[h3]Mary | Ruins[/h3]

[color=0054a6]"I told you to wait,"[/color]

Mary's head whipped around as the familiar voice came to her ears. Finally Nero had joined her. He was an odd looking man- if he could even be called that. They were of similar age, and Mary was pretty young herself. His pure white attire, large glove included, betrayed his nature. It all seemed to conflict. His natural dislike of speaking, but his odd love of Kyrie and humanity. She wanted to study him, the arm hidden inside his glove. See what really made him tick, get to know him. Scientifically of course.

Tuning back in, Mary heard him mention how he was worried about their human soldiers. He was right, it would have been better if she went alone. It didn't seem there were much Mary couldn't handle in these pathways. Even if it wasn't exactly the normal menu. But that couldn't be changed, and there were more important things to do currently.

It appeared Mary had found it, the ruins that held the Second Seal. But these weren't normal ruins it seemed. They appeared to be caved in, possibly due to the massive power of the seal, or an intentional demolition to make destroying the seal harder. Either way, it didn't seem to deter Nero. He walked past her and into the ruins, Mary following cautiously behind. They were both met with the sight of a woman, attractive, but obviously a demon. She was surrounded by Fausts who didn't seem to attack her, along with... a demon she had never seen before. It appeared ghost like, but unlike the Fausts they seemed incorporeal. Completely. She'd have to investigate these ghosts later.

Nero commanded his soldiers to secure the entrance and be ready for retreat should the need arise. Mary added to their mission slightly. She told them to investigate the odd statue that they had seen. It almost seemed to be breathing, some sort of living defender of the ruins, maybe? She would find out later. For now, she began circling around like her boss. But instead of going around the back, Mary focused on finding an area with as many floating rocks near it as possible. Mary could not fly, so she would need to find an area with much solid ground if she wanted to fight successfully. And besides, Nero would rush in first, so it would be useless to find an area to sneak attack from.
