This village looked very pretty and peaceful. It was a small place where everyone knew each other and greeted them with a cheerful smile on their face.
Mostly, people here would use bicycles or walk to reach their destination. It was so rare to see a car or motorcycle. They would use only this type of transportation when they needed to transfer goods.
The air was very fresh and from afar, you could even hear the sound of birds chirping while flying from one branch to another.
“Why don’t we live here?” Zuri leaned sideways, as she spoke in a small voice near Chaos’ ear. “This place is so nice and peaceful, we can live here and forget about everything, what do you think?” She looked at Chaos expectantly.
There was part of Zuri that didn’t want to look back. Damn with that ill fate between them or the story about their previous life, the devils and the gods. She just wanted to be with Chaos and that was all she needed.
On the other hand, Chaos chuckled to see how eager Zuri sounded. “What will you do here?” Chaos lowered his head and then caressed her face. He tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. She looked beautiful as the rays of sunlight streaming through the window beside them created a halo around her frame. “Should we find work in this village?” Chaos teased her lightly.
“Why should we find work when you are so rich?” Zuri frowned.
Chaos didn’t teleport them because he didn’t feel he was stable enough and didn’t want to risk losing control right now, but he was still able to produce money.
It was not that he created money from thin air, he simply took the money from the McKeltar safe and got his hands on that money magically.
.....
And when Zuri asked how much money that McKeltar had, Chaos just laughed at that stupid question and simply said; just tell me what you want and I will buy it for you.
“Our cover will quickly blow up if people become curious about the money that we have.” Chaos played with her long hair, fiddling a strand of it between his fingers, as he watched the white color emanate a beautiful glow under the sunlight. He was fascinated by it. He was always fascinated by her...
“Oh, you are so ancient,” Zuri grumbled. “Don’t you know that there’s this thing called working remotely? You don’t have to leave the house.”
Chaos laughed when he heard the way Zuri called him ‘ancient’. Yes, he was indeed an ancient soul, but he roamed this realm longer than this little white wolf. How could she complain about it?
“Okay.” Chaos nodded. “Let’s do whatever you want.”
Zuri beamed when she heard that. She was excited to live in this place, far away from the chaotic world in the mainland.
Mainland was the biggest island in this realm, and there were three nations on it; East Draghar, West Draghar and Artzees country.
Killian shifted into his dragon beast in East Draghar and now the army from Artzees country was helping them to tame the beast. Of course, there would be more politics involved in it, since Artzees country had been split into two; the area where humans lived, which was now the new capital city, and the area where the supernatural creatures lived, which was the old capital city, where McKeltar manor was.
Even those supernatural creatures in the old capital city had divided themselves into packs, covens and other categories and assortments, depending on one’s own kind.
It was only the McKeltar manor that would accept various supernatural creatures that went astray from their packs or was not accepted by their own kind.
It was complicated enough to live in that kind of situation.
But here, those complications didn’t even seem to exist, this place was very peaceful, as if those troubles couldn’t touch this village at all.
These people didn’t even realize there were some parts of this world where people were trying to kill each other, trying to ruin everything around them because everyone there thought that humans and non-human beings couldn’t coexist.
This was something that you couldn’t deny, this belief had been carved on the stone, got mixed in their blood. There was simply no cure to that.
And all of those beliefs took root because of Aaron.
Just like Chaos, Aaron was also an ancient soul, he had been in this realm longer than anyone knew, patiently sowing the seeds of such beliefs for hundreds of years.
He had managed to come between Chaos and Zuri twice in the past and managed to make them go through a tragic end both times, but right now, he would make it epic, since he wanted to bring the whole realm down with him.
Yet, this peaceful village was akin to a sanctuary against that cathartic world.
“We need to find new names for ourselves,” Zuri said. She was excited with this new hope that bloomed inside of her and Chaos was more than willing to entertain her in this matter.
“What name do you want?” Chaos asked.
At that time, the waiter came with their order and placed it on the table. She looked at Chaos a little bit longer, fascinated by his long and black hair. His face was sculpted perfectly, as if the god himself had carved him. Probably, that statement was not completely wrong...
“What name do you think suits me?” Chaos asked. He stood up and then moved to sit next to her, as he tied her long, white hair into a bun, so her hair wouldn’t get in the way when she was eating.
“What name do you like?” Zuri asked him, she forgot about her meal, since she was too engrossed in this conversation.
Maybe this village gave off a positive vibe, thus Zuri felt new hope inside of her and she didn’t want to let go of the possibility of them being able to be together, forgetting about everything else.
“I can go with any name that you give me,” Chaos said softly.
