story time: “Why is she looking at me with those eyes?” Cardinal whispered to Artemis. “I don’t know…but I’d like to find out just what’s on that girls mind.” Artemis said looking into the deep blue eyes of Krystal as she stared at them. “I am a man of propriety I cannot partake of such things it is offensive for her to think such.” Cardinal said. Artemis kept watching her and saw her smile at him fluttering her eyelashes at him. “I think she’s looking at me.” Artemis said. “Don’t be foolish it’s me it’s always me woman can’t resist the sight of a man who has it all figured out. Why me though? I’m a man of propriety.” Cardinal said angrily. Artemis chuckled catching her eye. She smiled at him and winked beckoning him over with a wag from her finger. “Cardinal I believe there’s a lonely lady over there that is just dying for my company. I’ll see on Sunday.” Artemis said putting money down for their drinks and walking to her. He kept his eyes on her looking closely at something he saw in them. She was radiant to his gaze and her eyes had enchanted him to her beauty. He tried to turn away to stay to his convictions but could not. “Am I to sin without stop?” He thought. “Did he send this radiant angel down for me to see so I may know of the true beauty of his work.” Cardinal thought. As he watched he became more and more transfixed. “She is an angel from heaven sent to me for my good works.” He said to himself. He saw Artemis sit next to her lean in and kiss her softly. He felt a pang of jealousy as he saw it and stood up. “That cur, to steal her from me…but I am a man of propriety how can I desire a woman who bears the eyes of a temptress.” He thought. “Those smoldering eyes surrounded by the calm blue waters of her iris. They see into my soul for who and what I truly am.” He thought. “They see me and they pull me in as if to beckon me to spend eternity in her beautiful arms.” He thought. “I must make her mine. I must possess that fire that burns so passionately inside of her and if I cannot I will set the stars ablaze in my anger.” He said to himself still watching them. “So let me ask you something. Were you just staring at Cardinal or were you staring at me just now?” Artemis asked her. She smiled at him. “Who do you think I was staring at? Maybe I wasn’t staring at either of you and you just walked up and kissed me for no reason or I was staring at him and you took his shot.” She said. “I don’t know he thought it was him you were staring at.” Artemis said. She looked away blushing. “Oh no I wasn’t looking at him.” She said. “What where did all that confidence go?” Artemis asked chuckling. “I think it ran out Lady Ana said I should try to be more smug but I just couldn’t I can’t not be nervous especially around you.” She said. “I’m your boyfriend you shouldn’t even get nervous around me.” He said. “Oh but I do I’ve been alive for over 4 eons and never had a boyfriend or even went on a date until I met you so I don’t know how it goes or I didn’t until you and Lady Ana came.” She said. “I always forget how old you are you seem like you could be maybe 20 or 22.” He said. She smiled blushing. “That’s because I’m a goddess and I don’t age but you know that…that was so stupid for me to say that.” She said. “No not many people know that I just thought you aged really really well.” He said. “Besides you’re the only woman I’ve met who doesn’t get mad when I talk about her age.” He said. “Oh after you pass 987 years old you stop caring about that. I don’t even remember my own age anymore I think I would say I’m about 2-4 eons. So I’m much significantly older than you which is another reason I’m nervous around you since people have called me a super cougar. I don’t get what that means though.” She said. “It means you’re an older woman who likes a younger man.” He said. “But if that’s the case how can I hope to find someone who is my age.” She said. He shrugged. “Whether I’m older or not doesn’t really matter because I love you a lot.” She said smiling. “I love you to.” he said. “Though I know the Pirate Kings blood also makes you immortal so that’s kind of nice knowing I’ll have an eternal companion.” She said. “Of course if you wanted to date someone who wasn’t around for the creation of existence I’d understand.” She said smiling a little. “No I think I’m alright with my…how do I say it?” he said. “Oh you can say ancient or archaic.” She said trying to help. He gave her a bland look. “I’ll use eternal. I’m alright with my eternal girlfriend.” He said kissing her. “So how did you keep entertained for 4 eons?” he asked. “I really stayed on my mountain top for all of it if you don’t count the Pirate Kings visits. I don’t think it would surprise you that a spirit or goddess as the people called me can sleep for a while.” She said smiling. “Wait so if you’re not a goddess what are you?’ he asked. “I think your people and all the stars would call me a spirit or eternal entity. My people though are a race just like any other. We are what’s called the race of the gods please note not all of us call ourselves that. Though 95% of my kind could do believe they are gods despite a lot of them falling to Artemis the Godslayer and other warriors over the ages. We are what you call the Archons a race of incredibly powerful beings each containing the power to destroy realities and dimensions. In the beginning when the great creator created all things energy from the entire reaches of creation came together and formed beings of pure sentient energy that formed bodies and became the Archon race.” She said. “That’s amazing but who is the great creator you talk about?” he asked. “He was the first and most powerful archon of them all. Our scripture says he was a god the first and only god to exist and from him we came to be. It says when he was done creating the universe he desired to create sentinels and guardians of his creation so he made us. Our home is called Estoera it exists on the edge of time and reality and that’s where you will find your ancestors cloak as it too is an artifact of those people.” She said. “How do I get there?” he said. She smiled slyly not blushing for the first time. “You said you’d want to marry me at some point right? You swore upon your god and took my mark correct?” she said. “Yes.” He said confused. “Only an Archon can enter Estoera but only the person who they have marked can enter with them.” She said. “So you my darling are going to be going there someday and that day will be the same day you and I are to be husband and wife.” She said. He smiled at her as she smiled at him.
