Chapter Two Keroberos

1.Keroberos

　

I stepped into the plane after I had a quick smoke at the entrance. Smoking helped me calm my nerves. I understood how unhealthy it was but most people who shared the same type of Anes as myself tend to smoke. You probably don‘t understand so allow me to explain.

There are four different types of Anes, which were based on the four Elements. That meant fire, water, air and earth. Spirit could only be used by the gods. As for me, I was part of the fire race, the Seraphim. We are called followers of Lucius, the fallen angel, or as many know him, the devil. Seraphim are known to be destructive but also passionate. Next was the earth race, the Terran known to be stubborn and very combust. The third race was air, the Amun. This race consisted of calamity and peace but they were also known to be cold hearted.

Last but not least was the water race known as the Nereid. The rarest of the group due to a war between the archangel Gabriel and Lucius himself, lots of Nereid were killed by Seraphim due to the war conditions. There was a rather large population difference and the Nereid clan were defeated and erased from the earth‘s face. They used to be known as beautiful and mysterious. Most of them were doctors and healers. A very gentle race as I heard. You were also probably wondering what a high ranked Seraphim as myself was doing here at a foreign airport of a terribly cold country. I was to escort the new found Nereid survivor to the Academy. I was considered good enough for the task. I am not bragging but you should know that I am one of the top ranked Seraphim in the world. The Oracle, or the higher ups as you would say, had to send me on this task. I felt humiliated having to watch over some brat. I would not show her an easy time, that much I assure you. Then lets get going. I went back into the Airport and listened to the speakers above me. „ Aurora Dawn, last call for passenger Aurora Dawn. Please board the aircraft,“, It said. The woman behind the microphone was probably a little girl, she sounded too innocent and sweet. I boarded the aircraft in a hurry to find my seat and give the brat a hard time. Just thinking of what I would do to her made me smile. Call me evil but don‘t expect different form a Seraphim. I found my seat on the plan and jumped onto it, just to make the brat sitting next to me realize who was next to her. Swiftly she turned her head to face me. I gasped. I was astounded to find such a beautiful person next to me. Long black hair tied to the back of her head, and big blue eyes staring at me with such amazement. Her eyes were somehow not completely blue though, they looked rather… purple. A strong nose following down to a tiny pouting mouth. A long face leading to a pointy chin. Long, thick and black eyelashes embroidered both here upper and lower eyelids. The strange thing was, her eye colour was a shade between violet and blue. My, for a minute there I forgot my mission. I cleared my throat and put on my most charming smile. Then I introduced myself:“ Hello, my name is Seth Keroberos. Nice to meet you. Are you Aurora Dawn?“

The look she gave me in return to my introduction was actually rather amusing. It was a mix of astonishment and curiosity. She removed one white earphone from her ear and held it between her fingers.

„Um.. Um yes, my name is Aurora Dawn. How did you know that?“, she asked in a quite voice.

„Oh, actually I was sent by the academy. I am to assure your safe arrival at the institute. I haven‘t been told any details.“, I answered still quite amused.

„ In that case thank you very much Mr. Keroberos.“, she said with a kind smile.

Then I said something I normally would never say:“ Please, call me Seth.“

Ouch, ouch indeed.

After the shaky start we actually started a decent conversation. We talked about how awful the weather was and about her family. From what I heard her tell me her parents were loving and caring and her brother sounded like a laid back person. I tried not to tell her a lot about me though. I must say there are a lot of thing I did which I am not proud of. Though after an hour of talking I had to go to the loo. As I returned I found her asleep. Her head was against the window and her hands on her lap. I smiled and slowly slipped into my seat. Nowadays its hard to find people like her. The innocence displayed in here eyes made me curious. There goes my plan to torture her. My only fear is that people will want to stain her innocence in ways unimanigable for the human mind. Not that I am worrird about her. Its none of my concern.

 Well lets see what the future holds for the last found Nereid. This should actually be rather interesting...

Author's Note

Again please ignore grammar mistakes.
And please tell me if my writing style has changed a bit. I tried to change it a bit so Seth didn't sound like Aurora. Anyway please enjoy chapter two ;)
