Pure I FIXING AND RE-DOING GO READ THE BEASTS EYES NOT THIS

Chapter 10: Schlangen wie Katzen

WARNING : I'm not trying to change the Greek Mythology stories this is just for my lore. 

*'~-Nali-~'*

I didn't know what to say to the goddess. I was frozen. She gave me a stern glare and held up her bow and arrow. The arrow was pointed right at my throat and she had it pulled back ready to fire if needed. I held my hands up in defense.

"Uh. N-No I was just. Taking care of my own horse," This statement wasn't completely a lie. I did have my own horse but he was in a different stable. Not this one. And I wasn't here to take care of him. The goddess glared down at me with a contemplating look before she sighed and retracked her bow.

"Apologies. I've been on edge recently," She said, putting her arrow back into the quiver. I shook my head and said.

"Quite alright. Is there a reason why?" My goddess didn't say anything and just lend me a hand to get up which I was more than happy to use. Her hands were just like I thought they would be. Rough but gentle. Just like her personality. 

"I'm not sure a keep feeling like I'm being watched but I can't find out who or what it is. And to top it off I had to deal with fuck face," She said putting a hand on her temple. 

SHIT SHIT SHIT I've been making her uncomfortable?! I didn't really know that she could see me! I Mean I've seen her look back sometimes but I didn't know she was getting stressed over it!

I started messing with my fingers trying to get the anxiousness out of my body. Moments like these where I wish I had my whole face covered. She can probably see the look of horror in my eyes. 

Who's fuck face?" I ask, still a little nervous. I already knew who he was but I didn't want to blow my cover. She brought her hand down from her temple and folded it onto the other. If looks could kill Aengus would have his head on a stick.

"Sexist mother fucker that's what he is," She paused for a second shaking her head "Sorry you asked who he was not how he was. His name is Aengus or some stupid shit. Such a fucking cocky name," I nodded and scratched the back of my neck.

"Sorry about him. He seems like an asshole," The goddess nodded at my words and looked back at Xanthas.

"You wanna ride?" I almost choked on my spit with that statement. 

"I-I'm sorry what?" I said. I felt heat flow up my neck and to my cheeks. Well now I'm thankful I have the mask on.

"On Xanthas? My horse? You seem pretty nervous about something. Maybe a ride a will calm you down?" The goddess said. Her voice had gone from murder to a more smooth and sympathetic sound. I composed myself and nodded.

"Uh yeah! Sure," I say and follow her to the Friesian horse. My goddess gently took my wrist, which I heavily obliged, and carefully had me reach out and place my hand on the snout on the creature. Xanthas was a darker color than my horse, Batu, and a little taller than him too. He didn't move back and instead moved into my touch which I smiled at. 

"I can't tell if you're smiling or almost crying?" The goddess said to me. I flinched a little forgetting she was there. "It's hard to tell when you have your mouth covered. Why is that if I may ask?" She said with a raise brow. I shook my head.

"You may not. It's personal," I say in a whisper, still stroking Xanthas who couldn't be anymore plaeased. The goddess nodded her head and turned from facing the horse to facing me. She had one hand holding her bow and the other held out to me.
