It was like every day. The group of warriors moved from battlefield to battlefield in pursuit of the dragon gate. Only today was different two new recruits had joined the group. A mercenary named Raven and a monk named Lucius. Little to the monks knowledge but he had caught the eye of a young pink haired healer.
"The nerve of her to come to my group and strut her long blond hair in front of my poor men in arms." Serra complained openly to her fellow healer Pricilla and friend Rebecca.
"I think his red haired friend is kind of cute." Rebecca said.
"Um serra about Lucius well actually..." Pricilla began before being interrupted.
"I know exactly what you mean Pricilla. I should go up to her and tell her who runs this group. ME and only me." Sierra said as she headed on over to where Lucius was walking.
"What was it you were going to say Pricilla?" Rebecca asked
"That Lucius is a um a guy well actually a monk also." Pricilla said
"Oh dear Serra is going to make a fool out of her self again." Rebecca said as the two of them watched Serra go marching after the unaware monk.
Feeling pretty darn confident Serra set her shoulders back raised her head to a dignified pose and tapped Lucius on the shoulder.
" Hello there. You're Lucius right?" Serra said her eyebrow-raised daintily.
Lucius a little surprised slowed down to match the steps of Serra.
"Yes I am, sister Serra. How are you today?" Lucius asked trying to be pleasant though he had heard from others to stay away from the pink haired devil.
"Cut the chit chat. Do you know why I have not spoken with you sooner." Serra asked throwing her pick hair over her shoulder and trying to act superior.
"Well I just joined the army about three hours ago and you must not have had time." Lucius replied.
"No that's not it. I just make it a policy not to make friends with girls who are as adorable and pretty as I am. I don't need anyone drawing attention away from me! So stay away from me and also Erk, Mathew and Hector. There all mine. Is that sinking in?" Serra asked looking critically at Lucius whose face was turning a little red.
"Yes of course but." Lucuis began.
"Oh and one thing! You can't come near me but you are to fully back me up as your senior cleric, got that? We serve St. Elimine right? I mean we are the same? Well, I take that back you're much older than me but I was here first so you follow my lead." Serra said with much authority.
"Well yes of course. However." Lucuis began but was cut off by Serra.
"What do you have some complaint?" Serra practically screeched.
"No no complaints… Its just … well" Lucius began stuttering and feeling mighty uncomfortable.
"Why do you have to be so annoying? Just tell me, already," Serra hollered.
"I am not a cleric. I am a monk." Lucius said.
"A monk?" Serra said stopping abruptly.
"Yes…" Lucius said turning around to face her.
"To be a monk don't you have to be? Well a guy?" Serra asked with a confused look on her face.
"Yes. Yes you do." Lucius said with conviction and kept right on walking leaving Serra there with her mouth wide open.
Rebecca and Pricilla had kept a reasonable distance behind Serra and Lucius while they had talked now the two of them ran up to Serra.
"Well what happened?" Rebecca asked.
"It's a man. I mean Lucius is a man." Serra said slowly trying to sink it into her brain.
"I tried to tell you that." Pricilla said.
"Ok now you two listen to me. He is off limits understood. He is all mine." Serra said with a smile on her face.
"Yuck like I would want a man that looks like a girl. No way." Rebecca stated. "No I much rather have his tall red headed friend."
"Does this mean I can now go after Erk?" Pricilla asked with hope in her voice.
Serra was so busy staring starry eyed at Lucius so she just nodded her head yes.
"I would take that as a yes. Get Erk quick. A chance like this doesn't happen every day." Rebecca said as she gave Pricilla a push toward where Erk was walking.
"So Serra what are you going to do now?" Rebecca asked.
"I am going to win that mans heart even if I have to die trying." Serra said loudly.
All the men in the group looked at Serra with fear and dread hoping against hope that she was not referring to one of them. However there was a smile on Sains face for he loved all the women of the group and having Serra go after him would be just fine. Mean while Lucius had finally caught up with Raven.
"What was that all about?" Raven asked.
"Serra mistook me for a women. Now I think she is in awe of me. Kind of creepy." Lucius replied with a shudder.
"All I can say Lucius is stay away from that one she has trouble written all over her." Raven said.
"Well hopefully she is on to bigger and better things." Lucius said with a smile.
Little did he know the pink haired devil was on to bigger and better things but that thing was him.
