Soulmates

Prologue

A thousand years ago

It's her ! Again ! Damn she's beautiful

Like every night for 2 months already, he's been sneaking out at night to see her. His mysterious girl. Tonight, he will talk to her. It's the night. He knows it's forbidden, he will have a lot of trouble but he can't help it.

She already took his heart.

He is now in the clearing where she comes to admire the stars almost every night. She stands at the edge of the stream, lying in the grass with her eyes closed. The only sound is that of flowing water. He still can not bring himself to move forward. He is frozen on the spot, from the moment he saw her, all his good resolutions went up in smoke.

O god I can't do this

As he was about to leave, a voice made a heart beat fail

"Neither tonight huh ..."

He froze again, forgetting to breathe.

Is she talking to me ? No she cannot know that I'm here. She must be talking to herself

"I thought you would talk to me tonight. But that does not seem to be the case. I hope you'll come back tomorrow ... "

The voice of the girl seemed sad and disappointed. He was heartbroken to hear that.

"How did you know I was there? "

It was silly, but it was the only thing that came to his mind at that moment.

The girl spread her lips in a broad smile

"You are not very discreet"

Yet he was usually very discreet. It was essential for him not to be seen by mortals. For 200 years now that he came to earth, observe humans and sometimes disrupt their lives by shooting arrows at all, he was never caught. But who was this girl? Maybe he did it unconsciously. Maybe he wanted her to see him...

Frowning, he moved towards her.

" It's not true ! I am very discreet !! Nobody has ever seen me !! Even when I launched an arrow on the emperor ... " he stopped talking after realizing what he said.

He was now facing her, and realized he was talking too much. Immediately, he turned red and put both hands on his mouth, as if to prevent the words from coming out.

The girl looked at him first with round eyes, and after the longest 2 seconds of the half-god's life, she burst out laughing.
It was the most magnificent sound he had ever heard. That's how he knew. She will cause his end. He'll have to pay the consequences, but he did not care.

He knew. Of course he knew! He was cupid. The feeling that the world was only turning around her, that he could die for her. The feeling that she was the sun in the night, the only person who could make him know what happiness is.

He knew because it was his role, what he did with his life, his job. Give this feeling to humans, watch them get married, then live happily.

This feeling was as beautiful as it was unpredictable.

Love.
