Secrets Within The Cave (PAFP)

A village girl heads out to pick some berries. What she did not expect to find was a hidden cave where deep within someone who looks human but is a demon is chained up. wearing holy cuffs which keep him from leaving the cave. Instead of being afraid, she visits him every day. But then one day her village is attacked, and she asks for his help. Freeing him by making a contract, though was this really the right course of action? Considering this was the first step in the prophesy of the demon king taking over the world.

Your character is the demon.

Yeah! It is.

Just a name and photo is satisfactory enough, you can do more if you want.

Awesome! Any questions before I start it up?

While light magics (like holy magic and such) demons have much more trouble and are usually weaker with then darker magics. As well as have at least one weakness but other then that, nothing really.

Thats fine with me, since I sometimes have gaps in time while I am not very active as of late.

Any other questions?

Yep, thats how it is.

Thats fine, I am good with however your posts get written.

The day was warm, the smell of the sun, tree's and grass thick in the air of the forest. A cool breeze would brush past every time Lily walked into a tree's shadow, her dress and hair flowing with it. It was a bit before noon, when she and her family would eat. She was heading out to get some berries to have as a sweet treat after the meal. This time of year they were big, juicy and ripe.

Lily held her basket with both hands in front of her, starring down now and then at the emptiness of it, imagining for when it were to be full. It had her salivating at the thought. She really had a joy for sweet things. Her attention was grabbed away from the basket which she noticed a small rabbit. Awe, it is so cute.

In wonder if it was headed home to its own bunny family, she found herself following it. Going off the path and through the thick bush. A few leafs got in her hair and light scraped grazed her skin from a few sticking out branches but she was not bothered at all by these.

She was more interested in where the rabbit had led her, to a cave covered by overgrown vines. Lily was curious, having long forgotten of the berries as she headed into the cave. Darkness quick to surround her as she walked further in. To counter this, she grabbed an old unlit torch from a near by wall and lit it using skills she learned from her friend in the village.

Now having light to guide her so she did not trip on her own feet, she continued on. She began to wonder why she was doing something so stupid, surely their was no benefit and what if a wild animal rested here? Perhaps if she had turned back here, the encounter would have never happened.

But she pressed on and soon found herself at the end, where everything was lit by the low glow of magic stone's on the walls. While in the center against the wall there was someone chained to the wall. Her mouth fell a gap, unsure if she was seeing things right. Why was this person chained up here? Were they still alive?

The vines on the outside along with some things she noticed on the way here, was that this cave had not been stepped in for a long time. So it was a great wonder to see another here, a rather big shock. She couldn't think of what one could do or what reason why someone would be chained up like this in the middle of nowhere.

She walked closer, pausing just a bit away as she searched for signs of life, if she looked close enough, he seemed to be breathing. This made her feel relieved, though had another question growing. "Hello? Are you okay?" her soft voice had a faint echo to it as she examined him.

Even though she knew he was alive, she couldn't help but jump a bit when she saw his eye's open. Perhaps it was because he looked in such a bad state that it was rather shocking to see him able to do much of anything. Now that she thought a bit more on it, she wondered when the last time he ate, drank or even saw sunlight. She was unsure of his crimes or enemy's that landed him here, but she couldn't help but feel like you would seeing a caged animal off to the butchers.

Lily saw as he tried to speak to her, mouth open but no sound exiting. Her eye's widened a bit as she realized something as she blew out the torch and put it down. "Don't move! I'll be right back" she would want to his herself later for saying something as stupid as 'don't move' to a chained man later, but right now she was preoccupied with wanting to go get something.

She quickly left the cave, it was hard to say from another point of view if she would really come back. Plus their laid the possibility of telling someone that would make the situation worse. But as she appeared over 40 minutes later with a basket of berries and a small jug of water, it was clear what she had in mind. Even if this did nothing to aid his voice so her curiosity could be quenched, she was happy enough giving the necessities of any normal human. She felt he must be starving as well as very thirsty, he had to have at least been here for over a week or two, if anymore she was amazed he was still alive.

Then again, she was not observant enough to notice the holy chains and that the stones that glow and lit the cave were those which could weaken ones power. Connecting the two would clearly give the fact he was a demon away.
