THE GIRL FROM ANOTHER WORLD
( I S E K A I )
ORIGIN STORY:
Celestine's Age is 10
Felix's Age is 14
Painting was always Celestine's most enjoyable past time. Started to hold the brush at age of nine, It also made her happy to know that people would like her paintings enough to buy it.
It was just another peaceful day for the girl. She had just finished painting her current piece and was ready to work on the next one as inspiration hits her. Deciding that the roof top was already over used for her peaceful locations, she opt to go to the garden that time which she had yet to spend time at and find fresh ideas to.
She sets her stand and canvas as well as her chair to start unbeknownst to her that a boy was watching her paint in a fair distance behind her.
The boy was enamored. Charmed with what he saw, it was the garden but imagined in a more galaxy themed skies and flowers. He was at awe. Curious to see more of it, he approached the painting girl, decreasing the distance and eventually Celestine finally noticed the presence and turned to look at him.
Caught by surprise, the boy panicked and stuttered in embarrassment.
" I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to sneak up on you... I was just admiring your work...!!! i-it's really beautiful... "
this only made Celestine giggle.
"it's okay. Im happy you think so! " she beamed him a smile to which the boy felt his heart skip a beat. She was beautiful like her painting.
" i'm Celestine by the way! how about you? " she asks as she set her brush down perhaps for a break and to turn to the boy completely.
" M-My name is Felix... " he give the girl a sheepish shy smile.
" Oh! So you're Felix! mama told me they hired a new gardener boy named Felix! Nice to meet you! "
Felix POV
That was the first time we met. Celestine was the sweetest most kindhearted girl that I had met. I internally thanked my senior for recommending me to work at their manor.
Since that time, we became good friends and became almost inseparable, her parents didn't mind because i always helped her find new locations and places to get inspirations for her paintings.
Everyday was always an adventure and we always had such a great time. Until... she reached age fourteen.
She started getting sick really frequently. And I think it had something to do with her paintings.
Celestine's Age is 14
Felix's Age is 18
COUGH COUGH COUGH
Celestine let out fits of coughing and fell to her knees on the floor, Felix was quick to rush on her side. Maids had also rushed to Celestine, trying to tend to their young master.
" Celestine! Hey! what's wrong!? does it hurt somewhere? " asks the boy, worried evident in his voice
The boy was quick to carry Celestine and rush upstairs to her room, some of the maids rushed ahead to prepare her room and get some water.
Once Celestine was settled in bed, coughing stopped and replaced with a fever, he gave her parents a call to report what had happened
RING RING
" Hello, Ardes Museum how may we help you? "
" Hello, My name is Felix Bradley, I wish to speak with my masters, the EdelHarts to give report regarding their daughter. " luckily, the father of Celestine left the museum's number to where they will be that day.
" Very well. Please wait a moment. "
. . .
. . .
" Felix? It's Mr. Edelhart. What happened to Celestine? " the father asked
" she had sudden coughing fits, sir. and had a sudden fever. "
" oh? she's just probably exhausted. " his tone was uninterested.
How can this man act so dismissive of his own daughter?
" maybe.. but if it's alright sir, we also called the house doctor already if you didn't mind. "
" not at all. she'll be fine. she just needs rest! don't worry your little head so much. "
" Sir... this is Celestine we're talking about, are you not worried? "
" look, boy. Today is a good day. we just found out that Steve found a chest full of gold from their exploration and is about to head home, inviting us to a party to discuss his plans to investing to Edelhart business. I would like it if you don't ruin this day. "
Steve.. wasn't that the man who bought one of Celestine's paintings?
" . . . "
" Now if you'll excuse me- "
" sir, if you don't mind me asking when did you recieve this news? "
" oh? just thirty minutes ago. "
Same time when Celestine had her coughing fit... Suspicious.
" I see. Thank you sir. I'm sorry for disturbing you "
The other line didnt even let him finish and had the telephone down. Felix followed and set the telephone down as well.
Heaving a sigh, he turns to look at Celestine. His expression worried and sad.
If his hunch is right, The more she paints , the more her body will weaken.
Felix POV
I didn't wait that time and decided to investigate as she spends more and more time closed into her room. Whenever i go out of town, I would ask around if there was anything strange that may have happened to the people who bought Celestine's paintings. And it didn't take long until people started telling be about what they saw and heard.
Some stories were absurd and stretched out to sound interesting some was simple and straight to the point. But one thing they all had in common was..
They all started to get lucky. People who was just middle class became rich high class people in span of days, some others who had sick or dying family members got better like a miracle. It all sound good and all but it was eerie. Especially knowing Celestine was getting weaker and getting ever more clumsier. As well as her wrist constantly hurting making her works drop in quality.
In other words. She was getting unluckier while people who bought her works was becoming luckier.
It was not good. She needs to stop painting and i was motivated enough to stop her. Or at least not have her finish her pieces.
I tried distracting her and make her forget her paintings, by teaching her about flowers, teaching her to bake, dancing, learning music even to playing hide and seek, just to keep her attention away from art.
This was effective for a while but eventually she went back to painting. Not because she wants to but her parents scolded her to.
Celestine's Age is 15
Felix's Age is 19
" What are you doing, Celestine? " her mother asks her in a very disappointed tone.
" I.. I'm... " her timid self had taken over and was afraid to even speak up.
" you haven't painted for three months. The first month we understand, youre recovering but the next months that's just too much. " the father spoke up.
" but why? Is there a reason why I must paint? that's just my hobby. " Celestine says in a very hushed and ashamed tone.
" you already know by now, your paintings are a very important part of our business already. Many asks for your painting, Celestine. It helps this family. Unless you want to be a useless freeloader then by all means go ahead. " and that was enough to make her feel guilty.
" I... I understand. "
Just outside Celestine's room, a blond boy was silently listening.
" some parents... " he murmured to himself. anger boiling inside him.
Felix POV
To hear those things from them, saying it to their daughter.. It really annoyed me.
Maybe I had became to attached too Celestine... so much that i only want to see her smiling. Happy. and to see her so down for the past few days, it hurt me. Since I can't really stop her from painting anymore, being warned by the Edelgards that if i were to distract her again, they will fire me. I can't have that.
So i thought of another thing to help cheer her up, introduce her with books. Stories about fantastical worlds, and the first book I introduced to her was a personal favorite. The Devil May Cry novel.
Celestine's Age is 16
Felix's Age is 20
" This is? " golden galaxy like eyes stared at Felix
" It's a novel. Go ahead and keep working. I will read it to you. This is the first Novel. Devil May Cry volume 1 : Dante's awakening ( DMC 3 and dmc novel about gilver and tony ) "
and thus the boy read the novel to Celestine.
. . . .
. . . .
" That... is such a sad story... their misunderstanding... why... they're twins too!! they should be getting along so great! " Celestine sobs.
" y-you're crying!? it's not event that sad... " Felix panicked and searched for a handkerchief for her to wipe her tears.
" Yes it is! They sound so hurt! To have Vergil actually save his little brother and pretend that he did not care? that's so sad!! And Dante is left alone again! first his mother, now Vergil!? " she kept sobbing
" ah... " Felix didn't know how to react as he didn't expect her to have this kind of reaction. " w-well if anything, there's three more volumes Devil may cry volume two : Legendary devil hunter ( DMC 1, anime, DMC 2), Devil May Cry volume three : Nero (DMC 4 ) and Devil May Cry volume four : Legacy ( Visions of V and DMC 5 ). " he continues
Which opt a beaming reaction from the girl
" Really!? that's really great! I want to hear more! "
So, the boy did. Every week he would read her the next volume, adding more and more to her inspiration. According to the image in the book provided for what they might have look like, She made portraits of every Sparda boys.
" Felix, look! I've completed V now too! " she shows a canvas with V there. A lanky looking man filled with tattoos.
" woah..! It... really looks like him! " He looks at the canvas in awe
" Right? the latest novel you lent to me had their faces properly shown in the back. they're all really beautiful! " she smiles at him
" I can tell. " he chuckled
( C ) " so? who's your favorite? "
( F ) " Hm... that would be Vergil. "
( C ) " woah! really? I took you more like someone who would like Nero! " she giggled
( F ) " Well, Nero is good but Vergil just went through so so so much, plus, he's powerful! "
( c ) " Yeah, he also needs love and protection but refuses to say anything! he's so tragic...! "
( F ) " how about you? Who's your favorite? "
( C ) " hmm... I really really love them al equally but I guess Nero just have this certain special place in my heart! "
( F ) " Nero? Really!? Now its my turn to say, I took you more of a girl who would like Vergil! "
The two resumed to talk about the novel, having a wonderful time simply talking about it.
