Biography[]
Season 1[]
In 304 AC, at Ladael Sh'Lael Slave Auction House in Lael, Karsel Kingdom of the Six Nations Alliance of Heid, he and the brown-haired boy approximately 17 years old, who appeared to be about 1 or 2 years older than Arin come to him. The brown-haird boy who was looking at Arin quietly opened his mouth. The brown-haird boy said huh, he was wondering why they put a girl here, but upon closer inspection, it's a boy. Arin surprised and shouted who they are two. He said to Arin that calm down, they're in the same boat as him. The brown-haired boy said looked like he has been conned by some awful people. Arin thought som other humans have arrived here before him, they look to be around the same age as his human body, so he will be staying here with them. Arin thought if he behave like these humans, he should be okay. He asks to Arin that so, how long has it been for him. Arin answered uh, how long, he mean his age, he's 300 years, he means, Rake said he should be around 20 years old. The brown-haired boy asks to Arin that huh, he meant, how long he have living as a slave, or it was his first time. Arin said uh, well, he doesn't know anything, Rake said he has amnesia. He and the brown-haird boy surprised and shouted he has amnesia. Arin smiled. One of the two slaves asks Arin that he does even know what a slave is. Arin answered uh, nope. One of the two boys asks Arin that then he does know what this place is. Arin answered nope. One of the two boys asks Arin that any idea why he got sold off. Arin answered nope. He asks to Arin that just what he does know then. Arin answered um, nothing. Two boys surprised. He sighed and said what a weirdo. The brown-haired boy said to Arin that well then, if he has any questions, ask away, they'll tell him what they know. So about an hour later. Through their conversation, Arin was able to learn a lot about the human world. Arin learned about the shiny objects called money, how one Gold was worth 100 Gilds, one Gild was worth 100 Sild, and so on. Arin also learned about slavery, nations, cities, and such... After gathering his thoughts for a while, Arin finally realized what his situation was. Arin shouted in anger that hold on, that does mean Rake sold him. He asks to Arin that he has finally realized that he has been conned. The brown-haired boy said how naive, he must've looked after him with the intention of selling him from the beginning. Arin thought Rake, he bastard, so he weren't a kind human. One of the two boys asks Arin that he was okay. One of the two boys asks Arin that he must be shocked. Arin begins to clench his fists and thought what should does he now, shuld he jsut transform back into a dragon and blow all of them away, no, if he did that, he'd be grounded for at least 400 years, he might not be able to see the human would again if he transform back. He said to the brown-haired boy that he can't trust anyone these days. The brown-haired boy said he must be shocked. He stretched and said well, it's no use thinking about it now. The brown haired boy said at this point, let's just hope they can get sold to a good place. They cover themselves with blankets. He said phew, he's tired, how long they have been chatting. The brown-haired boy said let's go to sleep, come on, newbie. Arin thought for now, he'll just does what they say, once he get sold as a sllave, he'll be dragged away somewhere. Arin holds the blanket with his hands and thought once he's there, he'll find a quiet place and transform back into a dragon. Arin lies down and thought after that, he'll kill everyone who was involved in buying him, come back as a human again, great, his plan was perfect. [3]
Season 3[]
The city of Lael was currently demonstrating what the word chaos meant. The streets were filled with screams, thieves were running rampant, and all sorts of crimes were occurring without a care. It was not just a sudden uproar. It was after a great disaster that could only be described as divine punishment had already struck. People were losing their humanity. The word order did not exist. Only a crowd of people who had lost their minds and were running away to survive filled the city. However, even in this chaotic situation, even in this hell where darkness fell over their heads and thick volcanic ash poured down like a torrential downpour, there were those who persistently pursued greed. Cecil, who had turned 16 this year and was a popular item at the Ladael Sh'Lael Auction House, was urging his feet to move through the thick black snow. Cecil moaned gasp, gasp gasp... At first, Cecil welcomed this disaster. To Cecil, who was destined to become a slave to the dirty nobles anyway, this disaster felt like a ray of salvation rather than divine punishment. At least, for the first disaster. However, Cecil had long since erased luck from his mind. Cecil asked damn it, he's okay. Cecil cursed and looked back at him he was supporting. The sickly boy was forcing his frail limbs to move and struggling to take his feet. Cecil shouted he has to move, if he stay like this, he'll die. Boy, He nodded weakly. He said it's... okay... His voice, weak but not yet losing his will. Cecil turned his head away. So that he wouldn't see Cecil's flowing tears. Cecil thought damn it. Cecil had finally escaped the fate of slavery, but what awaited him was death. Faced with this astonishing reality, Cecil continued to walk while crying. The only thought that filled Cecil's mind was his mission to escape the hell that had unfolded on this earth. It was then that he suddenly stopped Cecil in his tracks. He asked Cecil. Cecil turned his head. He was already sickly. He wasn't originally sickly, but rather, he had been made sickly in the auction house to suit the tastes of some nobles. Cecil opened his mouth, determined to carry him if he collapsed. Cecil asked what's wrong, He can't walk. However, his words were somewhat different from what Cecil had expected. He looked into the darkness and muttered quietly. He said the warehouse door is open. Cecil turned his gaze and looked where he was pointing. And then, in a moment, they were caught up in a conflict. It was a treasure trove where all the jewels and gold coins earned by the auction house were stored. Until just a moment ago, Cecil had only prioritized survival, but in that moment, the two letters "greed" began to appear in his head. He asked what they should do. He asked quietly, and Cecil just stared at the warehouse in silence. After a moment, Cecil shook his head. Cecil answered there's no time for that. He laughed. He said he knew Cecil had answer like that. They turned away without any regrets. That was when a long, loud noise echoed behind their heads. WHEEEEEEEEING! KWAAH! The two turned their heads in surprise. The hot volcanic bomb had hit the warehouse and caused a huge explosion. The two looked at each other. For some reason, no words came out. Cecil thought if they had gone in... He thought he would have just died... At that moment, it felt like someone had screamed from the warehouse, but Cecil quickly shook the thought away. Cecil said let's keep going, if they go towards Port Lael, there will be a ship. [4]
The streets were quiet before they knew it. The screams of those who had stayed in the city and had not yet escaped had also stopped. It seemed that they were all dead. However, there were still refugees struggling and running in the alleys near the port. Someone shouted him, there is not much sea left, he should cheer up. He said he knew, gasp, gasp... he can walk... The two boys encouraged each other and ran while hiding their bodies in the thick smoke. At that moment, an eerie sound split the air and flaming rocks erupted around them. Kwaaaaah! People shouted aaaaah. An explosion, followed by screams. In an instant, the surroundings became a pandemonium. Cecil saw the refugees crushed by rocks, those covered in hot lye flowing everywhere, and those who could not die right away but were suffering in pain. People morned ugh, ugh, ugh... It was a hell. And he was in that hell. He shouted aaaah. He screamed as he was buried up to his ankles in hot lye. At the same time, a strange sound was heard. It was a rumbling, strange sound like the soft howling of a wounded animal. Cecil thought what it is. Cecil quickly looked around as he raised him, and his eyes widened for a moment. The source of the sound was approaching from beyond the hill. Hot water streams were gushing out from various places on the surface, making a loud noise and flowing down. The piled up ash had instantly turned into mud. The stinging smell of sulfur made it hard to even breathe properly. Cecil began to walk with difficulty, carrying him on his back. Cecil thought fuck, fuck, fuck... Cecil wanted to curse, but he couldn't. The hot, suffocating air that made it hard to breathe surrounded Cecil and covered all around him. Even if Cecil took a little heavy breath, his throat felt like it was burning. Cecil clenched his teeth as he felt the weight of him on his shoulders starting to get harder and harder. He must have sensed that and raised his head. He said he's sorry, Cecil... His thin voice whispered in Cecil's ear. It sounded like the voice of the dead. Cecil shouted if he is sorry, he should live, he's telling him to live and pay him back. Snow fell relentlessly. Gray snowflakes that dyed everything black. He quietly closed his eyes. And he lowered his head weakly. It was becoming increasingly difficult to breathe. All that existed around him was the deathly air filled with sulfur and volcanic ash. His body was too weak to survive in this atmosphere. He thought it would be more comfortable to just fall asleep. He slowly lowered his head at this sweet temptation coming from somewhere. That temptation was so attractive to him right now. In his consciousness that was gradually fading away, he could hear the last voice of his life. Cecil's voice full of hope. Cecil shouted it's the sea. He raised his head with the last of his strength. The dark blue sea swaying beyond his dim vision came into view. He thought well... okay... Now at least Cecil can survive... He lowered his head completely, smiling faintly at the faint shout of his friend. The soft hair flowed limply from Cecil's shoulders and swayed in the air. At the strange feeling, Cecil, who had been immersed in joy at discovering the sea, turned his head in surprise. Cecil asked him. Cecil stared blankly at his friend who had fallen limply in his arms. Brown long hair swaying limply, eyes calmly closed, lips that were no longer breathing. Cecil supported him with trembling hands. Cecil raised his hand and wiped the dirty ash from his face. Cecil asked S-Shine. A pure white face was revealed. The pale, beautiful boy's face was no longer alive. Cecil sat down without realizing it. The volcanic ash that had been spread up to Cecil's ankles blew away. Cecil said him idiot... Cecil muttered in vain. Cecil said they're almost there... Cecil quietly hugged his frail body. Then Cecil looked up into the air in a daze. Cecil's breath was suffocating. Cecil coughed repeatedly. Cecil's throat felt like it's burning. The hot heat is getting worse and heating up the surroundings. Rumble... For a moment, Cecil's feet start to shake. The ground started to twist again. Cecil turned his head blankly. Now, even Cecil's will to survive has long since been broken, and he just instinctively turns his head toward the sound. That's why Cecil wasn't that surprised by the sight that came into his eyes. Cecil thought oh, he saw. What Cecil saw as he sat down was the sight of the city of Lael sinking all at once, as if some giant underground being was gnawing away at the surface. The world is collapsing. The endless abyss swallows the city whole and drags it into darkness. The loud noise, as if the world was turning upside down, rang out so loudly that it hurt Cecil's ears, and dust rose up thickly. The city of Lael, no, all the land in Cecil's sight was sinking. Cecil looked up at the sky with a sad smile. Now Cecil wasn't even afraid. Cecil's friend was already growing cold in his arms, and the surroundings had turned to jades. What could get worse? Cecil closed his eyes and opened them. And then Cecil let out a scream. The last scream of Cecil's life. Cecil shouted yes, do whatever they want, this damned world. [2]
