Hell. Not the best spot for a journey when you have no map or general idea in which direction you should go... And not recommended place for a long walk but here she was, wandering through the areas of this forsaken place. It's been more than a day now since she split from Zerori and Zaks, trying to find Liari on her own. Hopefully, the two of them had better luck...
The cliffside wasn't the most dangerous place that Ayu saw here in Hell but after an hour of walking, she realized why not many souls were nearby. The dirt path in front of her and the ridiculously tall wall made of cracked rocks on her side made this place look as if it had no ending line. Maybe that's why this place was called hell. Just some old hills on her right, with a cliff on her left that simply kept on going... Perhaps it was another illusion? Nothing seemed to change no matter how long she was walking. The sharp gusts of wind flapped the fabric of her cloak, pushing Ayu back. Maybe if she could have flown she would be able to force her way through the wind but not on foot. Really - it was the tenth time she made a mental note of trying to learn to fly once more when she would return to the living world. As much as the desire to find Liari was making her take every step, she was aware that she won't gain anything by straining herself too much. Especially when it was getting colder and the wind grew harsh. Ayu tucked the hood around her face, looking around for shelter.
After some time, she saw it. Maybe it was a sixth sense or something called her but her eyes unconsciously were looking for something like that. A hole, an opening, an entrance. The crack in the wall created a path inside a cave that was tucked into the cliffside. That seemed like just a place she needed to wait until the weather calms down - or maybe, with some luck, she could find another way out, reaching a different place in Hell? Walking inside, Ayu heard the wind's howls turning quieter - she raised her hand, creating a small orb made out of energy to illuminate her path.
The cave itself was gigantic. The dark rocks were hiding some sort of gemstones mixed in the walls, their reflections illuminated by the light of her Ki. The pale gold glow seemed to soak into the ground but the place was too big and seemed to breach in every direction... What if she would get lost..? There was no time for exploring. Ayu turned around to look at the entranced full of greyish light and glanced at swooshing sand outside. No. The more reasonable idea would be to stay here and wait for the weather to change...
So she just did that. On the side of the cave, by the stone wall, Ayu sat down on her knees joining her hands on her lap. The orb gleamed between her fingers, as she stayed far enough from the entrance to not be bothered by the wind.
It hasn't been long but that journey was wearing her out. Still - it was a small price to pay for the possibility to see her sister once more.

May had not liked her time in hell that much as she rested in her new home and thought about what had brought her back to her current situation. She was angry about her lot in life as she felt a deep sense of hatred to the red ogre king for sending her to hell after she had died. He had said she had not lived a life giving to others and had been selfish and she wondered if he even knew anything about her. She had died literally protecting the very humans who had betrayed her and scorned her. She had worked alongside her mother to try to rehabilitate the Saiyan race into something that could be respected instead of feared. She understood she had not accomplished much in her life but she understood that looked at her as nothing but a demon. Unlike her mother May was a pure titan even if she was nothing but a child still. Coming to the world of hell had made her realize that she would be growing for years to come as her bloodline became stronger. But despite all that she really didn't care about anything besides being separated from her family noo.. That wasn't right at all. She was upset after being separated from her twin brother, not her mother. She respected her mother and even loved her but something had placed a wedge between them that matured her.
Regardless of her thoughts she had learned hell was just what its name suggested and hell down in the underworld where many individuals were fighting and generally just being pretty bad to each other. Luckily May, even though she had never trained to fight in her life, was already pretty strong and for the majority of the world's residents was off limits. That didn't say she was stronger then everyone here by a long shot. She had suffered under their hands several times before she had created her home. It was a cave in one of the more remote locations, a cave she had created and used magic to conceal it from the eyes of the world. From there she had created a home deeper inside using her magic to make herself a bedroom and living room that one could enjoy easier. If the denizens of the world found out she could create things she doubted she would have any peace. They would come demanding she make them this and that so they could fight to be the king of hell. A fruitless endeavor in this hellscape she had discovered long ago and could only laugh at their folly.
Today a storm raged outside and with the storm making May sure that no one would come up to the cave. She felt safe enough to lower her concealment of the magic guarding of the cave so she could rest her mind a little bit instead of constantly concreting to create a false image. After releasing her magic she turned and left heading to a back room to practice magic again and see if she could finally get food. She had spent weeks trying to create some food and finally figured it all out. The food was of poor quality and a living person would not be able to live off of it but it still tasted good .”” finally something to look forward to! Maybe I can even trade things with the ogres. They are generally pretty friendly as long as I don't act up and would often buy her things for whatever reason.
Suddenly she heard someone deeper in the cave and her hair on head stood up on end. Using a wave of her hand her magic turned off all light sources and snuck into the corridor to spy on her intruder. She had not expected to see a young woman sitting near the edge of the entrance and one that did not have a halo ethier. Did that mean she was alive? In hell?? The living should not be here at all but then here she was just sitting on May's front door. Hiding around the corner she observed the woman and after an hour or two she was able to tell more than a few things. One the woman seemed to be a very sad one or at least at the moment but May could not blame her if she was in hell alive.
Stepping from the darkness the young titan spoke in a soft assured voice that hid her age very well. May asked the young green woman several questions quickly . “” So what brings… a living being to this plane? If you can, I would leave as soon as you could before everything goes bad.”” In one hand she held a small bowl of tomato soup that was warm compared to the outside that had the girl shaking. The bowl, while not offered freely, was nothing but a test to see how the woman would react to her warm food.

Post by Ayu on May 3, 2023 10:46:36 GMT -5
The sound of wind and sand was almost putting her to sleep but Ayu needed to keep her guard up. An hour passed... Or more? She didn't move an inch from the spot she was sitting, her half-open eyes observing the world outside of the cave. The murmur outside was the only sound filling her ears, at certain moments sounding like a lullaby... But this was not the right place or time for rest. She used short meditations to gain back some strength, not exactly sleeping since she came to this place. Staying vigilant seemed necessary. It was Hell, no surprise that surviving in this place was, of course, a hellish experience. Though it wasn't as tough as the stone she was carrying in her heart. Wherever she was, Liari was somewhere out there, alone. Even if she hated and resented her, Ayu wanted to see her once more, she needed to tell her something, she...
She wasn't here alone. Ayu blinked and jumped in place, startled by the sudden yet soft voice without a warning resonating in the darkness. She hid the glowing orb in her hands and opened them again, so the light could shine on the person speaking. There were no... Hostile intentions which was new. To this point, she either met violent and angry spirits or quite indifferent ogres. The energy was reminding her of demons. The faint outline of a feminine, tall silhouette with some light showed her the picture of a peculiar person. A girl, a teenager, maybe not that much younger than her with quite the mature demeanor and tired look in her red eyes. No doubt that dying and being sent to Hell would add a few years of experience to anyone, so it wasn't right to think about her as of teenager... Her gaze was cautious in a way but she was still very calm. Wait. Was she her? The daughter of the Queen of Vegeta? Ayu raised her head. Zaks was a very beautiful and very tall woman and the person here reminded her so much about her... She didn't know her for long, Zerori and Zaks used a different path to move through Hell but there was some striking resemblance here. They both went to this plane because there was someone they wished to find and it seemed like fate's prank that Ayu met first the one Zaks was so desperately searching for... But was she really the person she suspected her to be?
And again, she found herself gazing at the stranger for a moment too long before she even realized that she was asked something.
"M-My apologizes, I didn't mean t-to stare..." Ayu put down the hood, rubbing her cheek that against her better judgment turned pink for a moment. Even in Hell, even with such a mission, she couldn't help but feel shy when she did something abashing like that. Great, first not hostile soul and she ended up staring... Fixing her braid and raising her hand to make the orb bigger, she looked at the stranger for a moment and then turned her gaze to the entrance of the cave. The storm was raging. "I'm looking for my sister. By any chance, have you seen a blue-skinned Majin named Liari here in Hell? She was... Killed not so long ago and I'm here to find her." Ayu's voice cracked gently when she told her that. Killed. Murdered. Dreadful words were nothing short of truth but given the situation that happened... A soft sigh escaped her lips when she closed her yellow eyes for a moment. She wouldn't be surprised if Liari would hold that against her, that she couldn't save her in the end.
"I promise I will leave as soon as the storm passes by." Ayu honestly said when she spotted the bowl of soup the demoness was holding. This must have been her dwelling then and perhaps Ayu disturbed her in the middle of her meal somehow... Still, the very burning question was stuck in her mind and she had to let it free before anything else. "This might be an awkward question and I apologize in advance if it's impolite of me..." A little troubled, Ayu tilted her head, craning her neck to see the stranger's face better. "Is your name May? The Princess from planet Vegeta?" she asked carefully picking words - but honestly speaking it was not a time and place for keeping anonymity. Her mother was looking for her. If it was May, indeed, she had to tell her that right away...

May at first judged the woman before her with a cautious eye for several reasons. First she was very much alive and Zaks could tell just by the fact she did not have a halo. She didn't fit in hell in the slightest as she was far to meek and shy compared to the residents. May would guess she was actually very strong despite her passive appearance or she was tricky in order to not have been killed yet or worse. If she had a guardian May might have been more trusting of her but if she really was powerful like may thought what was this act of meekness. May had learned there was no kindness in hell and was extremely wary of the stranger even if she was interested on who they were.
When she had spoke to the figure she would secretly admit to have startled them as it was fun and she hopped the place was not already turning into something twisted like the rest of the worlds denizens. She watched the stranger intently waiting on them to make a remark to her and slowly found herself waiting. It seemed like the woman was transfixed as her eyes took in May and examined her thoroughly. Just when May's patience was beginning to thin the woman looked even more startled then before as she lowered her hood revealing the slight blush that was running in her cheeks. This woman was either the best actor ever or she really was just a shy being. May was pretty sure she was just shy as The courts on Vegeta and embassies on earth had helped her greatly to see through lies. "M-My apologizes, I didn't mean t-to stare..." it would seem that this girl was just shy and had been transfixed with May. While the woman seemed shy she didnt seem to be scared of May so why was she intrested in May.
While she was thinking over what to think of the stranger she would Beat May to the punch and explain why she was here that left May honestly surprised. "I'm looking for my sister. By any chance, have you seen a blue-skinned Majin named Liari here in Hell? She was... Killed not so long ago and I'm here to find her." Liari had a sister? A sister that would journey to hell for her? Well that would explain how she was surviving here if nothing else. If she was even half as strong as liari she would be able to deal with almost anyone down here at the moment. Although at the mention of liari May face grew guarded and darker as she remembered her own run in of her as a child. "" No... I haven't seen liari. I ...admit I know of her but haven't seen her since I was small. Though I admit I fear whoever was strong enough to kill her.""
Stepping further into the Light May approached the woman to one not keep being rude by speaking from across the open Cave. Standing before woman May eyes took in her features her eyes scanning the green ones before her as she looked down at her. "" The storm will stay for a while maybe a few more hours before I can honestly tell you when it will pass all the way. "" After a moment she handed her the bowl of soup and while it was not that large of a bowl to May it would be for the before her. She hoped it was enough as she was used to feeding Saiyan's and not other species. "" Here eat... you are welcome to stay in comfort in the meantime. do not worry if you think you are intruding... having a conversation with another being without them trying to kill you or steal from you is most welcome. "" while May still enjoyed eating in hell it was not something that she actually needed to do or felt the need to but it was nice to take a moment to eat.
May would only wait a few moment to see if the Woman would take the food before giving a nod of her head to follow her further into the cave. She never would have thought she would be inviting the sister of Liari into her home after the even she had been forced to endure as a child. She personally would never forget running with her brother in her arms fleeing from the battle that would soon follow as her mother and liari Clashed. May was not one who could sense power levels or even fly for that matter but the fight had shaken the planet enough for her to realize the magnitude of the battle easily enough. her mother unleashing everything she had on liari had been a sight to behold and made her proud of her mother. Although it was absolute terror to see the condition her mother returned to them in and admitting to her that she had not even come close to beating Liari.
"Is your name May? The Princess from planet Vegeta?" May was broken from her thoughts by the stranger and came to a complete stop at those words. She turned her head to regard the person before her sharply eyes locked onto Ayu's accusingly. How did she know of her!?? Was all this a trap? "" I ... was "" She was surprised how at ease she felt around this woman and before she knew she had even responded to her!"" who are you? and how do you know me.??

It shouldn't be a surprise that Liari was well-known both among the dead and the living. Perhaps she would like that fame. Perhaps not... Anyway, what was a bit of awkwardness between two strangers amid sand storms and depths of hell?
"It was... A-An effort of many," Ayu's voice cracked again, lowering to a sad whisper. In the simple, yet honest reaction, she could tell that her new companion wasn't that fond of Liari. It's not like she could blame her. She made many enemies and the consequences of Majin's action were long-lived... Not only hers. Ayu was tired of screwing things over and over again, and she had only herself to blame. "I wanted nothing more but to keep her safe," she confessed with a soft sight, not exactly addressing that statement to anyone. She failed to recognize her changes. The Majin race absorbs other people and takes on their characteristics. There were times when in self-defense, Liari had to fight with strong beings with personalities that tainted her own... They were running so deep and she was still treating her like before, that was her mistake. That's what made Bluebell who she became, and her sister wasn't there to prevent that. Or even after, she couldn't help her with her new needs and they piled into a thirst for battle so strong, the mightiest warriors she knew joined their hands to defeat her.
It sounded so dramatic. So tragic. So... Tiring. Surely her burning hatred must be running deep by now.
"Oh, t-thank you," Ayu lightly bowed her head, when the gesture of goodwill caught her off guard. Basically, it was the size of the bowl that took her aback so - the thing was as big as her laundry basin... However, she had no problem taking the hot meal from the girl's hand. Smelling so nice was a Saiyan-like portion of tomato soup. Who thought that the sight of a mundane, everyday dish would gladden her so much in this place? After being so cordially invited further into the cave, Ayu followed her tall and striking new acquaintance. "Thank you for your hospitality," she showed her gratitude again, walking carefully through the cavern's uneven ground. The air here was different and frankly, she had to nod in agreement. Every other soul, spirit, ghost, demon, or unidentified creature in this place was trying either to kill her or bother her. "I m-might, well, not be the right person to say this, but I think you're remarkable." A moment of peace was indeed nice - but having a conversation without worrying about dying? In this place, it must have been a nice change. And to have this sort of place one needs first to obtain or make one. "I haven't been here long but I know that making a safe dwelling takes resourcefulness."
It took a moment before they reached the place and Ayu, well, asked the question that had been on her mind since she first saw her. Sharp eyes, straight posture, and a towering, unique figure. Of course, it was her, princess. Wanting to make sure of her identity, she asked honestly about it, leaving May alert. Maybe she should have done it more gently... All too familiar heat danced on her cheeks again.
"My a-apologies, I didn't i-introduce myself..." she murmured bashfully. Great first... Ekhm, second impression? No matter. The last thing she wanted was to make May uneasy. "My n-name is Ayu. I know what happened to you and your mother misses you dearly," she stated with a soft voice and took a deep breath. Finding in the princess's face the likeness of Zaks was easy, they both shared the same proud gazes. "That's why we're both here, in Hell. I'm looking for Liari, because there's something I would like to tell her," A sad, burdened yet still loving smile appeared in the corners of her lips. "And Queen Zaks is here for you. Our mutual friend Zerori created a gate to Hell so we could both find our departed loved ones and... I roamed into this side of the Underworld." She explained. She got lucky. Perhaps she could spot their energy signatures and communicate via telepathy? It wouldn't hurt to try. Zaks was worried sick about her daughter, struck by grief and rekindled by the hope of seeing her face again. "I'm not sure where are they now but your mother is here, in Hell. She is looking for you as we speak."

May was shocked to say the least. The turn of events was leaving her reeling more then a little but as she tried to process all of what was happening before her. The sister of Liari was before her and was almost the polar opposite of liari. Gentle to the point May wanted to pick her up and just protect her from everything in hell and the horrors here. That being said the girl had to have a strong heart to journey here to begin with...and power. She was liaris sister so she was sure the woman before her was much stronger then she had originally taken her to be.
It was not log before they were sitting in her living room or main cave room sitting on pillows on a carpeted floor as the storm ragged outside of her place. She knew she had done well hiding and building this little retreat here in hell but she was a princess after all. She still loved to hear some one else tell her so and stroke her ego a little bit. She didnt even notice that she had let her guard down from earlier. "" Why thank you miss.""
she smiled when Ayu told her her name and could not help but think it fit the woman standing before her. of course she would not get to think about it for long as Ayu kept talking admitting she knew about her life before and that was hard to hear in itself. it was even harder to hear about her mother in almost the same sentence. Her chest felt tight and she was over come with the urge to be angry at the woman in front of her but she could not since she had done nothing wrong.
She had tried so hard not to think about the living world as it only made her want to cry to think about all that she had lost since she decided to die defending the stupid earthlings. She tried not to think of the short trial she had back with King Yenma and thankfully it was easier then she thought. It was easy since Ayu was not done talking and brought her attention back to her. Her mother was here in hell looking for her and she could not help but place her hand to cover her mouth as she tried to suppress the sob that was there. unfortunately her eyes could not stop the tears from forming.
"" Mother is here? ...is she... you know... like you ? alive?""
her voice was choked up as she tried to maintain control of it and relaxed when Ayu explained that her mother was in fact still alive and looking for her. Her head turned to the door of her cave as she watched the storm outside and she knew it would be awhile before there was a break in the storm. As soon as there was she had every intention of searching for her mother. but in the meantime... she had a house guest.
Wait... was this a trick of hell? She turned her attention back to the woman in front of her. Was she lying to give her false hope? she would not put it past the people here to do such a thing but... her eyes made her want to believe her and so she would."" Thank.. you for the news... it will be a little while before we can leave safely. or at least Until i can leave safely. Take your time rest and eat... you wont find food or safe place in hell easily... I would now i was killed several times already.
it was true... you didn't die in hell just got hurt and if your body fell apart then you merely reappeared again to endure the torment all over again. "" Do you need anything? it cold here... my dead body doesn't feel it but i bet yours does."" regardless of her reply she would pull her magic up so she could create a blanket and gently placed it over Ayu's shoulders.

Mother and her child... To hear May trying to hide the sob and failing made Ayu feel like she should hug her, though she didn't want to stop her explanation. Besides, she was proud, she might not like it. Zaks and May were both similar. They shared a bond only a blood family had, making a part of her wonder... Was having a parental figure like that? If so, she thought about the Lookout and the kids that were living there with her. Of course, Ayu was their guardian, yet she wasn't their parent - did it mean that they lacked something, even if she tried her best? Or was it just self-doubt teasing her again?
However, she was glad that she saw something akin to hope in May's eyes, even if she was aware that they would have to wait for the storm to pass to leave this place.
Ayu placed the bowl of soup on the table near her, looking around. This place was fit for someone of May's height, with furniture and every object of an adequate size. It was a weird sensation... But she somehow felt like she was a doll taken out of a dollhouse and placed in a full-scale room. It was funny in a bizarre way, though it wasn't alarming or making her uneasy. She just felt... Slightly shorter than usual, but given the situation she was in, how could she pay mind to that? May was right. They had time so it was best to eat and rest while they could.
The saying went something like this - that bad people will burn in hell - though it wasn't true. The Hell itself had places full of unreasonably extreme weather, be it scorching lava pits or freezing mountainscapes. The desert outside of this dwelling was dry, cold, and windy. The cape Ayu was wearing was indeed helping, yet it already had signs of being worn out, and the hood was fraying at the edge. It needed to last longer. The cave was a perfect hideout from gales, yet not from the chilly temperature that crept inside the very corridors and hollows of this place. Ayu was about to say that it's alright, she will manage - then May's energy sparked and she pulled a blanket out of thin air. It was something else, magic... She hasn't herself gotten to the point of being able to materialize objects and thus so far was relying on the scarce equipment she brought along for this journey. Magic Materialization was a helpful skill, indeed. The girl wrapped her with the material easily and Ayu lightly stroked the folds of the gift she didn't expect to get. The woolen, thick fabric of the blanket weighted on her shoulder with a pleasant warmth. In a place like this, a small gesture of this kind could mean everything...
"Thank you..." Ayu smiled with gratitude, albeit a bit abashed. Pulling the blanket up she hid her hands underneath and touched her cold cheeks with a soft fabric. Warm... If it wasn't for the fact that she was so strong, it would be a given that she'd get a serious cold from the exposure. Funny how since her Ki grew it seemed that her body wasn't able to get, hm, typically sick. The pressure on her heart from the excessive energy in her body didn't count and even if she felt the slight tension now, it wasn't that bad. "I appreciate this very much," she looked at May with a genuine thankfulness in her gaze. "I might not know that much... And I-I'd hate to open up your wounds because I only heard what happened to you from others," her hands slowly curled into fists that held the folds of the blanket close to her. Zerori briefly explained the situation to her before the gate to Hell was formed. Ayu lowered her gaze, her eyes softening with melancholy. "I know there's no justification for this. Even if as an Earthling... T-Though not quite..." She stroked her rosy cheek with one finger, before taking a deep breath, trying again to from what she wanted to say. "Even if as a person living on Earth all my life I would want to apologize for what occurred, it could mean nothing to you."
Why would it mean anything? Ayu wasn't involved in the slightest in that situation, so her trying to express regret over the past incident could be outright weird, maybe even May could think she was mocking her... But that wasn't it. This whole thing, the fact that she died on the alien planet, had been sent to Hell, and roamed this place alone, knowing that this was now her bitter reality. Wasn't it too much? It made her heart ache to think of a twisted fate like this. Liari was sent to Hell for her wrongdoings but May? It didn't make sense and yet here she was, away from her mother, tucked in a small cave in the middle of nowhere. Something about this hopelessness fell heavy on Ayu, making her eyes teary. She wiped the tears away quickly.
"... But I wanted to say that anyway. Because you deserve an apology," Ayu straightened her back and bowed her head. "I am very sorry about what has happened to you May." Raising her gaze back up, she smiled at her in a gentle, understanding, and yet very sad manner. "You have every right to bear a grudge. You might hate the Earth, and I'm not asking you not to." There was no need to try to find excuses or makeup stories. Not that Ayu would. Telling her that she shouldn't feel in a certain way was simply wrong - every emotion, reaction, and feeling was something that one couldn't deny. Even hate was reasonable in Ayu's eyes, as long as it was both justified and wasn't going to poison one's mind. If it wouldn't be right, people wouldn't be able to feel it - or feel anything at all.
The bitter grief and loathing Liari held against her older sister was appropriate - it was only fair after everything Ayu did, or rather, didn't do. And May and her story weren't an exception.
"Though w-what I meant to tell you..." joining her hands together, she suddenly realized that what she wanted to convey might have sound... Goofy? Was it maudlin? Were her emotions running high once more because she was an empath..? Ayu got abashed again though she held her ground even with the raspberry-colored blush rushing to her face. "I'm glad," she finally spoke softly after a pause and smiled somewhat shyly but with an honest appreciation. "Despite t-the hardships you got through and this unfairness, that I can only wonder how much it pains you... I'm glad that d-despite it all you're still kind." It wasn't only about the blanket that protected her from the chilly air. May offered her a warm meal and showed her this hideout - a safe place that was only hers, she let her in willingly when she found out that she was a stray living being. She knew she was Liari's sister, she might have been a threat to her or she could suspect that Ayu was from the plant she despised. It was kindness that one couldn't expect to see in the depths of Hell. "Even if it's only me... Thank you."
Looking at the wind outside, at the dim light and the dark sand slashing through the air, each grain as sharp as a blade... Ayu couldn't help but feel a deep sensation of thoughtfulness.
"This place can kill hope, I can feel it," she unconsciously lowered her voice to a calm whisper. Dying one time after another, fighting for survival... It was hell, through and through. Dende's words came to her mind when Ayu was suddenly reminded of one of his tales. "My teacher told me once that it takes courage to be kind when the world is against us." So it needn't be said that May was a courageous being, to stay sane and kind in this hellish plane.

May Finally got a hold of herself and was Glad she was able to help Ayu out with Food and warmth. In a way it reminded her of taking care of a child despite the fact she knew Ayu wasn't. No that was not right she could not help but think to herself as she tried to figure out what she was thinking of. Just helping a friend was a much better way of looking at it. She may have just Met Ayu...hehe May.. she almost smiled at her own mental pun but quickly got back on track to her previse thoughts. Ayu was friendly and while they were likely to never be close friends she considered her a friend just for being kind to her and bringing her new of her mother.
Of course she was pulled back into conversation with the much small woman her focus taking her back in and listening intently at her words. Her own mind still full of resentment pulled apart every word she said and tried everything it could think of to spin it into a Lie. To deny her honesty and there fore peace it would bring. In the deepest part of her heart that was covered in a dark haze wanted to believe her. Her pain told her to blame everyone on earth but her heart weakly said otherwise. And it was that weak part Ayu's true feelings of sorry for her fate spoke to. ""... I Thank you" After a moment said in response to Ayu. She really didn't know what to say.
May was angry at the fact she had died saving people, that she had died a hero's death. What did she receive for her trouble? Pain... That had been the gods Answer for her good deeds. She had been betrayed by the people of earth... she had learned that since coming to hell were the very Mercenaries that had killed her were sent. She had learned a Lot from them after she made them talk to her about every detail they knew. Her anger was dark and Dangerous and she knew it. She knew she needed to keep it from Ayu...for she was far to kind for the truth. The truth that she wanted to get Revenge at the injustice done to her.
But Ayu then kept speaking about how she did not blame Her for bearing a grudge if she did. No she further explained that she only wanted to express sympathy and regret on what had happened to her. it was a new feeling for the young princess as she was only used to receiving that sort of kindness from her mother and no one else. it was...nice. "" Being civil here... with out waking up to find out you were killed in the night so they can take your stuff... well that's its own reward in a way.""
"" Thank you... It doesn't really help how i feel about the earth but...well lets just say that it is still nice to hear." May tried to keep her feelings to herself in order not to burden The young woman. After she did not deserve her wraith or anger for reaching out in kindness. This did not feel like lip service so she was glad to hear the words that might have sounded condescending from anyone else.
May smiled at Ayu's thanks with a small smile on her face. Since coming to hell she had not received any kindness but also had not had the ability to show any to others as well. surprisingly enough Mays own upbringing before escaping her own pocket dimension had been lonely. while she often wanted to be left alone to her own thoughts she never truly wanted to be alone. In hell though she until now had been just that alone. Alone in her own personal Hell and even if Ayu did not notice it she was more then a little welcome her. Giving her some companionship and making it a little less lonely.
"" Although ... I don't find it hard to be kind to others. I personally find it hard to trust others.. They smile in your face and stab you in the back.""
turning to look back Ayu she could tell the blanket was much appreciated but she had been traveling in the storm and May doubted she was gonna be comfortable to a little bit. "" Is there is a anything you would like to do while the storm is raging? Or want? Hot coca? found out i had an Addiction to the stuff after having it back on earth. along with Ice cream...but with the coldness here I don't you would want that.""
"" I... have to ask Will you be ok in hell ...by yourself? i am unsure how long you will be here looking for Liari as the world of hell is vast... and well you Give out sense to those of us that are sentenced here."" May did not want to tell her that something in her wanted her to fix the fact she was alive... it was only small small part. But it was there and for May it was easy to ignore but others might be not the case. "" If you need I can travel with you...or At the very least give you a base Camp to rest in ..I can make the place more Livable if you need it to be."" May was not sure why she wanted to help Ayu... Maybe it was the pure kindness she radiated off or the fact she reminded her of a silver haired child she found in the wilds of Vegeta. It didn't matter really she reasoned. she just felt like it and that was that.
