Alexander Belos was many different things. He was a cold, unforgiving man, that many people never thought could feel emotion. He was also an orphan, cast out by his family at a young age during the Savage Ages. He grew up on the streets, practicing his magic, trying to survive. He learned that emotions were for fools, emotions never helped him. He learned the hard way that you have to eliminate things like emotions if you want to survive. On the streets, every minute could be your last. It was these ideals that made him strong, that allowed him to connect with the Titan and rise to power. That, however, was nothing more than history now. Today he was doing something out of character. He was taking a relaxing walk through the woods near the castle. His hood covering his face so no one could see it. Those images of him in a mask are hilarious to him. He only wore the mask to protect himself in battle, he rarely wore it now, but that image is so engraved into people's minds they are unable to see anything else. He figured today would be calming, until he heard a Griffin. Captivity Griffins are a very calm creature but wild ones can be quite aggressive. He looked out and saw someone being cornered by one. It was a young woman, perhaps in her early twenties. Upon closer inspection that's when he noticed.

"A human? Impossible."

He noticed her brush off the spider breath and was about to become the creature's next meal when Alexander sent a fire spell at the beast. The human and the Griffin turned and faced Alexander. He raised his staff and a red beam hit the griffin in the head. It flew off and the man held out a hand for her.

"Are you alright?"

"Y-yeah. I'm fine. Thank you."

"If you really want to thank me, then you could tell me your name."

"I-I'm Camilia. Camilia Noceda. What about you? What's your name?"

"My name is Alexander Belos. The Emperor of the Boiling Isles."

"Boiling Isles?"

"I can tell you are not from here. Your appearance gives me the impression that you're from the Human Realm."

"Boiling Isles, Different Realms, Griffins. T-t-this is too much to handle."

"Fear not, I will help explain this to you. All you need to know is that you're in the Boiling Isles, a home for magic. Every myth you humans have comes from our world leaking into yours. I'm assuming that's how you got here."

"Y-yes, I ran into this... portal to get away from this guy with a knife. Do you know how I can get home?"

"I will help you anyway I can. But tell me, are all human's as beautiful as you?"

"I-uh. I mean- I don't." Camilia said while blushing.

"Come, I'll help you get home."

Alexander didn't understand why, but he felt... weird. He's never felt this way before. And feelings for a human, no less! Is... could it be possible that he... was it possible that he was in love? He was feeling emotions. That couldn't be true... right?
