He wasn’t entirely sure what he expected to walk out of the metal armor, but it certainly wasn’t this. As he initially said, a young lady appeared from beneath the metal, but he couldn’t help but think back to his last summoning and wonder if this grail was mocking him as well. A weak laugh left him as a hand flew to his chin for just a moment.
“Well aren’t you a looker.” he laughed. “S’pose that’s just how the Caster Class likes to do things.”
“I’m beginnin’ to wonder if this might draw more attention than havin ya follow me in the armor, but it’s a little late for that now.”
Pulling out his Triplicata, he began to walk forward, looking over the information contained to double check on his surroundings. A few steps in he paused, turning to the silver-haired girl.
“I have a feelin I won’t expect the answer, but just what sorta place do you come from, Shurelia?”
“What do you mean? I look normal, don’t I?” Granted, she was wearing only the inner suit of the Linkage, and it was skintight, but it wasn’t as bad compared to some of the outfits she’s seen. And at least she was wearing clothes, unlike someone she knew.
She followed him closely as he started walking, turning her attention to her surroundings. The city was different from what she was used to, it spread out both towards the sky and along the ground. Greenery cropped up in surprising places, boasting the planet’s life. She wondered what the [Wills] who governed this planet were like.
“What my world is like...? Well..” She paused, looking up at the sky. “Its not as pretty as this place is. When they told me, when I got here, that the world was destroyed.. I wasn’t surprised.” She let out a sigh, shaking her head.
“My world is confined to three towers, each supporting only a small population of humans, reyvateils, and other forms of life. The Towers rise up high into the sky, and there isn’t much land, or living space, on any of them. The surface of Ar Ciel, our planet, is covered in a cloud of poison that melts and destroys all living things. We call it the [Sea of Death]. The planet Herself wishes to get rid of all living things, and uses the Sea of Death to do so. The only way we can live is on the Towers.”
“But life at my Tower isn’t bad. There are two sections, the Lower World and the Upper World. We used to not have any contact with each other, but that’s changed within the past year or so. While the Upper World has some of the lost technologies of our past, the Lower World has its own technology and actually understands it.”
“I’m the Administrator of the Tower, so I don’t usually have time to interact with anyone. I stay up towards the top of the Tower and keep its functions intact, and I have been for a long, long time.” She realized at this point she was rambling, and went quiet. Shurelia then laughed softly. “I guess its probably not a normal situation, compared to other worlds. What is your world like?”
