Marigold POV

My name is Marigold, I was born in the northern Sunstone village. Child of a warrior and mage I grew training and battling. Although not the best of the talents, My talent was still important for the future of the village so I had my good share of Beasts core and techniques. The stronger I was, the stronger was the village, this notion was drilled in my head since I was little from my hardworking parents. At the age of 12 I became rank three Mage making my parents proud. A year later I meet my fiance, the future village head, Roy. He was handsome and gentle, every time I looked at him I would question myself if it was real or it wasn't a dream. He smiled at me and my heart fluttered. He said that I was his and he was mine. I thought that my life was perfect but sometimes he would try to do things of sexual character and I would always say that it's better to think about it after the marriage ceremony, he would smile and say it was okay. Today he asked me to come with him to the forest out from the safe land of the village. I believed him and went with him but reality was more cruel that I thought.

GAAARGH

BOOOM BOOOM

BOOOM BOOOM

The heaven shook and the earth split as the night black colossus made its way toward us.

In my fear I looked toward Roy, he looked at me with a cold glint in his eyes. 

His hands were on me, he pushed. 

I fell twisting my leg. 

He ran away as I tried to stand up. 

"Roy! Roy! Please help me! Help! "

I called him but the sound of my voice was drowned from the sound of the monster steps. 

Roy looked back at me and smiled, it wasn't his usual smile, it was a ridiculing smile as he escaped from the danger. 

"You know, I never loved you." 

His voice was low but it still reached me. 

Roy disappeared from my view as I looked back at the colossus. 

 My heart was beating faster and faster as I saw his indifferent red eyes lock with mine. They were cold and merciless, they reminded me of those of Roy from before. But why did he look at me like that before dumping me here, in this land forsaken by God and men? Why did he betray me? Didn't he promise to stay by my side forever? Didn't he say that I was his and he was mine? Why was he so heartless? Did I do something bad? Was I a bad girl? Please God, let it be a joke, let him come from behind the bushes saving me from this monster.

But as I was still hoping, the monster was before me. Its bloody red mouth opened as he roared in front of me, the pressure from his breath sent me flying twenty feets away. Its body was thirty meter long and fifteen meter high, it was large and ripping with muscles. Its claws were curved and a meter long, five per paw. It had thirty sword-like fangs. 

I knew it, it was a rank seven Black Death Cheetah. 

Its power was a little more than a Third Layer Moon Warrior or a rank seven Mage. 

Although I was called talented, I'm still far from the elite of Sunstone Village. My efforts in training gained me the place of a rank four Mage at the age of seventeen. 

The monster looked at my eyes and suddenly opened its mouth again, this time trying to swallow me. 

I closed my eyes. My heart boiled from the emotions, but not with fear instead it was boiling with anger and hate. 

When despair hit me and death was only a meter from me, I let myself fall to hate. Hate toward Roy, hate toward myself and more importantly, hate toward the world. 

The time passed slowly as I waited my death but that death didn't come. 

As I slowly and painfully opened my eyes what I found was a strange sight. 

A beautiful... No, a handsome man was in front of me. It was more than handsome, if I had to describe it, it would be.... Godly, yeah right, godly. His blonde hair scattered to the foul wind, his gentle green eyes locked with mine as I forgot to breath, he smiled at me and my face flushed red. He offered his big manly hand to me, I took it and couldn't registry anything more. 

As realization hit me, I looked toward the monster and I saw the most beautiful scene of my life. 

A goddess with raven hairs and phoenix eyes gently illuminated by the light of the moon. Her face was the epitome of beauty and her body was the epitome of sexiness. She gently smiled as she patted the head of the cheetah. It was surreal and beautiful at the same time. 

My breath previously stopped because I didn't want to interrupt the scene returned as I muttered weakly. 

"Who are you? "
