Soul Chronicle/Cyril/1584

They were in the middle of a forest. In front of Cyril was the ginger-haired woman. "You will work for me," Aurora said, her voice commanding. Cyril nodded slowly. He wasn't used to be given orders, but he would grit his teeth and abide. This woman, he could sense in her a dark energy waiting. She also seemed to know what, or who, Cyril was looking for. All Cyril had to go by was a tainted energy signature that reminded him of his own. It'd been one he'd been tracking for awhile. It was his only lead on his father until now.
"What about them?" he asked as he tilted his head at the blank-faced dolls that were accompanying Aurora. She glanced to them with a raised eyebrow. She tapped her chin.
"You will face them in battle before you continue with me," she proclaimed. She placed her hands on her hips and Cyril smirked. "I want to see if there's any real use you can be."
"I wouldn't want to break your toys," he laughed, but took out his daggers. She scoffed, but was grinning.
"We'll see. Muse, Vision, go play!" She pointed at Cyril. Immediately, the Automatons ran at him. Cyril fulled on smiled. This would be too easy.
Cyril VS Vision and Muse
Cyril ducked as both of the dolls ran at him again, and the two collided with each other. He'd been making a joke of them the whole time he fought. They were almost too easy for him. "Alright, that's enough," Aurora said. The two stopped. Cyril jumped to his feet and raised his eyebrows.
"Like what you see?" he questioned. Aurora huffed but nodded.
"Let's continue on then," she said and turned away. Cyril followed after her cheerfully, smug.

The more they traveled together, the more they got along. Aurora was very open about her purpose and up-bringing. Cyril wasn't entirely sure what Soul Edge was or who Nightmare was, but Aurora seemed very excited to meet them. In fact, she was apparently planning to have their child. He didn't comment on how weird it was to want to to be impregnated by someone she'd never met.
The closer they go to Nightmare, the more dangerous their travel became. They kept drawing closer and closer until in a clearing one day.... Cyril saw a grotesque Knight. Aurora was delighted as they watched the beast of a man cleave through warriors with a wicked blade. Cyril could only assume that was Nightmare.
"Let's help him!" She grinned maniacally at the sight of Nightmare and turned to Cyril. Cyril swallowed and nodded slowly as Aurora, the dolls and he approached the soldiers now fighting in futile
Cyril VS Soldiers
Auroa was laughing happily and she twirled around in the massacre. Nightmare was watching her and Cyril had no intentions of getting any closer to that man. However, he again recognized the energy, and wearily wondered why he sensed a familiarity in it.
