"Child if you don't hide yourself now. You're going to be devoured." His words instilled such horror, terror and fear in your veins. Like as if cold ice has been dumped in your whole body so abruptly. 

Whatever this man is talking about, he says no lies as his eyes told everything you should know. He isn't lying, the fear and panic in his eyes are too obvious. 

"W-what do you mean devoured?" You asked, finally having the courage to talk. This man looks like he's someone you can trust but you can never be too sure. You want to know where you are, what kind of planet you've fallen on. 

This place looks so strikingly like the country-side, a medieval version of clothings and civilization. The people, they look like humans at first glance but once you look at one in a close proximity, you'll know they're everything but a human. 

Taking the man in front of you as an example. Taller, more stronger, buff and has these striking Red-colored eyes. His hair has a deep burgundy hue, a not so natural hair color in your own place. 

"There's...there are terrifying creatures out there Child." The way he speaks and the way he keeps calling you child makes you think that he's quite the fatherly one. 

But you can't trust him fully yet, what if he's one of those creatures he's talking about and was only pretending to help you out? That's how some of the vicious hunters lure in their prey. 

Pretending to be an Ally but stabbing in your back the moment you turn around. Cunning snakes. 

"Creatures who love preying upon humans and especially souls to extend their lifespan." He said, pursing his lips under his thick coverage of burgundy beard and mustache. 

Creatures. Creatures who eat humans and their souls just to extend the being's lifetime? Just the image of it made you shiver, heck it terrified you more knowing that YOU'RE the person they're going to come after for. 

If the others find out, these beings will know and will come and hunt you down. Kill you and devour you mercilessly for their own selfish gains. You don't want to die again, you want to live. Not again. 

Is this the real reason why you're summosed here? To be a sacrifice?

You started to shake in fear, wrapping your arms around yourself and rubbed your arms up and down in an attempt to comfort yourself. You started to be fidgety, looking around in paranoia in case those 'creatures' creep out of nowhere and eat you. 

The man seems to sense your panic that he raised his hand to touch you but he knew it's not a good move. It will only led you to panicking more and it made him feel sympathy for you. 

Being a human is hard and the things they've gone through made him all the more sad. The old man felt his natural protective instinct flare up. 

As a Soralian, Ricardo Catalla felt his blood calling at him. It's an natural feeling to have, every different being seems to have these feelings for humans. 

For example, the beings from Soralia in particular, feel the need to protect humans and help them but can't. Only brave people have the courage to go against an Empire of carnivorous beings. 

But Ricardo, seeing you shaking and looking so paranoid, can't just stand still. His instinct is telling him to help and that's what he's going to do. Even if it's only in a mundane way, he's going to do his best.

"Are you one of those creatures?" You asked, looking at the huge man in front of you. You don't know know what his name is, what his age is and what he even is. You can see the sympathy in his eyes but you can see it steel in some kind of determination as he answered your question.
