                                                                                      bringer of evil

       Akitah in the rose garden as she gazes upon the land which she now claimed as hers. She almost got lost in the beauty of the land until she slowly felt a dark presence creeping up her back, as if some new force was lying just behind her. Akitah froze for a second, turning around only to see a tall dark figure standing right behind her. 

Akitah quickly leaped up out of her flower bed and almost let out a shirk but the figure grabbed her face to stop her. She angrily shoved the thing away only to realize it was a man, around the age of 500 universal years, staring back at her, grinning. 

 "Why hello Akitah." said the man, leaning closer, as if trying to kiss her. 

"Uhm, hello.." She said awkwardly backing away from him "And who might you be? And how do you know my name?"

He backs away and smiles softly. " My, I must have forgotten my manners. I am lord Byron, god of death and misfortune." He looks down at her. " And of course I would know you, your the prettiest goddess I've ever seen."

"Well I'd be flattered" She says rolling her eyes and sitting back down. " What do you want?"

"Nothing really.." he said sitting closely beside her.

An awkward silence. 

Byron inches closer to her slowly putting his arm around her waist. She doesn't flinch or seem to even notice, because she was too focused on her surroundings. Again, he slowly moves his arm down to her bottom, but this time, he isn't very lucky. 

Akitah jerks and leaps out of the flowerbed in which they at in.

"And JUST WHAT do you think you're doing?" She yells. She cant even think to believe she had been foolish enough to even sit with this strange young man, let alone not notice him touching her. 

Byron laughs and springs up from the flowerbed. "Well, I have work to do here. I'll see you around, beautiful." And just like that he disappears out of sight.

Akitah snarls at his remark and huffs. Her mind is completely out of order and she cant even remember what she had been thinking about. She wouldn't let her guard down like that anymore.
