NOVPUBcyra's hand moved, she opened her eyes slowly and stood up weakly from the ground, she saw the darkening sky and her face changed.
she walked quickly to the beast and climbed on it, patting it move. She brought out her compass and urged the beast to run faster.
suddenly she heard a flapping wings sound, she looked up and saw Greed flying towards her. She came to a stop and watched Greed fly down and saw a worried Zane get off and hurried towards her.
Zane looked at her from top to bottom and sighed in relief when he found no wounds then his face darkened in anger. when she saw his face change, Cyra climbed down from the beast and drew Zane close to her.
''sorry love, but I have to train on my own or I would feel relaxed without a sense of death every time you are with me.'' she paused and looked deep into his eyes.
''power is what I seek. I can not depend on you whenever I am in trouble. it would defeat the whole purpose of my goal. so from now on I will train without you.''
Zane looked at her determined gaze and knew nothing would change her mind. his emotion was divided into two halves, one was to let her go while the other was to follow her every time, he tightened his fist struggling to choose.
But he knew he had to let her go, to get stronger, so he came up with an idea on the spur of the moment.
''you can go.... but you have to take some of my blood with you.'' seeing her shake her head about to refuse, he closed her mouth. ''if you don't agree to it I will follow you and you can't stop me.''
cyra tried to give him a sound reason for her refusal but he held her lips together, his eyes firm and on his face was written you better agree. Cyra knew she could free herself but she let him hold, making sure not to wound him with her strength. She sighed internally in defeat.
Seeing her relax and compromise with his request, he freed her lips. ''let go back home.'' cyra smiled when she heard the word home. they climbed on Greed's back and flew back to the settlement with the catamel following their tails.
....
-Ten years later-
a woman turned in her sleep feeling restless, her eyes shot open, and she sat up looking at her side she saw Zane's sleeping form and she relaxed. her hands went through her short hair as she looked at the light coming from the tent slit. It's morning time for her training.
she kissed Zane on the lips and stood up without a single clothe covering her sculptured body. she had shed all her body softness: her breast firm without any flabbiness to them, her butt firm, and abs covering her stomach, her flesh hardened and firm with a healthy tan. but she seems not to have increased in height. She put on black clothes and went to pick up a clay bottle,
''crack..''
it fell from her hand, making her frown she turned back hoping she didn't wake Zane, seeing him sleeping she relaxed but for some reason this morning she felt restless like something bad was going to happen. she took another sap and drank it down. She has to be careful today in the forest, looking back at Zane, she opened the tent and walked out. not knowing something terrible was going to happen today.
Deep within a secret bunker Margret watched the black plant blooming into a flower, it glowed sinisterly in the room and had the red edges looked like dripping blood.
''hahaha....finally... it's time.'' she plucked the flower gently and placed it into a liquid and it formed a red crystal. with these crystals, she can unlock the ancient ruins and obtain absolute power. but first, she needs Zane's soul heart. she smiled creepy and she pressed a red tracker.
A mile away a tent was made in the forest, dirty blue-eyed women walked around going about their business, on the fire roasted something that looked human, some sharpened their knives and some jest around chewing down on meat. inside a tent, a beeping light showed in the compass beside the burly woman's hands. she stood up quickly this was the signal she had been waiting for these past ten years.
