14 Not human

Nefertiri knew that there were more tribes like her own but she didn't really think too much into it. If we say that my tribe is the white tribe because after we are awakened our hair turns white if our attribute is not at the peak and we don't paint it then Zidites tribe is the black one but they stay with their natural color hair. So if they live longer anyway why the experiments?

Nefertiri looked at him with a glint in her eyes.

"So you noticed." Zidite started to talk. "My ancestors wanted to know where are we different. One of our own had a human mate. It's impossible to expand their lifespan."

It was sad she needed to tell but they could just wait for their mates soul to reincarnate. Even if it takes a long time it's worth it isn't it?

"But they can always wait for their mate to return."

"They get old. It's really sad to look at. We stay young but they don't. We have our powers we have the youth."

She understood then that it was really pitiful. While they lived for a short while they can stay alive for thousands of years without getting old. But she still can't let them experiment on humans if it's in this cruel way. Maybe they should ask the gods for guidance there was a ritual for a life expanse of their mate to bind their life together.

"I guess the learnings of the gods was long forgotten by them all." She whispered.

Zidite felt that she was talking about something really important but he didn't wan to ask. She hugged him tighter and started to whisper something in their ancient language. She draw blood used it as a lipstick on her lips and did the same using his blood. When she was done chanting she kissed him mixing their blood but tried not to smear it. She looked in his eyes and he knew then that what she was doing it was what his ancestors always wanted with their human mates. How could something so important be forgotten. He knew what he was supposed to do so he kissed her behind her neck and she did something else. She opened his shirt and kissed him where his heart was beating. At the end she kissed his ring finger and he hers. There showed up something similar to their wedding rings. They got accepted by the gods as a couple and their lives are now connected. Their minds are now one.

"So stupid of them all." She said.

"You are the truest priestess of the gods right know. There wasn't another one who could communicate with them like you do. It's as if you're one of them."

She didn't look him in the eyes when he said the most hidden truth. Her father is one of their gods as a kid she didn't know that no one did except her mother and grandmother. Even as one of the strongest ones being a god and being alone is not such a wonderful thing.

"Let's go to meet with Scar. I wanted to eat lunch with her." She took his hand and they went out.

Everyone was looking at them interested some of them really wanted to take pictures and post them online but didn't dare to. They really made a great couple who could think that this was going to happen.

They picked up Scar and her soulmate Keliah.

Scar wanted to eat something spicy so they got to a barbecue where they could eat meat how all of them wanted. After eating in a nice atmosphere they started talking about everything and nothing. Just getting to know each other. When they were done Nefertiri needed to talk with Scar about her findings.

"So you are saying that they did all of that for those hundreds of years just to know how to preserve their mate alive with them?"

"That's right."

"So you were not joking honey?"

"Not a chance."

"It's good that out tribe has you. Our old believes are still alive because of you and we learnt about the forgotten."

"I think that we should have contact with our tribes. Our kind should know about the forgotten if they are going to make such huge mistakes."

"You are right. If they knew about it they wouldn't do this mistake."

"Come let's eat dessert."

"Ooo yaaasss."

Nefertiri with Scar saw some ice cream both and forgot to tell their mates something so they ditched them.

After some time passed Zidite with Keliah started to get worried.

"Do you think something happened?" Keliah was slightly getting paranoid knowing Scars job.

"I just think they saw food and forgot about us."

Zidite showed Keliah what he saw and started laughing. Both girls were discussing something lively it looked like Scar was showing her preferences an Nefertiri got another opinion and they started a small fight like some children.

"Should we stop them?" Zidite looked at him disapproving. "Right better not."

After the girls got their ice cream with five different flavors they were slowly coming back.
