”Pssst!!! Over here!” A voice seemingly whispered out of nowhere. Kenzo was startled to say the least. Looking around through the main hallway of the mansion, the mercenary tried to locate the direction where the voice came from. ”Around the corridor. Hurry. And try not to make a sound” The completely devoid of tone voice echoed through the hall once more. Intrigued, Kenzo walked slowly towards the origin of the summon. From the lack of expression that he could perceive by the voice, Kenzo could make a guess as to who was calling for him. ”Is it another of lady Merlin’s homunculi?” The man had met Abbadon the watcher the night before. He had found the poor armor wandering through the streets malfunctioning. After taking it to Merlin, she was able to fix it by cooking up a rather potent potion in an instant. From this meeting, he had noticed that the homunculi’s voice was completely devoid of any emotion. With that line of reasoning, thinking that perhaps this was yet another one made total sense to the man. Specially considering that he was now walking through the main hall of the sorceress’s mansion in Mercurius. However, this seemed to instantly dissatisfy the owner of the voice.
A sharp burst of pain surged from Kenzo’s shin. Lowering his head to notice what kicked him he was surprised to be met by a pointy hat and a, eye-patched girl. ”Who are you calling a homunculi? Don’t lump me with those lifeless things.” Rubbing his shin, the man answered. ”And you are?” The assaulter was a small child, barely a meter tall. She had blond hair and wore a red with white patch over her right eye. A wizard hat almost bigger than her head complimented the looks of her dark cloak. However, the expressionless face she had was the most striking aspect of her appearance. Simply turning around and walking away from the mercenary, she continued. ”I’ll have you know that my name is Luciel. And I’m daughter of the great sorceress Merlin. It is I who called for you this day.”
