prologue
I felt a warm light on my face, where was I? What happened? The last thing I remember... was a battle, and I had died.... Again. I slowly opened my eyes, I was expecting it to be a forest or some other uninhabited area, but no. I woke up in a comfortable warm bed, with fresh clothes, and bandages covering my wounds from when I died. The bandages were thoughtful.... But they were useless, my wounds would have already healed by the time i woke up. I sat up and pushed the blankets back, I put my feet on the floor and started to unravel the bandages from my arms and legs, by the time I was done, there was a large pile or white cloth on the floor. How damaged was I? I questioned myself, going through the battle before. " You should stop thinking of the battle... and thank the people who tried to help you, even though their attempts were pointless" A voice echoed in my mind. I never knew who or what the voice was, but it was always nice when it dropped by. It distracted me from all the other voices that intruded my mind.
" ... there wouldn't be a point, they'll all just betray me anyways, there's no point in making friends or relationships." I said. I often responded to the voices out loud, it might make people think I'm crazy(even though I think there right) it made me feel like was talking to a person I could trust, even if it was just something in my head. I waited for the voice to respond. "....... even though you might think it's pointless, it might actually help you, you can't just talk to me ya know. Plus... I feel like this will be better than the last time" They said. I thought about these words, could it be better?
"I know.... Maybe it could be better.... Would it be worth the risk?" I asked them. "Well sometimes it's okay to take risks, I am pretty sure you of all people would know that by now" They said, there tone half joking. I sighed.
"I guess you're right" I muttered getting up.
I heard footsteps coming close to the door that let into my room. I quickly got back into the bed and acted as if I had just took off the cloth bandages. The door cracked open ,and a girl with light blue hair and blue eye(I couldn't see her other eye because it was covered by her long bangs) walked in, she was wearing a dress of which mortal human royalty would wear. She looked shocked to see that I was awake, her demeanor said shy and reserved. I lowered my guard a bit, this mortal can't hurt me. I spat in my mind.
"O-Oh! Your awake!! I thought it would take much longer for you to wake up... my name is Elizabeth, how are you?" She said, it was a proper greeting. I decided to take a chance and talk.
"My name i Calix.... Nice to meet you... I'm.... Okay I guess" I told her, she seemed pleased that I was cooperating. She looked down at the pile of clothes on the ground, then at my unbandaged arms and legs.
"Oh my! Why don't you have your bandages! Your wounds can't have healed overnight!" She cried picking the cloth off the ground and throwing it away. I looked at her and laughed, she was funny.
"I don't need them! I am already fully healed, see," I said showing her my clear unscard arms, she looked in amazement.
"You must not be human if you healed this quickly!" she cried. I smirked.
"You catch on fast" I remarked. She looked up into my eyes.
"Wow! How is your eye doing that!" she exclaimed.
"Doing what?" I asked, she looked at me confused.
"Your eye, its like there is a rainbow in your iris! All those changing colors! it 's like theres lines of color moving through your eye! But only one of them, how beautiful!" she cried, I touched my left eye, she called it beautiful? No one has ever call me beautiful before... ever.
"T-Thank you.... No one has ever said that," I said bashfully. I felt my face go red. No one has ever given me a proper compliment, Elizabeth looked at me.
"No one?" She asked. I looked down at my hands.
"No one" I whispered. Elizabeth gave me A worried look, she sighed.
"Can you walk?" she asked. I looked at her and stood up with ease.
"Does that answer your question" I asked with a smirk on my face. She smiled.
"Y-Yes! Now. I'll get you some clothes and you can go down stairs to meet the others!" she said exited. Others? How many were there!? Elizabeth handed me the clothes, it was a pink frilly dress, I wasn't wearing this, not in a trillion years, I glared at it.
"I'm not wearing that" I said sourly. Elizabeth gave me a disappointed look.
"O-Oh......... I'm sorry, I can get you something else to wear....." She paused, "We don't have anything else for you to wear right now....." She looked embarrassed, "Um...... I'll have King make you something to wear, he's good at doing things like that. Stay here while I have King make something for you very quickly."
"No, NO, you don't have to have whoever this king is make more clothes, wear are my old ones?" I asked her. She thought for a second.
"Hm..... Okay..... But they are covered in blood and mud....." She said while pulling them out
"That doesn't matter, I can fix them... I think" I said, I was uncertain that this was going to work, i haven't done this kind of magic in a long time.... So I might be a bit rusty. I looked down at the soaked and ripped clothing. What the heck? what did I do!!? Suddenly before I used my magic there was a knock on the door.
"Elizabeth?" A male voice asked, "Meliodas told me that you know where Diane went."
"Yes King, I know where she went. Why are you asking?" Elizabeth asked.
"W-Well......." He paused, We're trying to get everyone together to meet the girl that we saved, and we've got everyone but Diane." There was silence.
"Oh! Sorry, Diane went out to gather ingredients for Ban, she's out in the forest. If you could-" King interrupted her.
"I'll go get her!" Then there was silence and you couldn't even hear him leave the door.
"Is he still there?" I asked, Elizabeth shook her head.
"He's a fairy, so he normally flies around and doesn't walk all that often."
"Huh..." I said, I have never met a fairy before, well I kinda have.... I've killed fairies, never really stopped to talk to them though. I focused on my.... Demolished clothes again, I put my hands on the ton fabric and started to let that magic from my eye seep through my body, the clothes glowed and shimmerd and morphed together fixing themselves and making them accustomed to this dimension. Elizabeth stared in amazement. After a few seconds, my fixed clean clothes sat in front of me.
I pulled the clothes on, I wore a long sleeveless red dress like tunic and a thick belt around my waist with a sword holder attached to it. I wore long titanium arm guards that had a built in danger that I could release and stab into my opponent. I wore long boots that went beyond my knees and matched my dress like tunic. Everything was lined with silver, it made my green and well... "rainbow" eyes pop, and it made my dark dark blue hair look black., and my pale light grey skin stood out more, I had to admit, i looked pretty good.
"Huh, not bad, you people don't have bad taste" I remarked, Elizabeth looked confused.
"Just go with it" I sighed. She shrugged and started toward the door.
"When your ready come down and meet the others!" She said cheerfully. I nodded and she walked down the stairs. I walked around in my boots getting used to them, then started down the stairs.
And who knew just doing that would be the start of my journey to becoming the greatest villain anyone had ever seen.
