Warnings: Outcasted, Assault, Depression
Relationship: Grian/Etho
~***~
Grian never really left the mansion that the hermits lived in. People were staring at Grian everywhere he went. It's most of the reason why he's never left the house.
Etho forces him out on day and notices Grian's uneasiness.
"Hey, you okay?"
"Y-Yeah... I'm fine." He said, hiding his face from the other, "Just... Being outside makes my stomach unsettle."
"How so?"
"Well-"
They heard someone gasp, then shout, "THE RED PHOENIX WILL RISE! BEGONE YOU FOUL DEMON!"
They then threw drinks and food at him, causing Grian to run out of the restaurant leaving Etho in confusion.
"Grian! Grian, wait!"
Grian hid behind a wall and crouched behind some trash cans.
"Grian! Grian, where'd you go!?" Grian remained still until Etho ran off. He sniffled and wrapped his arms around himself as he waited for the sun to fall behind the hills. He never wanted to go out, that was the main reason why.
The Red Phoenix
About five years ago, Grian was used as a weapon of destruction. He was constantly forced into his Phoenix form, very little was he allowed to be human. His black talons and black highlights on his wings allowed him to spread darkness throughout the world.
The red Phoenix had destroyed many cities, banished from three worlds after his escape.
When he met the hermits, he never turned into his actual form. All he knew was that he didn't want to hurt his friends.
~***~
With the sun behind the hills, Grian made his way back to the Hermits mansion, knowing that the group was probably worried out of their minds.
Etho had been pacing when Grian walked into the house at about midnight. He was greeted by the worried clamoring of the hermits.
"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?!" "WE'VE BEEN WORRIED SICK!" "Grian, you scared us half to death!"
Etho walked up to him, "Grian... Is that why you never leave the house? Because people attack you like that?"
Grian shook his head and left. Etho followed him up to his room, "Grian, you need to explain to me what's going on!"
"It's better if you don't know... Trust me."
"I refuse to take that as an answer."
Grian sighed, "Just go into the archives and find the books about the Red Phoenix, then you'll know, and you'll probably hate me forever."
Part 2?
