A New Companion
After some days of traveling alone, Kratos came to a Desian caravan. Unfortunately for the Desians, they decided to start picking on the angel.
"Hah, look at that! A poor human traveling alone. And he has an Exsphere! What do you think we should do with him, guys? Should we take him with us to the Asgard Ranch?"
"Yes, yes, Lord Kvar should be very pleased. Maybe he'll even up rank us!"
"Okay, guys, get him!"
With a heavy sigh, Kratos unsheathed his sword.

The corpses of the Desians in charge of the caravan fell lifelessly to the floor. Kratos broke the chains that tied the prisoners who were being taken to the ranch and freed them.
"Thank you, thank you! You're an angel sent by the Goddess Martel!" cried one of the prisoners as he ran back to Luin. Kratos stared at him…. No; it couldn't be… he couldn't possibly know where he came from.
When Kratos made sure all the prisoners had made it back to Luin, he went on with his journey. But maybe he didn't make sure very well, because some meters ahead he heard something among the trees' tops.
"Who's there?" he asked, unsheathing his sword again.
From a tree's foliage, two deep green eyes emerged, followed by a beautiful woman. Her long wavy her was as brown as wood, she reflected determination and power. Although her clothing was rather… unusual. She was dressed with the robe that all prisoners in the human ranch have, but she had tied some ropes to adjust it more to her well-formed figure.
Sheathing his sword back, Kratos asked: "What do you want? I'm too occupied."
"Humph. How inconsiderate!" chastised the woman.
"Inconsiderate? And just why, may I ask?"
"No! You may not ask!" snapped her.
"Wha--?"
"Well, how dare you rescue a demoiselle like myself and then leave her stranded here in middle of nothingness just like that?" she asked, as if Kratos had insisted nonstop on her telling him why he was inconsiderate.
"Luin is not more than a mile away."
"Yeah, right, whatever. I'll stick with you. I'm Anna. What's your name?"
Kratos just kept silent.
"Fine. Whatever. I don't need to know your name, because either way I'm just sticking with you."
Anna started on a downpour of chastising and reprimanding Kratos, who just kept ignoring her in turn. And so, their journey started.
