The Goddess' Champion

Their lips separated after a slow and passionate bonding kiss.

Having already claimed her champion, the blushing and glittery goddess lay against his chest, humming in happiness.

"Why are you so open with me, Aurelianne?" He inquired while holding the beauty in his arms.

Truthfully he didn't understand, having had his fair share of fun with countless women, Aurelianne's attitude was a fist-timer, even his five wives -which were supposedly goddesses- were conquered after struggles and slices of life.

Yet Aurelianne is already so open and passionate that it leaves him almost breathless, coupled with her apparent 'innocence' are like two sharp spears constantly poking his heart.

Moreover, if that's not enough… her body…

"I told you I have wanted you for a long time… my champion~" She insisted, flushing her body tighter against him, feeling that warmth and security only a champion could provide.

For him, it was complicated, as sexy and delectable as she is he has only met her today... he can't just pin her down and have his way with her as much as that lower traitorous part of his has been raging ever since he placed his eyes on her.

"I know that you have your barriers, the result of crawling all the way from the bottom by yourself, but rest assured, I am real, Constantine... I'm real and I'm here for you..." She delivered a swift and clumsy peck, smiling brightly.

"…" Once again he was left speechless.

"I know everything about you…" She began confidently, saying that 'everything' with a weird glint.

"…" He regarded her solemnly as a result.

"I know about Isabella, your past… your five wives, your only lover... all of your children and your secret children, your empire... your misdeeds, the fact that you controlled your own enemies, the fact that you strive to stay alive just so you wouldn't leave your beloveds alone... I have seen it all, and... it has been all that together what rendered me to desire you, you're everything I seek in a champion."

"Thank you... but I-" That topic about 'Isabella' is one he doesn't desire to touch, she placed a finger on his lips.

"Don't worry, I won't raise it up...You have no idea how much it cost me to get you, were it not for Lady Nova, they wouldn't have accepted."

"Where are they?" He referred to them, the way she spoke made him believe they were okay and kicking, if that's the case, why aren't they here?

"They're okay, I can only tell you that… they're unable to come and visit you as they're fundamentally in other worlds, moreover... their souls haven't yet fully merged with their divine bodies, once they manage to do so they will visit you themselves, perhaps sending an avatar... Lady Lucille will be the first, probably." Aurelianne mumbled.

His heart brimmed with hope and she noticed the happiness in his countenance, 'He really loves them dearly.'

Lucille had been the first to pass away... she was even older than him by at least ten years, sadness had permeated her heart at that moment, desiring to stay even a little longer; yet he said his farewells to her in the sweetest way possible.

'Lucille, when will I see you again?' He wondered with expectation, back then she regretted being the first to depart, now she is going to be the one to meet him again first, which means... Sandra would be the last.

A Muffin floated from the table into Aurelianne's hand, noticing his rather downcast expression, she set forth to try and appease it.

"Here~" she gives him a muffin to eat, he opened his mouth with a reassuring smile as a response and took a bite, it was delicious.

"How long can I stay here?"

"I can keep you for a week or two, during that time I am going to teach you the beginnings of magic and also, tell you some more about the world you're to be in just so you can be prepared, alright?~"

"Understood." The topic of magic interested him immensely

"I want to prepare more exquisite dishes for you and cakes, but if I do so, I'm afraid we won't ever stop." The goddess released her first sigh, grieving at the circumstances.

"I know of something that would be more exquisite." He rubbed her lips with his thumb, letting loose a little.

She blushed bullets and stood up.

"W-Would you like to go outside and walk some more? I can tell you some things along the way!"

"Why is your face red, is it hot in here?~" He smirked and threw back that jab.

!!!

It produced a greater blush in her cheeks as a response, stutter and eventually… a pout.

"Just go and wait for me!" She turned around embarrassed and also a little exasperated, so far she believed her body could carry her confidence around all the way, but as Constantine became adapted to her beauty, he got bolder.

And the rather naive goddess would soon lose the upper hand, sooner than she expected.

She raised up and went to wash the dishes while he departed the small shack, leaving her alone.

The Goddess held her chest tightly, palpitating madly.

"This is how it feels to love? it's beautiful and exhilarating~" The silver-haired elf goddess hummed her singing and cleaned the dishes by hand rather than using magic to do everything quickly.

It brought melancholic feelings as well as happiness to her soul to do so.

As she finalised her stuff, he waited outside with his arms crossed, regarding the blue cloudy skies.

'Champion of a Goddess… the twists of fate.' Releasing a small sigh, his mind once again wandered around Aurelianne's figure.

He didn't have to hold her in his thoughts for long, said goddess crossed the door shortly afterwards.

"Should we be on our way then?~ there are so many places I want to show you where we can train!" Literally running, she hooked on his arm and giggled.

"Then I'll be in your care, I'd like to know more about you, Aurelianne." He confessed and held her arm tightly, so far they had been quite intimate and even entered an odd relationship that he doesn't understand quite right, aside from her name he doesn't have much information.

She nodded but then tilted her head in shame as if thinking deeply about what to say.

"Ohh… I-I can't really tell you much, most of my life has been spent here, every so often I meet other gods, especially with Lady Nova… but I enjoy this little world the most!" Her lips quivered in awkwardness, believing that to someone like him who has lived so many exploits and such an interesting life, her compiled thousands of years of age could be nothing but boring.

"And what do you do here by yourself?"

"I mostly remain inside that tree, doing my work~ then I drink water and wash in the river, sometimes..." She scratched her head, she really wanted to say that she went to some kind of adventurous exploit, but couldn't!

"..."

Rather than mock her, he smiled in amusement. She is a goddess with several shenanigans; the pair went onwards in their little adventure, stepping through the woods she had a clear destination.

"So you're a goddess from this world called Sandoria?"

"One of them, Sandoria is a world of magic and opportunities, those that are able to reach Godhood exists in the dozens across millions of years of history and generations, but… a catastrophe occurred and now I might be the only one remaining."

Her expression turned downcast upon this revelation and he switched into one of solemnity, indicating her to speak further.

"Tell me more, why wouldn't they have faith in you?" He recalled her saying that she was a weak goddess without faith.

"Because… I can't provide what they desire."

"…?"

"I'm a Goddess of life, but the world of Sandoria has been tainted by the greed of demons, I can give happiness, but I can't give fulfilment… the heart of humans and the other races have darkened with greed for power, Love has been rendered to the background or completely erased, that's why they don't believe me, they have no faith in me and hence, I and my tree can't bless them." Her gaze extended to the tree in the distance.

"What is that tree?" It was too big to ignore.

"It's my partner, a part of my divinity as the Goddess of Life, her name is Vita… her roots spread through Sandoria, bringing life to those who returned to the soil, but a curse besieged it… one coming from thousands of years ago, the event known as the fall of the Tyrant, the death of the God of Fate, Lucius the Great."

They reached a small clearing, beautiful with a flowing river, waters so clear it was as if there was no water at all, were it not for the small translucent tonality against the sunshine and the fish inside, he'd believe so.

She pulled him to the edge and they sat she wiggled her legs back and forth and encouraged him to do so as well with a smile.

He felt the water to be incredibly fresh and lukewarm, perfect.

"What can you tell me about this Lucius? was he especial?"

"He was one of the Gods that lived in this realm for dozens of thousands of years, stories of his origin vary, but his Godhood spread through the world of Sandoria, giving its fate a course… he quickly joined himself with other two local goddesses from this world, the Goddess of the Oceans, Nerea and the Goddess of the Moon, Helena… his rein was one where humans thrived… but… eventually others wouldn't agree."

Constantine sighed, he didn't need many more words to understand or at least give himself an idea of what was it that occurred.

"Human's greed…" He deduced and she nodded with a sigh.

"But it wasn't only humans... however, humans had to bear the brunt of everyone's greed back then."
