"Cayn," spoke Diana in a low voice.
"Yes," as he raised his eyes.
"Thank you, for choosing me too," she said with a warm felt smile.
"Hmm."
"The engagement is for us to have more free time to see each other, with no bad rumors lingering around. So I wish to let you know this about me, I wish to rule my kingdom, as a Queen." Diana had determined eyes, her will gave her a strong presence as she stood in front of Cayn. "If you still wish to stand by my side, I will care for you and love you, and I will stand strong in front of anything that may arise between us as I strive for my ambitions. I would like to know your wishes."
Cayn watched silently. With her presence, he thought Diana already stood as a queen.
He answered after a moment, "I wish for nothing more than to protect my loved ones and spend time with them."
"Cayn!" She put her hand on his cheek, meeting his cold gaze . "Something, for you."
"I am happy whenever I get to see their smil-"
"What about yours! I would have normally said nothing as it was your duty, but you are neglecting yourself even when you have no such reason to in this life."
"I..." Cayn looked down, "I don't know," he sighed. "I never got the chance to think it through."
"I can see it in your eyes, you are merely existing, thinking your only purpose is to protect your people. You should know you are worth much more than that."
He smiled.
"Cayn," she got closer. "You are worth fighting for too."
He chuckled.
"You are worth the worl-"

His eyes grew dim, as he met her bright eyes.
They looked at each other for a while, Cayn's eyes answered her.
She sighs saying, "Too much blood in your hands."
He got closer, putting his head on hers. "I am happy. As long as I get to see their smiles, your smile included, I would do anything."
She looked at him for a moment, before slowly wrapping her hands around his body.
"I will stand by your side." He said smiling, "and, don't forget to show me the world i am worth," he said holding her.
Diana hugged him tighter, smiling. "I will."
Cayn gently put his head on her shoulders as he embraced her. "Your heartbeat, it's warm."
"Yours too."
Cayn slowly let go after a bit of time, "Sleep well."
"You too, goodnight."
He smiled, patting her head as he left, leaving her staring at his wide back, entering her room until he left.
Diana sighed as she fell on her bed. She thought for a long time about what Cayn had to endure to be who he was today. She couldn't help but think she tried to reach his heart too fast, her feelings got the best of her, but at least it went well.
She smiled warmly as she touched her head where he patted her, slowly falling asleep holding her pillow.

A figure was walking in the middle of the forbidden forest, deep inside towards the direction of mountains.
the road was dark, the figure moved without sound. It took a while, then it walked throught what seemed like an illusion wall at the bottom of the largest mountain.
Looking like the entrance of a cave, the figure walked all the way inside, reaching a big pond of water, around it shined hundreds of blue colored gems.

The place finally had enough light to show the figure's face as it stood watching the reflexion of itself in the water. It was Cayn.
Suddenly a pair of blue eyes appeared behind him in the reflexion, like that of a cat's, but they were so bigger and taller than him.
Cayn didn't turn around and stood there in silence.
The figure behind him kept watching, the darkness that englobed it slowly dissipated, showing the figure of a enormous black panther.
the blue eyed beast closed its eyes as it bowed to Cayn's back. "You are back, my liege."
"Yeah," responded Cayn, as he turned to pat it.
Feeling the cold and tired eyes of its lord the beast sat on all four and rested on the ground.
Cayn slowly got down, and laying his back on its black fur. He looked at the hole on roof of the cave, staring at the skies for a moment, before closing his eyes.

This Strange New Life
Seems like I got a new chance. Better not fuck it up then, since I really want to see what it feels to have a family. Power is pretty lame alone. Best used to build things and protect people. Did a lot of building 'till now, lots of research stuff and all. Now, let's protect the people that I love and that loves me back. An enjoyable life with my loved ones. Whatever the cost. Mufufu~~ What can I do, my siblings are so cute~~ maybe I'll try having children at some point~? --- PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION ^p^ ---- This is an extremely slow reincarnation story, with heavy usage of dialogues and diminutive descriptions. Chapter are posted whenever I feel like it, because I won't burn myself down like I did before. Chapters will often be around 2k words. The first arc, Life in Valince, will be at least 50 chapters deep, and the main character won't get to her 1 year anniversary over the span of this arc. As I said, it's a slow, character interaction, dialogue-heavy story. Lots of feeling, slice-of-life etc, with some dramatic events that shape the rest of the story ^^ AND PLEASE, STOP PESTERING ME ABOUT JAPANESE. this story contain a very limited amount of japanese words, used in context for a reason and that are part of the mystery of the worldAnd the bad guys use german (not because nazi buit because german is badass)And there’s also french. Please be open-minded. I’m not a delusional weeb and this kind of thing, and it would be very appreciated if people could be more polite.If you don't like it, I don't force you to read it, but a lot of people seems to like this novel nonetheless, so maybe you should give it a shot. ---- Lux's here! Yeah I know I should work on ToL and ToF but I had another idea, then another one. So here it is. Story talk about a war vet that reincarnate and can finally know what it is to have a family. I like engineering, creating things and all, so I'll try putting production scene in this. Like all my stories, it's about love, be it with family, friends or lovers. I like my coffee with so much love sugar that half the planet would get diabetes. You're warned. Also, the MC is quite OP, but I keep a progression curb and she still has things to learn, which she will eagerly do. After all, curiosity is one of her main drives, with a thirst for love and utter hate of loss, be it losing a battle or losing someone she loves. Ha, nearly forgot. CONTENT WARNINGS AREN'T FOR SHOW. Sex, of course. I'll try to explore sexuality as a male, a female, and some other PoV that can't be categorised like that, not exactly. Also, beware the yuri/yaoi. I don't limit myself to straight couples. Gore. A lot. Blood everywhere, guts spilling and all. I don't do censure. The Mc cut a wolf in half? you get the details of what is inside it. Traumatising content. I dunno. No NTR, no heartbreaking drama. However, some of you may dislike the way I handle bodies and flesh. Got some feedback about body horror on my previous works, but everyone as a different border separating transhumanism and body horror. Mine is pretty high. How high? Go read The Other Labyrthin to have an example. To put it in simple term, I've no problem at all to describe alien bodies, change in human bodies, interactions between differents strange species etc. Expect a lot of tentacle, bio-incubator, spawning pool à la zerg. Profanity. Well, I think you fucking got it in the very first sentence of this synopsis, ain't right? ---- THIS IS A WIP (work in progress)! Earlier chapters may get retconned or completely changed, structure of the story isn't set in stone, all the usual stuff. ANY HELP IS WELCOMED. Want to throw me your idea? Shoot! Spotted an error in the text? Comment! Seen a plothole bigger than the impact zone of a nuke? I'll gladly hear you out and try to fix the problem (somehow ;-;) --- Cover: John Martin - The Plains of Heaven (c. 1851) ---- Official Editor: TheZouave (starting from ch25 onward) ---- List of thanks: Necrotyr (English) Asviloka (English) Damokles (Review) David Talon (Review) JHA (English) Helbom (English) Slee202 (Common Coherence) NEEDS_MORE_DAKA (First First) Srayan (English) Koooomakimi (Dialogue Flow) Emagstar (English) Apocryphal (Review) ToasterForker (Review) Ellen Taylor (Review) Zak (English) PrimalShadow (English) Elliot Flanders (HUGE THANKS for the re-write of the poem "Tale of Ashen Night" Go check their work, it's good ^^) Lance Wheeler (Huge thanks for the English edit on each chapter ^^) (If you think you should be here because you helped me, feel free to ask, pointing the reason, like the comment you gave that could have helped me ^^)
