A/N: Awah! Beautiful... (•ﾟдﾟ•) _(┐「ε:)_❤

    Kars and I stared at each other in silence for a moment. He circles around me, really taking in my appearance before speaking. "For the evening we will enjoy a nice stroll through the beach , and indulge in some foods while stargazing by the shore." He explained matter-o-factly. I was taken aback. I thought he was a warmonger...the type to terrorize a village or something to show off his primal rage and intellect in battle. " I'm honored my Lord that you are being so considerate. How will we traveling to the nearest beach it will be quite a distance getting from here to there..." He walks up to me and brushes some strands of hair out of my face. Using his other hand to wrap around my waist and eyeing me attentively. " What a thoughtful little servant you are...how adorable. Wammu will be bringing one of his horses for myself and since the beast...." He looks to Dimas in the corner of the room before continuing. "is of a suitable size, you are allowed to ride him." The hand playing with my hair is removed, and the other nudges my shoulder for us to turn around and move. "The sun is setting now, so we will depart." He looks forward. "Yes my lord." I say as I place my hands to my sides, playing with the sheer fabric to calm my lingering anxiety. I look to Dimas and he walks up behind me, putting distance between himself and Kars so they won't be at each others throats for my sake. But that would enjoyable to Kars to say the least. 

     We exit the main entrance of the temple. There stood before us was a huge stallion as dark as  a starless night, ears twitching as it snorts in the presence of the leader of the Pillarmen. "Excellent Wammu for bringing this horse in good timing." Wammu kneels and thanks Kars for his praise. As he switches from the kneeling  position to stand to his feet his eyes and mine lock onto each other briefly before he looks away. His actions were understandable , because he did not want his stares to be seen as a challenge between the Pillar Lord (idfk) and the underling. I couldn't help but gaze in awe  at the site of the monstrous beast, debating whether I wanted a closer look, but my logic over curiosity won and I remained stock still. Kars moved me closer ignoring my silent protest against this. Informing me which horse this was out of the other 4(?) horses. "His name is Pride." Kars says as the horse snarled, sharp teeth bared and hooves stomping into the dirt below him at the sound of his name being spoken. Nostrils flared as his muscular chest heaved with each breath. A bloodthirsty and frightening aura permeated the air. His mane was trimmed neatly into that of a gladiator type style adorned with spiked headgear as well as sturdy mouth gear that connected to the reigns and prevented any biting. The horse was armored and ready for riding.

     It was amazing to see how awesome it looked but still scared the living shit out of me. Kars made his way over to the horse's saddle. Patting the animal firmly but gently, he mounted the animal.  I tear my gaze away from the horse and climb onto Dimas,who was being saddled by Wammu . I thanked him quietly and he nodded before departing. Dimas moved a bit closer to Pride. His body matched the horse's in length, but the horse was a head taller. Pride neighs and huffs at Dimas. Sizing each other up while Dimas lets out a deep and annoyed roar. I pet him in gratitude for holding back the anger he felt that comes with being an alpha predator versus what would be considered a prey animal. "It looks like Pride might have met his match , wouldn't you agree pet?" he smirks at me and looks at Dimas.  My eye twitched. Bitch, i swear if you call me pet again..  "Certainly Lord Kars. What with the power that both animals display. This is a worthy site to behold." I smile softly. "Come, we shall head out at once." I let Kars lead the way through the forest. Pride galloping at a moderate pace. Kars did look incredibly handsome while taking reigns of the seemingly untamable beast. Muscles flexing and relaxing at each turn he made. I trailed behind him swiftly on Dimas, admiring the shift of his shoulder blades and hair that blew in the cool wind that whipped around us. I'm glad he decided not to wear his headscarf. But I'm not complaining. I then look to the Golden jaguar, noticing the evening glow in his sunset-colored eyes as the skies grew darker. Oranges, indigos, and pinks painted the night sky and the last traces of wispy clouds disappeared from site. This truly did feel like some fairy-tale adventure. I smile to myself but look back up again to see the terrain change from soft dirt to fine sand. 

     We were getting ever closer to our destination. I gasp, hearing the sweet sounds of the ocean were getting clearer, catching the scent of the salty breeze and tall Palm trees grew throughout the beautiful scenery. As we traveled through the sandy beach a cluster of rocks stood out close to the edge of the crystal clear waters. Kars came to a stop and got off of Pride, I remove myself from Dimas and let him explore the beach. 

   "I hope you find this location to your liking..." Kars walks towards me and reaches for my hand. My face grows hot and I gingerly grab his calloused hand in my own softer one so he can guide me towards the rocks. " It really is amazing. I never really get to stop and bask in the beauty of nature as long as I would like ." I look off into the horizon where the sky melts into the sea and then back to his face, which seems softer in comparison to his usual arrogant attitude towards everyone. " Hmm. I'm pleased to be able to share this with you and witness such a fine creation. I smile a genuine smile then. It seems like he is warming up to me after all.
