A Guardian

As Dashnell saved the young creed child that was the same age as himself he watched on as the Ancient Creed unleashed his creation upon the rest of the many realms cleansing them of all life.

After saving the young girl he would often venter out while the girl slept to save as many as he could but he found himself nearly dying each time he became surrounded by the created Creed.

The young Creed saw the similarities she possessed to the monsters that went about eating everything in their way even space itself was consumed by them.

"Why do they look so much like me?" She turned over to the young Guardian who was sitting at the edge of his created domain.

As he sits on the edge he leans on his right leg, letting his left leg hang of the edge as he watches the destruction of everything around him.

"They were created by an Ancient creature from the race my people tried to wipe out.

I don't know how he survived but so long as I live I will do my best to protect all life, too live up to the name of my kind as the last remaining Guardian I must!"

Turning his head back to the destruction he ventures out once more.

"Stupid fool." The girl mumbles as she watches the one who saved her rushes out once more.

She stands alone inside a massive sphere the young boy created, it is a ball of golden threads protecting her from the ongoing destruction.

At first she did not think this lone ball would be able to protect her and her savior but no matter how many of those creatures attacked they would all start to disintegrate once they came in contact with the sphear.

She wanted to ask how he created it but could not bring herself to ask after already being saved.

Looking on at him fight his way out of the encirclement they were trapped inside, she watches as he rushes around wiping out what seems like trillions of swarming flies.

No matter how many he kills there seems to be even more that show up after finding out something is left to fight them.

Over time she watched as he would come back completely covered in wounds bleeding from head to toe.

All while a smile remained on his face, was the smile due to him finally finding others and bringing them here inside the sphere or was it because he was happy to rush back out and fight?

She guessed it had to be a mix of both.

First it was just a single person making it three that now lived inside the golden sphere, then it was group after group followed by and entire ruined world.

The young boy amazed her more and more, he was able to fight no matter the numbers going against him growing stronger each fight and with every enemy he killed.

Some of the creatures saved even knew what he was.

A Guardian!!

No that is not what they called him at first they named him a God of Destruction or better yet they said it's a blessing that there is a living God of Destruction left to save them.

To become their Guardian.

She questioned them to find out more about the one who saved them all, while asking around a few of the others started to see the similarities between her and the monsters that destroyed their homeworlds, as well as ate their families and friends alive.

Before anything could happen like he could tell what was about to happen the Guardian returned to let everyone know that if they dare to fight each other or cause any harm to anyone within the sphere he will immediately remove them.

After this even though they still questioned her about her origins they kept their distance.

No one wanted to leave the safety of the magical golden sphere, especially as it was surrounded by the drooling monsters that began to slaughter each other because of the lack of food.

Not willing to stay inside the Sphere alongside those who looked at her with clear disgust she joined the Guardian in his search for any and all remaining life.

Even though she noticed he enjoyed the random slaughter he was allowed, the pair of them quickly noticed their mutual love of slaughter.

While she never went out of her way to save anyone at first over time Dashnells actions influenced her to act as he did and save as many lives as he could as he went about his massacre.

She even noticed that the young boy she started to admire more and more grew a tail, one he used to slice apart anything that got close to him. It even seemed as if it had a life of its own as it could often be seen killing things in unnatural ways as Dashnell moved about.

Curving to block attacks Dashnell clearly could not see, killing enemies that posed no threat to its master, the tail was Dashnells shield as he went wild.

She made sure to always stay near him so that if he ever needed her she would be there for him to aid him.

The days became years as the two fought, slaughtered and saved those remaining.

Those lucky enough to last long enough for Dashnell to sense their location and make his way towards them.

She was able to learn about her people as time went on as almost every single creature she and Dashnell saved gave her the same look, one of fear and disgust.

As she was the one to save a majority of the creatures Dashnell protected within his Domain they worked up the courage to ask her what she is and her origins.

Just like they had suspected she is indeed a Creed, the only difference is that she unlike the Guardian only knew of legends and stories about her people. While she only heard of how dreadful and evil the Creed were as they went about feasting on the various realms.

Depressed to see how no one treated her with warmth she thought about leaving, as the creatures that resembled her were so weak she could treated their existence like that of an insect swatting them to death as soon as they got near her.

One had to admit while the Created Creed went about following the orders of the Ancient Creed, they were no match for the two Chosen Children.

The Ancient Creed did not think anyone or anything would be able to easily kill his creations so he slept to recover his strength, as while he tried to run away from the war one of the Guardians fatally wounded him so much that he could not heal the injury.

He was further injured by one of his brothers who noticed what he was up too.

It was to late for the Creed to kill him as even if he was on the verge of death he quickly "killed' the Chosen Creed as he took their place inside the seal as he watched the Guardians cleanse his people as well as themselves in the war he escaped.

He did not think the Guardians and Creed would ignore the young girl as they both mutually wiped each other out.

They even blocked his vision to see the majority of the war so they could hide the fact that they placed the young Creed girl inside another seal the Guardians seemed to possess as they tossed her towards their own realm.

.....

"Dashnell!! I am leaving.

I can't take their looks of disgust anymore, I have already done enough my people are no match for you and their numbers have been greatly reduced.

So much so that they can no long find us or the other creatures we saved.

I think it's best we separate here, since they hate me so much I do not wish to be around them."

Before she could vanish Dashnell appeared before her wrapping his arms around her embracing her and bringing her in close enough that his breath could be felt by her.

As she tried to speak Dashnell kissed the young Creed girl as the many creatures still inside his Domain looked on in shock.

Taking his lips off of hers he looks on at her shocked expression.

"My father told me the best way make the woman you love happy is to seal her lips.

To show her that she alone is worth all he would suffer in life. So did it work?"

As he asked he saw her tighten her hold onto him as she squeezed him and this time she sealed his lips.

Once she calmed down she released her lips from his, looking into his eyes she saw a green pupil surrounded by a golden iris while red, black, white and silver could be seen revolving around the golden iris.

This sight shocked her as she has been with him for so long that she always noticed his stange eyes, just that now being so close she could see its true beauty as it looked like a Galaxy rested in his eyes.

As she looked into his eyes she mumbled out words she could not help but say.

"I love you!" The various races below watched on as their two saviors embraced each other.

Some of the ones that once feared her cheered loud enough for her to hear, rooting for as she just confessed her love.

As she cried she looked to see a smile that was different from every smile she ever seen him make.

"The smile of a Guardian in love is his true smile isn't it!?"

Laughing Dashnell could not help but think of the smiles on the face of his father and the other Guardians as they each passed on a bit of their knowledge to him.

Remembering this, his smile brightened as he looked at Annabel shedding tears for the first time in his life.

Seeing the joy on the faces of the two youths the hostility they held for Annabel melted away.

She has more than earned not only their respect but their worship as for the past few thousands of years the pair of unaging teens were the only ones that stood between them and absolute death.
