Prefatory

Camp Arietis is about to have a new unusual member. A member like no other ever seen before. No one knew her identity. They were not even cognizant of her gender detail. She was known only as the mysterious camp member with a very cold aura around her, even colder than that of the frost princess.

Alaria Seraphina Doom

Two simple words to describe her, Cimmerian and Mysterious. She has a morbid ambience that gave not even a glimpse of the stygian blackness of her heart and empty soul. Some might say she was a walking dead, but I don't think Alaria's reaction to trespassers was anything like that of the walking dead.

She keeps herself hidden from the world but at the same time, she was conspicuous everywhere she went. Her presence filled the whole place and people with a natural sense of fear, her authority commanded rapt attention.

With all these striking features, you'd think no one would ever want to cross her path, but she has enemies, people hunting her down, people wanting to know what lied under the hood, curious about the commanding powers this mysterious person possessed. People wanting to use her for a ‘befittingly purposeful cause’.

As much as she hated the attention, she couldn't help but call people to herself. It was not a willing action. I mean doing something so impossible, something that could only be done by people as powerful as the gods themselves, on your first day, on the day of your arrival to the camp, you were bound to gain attention everywhere you went. Her name was being whispered in every nook and cranny of the camp.

But amongst all these people, ones trying to capture her, ones trying to grasp her unnatural powers and ones that just hated her very existence, one person stood out prominently. This person albeit, irritated her more than her thousands of enemies. This person though was neither trying to kill her nor hunting her down. This person wants to uncover all her secrets and know the source of the darkness in her soul. 

He wants to help her, he wants her to see the world in a new bright light. He wants to cleanse her spirit and make her feel emotions other than numbness. He wants to make her actually feel something, something she hadn't ever felt. This person is curious and wants to change her life totally and she detests him for that. 

He was curious about his unusual behavior as well. He couldn't understand what kind of force was constantly pulling him towards this cold and seemingly lifeless being. His brain, his every being questioned it but his heart yearned for it.

Can he handle this tenebrous being or will the thirst to uncover this labrinth drive him mad?...
