her gifts horrified at company as she rarely exited the temple and never went to school, she had been homeschooled by her mistress.

All of it was soon to change though…

One night, five hours before her sixteenth birthday, her mistress had a backache and told her to get some herbs outside the temple.

The girl agreed leaving to pick herbs at the garden.

In the garden, she kneeled down, pulling the herbs, putting them in a basket, little did Ariel know a shadowy figure with glowing eyes was behind her.

When she felt a tinge of fear, she turned around, screaming at the dark figure before her, she picked up the basket and tried to run off, when it swung a large hand at her, knocking her down.

Ariel panted, trying to get up, however the figure grabbed her back, lifting her up effortlessly.

She screamed to alert her mistress, struggling but it's grip was iron so it wasn't any use.

She prayed inside her mind that her mistress would come to rescue her, hoping she still had enough strength to leave the temple.

She shut her eyes in panic, hoping she won't die, the smell of fire made her nervous but all of a sudden she felt the grip on her back loosen.

"Am I dead?" the girl asked, getting up.

She looked at her hand, it's still solid so she must be alive. Coughing, Ariel turned around.

A boy with extremely spiky brown hair holding a torch that appeared to be her age was looking at her, he was slim but with a bit of muscles, he clearly looked like he worked out.

She gasped, she never been near a boy before, should she run away? But he just saved her life!

"Hm? What's wrong miss?" the boy asked.

"I-I, I mean t-thank you for saving my l-life!" said Ariel.

She shook as she grabbed her hand, lifting her back up.

She noticed he was half a head shorter than her, she turned pink looking at him, he certainly was very attractive…

Oh dear she thought in horror, is this what her mistress called love? Is she going to-to… No she didn't want to think about that horror.

"Nice to meet you miss" said the boy "I was just passing by and noticed something odd so I passed by and saved you."

"That's v-very nice of you…" said Ariel.

"What's your name? I'm Blood."

"A-Ariel…" the girl was still shaking heavily, her heart beating heavily, she wished she didn't feel like this.

"I never seen you before, have you ever left this place before?"

"N-no…"

"Then you should explore, this city is wonderful!" he grabbed her hand, running.

She had to follow him along, curious about the world.
