What if a god get attached to Jeanette ? What if he decided to become her protector and, even more, her father ? And what if he wants to make her a goddess ?
"Jenny, tell me who hurt you and I will destroy them ."
"Daddy , don't be so dramatic I jus...
Acnologia was in a forest near a small town called Mieta if he remembered correctly. He was walking around trying to enjoy the peace of the forest without the presence of those pests called humans. But his peace was quickly disturbed by the arrival of a young girl with brown hair and green eyes.

"E-excuse me for disturbing you sir but can you help me?" Asks the nervous girl
Her question took him by surprise. He gave her a confused look, very confused.
Was this girl asking him, the god of destruction, for help? Did she not know who she was talking to?
"Uh, sir? Is everything all right?"
He gazed at her for a moment. She looked very worried about him. This girl was worried about him....Yes now he was sure, she really didn't know who he was. He had to admit that it was a bit vexing. But even so it wasn't disrespect, just ignorance. He may have been a God of destruction but he never hurt children or babies, he had common sense anyway.
He snapped out of his thoughts and looked intently at the girl.
"What do you want?"
"Well, you may scoff, but I was looking for flowers to give to my father and I got lost...so .... I was wondering if you could help me get out of here?" she said intimidated by his gaze, it was as if his deep blue eyes were staring directly into her soul.
He was silent for a moment before deciding to speak.
"What's your name?"
"J-jeanette"
"All right,jeanette. .... Tell me,why didn't you go to a florist? It would have saved you from getting lost in this forest." He says with a jaded face while crossing his arms
"Umm.well I wanted to go and get the flowers myself...and then I also wanted to walk in the forest and stay a little alone" she confessed a little ashamed
The last part of her answer piqued his curiosity. Why did this girl want to be alone in this forest? Wasn't she afraid of the dangers that might be there?
"Why? It's not safe for someone like you to be alone here."
"Yes, I know, but...today there were a lot of people in the city and I didn't feel very comfortable, plus..." She looked up at the tall trees that towered over them, they were redwoods.

"I wanted to see the forest more closely..."
"Why?" he repeated intrigued
"To be honest...it has always fascinated me..."
She was fascinated by the forest? This girl was really not like the others.
"Why are you so fascinated by it ? Most girls your age are only interested in jewellery, beautiful dresses and stuff like that.
Acnologia didn't like clichés, but he remembered how many girls he met who were obsessed with all those things...
"Well actually, all my life I could only see gardens, symmetrical, well trimmed, you chose which plants to put in and where to place them, in a garden everything was decided..."
She had a strange look on her face when she said that, it looked like it was sad.... Why? Were the gardens she was talking about so horrible? He couldn't judge. If he wasn't mistaken, only high-ranking nobles could own such gardens, and he avoided going near them because he hated them almost as much as he hated magicians.
Both were arrogant, but among the nobles, the ones he despised the most were the royal and even imperial families. Oh how he wished he could kill them now....But he finally calmed down and continued to listen to the girl.
"I've always wanted to venture into a big forest and explore it. And also to enjoy the peaceful silence there, the birds singing, the sound of the wind..." she put a dreamy look on her face.
To him, this girl was special. She was like no other human being he had ever met before. She knew how to appreciate the beauty of nature and marvel at the simplest things in life. It was just a simple forest, yet she looked at it as if it were the most incredible thing in the world.
She didn't seem to seek wealth and power, there was no malicious glint in her eye. He missed those kind of humans, the kind that were kind by nature and not by interest. Those who appreciated life for what it was worth.
Looking closely, he had the impression that Jeannette had been through a lot, yet she was smiling as if her life was a fairy tale. This little girl is strong.
"After all, the strongest people are the ones who are still kind even when the world has done them harm" He thought
Acnologia gave a small smile. A sincere smile that he hadn't done in thousands of years. He liked her. He gently approached her and patted her head.
"Don't worry little one , I'll help you"
"Really?"
"Of course, the way out is this way" He said pointing in a direction.
"Let's go, follow me" He says as he starts walking
Jeanette started to panic. Was he really going to go with her? But she didn't want to disturb him!
"You don't need to accompany me, sir! It was nice of you to show me the way!
"I insist, there must be someone with you to protect you. Nature is beautiful but not harmless. And don't call me sir, my name is Acnologia " he explained
"A-all right Acnologia " She said as she followed him
Even after telling her his name, this girl still didn't recognize him. It was just as well, he didn't want to frighten her
They walked together towards the exit of the forest. Seeming to enjoy each other's company, they began a cheerful discussion.
And so a strong bond began to form between two people who were complete opposites.
