Bound By The Erstwhile Chains

Camp Arietis is about to have a new unusual member. A member like no other ever seen before. No one knows her identity. They're not even cognizant of her gender detail. Nothing about her is known, not even her face was seen and the curiosity constantly ate deep into the entire camp. She's 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 gives only a glimpse of the stygian blackness of her heart and empty soul. Some might say she's a walking dead, but I don't think Alaria's reaction to trespassers is any like that of the walking dead.

She's been through thicks and thins, thorns and spines and even hell itself, refuses to serve as her solace. She was left alone in a world devoid of the comfort a child sought.

At a very young age, she lost everything she ever had, everything she ever looked forward to was snatched away from her in the blink of an eye with no hope of coming back, with no hope of happiness for her future. 

The pain, the anguish, the agony, the cries, everything became muffled, reducing as the hope slipped away bit by bit until there was nothing left and she succumbed to the numbness, to the darkness that pulled her in and gnawed at her soul. 

She keeps herself hidden from the world but at the same time, she's conspicuous everywhere she goes. Her presence fills the whole place and people with a natural sense of fear, her authority commands rapt attention, one of which she doesn't seek or ask for.

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 lies under the hood, curious about the commanding powers this mysterious person possesses. All of which she had no idea as to why she became the centre of attention. 

She used to be the little girl in the countryside living with her parents in a cute and petite building, surrounded by rows and lines and endless gardens of flowers. To the outside world, she seemed non-existent and she was more than happy to live in her own little bubble with her family but one tragic day, that all changed.

Amongst all these people that sought her out, one person stands out prominently. This person irritates her more than her thousands of enemies. This person though is 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. This person is curious and wants to change her life totally and she detests him for that.

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