Chapter 10

The next morning did not get here anywhere near fast enough. I had barely slept spending the night in bed with Christina. Feeling her body pressed into mine with my arm around her, I became acutely aware of how delicate and feminine her body really was. To make matters worse, I kept feeling like I was doing something inappropriate so I kept trying to move my hand around to stop but just ended up basically feeling her up.

About an hour before sunrise, I got out of bed, which actually didn't seem to wake her. I went to pray so that I could prepare my spells, and before I actually prepared them I said an actual slight prayer to whatever god was in this world asking for forgiveness for all my thoughts and actions throughout the night.

Around the same time I finished my spell preparation, Christina woke up. “Good morning, Archaeus. Oh no, I didn't kick you out of bed did I?” She seemed to be really concerned.

“Absolutely not, I just had to make sure to wake up early, so I had time to do my prayers and finish packing before we left. I slept well.” It appeared as though Archaeus actually let that last little white lie slip by.

“Good, I would have been sad had you not. I actually had great dreams all last night it was wonderful. We should really do this more often.”

“Oh, ya definitely.” I gulped remembering the night and wondering what kind of dreams she had had.

“Let me do a quick change into some clothes for travel, and then I should have time to make us a quick breakfast before we go.” She said as she got out of bed.

“That sounds great.”

She left the room, and I was exhausted.

I didn't have much, but I packed up all my gear in my backpack and headed downstairs. By the time I got there, Christina was already making breakfast. She had changed quickly. She was now wearing a pair of pants and a tunic.

I went through the kitchen and outside through the backdoor. Like normal Zeus was laying there.

“Hey Zeus, I'm going to be heading to the capital for a few days, and I would like it if you would stay here. You know I can summon you if I need you, and I feel you would be more useful here. Rin did agree to look after the village in my absence, but you are far more powerful than her so help her out.”

He looked at me with enormous puppy dog eyes like he was wounded by the fact I wasn't taking him with me.

“Don't give me that look. I love you too, buddy, but I really need you to stay here.”

He walked up to me and rubbed his face over mine as if to say, “I'm going to miss you.”

“I'll miss you too,” I said. Then I sat there for a little while longer and pet him until Christina called me inside for breakfast.

It was a pretty basic breakfast, but it was delicious.
