Kahla POV
If there is something I love then that thing is Abiath, but if there is something I love after him then that thing are animals. They were created thanks to Abiath nature's element and evolved thanks my chaos element, they are something akin to our children. Be it a massive elephant or tiny cat, I love them all.
The world I choose for us to discover was a world called Athani, the world is pseudo governed by some so called Gods. They certainly and surely weren't gods like me and Abiath, they were simply mortals that attained a greater degree of power and a partial immortality or were created, born by another greater force. In my eyes they were simple mortals but Abiath always says about how all life should be equal and how I should try to treat them like how I do with the beasts and animals. But I simply can't.
As we appear I found myself in front of one of my favorite animals. A cat.
I simply loved cats and cute animals in general, the urgency to pet them hit me like a thunder as I moved my hand and smiled gently to the overgrown cat. My smile served to soothe him. He lowered his head as I petted him.
Then it hit me. We weren't alone. I just did something extremely embarrassing in front of Abiath and a stranger. I should be "The dark Goddess, creator of Death and master of chaos." but then here I was, petting a cheetah and smiling. I'm sure my image shattered in front of the stranger even before actually speaking. Normally I showed my true self only in front of Abiath but now even someone else saw it. I had to eliminate that wrong image from her memory!
I looked at the girl only to see her blush while looking at Abiath. Abiath smiled at her while holding her hand.
"You, why are you touching Abiath? "
My jealousy flared, she shouldn't have touched what was mine. Coldness flashed in my eyes, those puny mortals shouldn't think of getting what they don't deserve! I probably should let them here and don't give them a possibility.
She flinched and fear was in her eyes.
Even I didn't get to hold his hand that much before it gets awkward or I get too happy and escape from reality.
That bitch.
"Abiath, I changed my mind. Let's return. "
My voice was cold, my gaze froze the living. Abiath looked to me and chuckled, ah, I think he knew what I was thinking. He let her hand and walked toward me.
He put his hand on my head and patted it.
I'm elated.
Abiath POV
The Girl looked at me and fidgeted, I smile gently at her, she reminded me of a little animal with her short brown hair and big Brown eyes. She was just a child in front of a giant cheetah, I think she was scared.
I sensed a cold aura behind me, I looked back and saw an angry Kahla.
She is pouting.
Is this what I think is?
Is she perhaps jealous?
How cute, I think she is jealous.
I think Kahla just awakened a sadist nature in me, I will tease her later but for now let me soothe her before she blows half of this world along his inhabitants. Her pouting face was really cute but I think also her elated is cute.

I walked toward her and patted her on her head.
She melted.
I turned to the girl and said to her.
"We are warriors of the Alam tribe. We came to seek relationships with other tribes, to ensure survival alliance is a must. Could you please tell us where your tribe is? We will accompany you. "
The that mortals were driven to a fight to the survival in this world so they were pretty open to warriors even if they from other tribes or cities, the stronger the warrior the stronger their trust and respect. So when I said we were warriors from another tribe it was already calculated in my mind how much strong we needed to be to gain their trust. To wander in the wilderness you had to be strong.
She looked at us with sparkling eyes.
"T-thank you... Follow me."
Marigold POV
The man smiled at and my heart melted but then I woke up from my daze as I sensed a murderous gaze from behind him.
I trembled.
That woman was so scary that I forgot to breath but as the man patted her head she returned to be the beautiful woman that I saw before.
Looking at them together was a beautiful picture it gave the feeling of holiness. I was thinking that a love like that, because it certainly was love, was something that everyone would want.
"We are warriors of the Alam tribe. We came to seek relationships with other tribes, to ensure survival alliance is a must. Could you please tell us where your tribe is? We will accompany you. "
Alam tribe? I didn't knew of a tribe called like that... They were probably far away from their tribe. Just how much did they wander in the wilderness? I knew that the strongest warriors in my tribe never wandered too much in the wilderness so they must at least be stronger than our elites.
A beautiful and strong couple, how dreamy!
Ah I have to thank them for accompanying me.
" T-thank you... Follow me."
I bit my tongue. How embarrassing.
I started walking ahead to hide my embarrassed face. After I regained my composure I decided to start a conversation.
"My name is Marigold from the Sunstone village. Can I know your names? i-if I can... "
I stuttered again... How embarrassing.
The handsome man looks at me and chuckles. Oh, even his chuckle was Divine.
"I am Abiath and this is my lady Kahla. We are warriors from the Alam tribe."
The woman, Kahlablushed when he said My lady.
We spoke as we walked toward my village, I told them about what happened to me and they sympathized with me although Kahla continued saying ominous things like "Maybe it's better if we destroy the Ran'shas?" with a scary expression while Abiath patted her head and convinced her otherwise.
At that time I didn't know that humanity just escaped an Armageddon. The only memory of that time was the cold sweat that covered my back.
