majestic beasts that once roamed the land freely now served humans as their "bodyguards." because they are immortal, they were to never get attached to their owner; it was considered a sin. but this was different for a certain beast, an adeptus to be exact, whose name is xiao. he wanted to be wherever his master went, for she were always getting into trouble and danger. "I don't need you." (Y/N) once said. these words sliced right through his chest, but no matter what they said, xiao's feelings for her would never change.
