Hohenheim and Mia, recently sitting on a slightly withered tree stamp, were both listening to the stories Naigon the nature told them.

“Oh little dragon, how nice it was to meet you again. And even more is it a pleasure to see you in very good hands.”

Naigon sighed shortly and cast his gaze on Hohenheim and back to Mia

“But unfortunately the joyful things last the shortest and my departure cant be delayed any further.

Too long have I remained abstinent from my former duties and change happened already. I feel that my power is needed and that some preparations were needed to be done.”

Naigon slightly smiled and with a floating movement of his body, he stepped forwards and hugged Mia

“Does this mean farewell already? But we just met you now...”

Mia was entirely flabbergasted and some special emotions raised in her complexion, with a sudden flash even a strand of tears flow from her brilliant white face and with a drop they became rainbows in the sunlight.

“Ah, dont be too sad little dragon, I am sure that we will truly meet again in this life, be it for good or bad.”

Naigon really couldn´t bear it to see his beloved friend in this kind of state.

With his thick brown brows and his deep and dark unfathomable eyes, he just looked like an overprotective father and a desperate complexion emerged on his face as he faced the sad Mia.

“Don't worry Mia, our life is long. Who knows when we will meet again, but for sure we will. And till then you still have me and the others, especially me.”

Hohenheim felt some sympathy for the old men and slightly smilingly approached Mia and took her in his embrace.

“Mm”

Mia came to realize that this departure wont mean a farewell for ever, but just for a short while.

And what Hohenheim said was still the truth, their lives are long, even described as immortal and never ending.

So she nodded and let Hohenheim take her fully in his embrace.

Naigon clasped his hands towards Hohenheim and within a blink of an eye, just a voice remained as he vanished.

“And that you will take good care of that dragon, haha huhuhu.”

Naigon vanished and the voice resounded.

“A bit crazy, this old man. But still a great character.”

Hohenheim lightly stroke Mia's back and her silver-white hair was smoothly bend by his hand.

“Mm, he has really helped me back then. He is family, so when you ever think of something indecent, be aware that he will righteously punish you.”

And just with that the sadness seemed to be forgotten already, as Mia chuckled and with a tight grab extended her arms around Hohenheims body and tightly hugged him.

“Mia... this is...”

Hohenheim was a bit stunned, as his view wandered all around the perfect formed body of Mia.

Mia's alluring body really could enchant even the gods. With her silver-white hair and her white like jade skin, those fragile slender hands and arms. Her beauty can really be not compared to anything Hohenheim has seen.

Just ten minutes have past with those two only hugging.

“I will never leave your side and be it the demons or the dark gods. Your enemy is my enemy.”

After a light flash, Mia loosened her hug and two big round and alluring eyes looked up to Hohenheim and a firm expression was set in them.

Hohenheim was stunned, very complicated feelings rose inside his chest. Before he even considered a bit of distrust towards Mia, he wasnt sure if she would not return to her deadly weapon self.

But looking at this situation now, how could he possibly have bad thoughts about Mia. Every inch of distrust was dispelled with a big poof and his heart became sure to one thing.

“I must protect this girl”

Every thought about Mia, made Hohenheim incomparable happy, as for his self he isnt aware that he has already changed, but a flame began to burn inside his heart and this flame bears infinite feelings for Mia.

“You are right, I take this as a promise.” Hohenheims expression changed into a surge of loveliness, while he lightly patted Mia's head.

“Mm, I promise.”

Mia nodded her head and a beautiful smile rose from her, cherry like and small lips.

And with sudden and well aimed undulations from her hands, she managed to slightly stroke Hohenheims chest, as she drew small circles with her fingers.

Hohenheim was taken aback, this genuine feeling coming from his chest, as Mia slowly drew circles on him. He couldn't bear it any longer and an urgent feeling of love stirred in him. And with his heart being warmed to an evenly unknown extend, he looked at Mia's alluring bright shining eyes, the moment he opened his mouth, to say something, a flash surged.

Mia immediately used this opportunity and with a cunning movement, two very smooth, soft and small lips pressed themselves on Hohenheims.

As he felt this warmth coming from her cherry like-lips, he nearly went numb. But after realizing, the feeling became even more intensive.

And with a slight kissing sound, he replied the kiss.

For a good while both of them held each other in their embrace and gave of a picture of pure and warm brilliance.

Mia tiptoeing ,to even reach Hohenheims face, gave of a feeling of enchantment, as her silver-white, fine hair glistened in the evening sun and her fragile and slender body wavered in Hohenheims embrace. While Hohenheim kept a firm and reliable appearance.

“hm...”

with a cough Hohenheim retracted his hug and slightly pushed Mia away, as a slight sign of embarrassment moved on his face

“hehe”

Mia couldn't restrain a beautiful chuckle as she slowly backed of and a bright shining smile rose on her face, as her bright and round eyes grinned at Hohenheim

“Ähem, well... this.. I...”

But before Hohenheim could reply anything, Mia happily jumped towards his ear and whispered with an alluring tone.

“I just like you, really much.”

Mia whispered and also estimated a lightly red complexion on her face, which actually gave her an even more alluring stance.

A complex train of thoughts ran through Hohenheims head, but the result was always a dead end in confusion. He is just not used to someone doing this kinds of actions.

So his superb answer of idiocy was

“I like you also very much.”

(AN: sorry guys, I lost a bet with a friend, he said if I lose I am not allowed to write a sexual scene before entering chapter 25)

“Ähem...looking at the turn of night, we really should go further. Wont you agree?”

Hohenheim couldn't help feeling a bit confused and rapidly wanted to change the topic.

“Hmp... you truly cant read the mood, Okey. Let us explore further.”

Mia was shortly very flabbergasted and muttered a short phrase to herself, but Hohenheim couldn't notice the content. But with her nature, she truly calmed down quiet fast and returned to her cherish happy self, as she knew that she would definitely walk towards more chances of becoming intimate.

“Mm, hasn't Naigon told us, that there is a human city very nearby? How about it, I will treat you to some superb food.”

Hohenheim felt a little bad about their crumbed-mood situation and with a smile offered a meal, because even though they dont need to eat, Mia really loves food of all kinds.

“Yeah, that sounds like it! Hhm hehe”

And as predicted Mia's mood instantly became very excited and her self couldn't stop bouncing up and down with brimming smiles on her white and shining face.

“than that's settled, but let us change our appearance. I have bad memories about cities in this continent... And I think it would be better if we dont look to outstanding from the normal commoners here.”

On Hohenheims facial expression rose some bad memories and a slight shiver went over his body as he remembered his meeting with Zaito.

“Mm, no problem here. I always wanted to try this ability”

With joyful laughter Mia's current appearance began to change within a white and thick mist.

“Good, then I'll change as well.”

Hohenheim stated and with a will he estimated the same white mist and his body changed into a, near the 20 year old, young and very handsome, black haired male. He is around 180 cm tall and has a very cared for hair as well as face. His clothe also has undergone a change and he is now wearing a well-fed noblemen outfit and a gray colored cloak.

As his change finished, he cast his gaze towards Mia, who slowly came to view, as the white mist dissipated.

But instead of an alluring beauty, Hohenheim was dumbstruck and flabbergasted, there was suddenly an old and very aged looking women, with tens of thousands wrinkles all over her face and her hands were like steamed buns. And mentioning her once very beauty and stunning curves there was nothing but old and flabby skin.

“Uhu, Mia you... why are you old and naked?”

There were no words for Mia's sudden change and Hohenheim wasn't sure if he either should break into a mad laughter or should cry about the wasted beauty.

“Mhh, so this is what it feels like, when your bones aren't fit and unbreakable anymore. Ah ah ah”

Mia ignored Hohenheims question and her voice sounded very aged as she spoke and laughed.

Only after examining her body, did Mia took a few steps towards Hohenheim. But directly as she arrived in front of him she broke into a mad laughter and waved her hands, as she saw how flabbergasted and dispirited he was.

With a short come up of the white mist again, she changed again. Now she also was near the 20 years old, but her hair was white-blond and her body was very fine matured. She wore a tight fitting dress and a small pinkish shoulder throw.

Within the sunlight her appearance became very stunning and she could easily be rated as a goddess.

The curves on her body were fine highlighted and her face represented the beauty of a moon.

A cute and timid nose, cherry red, small lips and round big eyes. And in addition, her two very well developed peaks in front of her chest, gave of an alluring and nearly irresistible feeling.

Even Hohenheim couldn't hold his mouth slowly widening form this sight.

“Hehe, you like this better?”

Exactly knowing how alluring she was, Mia throws very enchanting views to Hohenheim and with a blink of an eye she stepped very near his face, only separated by a 4 cm.

Facing a situation like this, he could even feel Mia's breath and her sweet scent, Hohenheim really restrained himself as he answered

“Yes, yes! You really look cute and beautiful, but I like your true self even more... we should go better go now before it gets night.”

And with a gulp he turned around, knowing that if this pose would have continued longer, he was not sure for what would have happened.

“Hihi,hm”

Mia became very elated as she heard Hohenheims reply and humming followed after him

With a shrug, Hohenheim created a small gale beneath his feet and rashly accelerated towards a special direction, which Naigon said the city was at.

It was not hard for Mia, to follow him in a proper speed, but if one were to be passed by those two, he wouldn't even recognize that there were two people passing by. He would just naturally be caught in an enormous gale left by their speed.

Within only ten minutes, it was as Naigon explained. Before the two of them an astonishingly large

city arose. Only from the looks, from a far distance, both of them could tell that this city was no small matter. The complete size of the city would match a small country.

All behind some large city walls, there were the peaks of large and crested towers and even some bigger houses to see. A really magnificent view, one of those views to emphasize in ones memories.

As the sun slowly sank down, it even gave of a majesty towards the peaks and roofs, as the sunlight got split and a heavenly picture was created.

This time Hohenheim and Mia didn't want to create a stir, so they decided to look for a fairly unguarded spot at a wall and as if a bright storm would come, they leaped over the 30 meter high wall as if it were nothing.

And were seen by no one.

Within the city, there were streets of cobblestone and very sturdy and well build timbered houses.

It was very lively and everywhere were some commoners walking, talking or even children who were chasing after another.

The big streets weren't confusing, due to a bunch of signs telling the direction. And as it happened, right on the street, where the two of them were walking a large and very good looking tavern appears.

“The Gong Hopper”

“What a strange name. But it looks pretty well, what do you think, shall we go in and eat?”

Hohenheim looked at Mia, still not used to her new appearance, and smiled at her while suggesting to eat there.

However, right before Mia could reply anything, a group of young men and women walked towards the tavern as well. And as they entered one of them kept outside and gazed at Mia while saying

“Oh, young lady. I've never seen you here before are you going to stay here for a while? You arent from here am I right, I would clearly remember a beauty as your self. If you want to I can show you around the city, hehe.”

The young man who has halted in front of Mia, was a slippery and very unsightly one. A long hooked nose and a bunch of pimples in his face. He even gave of a slight stench of sewer.

And as he said his words he even shamelessly licked his lips and it was very obvioulsy that he had some malicious intends.

Mia was very disgusted by his appearance and with a gaze full of disdain she replied

“Scram, I am not a person you can reach, with your filthy hands! Besides I am here in accompany already.”

“Hoh, and who might that be?”

Only than, did the ugly man recognize Hohenheim who stands besides Mia. And with a very sinister face he examined the young and handsome man besides Mia.

“And in what relations are he both of you? You must know, I am the third heir of Count Gregor.

Wouldn't it be better for you to accompany me instead of this...(he takes a disdainful break) lower class henchmen.”

“YOU DARE...”

Before Mia could respond in any manner, she got interrupted by Hohenheim

“Stop!, I dont care who you are, or which number your heritage carries. Because I am her fiance and I love her. So you better not dare to touch her, or else dont blame me for being impolite.”

Hohenheim couldn't stand the matter that someone truly tried to harm his Mia and with a sudden enlightenment a surge of his feelings for Mia came up with a rising fury. And so he made a sudden confession.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apparently I have some spare time, so I can write more often.

By the way I really think my writing style got a lot influenced by the bunch of wuxia and xianxia stories I read. And I think I wont change this style anymore. I like it best and its easy.

Please give me some opinions or even suggestions.

Due to the lost bet, no sexual scenes between him and Mia so far, but do you even want more romance ? Or more story ? More action? Comment me!

Ps. have a nice day XD
