KnightessCiela

Ciela trudged toward the teleport gate, her boots crunching softly against the forest floor. The weight of the day's battle clung to her, each step feeling heavier than the last. After a few moments she reappeared on Floor 22. The serene beauty of the lakeside village greeted her, a stark contrast to the fiery chaos she'd just left behind. She exhaled a long, weary sigh, rolling her shoulders in an attempt to shake off the fatigue. Her feet carried her toward Fondante's Inferno, her bakery nestled along the lakeside path. The warm, inviting scent of pastries wafted out as she pushed open

Ciela blinked, genuinely surprised that Dean was listening so intently to her rambling. "Oh, wow, uh. I didn't realize you were actually paying attention." A soft laugh escaped her lips. "Siren and I go way back, like real-life back. She's my best friend. We basically grew up together, though she's... uh..." Ciela paused, tapping her chin in thought. "Three years older than me? I think. I'll have to ask her next time we're hanging out at home." She chuckled, realizing how long it had been since she'd thought about their age difference. "Siren is the reason why I'm here actually." Ciela smiled

The warm encouragement from everyone lit up Ciela's face with a bright smile. "Thanks, y'all. I really appreciate it. I’m gonna keep your words in mind the next time I feel less than adequate." She brushed a strand of hair away from her face and refocused as the hulking troll Ugzeke fell to the combined efforts of Wulfrin, Freyd, and Mina. With the troll defeated, Ciela grinned mischievously at the mention of their next foe. "So, Cerberus, huh? Guess it’s time to become puppy chow," she snickered, her excitement bubbling up at the thought of facing the legendary three-headed beast. I wond

Ciela surged forward, her blade slicing through the air with a sharp whistle as it cleaved into the nearest vine. The plant recoiled violently, releasing a guttural hiss as its severed tendril spewed sap like venom. Unfazed, she spun on her heel, her movements a seamless blend of precision and ferocity. Another vine lashed out, but Ciela was quicker, her sword arcing in a blur to slice through it before it could tighten around her ankle. The heat from her enchanted armor radiated in waves, scorching the nearby vines that dared approach. One by one, the plants fell, their twisted remains s

She twisted her body midair and swung at another vine, using her momentum to cut through it. With a sharp snap, the vine let go and she landed on the ground in a crouch, her sword hand steady despite the slight tremor of adrenaline coursing through her. The remaining vines recoiled momentarily, as if re-evaluating their next move, especially after her strike killed the Man-Eating plant that hung her from her ankles. Ciela smirked, rising to her feet. "What's the matter? Not so tough now, huh?" She taunted the plants, brushing off the dirt and ashes from her armor. She adjusted her s

Ciela adjusted her position, sliding down the trunk of the tree until she was comfortably seated on the soft grass. She leaned back against the bark, pulling a well-worn book from her inventory. The golden title embossed on the cover glinted briefly in the sunlight before she opened it to her marked page. A gentle breeze played with her hair, causing it to flutter lazily in the wind. Every so often, Ciela would glance up from her book to check on Kiyabu and Dean, her eyes scanning the field for any signs of danger. The two seemed engrossed in their gathering attempts. As they worked, Ci

Ciela smiled warmly at Kiyabu, a subtle blush creeping over her cheeks. "Like I said, I don't get many customers. I think I've had a total of... uh..." She paused, tapping her chin as she tried to recall. "Three? Four, maybe? Honestly I haven't kept track." Her laughter light and self-deprecating. "But that's okay! I'm really more about the joy of baking than keeping count." Her eyes lit up as she added, "The both of you should definitely visit sometime! Both shops have a breathtaking view of the lake. The sunrise over the water is magical. And, if you're lucky, you might hear Wulfrin pounding

Ciela found herself on the first floor once again, the familiar sights and sounds of the bustling Town of Beginnings surrounding her. The cobblestone streets were alive with chatter, laughter, and the occasional clang of a blacksmith's hammer. She often returned to this place, drawn by its sense of nostalgia and purpose. This floor had become her sanctuary, a place where she could make a difference. Whether it was offering guidance to wide-eyed newbies nervously clutching starter swords or delivering care packages to the orphanage, her time here felt meaningful. It gave her a sense of ful

The morning light filtered through the shop's wide windows, illuminating the cozy interior of Fondante's Inferno. Another day at the shop, she didn't know it yet but today came with a special request. Ciela sang quietly to herself as she worked, her apron already dusted with flour and sugar. A notification popped up. A message? She waved her finger over it. Astra? Oh! The corner of Ciela's lips curled into a smile. A surprise picnic? For Bliss? How sweet. Ciela quickly sent a message back, "On it, come by around noon." Ciela's mind buzzed with ideas, her hands itching to get started. She waste

Ciela spun through the bakery with the energy of a whirlwind, singing a cheerful tune as she refilled the teas, coffees, and free samples. She twirled between the tables, her movements as fluid as the melody she sang. The cozy atmosphere of the bakery was alive with the scent of fresh pastries and brewing coffees. Just as she was about to restock the display case, the soft "ding" of the front door caught her attention. She spun toward the counter with a radiant smile. "Hi sweetie! What can I- Oh, wait! I know you!" Her brown eyes sparkled, lighting up with recognition. "Siren and Wulfrin

Ciela stood amidst the chaos, her ears tuned to the words of encouragement from Wulfrin, Freyd, and Mina. Her focus sharpened as Wulfrin suggested to shatter the boss. She nodded firmly, her lips curling into a determined smile. Perfect. Something I can actually do. She tightened her grip on her shield and her blade. Drawing in a deep breath, she sprang forward with practiced precision and grace. Her movements were fluid yet forceful, each step closing the gap between her and the hulking troll. At the last moment she slid through the troll's legs now standing behind Ugzeke. With a powerfu

Ciela laid out an array of pastel pink tins across a long table, each tin filled with treats for the kids. She had prepared a mix of savory and sweet foods. Sandwiches with homemade potato chips, mini cucumber and carrot trays, along with cakes, cupcakes, brownies, cookies, and buttery croissants. Seeing the table brimming with food, Ciela’s heart swelled. She had always loved children; even as a kid herself, she’d helped look after her younger cousins, cherishing those moments. "Oh, thank you!" she replied to Acanthus’s compliment, a gentle smile lighting her face. "You might know my hus

"Oh, she’s definitely not always a troublemaker," Ciela said with a laugh, watching Perlita prance around Kiyabu’s feet. "But, I'll be honest—nine times out of ten, she totally is." Her smile only widened as she saw Kiyabu hold up the cookie she’d gifted him and complimented her without even trying it. "I’ve had a lot of orders from frontliners lately," she said, with a hint of pride. "Though my biggest order right now is for my husband. He’s got me on the longest baking project I think I’ve ever done, it feels like I’ve been at it forever!" Kiyabu chuckled, and as he began to explai

The portal swirled and shimmered in front of them, before they all stepped in and were transported. Ciela was immediately in awe. She thought the witch's castle was impressive, but this was even more impressive. Ciela's attention immediately snapped to Freyd, her admiration cut short by him dispatching a group of enemies guarding the door. Freyd as per usual ended the enemies with no issue, earning a snort and chuckle from her as he stated, "Looks like they left the door unguarded." Wulfrin followed up with his usual precision, then turned to her with a bow, gesturing for her to take the

Her warm, genuine smile lingered as she replied, "It’s really nice to meet you, Kiyabu." She glanced down as her little otter, Perlita, began darting in excited circles around them, her enthusiasm infectious. Ciela chuckled and gestured toward the otter. "And this little troublemaker here is Perlita." She followed Perlita’s antics for a moment before looking back up at Kiyabu. As their eyes met, she blinked, realizing just how much taller he was. I must look like a kid standing next to him, she thought with an amused smile. "I really hope you like the treats. I was actually on my way to d
