The first few moments felt like a dream to Annie. Her mind still trying to process the information that stood directly ahead of her. The man was so tall and broad that she was merely an ant to the man. She potentially could get crushed by his toe with one wrong step.
Looking up at Nathan, The first thing that came to mind started at his head. Those long lovely strands of dark ebony hair that fell down his back. Long, silky and wild as it seemed to stick to his toned face.
Unlike previous, this man was no longer malnourished or in need of any essentials. His face was full of life with a chiselled jaw, perfect unmarked skin with a youthful expression. On his face, no one feature made him handsome, though his eyes came dangerously close.
Deep and perfect that seemed to pull anyone's attention as the sky fell within each eye becoming trapped as the beauty and perfection seemed to capture not only the woman's gaze. The stubble was lining his lower jaw just making the rugged look even more tasteful.
Moving down the body, she noticed the muscles strapped to the man as his sculpted body became a beacon of perfection as the chiselled abs, chest, and arms looked strong enough to crush someone or wrap around her.
Feeling her cheeks growing warm as she looked to the man's stomach as the perfection continued. Biting her bottom lip as she looked further to see any more of the man's achievement.
"Tsk..."
Cursing her poor luck as the lower half of the man was submerged in the water with the lilypads perfectly surround him like a coat. Her eyes were scanning back over as she let out another soft sigh like a girl in love.
"Are you ok Annie?"
Each word cold like ice as she felt the water flowing across her skin as the words caressed her ears. Even Nathan's voice was smooth and delicious.
"Y... Yes! Please, can we talk?"
Her words were reaching up to the man as she watched him starting to bend down to speak to her at such a range. The action was making her blush again as she shook her hands.
"Shrink down and speak to me. Wear clothes as well!"
Within moments, Nathan had shrunk down to his regular size as he approached the woman wearing a basic white shirt and baggy modern pants. The clothes were entirely foreign to the woman in a fantasy setting.
Sitting done in the only building as he sat across from Annie. His eyes were looking to Annie's as he noticed her looking at anything other than himself.
"Is something wrong?"
The question striking Annie as she turned back to him with the blush still on her face as she pointed to him. Her anger evident again as she blushed harder before turning away.
"You are different. What are you trying to do with the pretty boy tricks?"
Those words caught Nathan off guard as he looked down at himself for a moment before letting out a small laugh. His head was shaking as he leaned back in his chair. The outfit he wore hugging his body almost perfectly as he began to milk it now.
"This is the soul realm. My body is the one you saw before while in this realm only the soul is required. This is what it looks like in its natural form."
His words smooth again as he looked to the woman with a grin that showed the teasing nature of his language.
"Shut up!"
She yelled as she was growing frustrated by the whole thing. Shaking her head as she stared at him with no other emotion then pride as she nodded.
"We are to make a contract. Why pull us to a soul realm when we need to bond via blood."
Annie had become serious as she knew that the blood ritual required well blood! Doing this made it clear that the man did not want her blood for the ceremony. So what was he doing?
"Hello, Annie. You cut me, and no blood came out. I can't do a regular blood ritual. My blood is pure celestial energy!"
His words piercing her own as she felt shame as she remembered stabbing him several times. Her anger still at the surface but now her motives remained clouded. She had no chance of killing him, and if he had changed, then she would help him as well as helping those children.
"How do you suggest we do a ritual. I still want one to know if you have genuinely changed or if you are an emotionless killing psychopath."
Just nodding, Nathan standing as he moved to the bowl in the middle. His body froze as he heard the emotionless part. He had some issues with his emotions in the past few weeks which had led to some misunderstanding with him.
He had no time to think as he placed his hand over the bowl.
"It's simple. If you join my hand, then we will become united in a soul union. Since my Soul is stronger, then I will become the Soul Leader while you will be the Soul follower which will allow us to join together in mind, soul and body."
His words were catching her as he waited for her in all seriousness. His hand was waiting as he felt her warm hand connect with his own before he started the ritual. Dipping both sides into the water below of the world.
Holding his hand, Annie felt her breath growing rapid as she felt her power growing stronger as the divine energy passed through her body at a fast pace. Almost close to overpowering her as she felt like screaming at her blood boiled.
In the next moment, her vision completely faded as she screamed silently into the darkness.
"Goodnight Annie. Sweet dreams and again I'm sorry. When you wake up let's restart our relationship."
