Notice Me Luzrius 2

Feeling

"....ruis"

".............Luz........ri....."

Luzrius can hear someone calling to him. It seems distant but close at the same time.

"......Luzri........Luzrius! "

He wonders who is calling him.

"Luzrius!"

Suddenly, the tall demon's eyes opened.

Luzrius noticed that he's on the ground and sat up. His head is pounding but he has no recollection of what happened.

"Thank goodness you're awake!"

Looking down, Luzrius realized that he is not alone.

A woman with one eye was sitting bellow him. Her black long hair with a small lock of it covering the missing eye. Parts of her body are stained with old burn scars. Bandages covered her chest and legs. Luzrius instantly recognized her. It's the human Luzrius met in the forest one day. Ever since then he would spend some time with her whenever he leaves the dimension of his world. That human is named Brit.

He noticed that she seemed different than usual. Her hair is dressed down when its usually held together by a few bands. Not only that she's covered wounds all over her body and hair matted with blood mixed with dirt. Truly a sight to behold.

"Are you okay? I thought......"

The rest of Brit's words blurred out of Luzrius's mind as he can only briefly ponder her concern for him despite the damage afflicted on her. Then his attention turned to her missing eyepatch.

Luzrius always saw Brit with her eyepatch. It was apart of her. To see it gone now and replaced with a lock of hair that was held back is a surprise. And a little troublesome. Something about that eyepatch being missing is a bit unsettling to him. Brit seemed to noticed it and moved her hand to cover it.

"Oh this? Don't worry its......"

Luzrius continued to stare at Brit's face. Deep claw marks are imbedded in half of it.

Even though it's mostly covered by that lock of hair, he can tell quite clearly from the spaces in between and whenever Brit moved, Luzrius can get a few clear glances. But even so to Luzrius...

They seem to look.... familiar.

Even when she looks like ravaged game that is barely holding on, Brit has her attention to him. And although her eye are apologetic, Luzrius can see the pain she's trying to keep in.

"I'm sorry that... I know we were....."

'And it's not just her eye'

"Master!"

Luzrius and Brit turned to a sudden figure that sprinted towards them. Instantly Luzrius could tell it's a demon who's rank is lower than his. A horned demon with two colored eyes. It's not that uncommon for demons to have two eyes with different colors but it's still interesting to look. Not only that but this demon's warm colored hair glowed.

The demon stopped over to Brit. Horrified to see the state of his master.

"Master- What HAPPENED?!"

'Master?'

From the way the demon addressed Brit, Luzrius concluded that this might be a familiar.

The familiar glared at Luzrius and got in front of Brit protectively.

"You! You did this-"

The familiar's hair blazed ready to fight as Luzrius just stared at him.

But Luzrius doesn't see him as a threat. Before the familiar makes the first move, Brit quickly moved between them to protect Luzrius. Although showing her back to Luzrius exposes the wounds there,her hair blocked most of what's seen.

"No Callen stop-"

THUMP!!

The next thing he knew, Brit collapsed. Luzrius parted her long locks away to see the deep claw mark embedded there. They must be fresh because just moments before Luzrius knew Brit was unharmed.

'Before?'

Luzrius was so deep in thought that he hadn't notice that the familiar smacked his claws away from his master and gently held his master up. His rage swells looking at his unconscious master and turned to the source of his problems. He wanted answers.

"What happened here?!"

In his mind Luzrius asked the same exact question to himself. He knew for a fact that she wasn't in such a state just moments before. Has she been attacked? But when and by who?

He looked around Several trees are toppled over or have claw marks . There's hammers littered all over also covered in blood.

Looking down Luzrius noticed blood on him. Mostly on his claws and it's soaked in his feathers. Has he been involved in the fight as well?

"Luzrius..."

Luzrius turned to the weakened human before him. Brit has regained consciousness again. Although it's weak her voice reached him.

"Luzrius... it seems we have to part ways for now"

Luzrius recognize this phrase, it's the signal that he could leave.

"Master please save your strength!"

The familar begged but the human master continued.

"But... even so... let's meet again okay?"

'Ah'

Luzrius is very familiar with this phrase. Its their promise. Whenever it's their time to part, Brit would always give the promise to meet once more. He nodded signaling his agreement to that promise. This promised eased his human friend as she drifted back to sleep.

Luzrius, with nothing else to add decided to head back home first. If for no other reason, his hair and body needs a good washing. Luzrius takes great lengths to maintain his hair. Mostly after his hunting sessions the first thing he does is wash his hair.

However the thought of himself hurrying to wash being having the similar feeling to his hunts, even though he come to with that purpose, weighs heavy on him for some reason.

"Hey wait!"

Luzrius ignored the familiar and quickly took to the sky, opening a portal to his realm.

'I have no recollection on what happened.'

Something weighed on his chest even more as his mind drifted back to the claw marks on Brit's body.

'Yet why do I have this feeling?'
